Last week I were in Stockholm to apply for my VISA to go to India… my departure day was November 3rd, today it’s 5th of November and I’m still in Sweden.
It’s not so bad since the whole gig was delayed a couple of weeks, which means I now have time to pick up my VISA in Stockholm, I have time to spend with my wife, I can play some Xbox… no stress!
For all of you who wanted to see CERO2 but didn’t think I desserved any cash for making it, or those of you who really didn’t have any money to buy it or maybe you just think I’m a looser=) well, now you can find around 50% of the CERO2 project here: http://www.mininova.org/tor/3091911
Some people who bought the DVD probably think this is unfair… well, if you like my work and if you want me to do any future DVD projects then if you enjoy the video/DVD then buy the DVD, even if you just downloaded it for free, I mean if you appreciate what I do then show it 
The profit made on CERO2 will go into another project, for this project I have a budget and I’m not there yet, if you like CERO2 please go to http://www.freestylefactory.net and buy a copy from the online store!
I came back from Stockholm on Sunday night, my lovely wife had the food ready by the second I stepped into our apartment. Meanwhile my mum and my sister were chilling in a house with a swimmingpool, jacuzzi and a big screen around 1h away from where I live.
I called my brother who just came back from the house to see what the fuzz was all about. He told me it was definitely worth driving there, so we got into the car and went there.
It was a great place to be in, relax and just enjoy life…
On Monday night we drove back home and watched a movie.
I’m on the bus right now, on my way home from Stockholm. Red Bull Street Style Sweden -09 was held on October 24, 2009. The standard this year was much much higher and I believe that all guys who reached the quarter final had a good chance of winning!
I had some good battles and in the end I won which I’m very happy with since Sweden might be the hardest country to qualify in, at least one of the hardest. Two guys pulling of patws… it was a fantastic day!
Big respect to all of the football freestylers who participated and a big thanks for a great day!

In November I’ll travel to India… that’s gonna be quite something, I can promise you that!
Anyway, to go to India there is a lot of things you need to do, or some things you are recomended to do and other you have to do. I decided to take some injections, I called to the clinic and they told booked me a time the next day for a couple of jabs.
In the end I got three different jabs and something that I should drink… the party ended at €180…
Something important is still missing though… VISA, there seems to be only one place in Sweden where you can apply for VISA and that’s Stockholm… I’ll just take the bike there… NOT… Stockholm is 400km away which takes around 4-5h with the bus, which is a whole day of travelling to get there, apply for the VISA and get back. Then I have to spend another full day to collect my VISA when it’s finished… awesome…I don’t know if I’ll get my VISA before I’m supposed to departure.
More about what will happen with the VISA will come…
A short video from the trip to UAE… enjoy!
I got a warm welcome when I arrived back in Europe, Amsterdam. Once I get to the transfer desk they tell me I don’t have a seat on the flight but just in case there will be one available I am told to go to the gate anyway. This is not the first time this happens when I fly from Amsterdam to Gothenburg with KLM.
This means I have to go through a passport control which was extremely crowded, it was just one big cue… Chaos! After maybe 30 minutes of standing in the cue it appears that I am standing in “all passports” cue… This is not very cool and I can’t just switch the cue. After around 80 minutes I just have around 10 people infront of me, but unfortunatly 8 of them was equal with troubble so it took me another 40 minutes before I was through, just two hours in a cue with the knowledge of that I will not even get on the flight… Nice… Not!
I MADE IT!!! I got on the flight…
As the lucky guy I am I got between an old man and an indian man who seemed to be cool… Until he started to burp, quite loud and without covering his mouth while burping. After a couple of burps the dude at the aisle decided to change seat so I took his seat… Thank god:)
At least the indian dude could not burp me in the face anymore.
I’m sitting here at Dubai airport waiting for my flight to departure back to Europe. I’ve had a great time here in Dubai and also in Abu Dhabi. I made new friends and seen more parts of this beautiful planet:)
Seriously, I’ve had a great time…
I have the middle seat it seems like and I never find it to cool to sit in between two dudes you’ve never met before, peoe falling a sleep on you, people smelling(I probably do that this time because of the freestyling). Anyway… I hope to be back in the middle east soon!
I landed in time in Amsterdam and as I had some chilling time I decided to go to my secret special relax sofa… Yes, it was free this time to!
When it was 60 minutes to departure time I decide to go to my gate which was in another part of schiphol, which btw is a huge airport.
On my way to my gate I see a McDonalds and I decide to eat… When it’s 25min to departure time I realise that I have to hurry. While I’m on my way I suddenly feel it, someone is knocking on the backdoor, and it’s urgent. Time is also running out, I decide to continue to the gate. There is no people outside the gate… Hmm, should make the drop off in the plane? Well, it can not wait any longer… I’m in, make the drop off and out again from the toilette within a minute I guess.
I run to the gate so it looks like I’m in a hurry, I make the flight but I believe I was the last person to board the plane.
When I take my seat the captain makes an announcement. He says that the aircraft is heavily loaded because of cargo… He also kindly ask us to keep our original seat(there were plenty of seats free). This is because we have all been strategically placed around the plane so that the balance will be good. The captain said that if we started changing seats we might not be able to take off. After the take off we could change seats if we wanted to.
For me this was no problem as I had 3 seats all to myself. While I enjoy this moment I hear a voice asking “can I prease sit here”?. I look up and see a Japanese man. I tell him it’s ok but just in case he didn’t understand the announcement I just wanted to tell him that maybe it would be better if he came back after the take off… He looks at me and says that he understand the situation and then he turn his head away. The question that comes into my mind is how can you understand a situation but you still do what you’re not allowed to do?
