Estonian dude

And another 4 days off gone like a poof. Visited the biggest amusement park in the country with my brothers and that was about it. Now 10 more days of work until my best mate comes and we can finally do a proper roadtrip.

It sucks. I think my ideal town would be a uni town with 100-150k inhabitants, meaning not too big and clustered, yet big enough to have everything.

Who the hell needs to buy an IELTS certificate? It ain't that hard to get legally and if you can't get it you have bigger issues in life. Also, I don't even earn 1700 bucks a month. Yet I imagine I have as much or more disposable income as any of you. Nearly all of my income is disposable, as rent and board are provided by employer :P

Did they also mention pulling hair?

@RPG, I thought you were already fairly committed? And this is the first summer in like, ever that I am not the whitest swan around. Working outdoors with THAT freak weather we've been having here (seriously, farmers are importing hay and grass from the States now, so dry) has given me a fair bit of a tan. My legs are still fairly white as I have to wear long pants, but my upper body has some quite massive tanlines... Also, really need a shave and a haircut, last time I had one was on 2nd of March...

You never know what exactly they are looking for.

Work, work, work all the time.

Train was late by an hour, so I missed my connection. Ended up with the train company paying for a 140 km taxi ride to get me where I had my ticket to :D Of note was that the taxi (a Volvo V70, around 2011-ish, 2.4d engine) had done 767 000 km's. That's almost half a million miles. On the first engine. And chassis. And everything. And the driver wasn't light with his right foot. Some cars are still built to last... #hardcoreswedishsteel

I've never been denied a job after an interview. Don't know if I just ace them or whatnot. I know that in at least one of the spots I got they get 10+ applicants per spot. Pretty cool weekend, being back home during summer in our summer capital. Bloody epic here.

Why the hell must hangovers be so bad? Also why the hell are barbershops so expensive now? Quick online search didn't even get a trim for 40 bucks. I remember when it was 5. RPG, what do you have against guys in their 20's wearing pineapple tank tops and shorts?

Going to my glorious homeland of Estonia for the weekend. And all my plans went the way of the dodo yesterday, so pretty let down. Oh well, gotta try to take the best of it.

Just checked and our family car has done at least 387k km's. And it's our only car. And we freaking love it, cause it's from a time when cars were fuel efficient and reliable. 4,5 litres per 100km's efficient, has 105 kw and weighs nearly 2 tons. Yes, it is a big-ass diesel Volvo wagon. We use it to move our whole family, dog and all of our stuff for the whole summer to Norway and back. And I heard you guys were terrified of the 200k mile mark...

I don't have a car and no money either, so no worries either way :D

Our family's only car is a Volvo from 2000. Can't say we've spent too much on repairs. And got it for 2000 euros, used from Germany a few years ago. 2012, maybe? Still running quite well. Old cars that don't have too much electronic shit and have higher tolerances for issues last forever. Sadly, pretty much the endpoint for that sort of cars is around the change of millennium...

Got my schedule, gonna be here in Norway till end of September. Free house till then. Absolutely no plans whatsoever after that. I'd like to apply to university here, but I realized I am not gonna pass the language test for Norwegian just yet, can't write it that well and my vocabulary is too limited. So thinking of touring a bit of Europe, then getting a job in the ski resort over winter and learning the language meanwhile aswell.

I met a few Saudis in NZ. They were on a wee bit different opinion about a lot in their country. But they had also lived quite a long time in one of the most equal countries in the world in terms of genders, NZ. They thought the new king would change a lot towards the more liberal. But as they say, power corrupts and absolute power, like the royal families have in pretty much all of the Middle East corrupts absolutely.

I've realized it's the thing with every city. People in cities are always tied up in their rat race, no time for anyone or anything. And that means a lot of rudeness aswell. Things are not so bad in smaller towns or places.

That's what every Dennis says.

I don't want the day after tomorrow, too cold! Tomorrow, I'm planning to visit the highest waterfall in Sweden. And also do either a thru-hike or hike around the falls, but depends on weather and whether I get someone to come along.

Yeah, fully furnished never means all appliances and everything for us either. Washing machine, fridge and stove are generally included though. But everything smaller - nope, bring your own.

Tomorrow gonna support the local community on the fair. And also hope the Swedes kick ass. When they do, I wanna be in Sweden for the semi-final. Luckily it's just a 15 minute walk away :D

Yesterday, went out to throw some discs and also shopping with my family. The only person who bought something was my brother, who hates shopping. My (step)dad, who desperately needs new clothes couldn't bear to sacrifice a few euros of his beer money to get super cheap clothes here. Bloody drunks.

Yesterday. All my troubles seemed so far away.

Hopefully not literally. Me mum has colon cancer, she has pain in the arse all the time and it is dreadful seeing her suffer. But yeah, turns out I have inherited some thyroid shit and also cancer in my direct family.

Yesterday I slept and helped a calf into this world. Also shot antibiotics to a cow and painkillers to another one. #farmlife
