Animals


Grasshopper, a delicatessy in Asia. mmmmmmmmmmmmm


A frog, a really ugly frog


A bird, one of many cute birds that joined us for breakfast


Spider, the animal so many are afraid of including my Sandra. Impossible to pee alone with the spider waiting outside the bathroom window.


Human, the worst animal of them all. Here a nice version of the species.

Crazy Ipanema

A beautiful summerday spent on Ipanema beach, with Tittens girl Sandra. The love story that deserves a book and maybe even a hollywood movie release.

Titten have never seen as much people in Ipanema as this day. The pictures doesnt show this well enough. The romantic day at the sunny beach was ended in a way it sometimes does in Ipanema. Everyone running away from the beach as the poor favel apeople starts to fight and rob everyone in one end of the beach. How it was can you check out this youtube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWfu5WvUJd0


Loads and loads of people


Even more people. So much life.


Titten and Sandra, back together at the beach. So romantic.


Titten at the beach. Needs sun, too whitey. Today too burned.

Rio de Janeiro- a love story


Love story for the books and movie theaters. Sandra and Titten back together in Rio. Titten renting the same apartment he has done once before between Copacabana and ipanema. Great location.


It will hopefully be an happy ending to the love story! The future will show.

Chicken Pizza (Chichen Itza)


The Kukulcán Pyramid or El Castillo (The Castle) - Chichen Itza

The place Chichen itza has it name


Titten visited his number 6 of the new 7 wonders in a state in Mexico just outside Cancun. He now just miss Petra in Jordan. Hope he can be able to see that next year. Chichen itza or chicken pizza like i like to call it was loads of new impression stones. Not as impressive as other locations Titten have seen but still good.

Short about Chicken Pizza from wikitravel: Chichen Itza was a center of pilgrimage for the ancient Maya for over 1,000 years. The Sacred Cenote (a large natural well or limestone sink hole) was holy to the ancient Rain God "Chac". About 987 ruler of the Toltec people of central Mexico came here, and with his Maya allies made Chichen Itza the most powerful city in the Yucatan. The ruler called himself "Kukulcan", the name of the Mesoamerican Feathered Serpent deity (also known as "Quetzalcoatl") and Chichen Itza became a center for worship of that god as well. More buildings were built here in a mixture of Maya and Toltec styles.

Cancun- Crazy American charter place


Titten not good to take picture at night. When will he learn. here some photos of ugly american tourists, that didnt know too much about the world.

Up really early monday morning. Not good for a guy that just had Swine flu. Going to visit his country nuber 51. pretty impresssing. He arrives Cancun in Mexico and need to answer a sheet that he has not had any symptoms on swine flu the last few days, hmmmmmmmmm. Might even still be some fewer.

Titten arrives his All inclusive resort that just cost 70 USD per night. He warms up with some tequila before he goes to bed and sleep for 12 hours, that saves the rest of his trip. In the resort titten meets loads of crazy americans. With silicon and without. Sharing for Obama, some sharing for Bush. Some knowing about Norway, some beliving it next to Canada. Interesting people, the Americans. After meeting a bunch in his life time he starts to understand why this country actually selected Bush to be their president.

To describe the american tourists in Cancun in another way, we can say that they are a bunch of american versions of charter Svein (norwegian reality celenbrity, very annoying guy)

A few pictures from Cancun below.


View from the resort


Hotel swimming pool. Loads of party there.


Cancun a nice beach and nice place, but it does not beat Asias exotic paradises.

Fall in NYC- Central Park


We walked by central park. Beautiful with all its colours. Titten hate the fall but must admit it can be spectacular and beautiful

Empire state Building and a birds, great birds

Titten took some good photos on top of the Empirestate building. Great view by the way, and actually worth the 20 USD.


Great Panoramic view of NYC. If you look closely can you see the statue of Liberty


Great photo of a bird


Titten on top of Empirestate building, still looking a little sick


A bird, another great bird

Wall Street, Ground Zero, subway and some sushi

Sunday titten felt pretty well and visited Wall Street, Ground Zero (11th September 2001) and Empirestate building. Finishing the day with great romantic sushi meal
with Goggen and a movie. Great date!


Ground Zero. Terrible place and the remainings after 11th of Septemeber and the more than 3000 that was killed here under the terriorist attack. It is going to be build a nice park for rememberance thoug. Already more than eigth years ago now. Process should hurry. Titten thinks time flies way to fast.

More Wall street. Soon Titten is going to belong here, the day his ideas will turn to money.

Titten visited Wallstreet on a Sunday. Not a bussy day, but still a interesting place for the MBE degree guy to see

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Titten just loves it, so does Goggen. Sushi. Healthy, fresh and it tast fantastic.
