Bordellbesuch und drogenhandeln

I have been to three soccer games in my life. (Four if you count that my floorball team from Engelholm was handing out free samples from our sponsor Lipton Tea during a HIF game in Helsingborg 8 years ago or so. I saw 8 minutes of the game).

No 1.
May 17th, 2006. JLeauge Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, FC Tokyo - Urawa Reds. Result 0-0. Boring game.

No 2.
July 26th, 2006. JLeauge game. Urawa Reds - Oita Trinita. Result 1-0. Somewhat more enjoying than the 1st one.

No 3.
July 31st, 2006. Saitama City Cup 2006. Urawa Reds - FC Bayern Munchen. Result 1-0. Impressive arena (Saitama Stadium 2002 where Sweden played England during the world cup 2002) and Oliver Kahn had a new haircut.

Which reminds me of the Olli Kahn song by Die Prinzen. Great lyrics! (There are some parts I can't translate. If somebody know please let me know)

(Kahn) (Kahn)
Er bringt aufs Spielfeld viel Kultur (He brings culture on the playing field)
und das nicht nur durch die Frisur (Not only through his hairdo)
(Kahn)
er trinkt Schampus aus Pokalen (He drinks Champange from the cup)
und lässt sich dafür gut bezahlen (And for that he is payed well)
(Kahn)
Er hat durchtrainierte Waden (He has through-trained calves)
und darf mit vielen Männern baden (And may with many men bathe)
(Kahn)
Doch er läßt keinen an sich ran (And he never lets anybody ??)
und dieser Mann heißt Olli Kahn (And this man is called Olli Kahn)
(Kahn)
Dieser Kahn ist nicht zu stoppen (This Kahn can't be stopped)
er hat an den Füßen Noppen (He has ?? on his feet)
er ist der Kapitän an Deck (He is the captain on the deck)
er schmeißt sich für uns in Dreck (and throughs himself in the dirt for us)

Dieser Kahn kann manchmal fliegen (This Kahn can sometimes fly)
nur ganz selten bleibt er liegen (And very seldom he keeps lying down)
Dieser Kahn teilt auch mal aus (This Kahn ???)
und wenn er rot sieht (And when he sees red)
fliegt er raus (He flies out)
(Kahn) (Kahn)
Bordellbesuch und Drogenhandel (Visiting brothels and dealing with drugs)
sind nichts für Ollis Lebenswandel (Is not the way Olli lives)
(Kahn)
Er ernährt sich sehr gesund (He eats well and keep himself in shape)
sein Bauch ist flach der Ball ist rund (His belly is flat and the ball is round)
(Kahn)
ist der Rasen nicht beheizt (If the grass is not cut ??)
reagiert er leicht gereizt (He reacts easily??)
(Kahn)
er fährt selten Straßenbahn (He seldom uses trams/streetcars)
und dieser Mann heißt Olli Kahn (And this man is called Olli Kahn)
(Kahn)

And so on.. There is a little more but the only part there worth mentioning is instead of "And he is called Olli Kahn" the lyrics go "And his name aint Djingis Kahn"

クーマ・ファーン！

Happy congratulations on the 25th birthday Kuma!


Here's a Kappa choco keeki for you!

Ghosts

During a coffee break today together with Urata-san down in Finance dept. she told me that she didn’t sleep very well during nights. The reason was that she woke up because of ghosts. Something (someone) shook her shoulders or grabbed her legs, she could hear a screaming voice of some lady and a piano playing. Her countermeasure now is, either staying awake until early morning or putting salt on plates around her bed. Appearantly that didn’t work, so she tried drinking alcohol so she couldn’t wake up, but that just delayed the arrival of the screaming lady until later in the morning. This has been going on for a couple of months with 10 days or so between each occurrence. Frikkin crazy!

Hearing this reminded me about a similar experience I had in Shanghai. After Johan (With whom I shared apartment for three months) went home to Sweden, I went traveling for about two weeks in China. Back in Shanghai, some nights, I woke up because the door to my bedroom opened up (it creaked when it opened). I got up and closed the door, but same thing happened later the same night. I tried to put a chair in front, but it opened still. Finally I didn’t bother anymore to close the door, but after waking up in the night because of the creaking sound, it was closed in the morning. A couple of times it felt like something/someone was pulling my blanket off my bed. And it was not just that it fell of, because it pulled even if I tried to hold on to it. Three times, I woke up with a heavy pressure over my shoulder and one arm (I always lie down on my side when sleeping), freezing like h*ll. Then suddenly, after a month or so, it stopped and I haven't had any visitors since then (or any before that either). It must have been run over by a crazy Shanghainese taxi driver or something. Rest in peace!
