Places we live ...

OK whats the deal with the tank? Gay protest against homos in the millitary? Pink Pussycat Panther had a night on the London town? Make love not war? Graffiti artist had no more extra colors in stock?
Female tank-unit? A promo for female undies for men in the millitary?

 

Sundsvall alias Punksvall.
Home of

and

​

We also made a shitload of Absolut vodka. ​

Sundsvall was founded as a fisher town in 1621 and was the first industrial city in Sweden, but ppl have been living at the location since 400-500 AD.

The city has burned down and been rebuilt four times. The first time, in 1721, it was set on fire by the freakin Russian army before we kicked their asses back to russia during the Great Northern War. The last fire, in 1888, was the largest in Sweden's history. It is presumed that the fire was caused by a spark from a steamship. After that fire, the city centre was rebuilt only with stone buildings. Sundsvall's centre is therefore nicknamed Stenstaden (the stone city).


Now PPL in Punksvall mostly work in paper industry, IT/telecom, insurance or banking. We have the only permanent drag racing strip in Sweden and a shitload of nice girls. We also have the annual Gatufest where the whole town is turned in to a street party with loads of beer and music. There is about 100+k ppl living in Punksvall






For some reason I dont know we have a dragon as the symbol for the town, in the summer the city is full of statues of dragons

AND we have the Swedish champion basketball team Sundsvall Dragons.



Here you can take a virtual tour http://www.hitta.se/LargeMap.aspx?gatubild&gvX=6920767&gvY=1577840&gvH=255 just klick on the arrows ;)

 

no deal as far as im aware. though a bit of make love and a bit of thats what the graffiti arstist had. its funny that you ask whats the agenda with the paint: my first question was what the fuck is a tank doing on a random patch of grass in the middle of London
though i knew it before it was pink and just down the road is the Elephant & Castle shopping centre which was pink up until about 10 years ago. so to me the colour has not been the most striking thing about about it.

 

gotto love the Irony tho. looks like the Londen gay pride parade took a wrong turn into the wrong neigbourhood.

I am sure it serves as a landmark alone.

 

Africa is pretty cheap for most foreign currencies ;) (except maybe the flight )

 

When I was in SA for 12 Months in 2004, I did shopping at Pick&Pay. When you do the currency exchange math, the prices are exactly the same in SA as in Europe. Sadly there are no laws in SA that protect a fixed minimum income for employees, people are extremmelly exploited and underpaid. Thats explains for instance why peops starve in that country of abundance. refered to as the great opression of classes.

Thats why I live in Holland, I have a life here that I can never build up in one lifetime in SA.

There are some things cheaper for tourists , not comodeties.

Only a select group of peops with fixed contract jobs in large companies in SA recieve the same salary scale as peops in EU and US. Very difficult to get in, SA is big on Varsety degrees and over education for job possitions LOL. Daylaborers are screwed tho.

 

Maybe I have to plan a trip to Vienna in Summer to go to the Strandbar, mostly I have been visiting in January I think

 

isnt the masked Carnival the most famous event in Vienna?


mabe I am confusing Vienna with Vennice here.

 

Gaaah its like 884,5 km Sundsvall is smack in the middle of sweden.

 

Amsterdam :)

 

Toilet. Stomach flu. Nuff said - xcept: VUTUMM!!!

 

Hills, fields and a lot of green :)

 

Wrong. And that's enough off-topic from me.

 

Vain arrogance neither impress nor convince me. Bussiness owners and upper to middle class peops in SA do underpay and exploit employees in that way. Pls dont try, I walked that road already. Unless things have changed since 2004.

Fact is I used to be a Spur Waiter for many years and many different spurs. No sallary. just 3-4 % commision on what you sell and tips. No light work either, for what? Peanuts!

Shadowsong, you may be upper to middleclass and rich according to SA standards, explains that comment.

 

I have been in Rotterdam a couple times Very nice place and some very nice little towns around there.

(had a bf there)

 

Remember the tower you had in Dome 20? i camped that spot for weeks and then you hit it, I was sooo fumed at the time girl, you have no idea LOL.

 

Kay Lykke sry bout it. Carry on:)
