Andliga hem


Jag fann mitt andliga hem idag. My spiritual home. Vid stranden till sjön runt Summer Palace,  Qīngyī Yuán, kände jag mig hemma. En plats där jag kan dö glad, där jag kan tillbringa mina sista dagar promenerandes…

Eller som shaolin munk. Showen “The Legend of Kungfu” är precis så sagolik som kritikerna säger och att ha fått se dessa shaolinmunkar live på plats i Kina är få förunnat. 

Facebook går fortfarande inte att nå från Kina. Det sägs bero på demonstrationer och upplopp i sydväst, men det är inget vi hör om här. Det är liksom ett par hundra mil och 1,3 miljarder kineser bort.

Nya bilder laddas upp på Flickr as we speak samt nya klipp finns att skåda på videbloggen:

No more Facebook while in China

Yesterday afternoon I was suddenly unable to log in to Facebook from about lunchtime, China time. Now I read that Facebook as officially been blocked in China. And Twitter. However, I can still use Twitter using Gmail’s Twitter Gadget, which is a bit of comfort, but I still miss being able too upload pics and vids to Facebook and too communicate with my friends back home in Sweden.

I wonder if this suddent ban is due to the riots in the west, which I only learned about by reading Swedish newspapers online.

Munich Airport - Shopping and dining

As you know we will have roughly five hours in Munich to kill. Apart from strolling down the shopping lanes, this is also a perfect time for some get-to-know games. If you are curious on what you will find at the airport, check out the link above.

Conspiracy theory: Jackson isn't dead

A couple of days of mourning my great childhood hero, I am starting to move on. My home is filled with his music though and I am rediscovering songs that I had forgotten about. And I have settled myself with the fact that he is gone and start to remember him as the bright star he was some time ago. That’s the MJ I want to remember. The Off the Wall-MJ, the Thriller-MJ, the Bad-MJ.

MJ’s music is selling again. Everyone wants his music again. I wouldn’t be surprised if he sells platina of all his albums. Again. And again. I have also been listening to that 911 call a couple of times. The caller seems very calm. The 911 person must be good with addresses; he hesitates when he hears the address. The caller is addressing the 911 person with “Sir” (I don’t know, but would you do that?)… So what if MJ isn’t dead? What if MJ just had enough of being hunted by the media, the fans and the fact that he was more or less broke? What if he simply went underground. He knew he would sell his music again like crazy… After all, Michael Jackson was also the king of shows.

The idea is playing around with my mind and to be perfectly clear, I don’t by it myself. Perhaps it’s just the denial phase that has struck me.

Like A Comet
Blazing ‘Cross The Evening Sky 
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon
