Notes: “No sir I do not have any drugs. Yes sir it is a long way to walk. No sir the guitar is not carrying drugs.” Two hours sat on a hard plastic chair. Supervisor comes in a few hours later “What are you doing here? Why haven’t you been let go?” I shrug. “Go! Have a nice time.” And that was that.

This month I am studying “Tang-Soo Do Karate”
Wondering whether I will be able to juggle both my karate studies and a HND in CompSci. The HND classes don’t look like they will take up all of my time, so we shall see.
This is the 23rd month of studying karate.
I have been pretty consistent in getting an hour or two practice per day over the past three months even with all the walking I’ve been doing.

Notes: The weather is crap. I’m soaked through. I’m stopping in Handewitt for the night. I called ahead and found a hotel not far from my route and I am going to stay there and get dry. Fuuuck. Tomorrow I will be in Denmark. Got to the border a day earlier than I expected but I don’t want to push on this afternoon.

Notes: The more I think about it, the more I am leaning towards a ferry from Denmark to Norway. And then spend a week or so walking up to Oslo. I do not want to be traversing Sweden and Norway in October. It also means I cut 500 miles off my journey because I don’t have to trek all the way up through Findland and then all the way back down through Sweden.

Notes: I have been thinking, when I get to Kolding next week I am going to think long and hard about whether I cheat and take a ferry across to Norway, or walk the long way around through Denmark and Sweden.

Today I finished reading “Appleseed: Prometheus Unbound” by Masamune Shirow
Omnibus versions of Japanese comic books. Easy to purchase in English language versions no matter which country you are in. Easy to give away to random people you meet along the road.

Notes: Hanging out with Mikhael for a couple of days. He’s going to let me use his spare bedroom and I can get a shower. I can also take this chance to go through my backpack and figure out what needs to be replaced. Mikhael is going to drive me over to a camping shop so I can get supplies. He also gave me three new sets of strings for my guitar. Total score.
