Small world... but you wouldn't want to paint it.
Update: False alarm. I sent her some pics of Sammy and turns out he's not her cousin. Still wierd, though, as it means there are two people with almost exactly the same life stories... Maybe something to do with the CIA, eh K??
I just bought a TV, and what's the first thing I see when I turn it on? A travel doco about Queensland. All the accents sounded really wierd, like caricatures of Aussie accents. I haven't been gone that long! They were Queeeenslaanders, I guess.
I Went to a club last night to give the booty a long-overdue shake. Feeling a bit optional now.
The club was called X3M. This little piece of alphanumeric trickery works in Swedish because 3 is pronounced "tree", so you get "XTREEM". It also works in English if you have a speech impediment.
I met a girl there from Vasa, Finland, who was in Umeå just for the weekend. She has a cousin who lived in Sydney until recently, but has headed back to Finland for army service, who is really into scuba diving, whose name is Sammy.
Either our beloved dive-club president has some kind of doppleganger, or I just had one of those head-spinning fluke small-world dealos. Either way, it's pretty freaky. And either way, I have a new friend in Finland.
My first real night out on the town in a small town in Sweden, and I meet the cousin of a buddy from Australia. What are the odds?
Sammy joins me in Sweden in a few weeks, en route to Finland. Plundera mate!
Sammy, El Presidente and political prisoner, dreams of freedom.
Behind him, Gay Dodgy Steve looks to the heavens, dreaming of a different kind of freedom.
