This week marked my 7th week being here, which puts me around the middle of my trip here. I have a little over 7 weeks left and it seems like I've come a long ways, but still have a long ways to go and some business to try to finish with the Roosters coming up sooner than later. From talking to some of you on Instant Messengers and Emails I understand its getting hot and humid at home. Thats one thing that I do not miss at all. I will let you guys have the heat while I'm over here...

While I was in Finland there were two sites that kept track of the stats. However, since then one has gone away. See more stats from the League's site.

• Everyone here has a dog or two, but I've never heard any of them bark
• Its ok to walk down the street with a beer in your hand
• Its ok to walk down the street 3 sheets in the wind and the cops don't care (check the video link, we caught one on tape)
• There are no big buildings here, as in Tower like buildings
• People will only talk to you when they are...

I have:

• Eaten at the same restaurant for lunch every day since I've been here
• Seen the same drunk guy passed out at the same bus stop 5 out of 7 days a week....many times sick on his stomach if you know what I mean
• Sat in a sauna at least 3 days a week if not more
• Become a fan of "Hesburger"
• Spent so much...
