I went to the Alcantarilha township with Nadia’s family. Whilst there we saw a giant pineapple!
Before some muppet tries to correct me … no this is not an actual pineapple 😉
Albufeira
Nadia and I visited Albufeira, a small seaside tourist town in Portugal. Nice views. Nice beach. Nice weather. Nice company. All around nice place 🙂

WordCamp Lisboa
I attended/spoke at WordCamp Lisboa 2012 in Portugal. It was a great time. Thanks to Zé and the other organisers for putting on such an excellent event.

Public urination in Norway
I’ve seen some weird shit in my travels around the world, but close to the top has to be the public urination in Norway. I always assumed that going to the toilet in public was something relegated to third world countries, but it seems that it is totally acceptable in Norway! They even have little stall thingies kicking about so you can just flop your wang out and take a slash in the middle of the city. I don’t think they poo in these things, but I didn’t stick around to find out.
The following photo was taken in the Oslo city center at the finishing line for the Oslo Marathon.
Thanks to Yelitza Magarita for taking the photo.
