Boat trip in Swedish waters

Iris Daniela Classon — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:52:53 +0000

The summer is not exactly going to waste here, the last two days me and Daniel went with his parents and his sister on a boat trip, soaking up the sun, swimming in the dark blue waters and barbequing ribs (perfectly done by his dad ).This summer has been unbelievable and for the first time in years I have truly been able to relax and enjoy a well deserved vacation. There has been travel (to California and Nevada), parties (Surrender nightclub, Benny Benassi @ Steve Angelo) and my favorite thing, good food (lobster, seared tuna and the best ribs in the world!).We are keeping it healthy thought, no point to pig out just cause it’s summer. There are plenty of ways to combine ribs to get a healthy dinner.Remember to adjust your portion, and have a fresh salad and vegetables, and drop the Coke and have some refreshing mineral water instead. ‘Loka’ is quite popular here in Sweden, mine was with a drop of lemon.

What can I say, good company good food (provided my Daniels mum- a very good cook!) and good weather. Life is just plain good my dear, very very good. If summer was this great, then autumn and winter will be even better!

According to researchers at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, low social interaction twice as harmful as obesity and just as harmful as alcohol and smoking when it comes to longevity. The meta-analysis suggests that social ties have a very important but not widely recognized effect on health. Read more

Steve Angello @ Port du Soleil Gothenburg, Sweden

Gothenburg must be the best place in the world to live this summer! Earlier this week we saw Benny Benassi perform live, and last night it was Steve Angello. Again it was me, my husband Daniel, his boss John, a friend Fredrik and another friend of ours Jonas. After a few pre-drinks, consisting mainly of homemade sangria (yummy stuff!) we headed to Port du Soleil, a very sleek and contemporary night club/restaurant that is only open summertime.The lines were long, but we had no problem getting in (probably because they let in way to many people, well over the amount allowed I am guessing). We even managed to get a table in this over-crowded nightlub (a true blessing!), and enjoyed the fabulous sounds of Steve Angello (real name Steve Angello Josefsson Fragogianni), one of the top House DJ’s in the world. I would love to put up some pictures and a video from last night, but my SD-card reader made my computer crash last night, so I have to get a new one . Ill get that done tomorrow. Until then, here are some pictures from Nattstad.se taken by our good friend and photographer Sebastian Mandrean.

Vitamin D linked to Parkinson

According to a study presented in Archives of Neurology low vitamin D levels might provide an important clue as to why some people are more prone to develop Parkison’s disease. The study that involved 3000 participants and lasted 30 years found that the participants with low levels of vitamin D ere three times more likely to develop Parkinson’s.

Benny Benassi @ Trädgårn (Sweden, Gothenburg)

Iris Daniela Classon — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:09:04 +0000

What a night! Last night me, Daniel and John S. went to Trädgårn where Benny Benassi performed. He is among the top ten best DJ’s in the world according to some magazines, and my favorite song ‘Satisfaction’ is probably the one he is most know for. In 2008 he actually won the Best Remixed Recording at the 50th Grammy Awards for his very popular remix of Public Enemy’s Bring the Noise. Not bad! Did you know that he is worth 12 million dollars (according to celebritynetworth.com). Last night I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with this mega-hit Italian DJ, as he only played very few of his known songs, and instead spent most time playing rave- a style I am not a very big fan of. When he played ‘Satisfaction’ the floor got crowded with people, but as soon as he started playing (from his latest album Rock and Rave I believe) only non-vocal two thirds of the people left. Just before we went home we noticed that there had been more people there when Johan Wedel (the warmup-DJ ) performed, and I am sure he didn’t cost as much as B.Benassi did. He had an awesome energy and I liked his style. Well, the people who made this night happen, Nattstad, did not disappoint. The venue, Trädgårn is probably one of the best venues for this kind of thing, and everything was top-notch. Thank you for the VIP guys, and for a very good night indeed (at a very affordable price!). here are some pictures from last night:

Tuesdays @ Locatelli in Sweden Gothenburg

Iris Daniela Classon — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:16:54 +0000

Back from USA, we have a lot of going out to do to catch up with the rest of the crew. I love going out, and this summer we are planning on testing a lot of new places in Gothenburg. Tuesday we went to Locatelli for a few hours, nothing big, just a relaxed day in good company. J and K got wasted thought, and that was a bit annoying as I much more prefer the guys sober. Locatelli is a nice place, you pay 60 SEK for entrance and they serve free hotdogs (warning! The hot dogs taste like s***) and popcorn once you get in. It is cozy and laidback and hosts a more ‘mature’ clientele that seem to go there mostly to have late-night love and war discussions. I’ll probably go there again.
