Picked up the trucks and everything that Ohana sponsored me with. Still trying to get a hold of some more trucks and since I haven't got an answer from Streetlab yet I'm going to stop by Hollywood this weekend and ask them again. I'll probably get a camera this weekend too so the first episode will be out shortly.
Today I got a call from the local newspaper Hallandsposten and they said they want to do a center spread about me and my project. Will meet up with them tomorrow, wish me luck!

Lugage, Visa and Talk
Just got out of a serious meeting with first our mentors Anna and Sara about our trip and our safety. The swedish ministry of foreign affairs have stated a risk of terror attacks in Kenya. We called them earlier today and they said that we should avoid public and crowded places but other then that there are no worries.
After that I had a short talk with our principal about insurances but there was nothing that had to be done regarding that area.
Got a mail back from Ethiopian Airlines about our lugage and they said we could check in two bags of 23 kg per person. This is really good news since I now don't have to pay any extra for our lugage.
Now, the thing to prioritize this week is to figure out how we do regarding Visa. Should we fix it before or do it there? Been up to this pint 100% sure there would be no problem to fix as soon as we get there but due to the stated terror threat I am not so sure anymore. Going to call the Kenyan ambassy in Stockholm later today and ask what they think.

Overweight luggage?
Just sent an e-mail off to Ethiopian Airlines were I ask if there is anyway for me to bring one overweight bag or two (that probably wont be overweight). Hoping for an answer soon!
Cancellation and T-shirts
Due to many circumstances I feel really bad to cancel our Nairobi trip. Were really looking forward to meet some local skaters and see the Kenyan skate scene but that will have to wait for another time.
Now for something positive! I got an e-mail the other day from a guy named Peter Mars that is launching a new brand and internet store called "Joe Anday" that will contain t-shirt and other garments. He said that he could sponsor with 50 t-shirts with the project logo on. This is amazing! The tees are a perfect thing to give to the kids!
