Update from Norway! Week 1: January 26-February 3, 2008 Experiences Greetings to you all from Lillehammer, Norway! Lillehammer looks like a winter wonderland, as it snowed heavily for two days straight. It is absolutely gorgeous! It finally stopped snowing today and we went for a nice walk. I got many wonderful pictures-here are a few of them! So far, my ...

... to travel. The scenery changes every few minutes, shifting gracefully from the busy towns like Lillestrøm to the rolling farmland dotted with colorful houses to the gentle curves on the shores of Lake Mjøsa. It is a truly lovely train ride. Geared up with my favorite ''Norway Soundtrack'' of all my favorite songs from last fall, I savored every moment of that 2.5 hour train ride. It's been unusually warm here (I place the blame squarely on the ...

... off. Had a lovely final few days in Bedford. We went to a pub, named The Rose just like ours !!, and then onto a club called Time Out where Im happy to report This Is How We Do It by Montel Jordan is still as big a hit over here as it ws 3 years ago. Feeling a bit sorry for ourselves the next day Liam and Jo took me to a carvery in Bedford for a big lunch of meat and vegies. Still feeling sorry for myself I had a nap and missed Arsenal beat ...

... started attacking anyone affiliated with the government. He was forced to run away from his home and his family for fear of the rebels coming to kill him. He ended up at a refugee camp and two years later his wife managed to find him. She did not know what had happened to him and for a while assumed that he had died, but somehow was able to find him. He was then reunited with his wife and 3 of his four children. The eldest had also run off for fear of ...

... t understand anything except the few Norwegian and English words that were thrown in every so often, but it was really beautiful. At the second break I sat with 3 women from Thailand who were all married to Norwegian men. They were also very friendly and we talked about the difficulties of learning Norwegian. One of them had just arrived 2 weeks ago, while one had been in Norway a few short years, and another something like 8 or 10 years so they had varied ...

... able to hop on my bike to make up for the extra minutes that I need sometimes in the morning to wake up and get out the door. Normally I would have to allow 15 or 20 minutes to walk to school, but with the snow and--even worse--the ice, I have to add an extra minimum of 5 minutes to my daily commute. Alright, I know, it isn't a big deal. The thing is, if I don't allow the 1/2 hour or 25 minutes to get to school and I try to hurry because I'm ...

... attempt to explain Plato (who she calls Platon)and his books about the state. I hope she can sort it all out whatever it is. It was raining most of the day, so I sported my Helly Hansen gore-tex and my REI backpack in order to brave the weather. It was the same misty rain as at home, so I was quite cozy. We got our meal stipend checks today (finally!) so Nat and I went to cash them and to check at a bike-repair place for their hours since he got a flat tire ...

... cage, of we would have all fallen out! All that I could think on the way down was that this is crazy!!! What am I doing!! At the same time it was also fun. For half the way down I had my eyes closed. It certainly got my heart pumping. It was a great experience to have done it on an Olypimc bob sled course. Our team had the second fastest speed. I am now going to have a sore nexk for a few days!!

Aga veel samal õhtul lõpetasime me Hamari ja Lillehammeri vahel olevas väikeses linnakeses :) Olime päeva lõpul koperdanud ühe toreda norraka otsa, kes meile Hamari linnas väikese autosõidu tegi - näitas Lillehammeris toimunud taliolümpiamängude jaoks ehitatud jäähalli ...
