Haukeliseter Bo I Telemark

Vi kom oss hjem uten større problemer.. Faktisk overraskende uten problemer. Vi blei ikke satt i avhør på flyplassen og det tiltross for at vi har stempel fra flere arabiske land i passet. Vi fikk bare spørsmål og hva som var hensikten med besøket vårt til Israel, og når vi svarte ferie så var det greit.. Hu så ikke gjennom passet engang. Proble...

Godt Nyttår alle sammen! :-)

Maria har feira nyttår hjemme i Egersund mens Tone har vært på hyttetur i Valdres og opplevd 30 minus på nært hold.

Nå er det bare fire dager til vi reiser og skal oppleve sol og varme på to hvitbleike norske kropper. De siste dagene har gått til med mye organisering av papirer og en del telefonsamt...

- Barbecue at the one of the student`s dormitory. - THE song: We had to perform a song this evening in front of alle the first year students. The song was our invention. We were just given a couple of words and had to make up everything else. Here`s the practise..... :)

Here are some pictures from the opnening ceremony, the treisure hunt and the party in the evening. The treisure hunt was organized by the students comitee. Every class had "Fadere" -> mentors or guides. We went through Notodden and had to fullfill differnt tasks. Very funny! :)

Landed at Torp Airport on time and made the short bus trip to Larvik, a town famous for Thor Heyerdahl - a scientist and explorer who sold across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in reed boats, to prove contact could have occured between the major civilisation in man's early history. The first thing to do on any trip is find the tourist informatio...

We asked K Paw Gay not to fix anything special for breakfast, but she did. It was so nice to see how she and her husband Htee Hser worked together such as in the meal preparation the night before. He was peeling potatoes and nicely cutting them up. He was very friendly to us. He is studying computers and had a laptop. I wanted to connect to thei...

I saw the northern lights for the first time tonight! It was so cool! They were this soft green pulsing sort of movement that just floated around and danced just over the tree tops. It's so much cooler to see it in real life than it is on TV! Now, I just need to see a Norwegian moose and I will have seen all the things I was hoping to see before...

Well, today we went and spent the whole day laying around on an island just a little ways from Tonsberg with Joe's aunt and uncle and their friends. It was "lovely", as are most things here. I felt a little overwhelmed with the group of strangers. It's hard enough to communicate with someone I know, or with one person that I'm meeting for the fi...

Today was more of the usual routine so far...I woke up late, took a shower, had some bread with brown cheese (Dad! It's like Christmas every day here!) and sat around for a while. Joe's dad is an amateur photographer and showed me some of the wildlife pictures he has taken. They were really beautiful. It was cool to see what some of the wildlife...

Aktive Fredsreiser
I 1992 startet Helga Arntzen foreningen Hvite Busser til Auschwitz. Dette ble senere en Stiftelse. Formålet var å gi en effektiv vaksine mot nynazisme i Norge. I 1998 startet Helga Arntzen så Aktive Fredsreiser. I tillegg til arbeide mot nynazisme fokuserer Aktive Fredsreiser også på menneskerettigheter og fredsskapen...
