Hotel Gaustad Hotel Oslo

... a meia noite da vespera da minha partida.

Consegui chegar em Oslo sem maiores problemas, mas gracas a moderna invencao do telefone celular. Ao perceber que a situacao do visto estava se complicando acabei cedendo a pressao (depois de tanto tempo no Reino Unido sem um telemovel, como eles chamam la em Mocambique) e comprei um celular na esperanca de que me ajudaria a resolver os problemas mais prontamente. A mudanca de atitude chegou bem a tempo, nao fosse pelo ...

... Jose, og derfra hjem. Resten kan vi fikse senere.

Jeg må anstrenge meg for ikke å glise, det er så mye jeg gleder meg til. Men dette var iallefall første inlegg på en blogg for oss, og etterhvert interessert familie og venner!

... old in the 3rd city! LOL And after lunch we went back to the sculpture garden and just got to our hotel for the first time a little bit ago. I love Oslo so far! I don't know what I was excepting, but it is so very different then Denmark. I cannot wait to get to explore it on our own tomorrow. I am going to hit the state art museum, edvard munch's museum, and if there is still time I think the state contemporary art museum. After Norway it is a long bus drive to Sweden in a couple days!

... then we were off to buy: Pants x2 Fleece jumpers x2 Gloves x2 Scarves x2 Beanies Warm socks x2 Thermal pants for Greg? Ponchos x2 All on as tighter budget as possible. We had a good look through about 4 different stores before the shops shut (the last one at 8 but most at 7) and I had a pretty good idea about what I was getting. Leah was a little way behind. We bought some food from the market store including a jar of tom yum paste that I thought would make us ...

... a la que llegas atrasado a las cinco de la tarde, es en una gigantesca casa de maderas multicolores iluminada por antorchas y lámparas de sodio, alegre fantasma envuelto en la niebla. Crema de arenque, ciervo con duraznos y de postre unas raras grosellas silvestres que en inglés se llaman fresas de las nubes. Per, un noruego de ojos hundidos y barba rubia que vivió años en Indonesia, que trata de explicarte por qué no se puede medir a Suharto con c ...

... I am sure he is obliviously to her current yearnings. The funny thing was she kept telling the story (considerably longer than my summary) and asking me what I thought. She never asked a direct question I could answer. If I asked her a question about her story she would start telling the story again from the start. I did not know how to end the conversation. It just kept going around in circles. It finally ...

... the human figures that spiral upwards, halting a bit midway and then rising fast towards the summit, comprised only of small babies. Surrounding the monolith was a plateau filled with grey granite statues of humans, in their different stages of life, engaging in different human situations and interactions. Children playing, young teenagers exploring ...
