It's been a great five weeks, but there are some things that I do miss from home:

... bag in the freezers when you don't speak a single word in Norwegian. You could end up with frozen french fries, or you could have just bought yourself half a cod. Anyhow, I've learned to take a translator with me so at least I have someone to blame when I end up with a jar of vegemite instead of Nugatti (which is a pretty good imitation of Nutella).
