Quality Hotel Hafjell Lillehammer

... grupo. O fato de eu ja ter ido uma vez para Africa nao me fez sentir totalmente seguro. Digo, mesmo tendo estado 6 meses em Mocambique, minha impressao eh que esses proximos meses na India vao ser totalmente diferente.<br><br>Outro continente, outro pais, outra cultura, outra religiao, ... outros seis meses dificeis de se prever.<br><br><br><br>

... driver controlled the sled with three of us behind her. The bobsleds reach speeds of 140km/hr and the force is 5G's!!!! (The craziest roller coasters only reach about 2 G's, and at 8 G's a person passes out from the force). So in other words....it was a rush! Since the last time I wrote, I've tried quite a few new foods. I've tried fish in several different forms, never really liking it much but I keep trying it ...

... I know. :) I'm also learning to count and can count to ten and say the alphabet. Slowly but surely! Exciting Food I've already tried some very interesting cuisine since being in Norway. Some of them include: · Geitost- Goat cheese; a very sweet, rich cheese. I actually really like it with jam on bread or on Wasa crackers. · Wild furry animals (I think ...

... where we find a nice "Hutte" (Cabins) overlooking the Geiranger Fjord which we will go on tomorrow. Still Rolf did not think this was enough excitement for the day and after dinner in town he took us on the road/path to the top of the Dalsnibba, 1465 meters high with high walls of snow on either side and an onforgettable view of mountain peaks in snow and fjords ...

... more interesting. Apart from the academics, the academy was also a nice escape from Hamar. It was fun to be out with our classmates and to able to sit and eat together, which we normally do not get to do. It reminded me a bit of my experience at Holden Village over J-term. Actually, it made me think about applying to go up and work at Holden for a month or two this spring. I'm not sure whether or not I'll pursue it, but it's an idea. :)

... Do you want to love over the internet?" And Lauren replied, "You're married!" And to this, he said, "I'm not a homo!!" I thought I was going to die of laughter. Meanwhile, Translation-Man was singing me Albanian folksongs. Online-Lover was on a roll with his English now, making several other racial and sexual-orientation slurs, telling us how beautiful we were and such. Lauren said that they reminded her of Italian and Greek men, which makes sense since ...

... I have seen of Norway yet. The day could not have been more lovely. The receptionist at school found out we were headed to Dokka and she let us know that an order had been placed for good weather. We are planning on sending a thank you soon! We took a few pictures up there (However, I couldn't because my camera battery died...sad day.) Once we finished, we drove down to Rita's Aunt and Uncles farm. They were busy catching all of the sheep up in the hills for Fall, so we didn't ...

... into school and she is understanding conversations! We now have a place to stay in Oslo complete with a key, a car and food. Weird? Nei. Its really cool. Funny story here though. As we were pulling into Hamar, the lady wanted to exchange numbers with Christy, which they did, but in the excitement of arriving at our destination. Christy left her wallet on the bus. However, she was very calm. She claims it was because Norway being a welfare state, everyone is honest ...

After a few hours of driving, we arrived at Lillehammer for a ride in a bobsled on an Olympic course. A mini-van drove us to the top of the hill. There were four of us in each bob sled, which has been modified for use in summer- as there is no snow here now. In my bob sled there was, Nat, Tim, Trix and I. We went in bob sleds as teams to earn points. We put our heavy helmets on and got in. I was a ...

... lift down again. It's just another Ski Jump. We departed around 4.30pm and make our way to Lillehammer. While our hotel was a beautiful Radisson Chain, It was very far from the town center. A good old 30 minutes walk. We took a scenic route to the town via a forest trail passing through streams and Norwegian flora. The town was mostly closed for the day at about 6pm. We walked through the nearly deserted main street save for some cafes and spotted a relic from the ...
