... I tried "liverposte" which is a liver paste (it reminds me a lot of the braunschwiger I used to eat with Uncle Arlie as a child, only in a paste form) and bacon ost (which is a bacon cheese spread). I also went out to eat for the first time and discovered that in Norway you don't need to leave tips! (We left one and the waiter was a bit confused) :) I don't think we'll be eating out very often, however, because it seems ...

... was the literal translation) :) - Reindeer and elk with gravy and rice · Fish Pancake- This was interesting. I'm NOT a fish person but promised myself I would try anything once and would try fish a lot, since it is a big part of the Norwegian culture. The fish pancakes weren't actually that bad. They were served with potatoes and butter sauce with some type ...

... the way back the brakes started to make a noise and back in the hutte The boys decided it was a stone in the brake and they would fix it. They put the car up, something went wrong and the car fell of the jack, thank goodness no lasting damage was done.The problem was fixed. It occurred several other times but generally the stone would fall out by itself. saturday 9th of June

... I think the hardest goodbyes will be on Sunday beacause it will be our last day with Rita and the Namibians. It's sad. I think we were just getting to finally break the ice with them, and now it's time to part ways. We went to a Christmas party at the farmer school and I managed to convince two of them to come with us for the first time all semester. It was a blast. I ...

... out ok in the end. Nat arrived today around 3pm from his field-study up north where he has been working with 2 different boat builders. Just in time to set the table and eat! We invited our friends from Namibia, Ellison, Lovers, Matengu, Fritz and Lemmi, and also our friend Anna from Germany who all came. We also invited our professors Kjersti and Inger, but both of them had previous engagements, and our Norwegian classmates were all busy too ...

... the way it is rumored to have or if it , and whether or not mediation is considered by the students to be a respected method for dealing with conflicts. I have all next week to try and get my answers, so wish me luck! After settling things with Berit, I met Rita for dinner in Majorstuen, one of the more affluent neghborhoods in Oslo. We ate at a bar (167 kroner is about $27 USD...ouch) where I had a tasty quesadilla and salad. Then we went to the ...

... if I remember correctly she is getting some kind of an emphasis in English during her teacher training since she is a student teacher at my college. Her English is pretty much perfect, so I am just hoping that I can pull my weight in the work, since my Norwegian is extremely lacking in comparison. The exhibit we are translating is REALLY cool too. It's called Norwegian in 100 or maybe Norwegian for 100 would be better...I'll have to ask Rita. Haha. Anyway, the rest ...

... I think about it. Fortunately, I like chocolate milk! Later in the day, we had a picnic in the park near the ruins of an old church on the lake. We bought an "engangsgrill" which is on of my favorite things here, a disposable grill. It's basically a foil pan with a few holes in the sides for air, filled with charcoal, and topped with a paper fire-starter and thin wire rack. It only costs about 12 kroner, less than $2.50. It took a VERY long time to cook ...
