I arrived in Norway approximately one week and one day ago via the famed Danskebåt. I assumed it to be a dinky little ferry boat, but it was really quite luxurious. We didn't want to figure out the bus system by the time we got there because it was about 00.00 and we were tired. So we paid for a taxi and got our first taste of how expensive Norway is. The taxi cost 500 kr. or, about $50 American Dollars. And it only had to drive about 18 kilometers! Anyway, then we set up camp.
The next day we woke up late and went into Kristiansand to explore a bit. The day after that we hung out with Hannah and Stian. I know Hannah from Skogfjorden, and Stian is her boyfriend. They both love metal. So does Josh. I hate metal. Anyway, Josh and Stian had a conversation about bands and proceeded to fall in love.
Monday morning was the day Joshua had to leave, so we woke up at about 5:00 to get him to the city so he could take the airport bus. Needless to say, it was very sad and I cried a lot. I was really homesick that whole day afterwards.
Tuesday went a lot better and Nancy and I learned how to play Risk in Norwegian, and learned crazy words like "erobre" which means "conquer". We made some Risk friends that we've been hanging out with av og til. On Wednesday, Nancy, Elliot and I went into town and hung out with Hannah, Stian and Lee. Elliot goes to folkehøgskole and he is from Madison, Wisconsin. Lee is actually from Minneapolis and I know his sister and his sister's ex-boyfriend from before.
Last night as Nancy and I were walking to Kiwi with some Norskies, we decided that they all needed to try s'mores. No one in Norway knows what s'mores are! So we bought the ingredients that we need, and now we just need to set a time to make a fire and then make s'mores. Vi gleder oss veldig.
