Hei hei!
Wow, it's been awhile. You can take that as a good sign though. Britta and I have been crazy busy this past week. A good busy though! I know you all are probably sick of hearing this but I can't even begin to explain how much I've been learning at this "norskkurs" (norwegian course). I feel as though I can relatively well forstå (understand) norsk, lese (read) norsk, but still working on the snakker (speaking) part. The hardest part is conversing that's for sure. Other than school us two have been spending time with the Føyen family...Askier, Tone, Robin, Annick, and Stian. Random movie nights, waffle making, and horse drawn buggy rides are always a highlight of my day! Also been hanging out with friends from school. Last week we went hiking in Nordmarka (north woods) and picked blueberries! Our hiking destination was a gorgeous lake which we all went swimming in; AWEmazing!
This past weekend we went to a Holocaust Museum..it was very good. The center itself was one of the coolest parts as it was the house of Vidkun Quisling, the man who betrayed Norway and housed the dreaded Nazis. It presented a lot of information on anti-semitism, WWII, and the events leading up to it. They even had little hand held speakers that you would push in the button and push play so we could hear the text in English! Haha, definitely a new experience in a museum for me. It never gets old to experience a country where English is the SECOND language.
Ja ja! All in all having a fantastisk time here!
Sorry I can't write more but I have to get ready for school now.
Hadet!
Hils fra Norge,
Aanna
