    Artsy Oslo

    I’ve always wondered what I’m missing out on while studying distance and living in Bangkok. Crazy  partying, interacting with other students in real life, and just living my life like student in Oslo. I have a couple of yearly seminars I need to attend to be able to take my exams and in these brief moments I do catch a glimse of the world outside my world and I’m happy I’m living in Thailand.  Living like a student in Norway is though, in most cases (in big cities that is) you’re most likely going to need to find a room mate. Gosh, you might even have to share with several of other people. I think I would crack already there. We’re talking small apartments and in most cases sharing with someone you don’t know. There’s also the cold weather in the winter which somehow makes me depressed. I almost get anxiety walking around during winter times. I’m not talking Christmas times and snow because I looove that! All in all I do miss my friends and family a lot and always wish I could stay longer at home, but then I think about when I used to live at home and was longing to go somewhere else. Conclusion; I’m gonna stick around in Bangkok for a while!

    Sunny days on the countryside

    I’ve been staying at my aunt’s place during my days in Oslo. It’s been so nice and sunny! I haven’t had much time to enjoy the outside as I’ve been stuck in the city for school, but Sunday’s off so today has been filled with long walks and picking fresh blueberries. I’ve even gone running…twice! I’ve had such a lovely time here in Maura. Tomorrow I’m flying off to Levanger to see the rest of the family. Good times! -A

    Back to reality

    My bags are packed and I’m off to Norway for two weeks. I’ll be spending the first weekend in Oslo for school and visiting relatives, then straight to my childhood home to see the fam. The house was empty when we visited this summer so I’m super excited to be going home this time.

    Yay to home cooked meals, studies and long movie nights at home, it will be a nice break from the big city life. I’ll miss my baby Tom and frenchie Diego though… but somehow I think they’ll manage just fine. There’s always skype… AND Mc delivery 24 hours.

    I shouldn’t have thought of that… I might skip the cinema and order… I haven’t had cheese dip for months!

    Celebrating 17th of May in Bangkok

    We got to celebrate 17th of May this year around too. We started the day with marching in the parade at the Norwegian ambassador’s garden, followed by hotdogs and ice cream just like back home. I was surprised that there are so many Norwegians living here permanently. It obviously wasn’t the same as back home but definitely as good as I had been hoping for. The 17th of May committee had put so much work into the event!

    For the adults there was a gala dinner at the Sheraton Grande in Asoke where we had some drinks and Norwegian food. Of course Norwegian salmon was on the menu this year as well… when are they gonna pick up the “Sodd” tradition from my part of the country?

    Sorry for the bad picture quality, I only brought my phone out…

    Hello tan and beach activites, hello KRABI!

    I’m turning 24 the end of this month so we’re off to Krabi to climb, tan and drink coconuts next to the monkies. I haven’t been there since February 2014 so I’m extremely excited for this trip. We’re only going two days as we booked this trip pretty spontaneously and didn’t really think about taking any time off work. But two days in Krabi?! I’ll take whatever I can get! We’re looking at hotels online, and I think we’re aiming for something nice, tho… we really won’t be spending any time in the hotel room.

    Off to Virgin now to use our 7 day pass that we got from the Under Armour challenge, hopefully I can get some kind of beach body by the 28th… 17 days to go!
