This is when we write funny things about Norway
Which is not to easy. Yes, I write in english now, so that our wonderful foreign friends can understand.
At the airport in Finland I felt terribly uncomfortable by the fact that most people there could understand what I said. So when I was irritated at Shalg and wanted to start a fight, I had to whisper. In China all I had to do was change my tone so I didn't sound angry... The result in Finland was that after some minutes in silence, my anger was gone. Maybe a good thing, I don't know.
So when we landed in Oslo I was already used to the language. The fact is we sat next to a norwegian all the way from Guangzhou. Of course we landed in time to see the start of the sunset, and my eyes were not dry. Even to see signs like " nødutgang"(emergency exit)gave a sting in my heart.
Last summer when we landet, the airport smelled like hotdogs, this year it was pizza.
But you guys left in China can not imagine the fresh air. Even at the train-station the air was fresh.
But our idea of the heavenly kingdom of Norway disappeared when we arrived downtown Oslo. The amount of drugaddicts, prostitutes and romanian beggers is just depressive.
Let's talk about something else.
We have now been apart for two days, and I am starting to miss my husband. Shalg is in Oslo, working at Maxbo, and I am left in Kr.sand looking for a job, and an appartment. Yes, we have decided to live in my hometown, and all you guys in Oslo: Don't blame me, it was Shalg's idea!
He even plans to change his dialect, and was thrilled when he learned a new word in Sørlandsk(the dialect of south-Norway). We were late for the bus to Oslo and had to follow the bus to the next stop by car. My sister told us to "dyt og blink", and I had to explain that she did not mean "dytt og blink" (push and blink the lights), but that "dyt" is a word, and it means "tut"(honk).
We did neither, but caught up with the bus in Lillesand.
