Before and after

We are now finally starting to realize that we are actually here. Today was my first day at "Work" and it was actually not as bad as it could be. The Internet connection here is very slow, but it's OK for the 3 days that i will be using this Internet Café. I have had several phone-conversations using my Telio ip-phone (+47) 852 10 855. To Norway (and probably all other locations as well), there is a 500 milliseconds delay, but i think that will be better when we move into the apartment at Christmas eve.

Some of the other things that has happened:
  • We went to a party on Friday at Wendy's house. At about 11.45PM the squatter-camp close by started burning. No-one was injured, but the fire was pretty big and several shacks must have burnt up. That was not a very happy moment, so Anne and I decided to go home. Luckily Wendy's dad drove us home, so we didn't have to take a taxi or hike.
  • On Sunday we went to the beach and stayed there pretty much all day. Later that day we ate a HUGE meal and when we woke up today, I was still full.
At this very moment, Anne is in Kensington, fetching our newly bought car. I still haven't seen it, but I hope the deal will not fall through like it did the last time. Can't wait to get it, because the public transport here is really bad (or non existing???).

Oh, and one more thing: Last night, for desert, we ate at at place called "Sinful". They served one of the best ice-creams i have EVER tasted. It was so good, but later that night we both regret it, because we got so full we could hardly walk.
