Australian moolah

After shipping the money all over the country before eventually getting them to ME, my bank finally had Australian Dollars for me today. Cool bills! They're the first i have ever seen that have transparent areas.

Extreme Makeover - Shoe Edition

I felt that my old shoes still had some life in them, so I re-laced them with brown laces!

Before:



After:


(that gunk on the tip is snow, i had to go outside and lift something.)

Pre-packed

As i'm writing this, it's 12 hours until i leave Sogndal on the bus to Oslo Airport. I've made everything ready for packing, and only have a few struggler items left on my list, so i'm gonna have to go shopping now.

This is my main luggage, contained in a big bag-on-wheels.




And this is my backpack, which, among other things, contains important items to prevent me from dying of boredom during our 35+ hour journey to Melbourne.

Kidnapped!

Tonight at 18:00 i was shanghaied by my family, and taken out for chinese food. For my goodbye-norway-restaurant-visit i had Filèt of lamb in curry sauce, and applepie with icecream for dessert. Tomorrow its goodbye-taco, and sunday is goodbye-turkey.



I guess monday will be goodbye-leftovers.

Snow

For Christmas we had no snow at all, and this week was actually the first week that we saw any flakes that stayed on the ground, and didn't just melt away. But last night we got all the snow in the world; 40 centimeters in one night, and its still snowing while i'm writing this.



Oooooooo! Exciting! He's talking about the weather!

Last day at work

A couple of hours ago i went out the door at Gilde, were i have worked part-time for the last 4 years, for the last time. Of course, i said i went out that door for the last time 2 years ago too, and here i am.

The Flaming Lamborghinis

This is my favorite sunday/relaxation shirt.




It is actually a team-shirt for a volleyball-team we hade in Kos, Greece, during a schooltrip to celebrate our graduation. We were called "The Flaming Lamborghinis", named after a insane drink we got at a local bar. The drink base was some kind of flammable liqour, which the bartender ignited. You then stuck a straw in the drink, and at the bartenders signal, you sucked. And as you sucked, the BT continued to pour different kinds of liqour into the glas, so you ended up with all these different temperatures and tastes all at once. He topped it of with a bit of cinnamon that sparkled in the flames, and then you were done.

I dont know how many drinks that one drink really contained, but it costed 15 euros and my next stop was vomiting over the pier, so my guess is alot.
