Kickin' it with the Homies

I need to buy a ticket to China soon.

I'll be studying at Beijing University from July 'til December.

Bah.


Meanwhile I need to learn enough Chinese to survive:

At the language lab

Heidi 'loves' being my
partner
(in crime)

Lorraine

Lotte and I are the only ones
planning on going to China next semester
(out of the gang who studied Japanese who's now taking Chinese)

Say what??
The teacher caught me swearing into the
earphones today.
I tell you, it aint easy to
say many of the tounge twisters
in our Chinese dialogues

Heidi being über-genki

Asaki, the midget

Correction:
Asaki and Dag - the midgets

At every street corner in Oslo
at this time of year
they've got big signs
warning about
blocks of ice sliding off the roofs

But they don't give any alternative

Where am I supposed to walk?
In the middle of the busy street?

Last winter a young guy walking on the side walk
with his girlfriend got hit in the head
by a block of ice sliding of the roof
He's paralyzed and has permanent
brain damage

Anyway.

Since we're poor students, we went to this hoo-haa café called Pascal for some macaroons.





I had two and a half of them and felt neusious for the rest of the day. Won't be having macaroons again any time soon, that's for sure.

Hmm..

How do I do this again

Ehr

You can take a black belt out of TaeKwon-Do class
but you can't take the TaeKwon-Do
out of the black belt

(Please let the winter be over soon, I'm cold)

Reunited with Wictoria & Back to School

Yeah.

Back at school and back to the self-inflicted pain.

No, studying Chinese is fun, fun, fun.

Unfortunately both Cat and Benedicte have dropped out, so now there's only me and...


.. Lotte!

(And Benj.)







After school yesterday I went to Benedicte's house for a grand fiesta, catching up with Wictoria who's been on a short trip back to Norway to celebrate Christmas before returning back to her studies in Japan.

Benedicte

Wictoria

Me and Asaki

Comparing belly buttons?

Then Miina got a little eager

Then it all went overboard

Look, look, look!:


He's still hanging in there. Credits to you, my love.


This morning..

*drum roll*

I went to school.

And spent a few hours couped up inside.




And then school was over and I had to go back outside, which I'd rather not at this time of year.

I'm cold!!

Benj and I on our merry way to the cafeteria

We made sure to find a seat next to the radiator

Lilly

The cafeteria guy on campus said I'd gotten skinny
and then slapped some more food on my plate

Asakiii
