MMXI

 

Another year has passed. A year which was slightly worse than the previous one.

I hope 2011 will be better. I hope I will be happier.

Let’s see which of my last year’s resolutions I stuck to:

  • smoke less (and eventually give up altogether)  Thumbs down
  • find a job Thumbs up/Thumbs down
  • do the TEFL course Thumbs down
  • exercise more and stop being so lazy Thumbs up/Thumbs down
  • move from Glasgow Thumbs up

 

Seeing that I didn’t stick to most of the resolutions I made twelve months ago, I’m going to make the following:

  • smoke less (and eventually give up altogether)
  • find a job
  • exercise even more
  • learn Norwegian

Second hike on Osterøy

The route was quite similar to the one I took the day before, only this time I wanted to see what was there if you took a different turn and to find out what that little house which I’d seen from the window.
I made use of the GPS receiver in my mobile and tracked the whole route for the first time.

Bergen

Today L. took me to Bergen where I took some photos. I had an opportunity to see more of the Norwegian beautiful landscape. I hope I’ll be able to take some more (and nicer) pictures when I go to the city on Monday.

I never thought I’d say this but: thank God for English! When I was in a few shops today, sales assistants asked me if they could help me but since they said it in Norwegian, I didn’t know what they wanted from me. Luckily, as soon as I said ‘sorry I don’t understand’, they switched to English. I know I couldn’t live in a place whose language I had no command of and knowing what it feels like when you’re spoken to and you don’t understand a word is a good motivation to sit down and start learning this crazy tongue.
