Trip to Trondheim

Last week I was at an on-arrival training at Selbustrand 1 hr ride from TRONDHEIM!
Here in Norway they dont measure distance in meters or kilometers but in hours because even if the city is only 60 km far, it could take one and a half hour to get there because of the mountains and fjords.
Selbustrand is a little village with around 5 houses and a big folkhighschool (the place where we lived during the week). Im so sorry but I forgot to take pictures of the school, but it was pretty cool, with a lot of facilities incl. swimmingpool, billiard etc.
I got a lot of informations about the programs/projects, Evs, Axa insurance, but the most important thing was I met a lot of funny and some less funny people:)

It was a bit strange that we had meals 4 times a day!
Breakfast: 8:00
Lunch: 12:00
Second lunch Dinner: 15:00
Evening meal: 19:00 (19:00 is in the evening???)

Pictures from the week:

This area is prefect for hiking (I know its true for whole Norway) full with a lot of lakes. They are crystal clear and its strange but you can drink from them! I did it as well and it was delicious!

 

Sorry for this picture but I have just this one with the beautiful landscape!

With my flatmates in the mountains!

Trondheim

Of course churches are everywhere
but this one is pretty nice!

Its Trondheim from a tower (restaurant) which is spinning at the top! Its a bit annoying when you try to eat there! I was quite dizzy...
But the view was unique so it was worth the little sickness!!!

Anyway, I really enjoyed the trip!

I start working in this week so...

                      

I WILL BE BACK!!!!

I'm here

Hellllloooo everyone finally I arrived to Stavanger so I'm starting to write my frenetic blog from now!



The city is located at the south of Norway at the coast, so the weather is changing all the time.
So far its sunny and warm but the winter is comming...:)






Im living with three other people from different part of Europe! Jose the Spanish guy, Charlotte the German and Léa the French girl.
Everyone has his/her own room and we share the rest of the house. The livingroom is the central point, we spend most of our time here.

About the city: The people are nice, everybody speaks English, which makes life easier for me.
Everything is made of wood, if not, its covered by wood:)
I had some previous knowledge about the cost of the living but its better than my expectations. The meat, the alcohol and the public transport are expensive but except these three the prices are like in a big European city! So you can get used to it easily!

some examples:

half kilo of white bread: 7 kr

half kilo of whole wheat bread: 25 kr 

(guess which one I usually buy...)

one kilo of chicken breast 100 kr

one beer in a shop: 25 kr

one beer in a bar: 75 kr (or more)

Monthly bus ticket: 650 kr

1 krone = 36 HUF

Usually people drive really slow here. The speed limit in the city is 50 km/h, on the highway its 100 km/h. Though the bus drivers think they are rally drivers and drive the buses like a Porsche...
Another strange thing comparing to Hungary is nobody wants to kill me if I wanna cross the road!They stop their cars and wait until Im at the other part of the road! Really amazing:)

Street art is quite popular here! You can always find some hiding paintings in the city!

Here are some pictures of the city:
