Pictures from Norway!

With my skiing sensei. Yes, now i can go down slopes! Not terribly good, but at least i can brake and not crash into Tellytubbies (my code name for the cute lil Norwegian kids).

At the ski resort.

Yes, i swear the 2degrees in Norway is different from the one in London. I was in 3 layers and freezing my butt off :(

Along the streets of Oslo, where the snow was starting to turn into slush. But still, i think i prefer it to the London drizzle.

The Oslo palace in the background. This street has loads of nice atas cafes, only wished i had more time to check them out.
With Ernie at Carl Johans gate, supposedly the longest shopping street in Norway. I personally prefer Scandinavian fashion abit more :) But its more ex (even more so than London!).

In loads of layers and still freezing.

With my fave travel buddies. This is just in front of the palace looking down at the whole city.
I love the sun and Ernie hates it. What's with Jap girls and looking fair?
Tanned is so much better alright!

Knee Deep Snow.

Loads of pictures in front of the Palace cos it was the only sight we managed to cover.
Basically, we bummed around in the hostel, watched Stuck on You (starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear) and the woke up real late the next morning (meaning 12pm) after the hostel owner banged on our doors saying that we have busted our check out time.
Thereafter, we had a huge lunch, snacked along the way and visited only the palace before heading for dinner.

The palace up front. I dont find it too impressive really ;)

FREIA! The maker of Daim chocs and all the awesome candies and whatnots in Scandinavia.

The Cathedral. Our pseudo 2nd sight. But to be honest, we only really walked past it.
Random shots in front of the palace. As with travelling with Erns and Dj, we spend tonnes of time doing rubbish at 1 sight. Even when it's not that pretty :P

One of my ultimately fave shots. Captured the hyperactive me and demure Erns at our natural state. Of course, with the Levi's bags which will appear in most of our other shots.


So after 1 half days in Oslo, we took a train down to Bergen. 'Cos we booked so last minute (you must remember me complaining about booking wrong tickets some time back), it cost us qte abit this time. It was about 571kroners (57pds maybe?) for a 1 way. And this is student fare :(
But really, Norway is so expensive that i convert it back to pounds and still feel the pinch. I dont even think about converting it back to singdollars.

The lake in Bergen which pretty much divides the small seaside town into a few sections. The tiny shopping section, the tiny fish market, the rail station.
(Or maybe thats about what we saw of the town.)

Norwegian kids are insanely cute!
(So are the guys hehe.)


Our 6quid curry and mayo sandwich. The bread WAS AWESOME. YUMM.
(Price was ouch though.)

The seaside. Or what they claim.

Pictures from the bus ride heading for Voss, where the world famous fjords are, though we ended up in Ogga (or was it Odda- I have no idea).

Basically the bus we were on drove up a boat which brought us through some of the Fjords. It was quite a cool ride really.


Absolutely breathtaking scenery from the ship.
But it was freezing out there :x

And here we are, in the boring town.
Its so bad that when we ask the locals what is there to do, all of them said nothing. Omg.

Possibly the only touristy thing we saw that we could take pictures with.



Though it wasnt a fruitful trip (as in not many sights completed), but still i loved it loads. It was relaxing, fun, had loads of good food and scenery (and eye candies), and its nice travelling with friends like this whom I pretty much have a warped relationship with.
All in all, Im glad my intermodule week was well spent.

Speaking of which, Im heading down to Dublin nxt wkend with Yush and Dj for St Pat's festival! Its a pity i cant be there on 17th March itself cos Im a good girl who will not pon lessons.
Ryanair is having sales now, so you guys (in Europe/ UK) can think of travelling there too.
(PS. London Luton - Dublin for 4 pounds each way!)

And thank youuuu babe for the green pandan cookies, Im having alot of fun with them now ((((: I appreciate the effort and i really think they taste awesome! (Cant get them anywhere else for sure!)

Ok, back to redoing my essay darn it :x Such is the life of a medic.
