Another visit
Wednesday evening, I brought Natascha and Marvin to the bus station and on Thursday evening, I went there again to pick up Silke and Woppi. This time, I thought, everything would go smoothliy, as I finally remembered the way (last time I drove around Oslo for 45 minutes without finding the parking at Central station - damn all the one-way-streets and traffic chaos in Oslo!) - however, I had to find out that the only route I knew was closed due to street construction... Aaaaahhhh! Again, I started off into the maze of one-way-streets and roundabouts, but amazingly, I somehow managed to take the right turn at the right time and there i was at the bus station. Uff...
On friday night, I took them out to the famous meat-market in Oslo: Onkel Donald (not related to the other famous meat-place Mc Donald, though). I hope they enjoyed it despite the high alcohol prices and deafening music volume. Luckily enough, we had a nice vorspiel at home and were drunk enough to throw ourselves into a Norwegian party night. After Onkel Donald, we went to the Beer Palace, where Jens learnt that drinking with Germans is not an easy task and definitely a win-loose situation (where the latter stands for Norwegians, sorry...) However, we had a very amusing way home with a rather drunk Norwegian entertainer :-)
Saturday, we had been invited to a Serbian-Norwegian Christmas party. This, again, was quite a culturally enlightening eveing for my German friends. We all know that Feuerzangenbowle (which I prepared that evening) is quite strong alcohol, but none of us had expected that it would drive some Norwegians to drink the rest of the "good old Pott Rum" straight out of the bottle... Iiiihhh. In the end, one of the guys spent quite a long time next to the sink drinking one glass of water after the other, though...
I wish I knew how to post videos here, cause the dancing that was going on after everyone had had more than enough, was award-winning!
Before I sent Silke and Woppi off to going skiing in Hemsedal, I showed them the end of the world and we had great British stew for dinner (thanks Cecilia!).
As you can all imagine, after this exhausting weekend, the next week of working was more than hard... God, am i looking forward to the holidays!!!!!!
