2013.08.15 - First days in Oslo II

Food's expensive. In the course of these first days, I was already shown a cheap vegetable/asia/strange-stuff market in the immigrants quarter of Oslo (Grønland). Normal prices do make happy!
This week basically consists of two official things.
1. registration at the university, bureaucratic stuff as it necessary for every semester. It is pretty organised, everybody is helpful and on 15Jul, my courses were registered. It's gonna be a 20 ECTS language learning course and a 10 ECTS intro on celtic/old norwegian stuff.
2. Buddy week. Heaps of people in red t-shirts everywhere, on average two buddies for 20 people. Lots of international people. Lots of Germans. Germans everywhere. Games, funny games and get-to-know-each-other-stuff. Parties every day - the university is organising an own student festival with tents, music and so on.
I already found out my way to go to parties.
step 1. leave water bottles at home
step 2. join people who go to a free pub/location
step 3. have your ID and bag checked; water bottles have to be thrown away.
step 4. don't drink anything, it's too expensive.
step 5. have a good and cheap evening

Another annoying thing is my master's thesis. I do progress not as quickly as expected .. but I know I will be quiiite happy when it'll be done.
so happy.

So long, I will let you know when something exiting happens.
