Well, it was not a big trip. The university organised a trip to a cabin in the woods for around 50 international students. Just one norwegian guy (the organiser) was with us, and 50 internationals.
We took the subway and then a bus to the studenterhytta.no (Yes, apparently has everything it's own website here). We barely were told that soup would be prepared, 6 volunteers were needed, and the same for the dinner ("norwegian style taco"), afterwards was organised a quiz night, and after breakfast we were supposed to tidy everything up. That was all the plan! So, we immediately walked to the nearby lake, I took a swim (warmer than the Sognsvann!), and then we went back for lunch. The area is just as one imagines Oslo surrounding: forests, from time to time a lake, and basically nothing else in view (and - the knowledge that the subway is not really far away). In the evening, our team won the first three rounds of the quiz night, but the fourth round was basically just giving points to the most drunken people. so - "unfortunately" - we lost. But during the game, we got small prices, and we could choose between chocolate and shots. Guess what I chose. Then we wondered about alcohol and left the party to see stars. At 1 am or so, we went to the Sauna (!) where, again, we wondered about alcohol and not very adult Americans.
That evening, I sent the fifth version of my master thesis to my supervisor ("yeeehh"). Now for homework, socialising and enjoying the sun. If i finish the readings (for last monday) in time, I will take a first look into the fitness centre..
Still didn't really meet many Norwegians so far .. maybe I get lucky in the fitness centre...
