Holidays

So my holidays officially started last week!! Though I am now leftt with a lot of free time, so I am on a quest to fill as much of it as possible :) So far I haven't done much too exciting, just normal stuff. Though in 5 days i'm heading off to Denmark for a week. I'm sure it will be fun but another family with twin 2 years is coming with us.... so hopefully it won't be too bad.

Though I thought I would write about going out here. This is what my friend said and I think it perfectly describes it "We'll go to their house and get drunk enough to go out on the town" and that is what happened. They have to do this because if you were to buy your alcohol in town you would be very broke, I think they said something like it's $12 for a glass of beer! Other then that I think it is pretty much the same. Though I live in a small town and there are only two places to go and one of them is so dodgy and creepy feeling. So really it only leaves you with one.

On the weekend the sun also turned and on this night there is usually a big bonfire to mark it, but seeing as though it was raining all that day I don't think many bonfires happened. So now the sun has turned it means that the sun will start to be normal again. Even though I'm here whilst it slowly has changed I have never gotten used to it. I guess I'm so accustomed to the Australia sun that by brain freaks out. But anywayz I think the latest the sun set was at 10:30pm which means that it didn't get pitch dark until after 12. It also was rising at 4:30 or something ( I dunno cuz there is no way I would get out of bed early enough to know :p).

Also there is a festival that happens on a Island in my town and it brings many people as I was shocked to find out this morning. I went into town to go to the gym and BAM there was so many people everywhere, also I thought was quite a good way to earn money. The gym lets the people from the festival use their showers for 100kr (about $20), steep I know, but this is Norway. So once again I got shocked as I walked into the changing room and it was packed full of people (it usually only has 4 or 5). So the festival has definitely brought many people.

Unfortunately (or not) my gym is closing on August first so after that I will have to make sure I exercise otherwise I will become a fat lump full of Norwegian chocolate, definitely in the winter. Even though I don't really go to the gym that often (I do try i'm just so damn lazy).
