Wow, it's been a while since I have written for this blog. This is a quick update about what is going on in my life now.

<br />
So I have finally gotten around to writing about my not-so-recent trip to Bergen, Norway. I have been meaning to write a new blog post about it and have been reminded multiple times by people that I need to write again, so here I am.<br />
<br />
During winter vacation I joined my host grandfather and host uncle on a road trip across southern Norway and the final destination was Bergen. The trip from Halden took about ten or eleven hours of driving before arriving at the place we would be staying for the duration of the trip.<br />
<br />
<b>Day One</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We started driving around 8 or 9 if I remember right. During the trip we stopped multiple times to take photos or stop to get something to eat. We finally arrived in Bergen when the sun had set and it was night time.<br />
<br />
Some photos from the drive:<br />

<br />
The last weekend has been filled with wonderful people, cold weather and a ski trip! This last weekend we attended the AFS Mid-Year Stay Camp (Midtårsopphold) and met with all of the other exchange students in Region One again. This camp marks the halfway point of the year, so essentially it is a camp of mixed feelings. You begin to think about thinks like "I'll be back in my home country in like 5 months." and depending on the person, that can be a good or bad thing. Maybe even both?<br />
<br />
I miss the United States a lot, but realizing that I only have five months of my life in Norway can be depressing at times and for those exchange students who are reading this, just make the most out of those five months. The next AFS camp is the end of the year camp in June, which I'm sure will be full of mixed emotions.<br />
<br />
Now on to Midtårsopphold!<br />

I went to school today, but only for a few hours. Thankfully my host mother came to my school to pick me up and brought my luggage and ski's along with. Then I met Time at the train station before our train left from Halden to Oslo.<br />
<br />
When we arrived in Oslo, after the train picked up the other students in my local chapter (AFS Østfold #Represent) I of course had to get my Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks, duhhh. At Oslo Sentralstasjon, we met the other students that needed to take the train from Oslo to Hamar, and then we took the train from Oslo to Hamar... selvføgelig :P<br />

Waking up at 8am wasn't my original plan, but I guess it had to be. Take a hot shower, get ready and breakfast at 9... (The staff came around about every 15-20 minutes to re-wake us up after 8:00 haha)</div>

There were these, well, interesting 'energizer' games we played and around noon I believe is when we started our ski trip. We could choose between a shorter trip or a longer trip, the short trip being a few kilometers and the longer one supposedly being between 5 and 10 kilometers. The AFS volunteers suggested that the ones who have gone Cross Country Skiing at least twice before should take the long trip, otherwise should take the short trip. But, if you know me, you know I was thinking YOLO. (I haven't been twice before, oops!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needless to say, I fell down in a few different ways. Namely the one time where I was going too fast downhill (saying Wohoo!), seeing the other AFS students on the road to the left of me and realizing, "Oh, I didn't think this turning part out... crap." and ended up going on the road straight ahead, trying to stop and failing miserably ending up in a, what felt to me like a face plant, haha. Yolo right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, the trip turned out to be somewhere between 16 and 20 kilometers (Between 10 and 12 miles), because we were led onto a path that took quite a bit longer than expected... but I don't and will never regret taking it. The view was breathtaking and we did it together.</div>

We ended up getting back to the leirskole quite later than expected, and we received our mini Kvikk Lunsj chocolates (of course) to regain some calories. I put my ski's away and took an warm and refreshing shower after.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We then had group time and some free time. They even have a disco ball! The evening was full of sitting around tables and talking, listening to music and occasionally getting up and some fun and funny :) dancing!</div>
<div>

<div>
Sadly, this was the last night of the camp though.</div>

We woke up. (8:00 again) and went through the morning ritual. After breakfast we spent the rest of the time we had together cleaning the rooms, in our small groups, doing some energizers and spent about an hour of free time together before we left on the bus.</div>

After packing everything and finding our seats on the bus (and me forgetting my camera and ski shoes, luckily as I'm going out of the bus to run inside and get them, someone is bringing them out!), we took about 2.5 hours to go down the mountain to Hamar train station. The bus ride was mainly listening to good music, playing cards, eating candy, enjoying the view and just spending time with each other. (Also searching for any moose that might be near the road!)</div>

Well, we arrived safely in Hamar and got on our train. The train was full with people though, so most of us ended standing for the two hours from Hamar to Oslo Sentralstasjon. Again, I got Starbucks :P and after spending time with a friend, made it to my Oslo-Halden train with about 5 minutes before it left, yep! </div>

<br />
This post is for anyone who is looking to become an exchange student, is an exchange student or just anyone who loves to experience the spectacular world around them. I've compiled a list of 10 ways that studying abroad can change you, and hopefully it encourages more people to take the leap into an amazing adventure.<br />
<br />
<b>1. You learn that bravery isn't the half of it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Whether you're boarding the plane to go or just living in your host country it can be common to hear people saying how brave you are for going on exchange. While it definitely takes a degree of courage to get on that plane in the first place and leave your comfortable and familiar life behind to make a new life, bravery is only like 1/5 of the equation. The rest is the need to travel and the need to experience a new culture. That's the other 4/5 of it. You really have to want it with your whole heart.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>2. Your confidence level soars.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Leaving your comfort zone, leaving your family and friends back in your home country and having to adapt to a completely new culture and completely new way of life makes your confidence go through the roof. At first, you're a little shy but when you learn the language, learn the culture and learn how to live in the host country you'll be more confident than ever because you <i>have</i> to meet new people, you <i>have</i> to ask for help and you <i>have</i> to grow in order to survive.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>3. Normal does not exist.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
What you think is normal can be completely different than what is normal in another culture. When you go abroad, you learn what is normal in your host country. You learn to realize that normal isn't really even a thing. Every culture is unique, every person is unique. No one is normal, we only think that things are normal because they are familiar to you. What is familiar to you though, is not familiar to another person.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>4. You get the travel bug, and you'll never be the same.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Once you get a taste of traveling and immersing yourself into a new culture, you'll never go back. You'll always have the urge to get out of your comfort zone, the urge to dive right into a culture that is unusual to you, to walk in someone else's shoes and survive. There's no getting rid of it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>5. You find things that tourists don't.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Yes, there is a difference between being a tourist and being a traveler. A tourist spends a week or two in a city seeing the sights while a traveler immerses themselves into new cultures and learns what it's like to be a member of that culture. They stay more than a few weeks and see things that tourists do not. They see how people go about daily life and they learn the culture and beliefs of that country. They are observers. When you study abroad, you find things in your host city that normal tourists wouldn't find. That nice coffee shop on the corner that serves <i>the best </i>americano or the shop owner just trying to make ends meet.<br />
<br />
You learn to see a country by it's people and not by it's representatives like we so often do.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>6. Your personality will change.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Sure you seem the same on the outside, but inside you change so much. Learning to be independent, building the courage required to survive in difficult situations and learning the beliefs of another culture. You're beliefs will most likely change while abroad, you'll see the world in a different light and you'll have more patience and tolerance for the people around you.<br />

<b>7. Studying abroad makes you smarter.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You learn to be flexible, you learn to adapt and you learn to become a new person. Essentially when you're on exchange, you're building a new life from scratch. No one knows you from before, everyone you meet is new. Studying abroad makes you a better problem solver and makes you more creative, studies show.<br />

<b>8. You appreciate what you have.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
After being away for a year, you appreciate the days you have with your family and friends. Even during the year, the limited time you have with these friends in your host country is valuable to you. That passes over when you return home. You learn that it's better to spend money on experiences rather than objects. Items will break eventually and leave your life whereas experiences will be with you forever.<br />

<b>9. Your expectations of a place completely change.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
For example, before I came to Norway I had many different expectations. Of course, before I came I researched a little bit, so I knew that it was an expensive and safe country, but I still believed that the Norwegian people were cold, they were different than most people I knew from the USA and I thought that everywhere in Norway had a lot of snow all the time during the winter. Well when I arrived here, I realized that when you get to know a Norwegian, they can be very caring people... even more than some Americans. They're not so different than people I know in the US. Where I live in Norway, we barely had snow... right now there isn't snow on the ground and it was raining yesterday...<br />

<b>10. Life is too short not to live.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Most people think that they'll get a job, make enough money so they can enjoy life when they're older. I don't know how anyone believes that's the way to live life, because it isn't... Sure, try to get a steady income and try to keep your head above water. Basically what I'm trying to say is do what you love to do instead of doing work you dislike. Live your life.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of it is true, which is why I encourage everyone to study abroad. When you first tell people you're going to study abroad, some people will tell you "You're going to miss a year of your life if you go." That isn't true, you don't miss a year in your life, you gain a life in a year.</div>

The last month has definitely been a hectic one, and I am just now getting around to typing up a new blog post about it.</div>

<div>
<b>A Norwegian Christmas (Norsk Jul)</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
While a Christmas in Norwegian isn't completely different from a Christmas in the United States. However, there are a few things that stand out. First, they celebrate three days of Christmas. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Second Christmas Day. Norwegians have a certain menu when they celebrate and it typically involves Ribbe, Medisterkake, Pinnekjøtt, Julepølse, Surkål, Kransekake, Krumkake and much much more.</div>

There's also something like a week or two before Christmas called 'Julebord' literally translates to 'Christmas Table'. It's a christmas buffet, with all of the Christmas food and you're supposed to dress up nice for the occasion. This year we attended a Julebord with my host fathers family at a fancy hotel in Halden. All in all, it was a very nice Christmas.</div>

For New Years we attended a get together at my host grandparents house. Typically Turkey is eaten along with potatoes, gravy, etc. My host family bought some of that delicious canned cranberry sauce when we were in Sweden buying some American food at Nordby. I got up and made homemade stuffing to eat as well. It was nice to eat a lot of the same foods we eat on Thanksgiving because this year I didn't get to celebrate that glorious eat-everything-you-possibly-can holiday.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently I was invited to join AFS Romerike on their ski trip up north a little ways about an hour from Brumunddal. The snow was crazy and we stayed in a group of cabins. The cabins did not have electricity, running water or wifi! So we boiled the snow to make the water that we needed to cook with and to make tea and/or instant coffee with. It was such a fun trip. It was good to hangout with the other exchange students and learn to ski together. I can say I fell over many many times.</div>

Yes, they have three days of Christmas here... Julaften (Christmas Eve), Første Juledag and Andre Juledag (First and Second Christmas Day).<br />
<br />
I just finished reading a travel book about Norway and it has inspired me to put together a list for you of 10 places I have not been yet, but would like to visit sometime whether that be during my exchange year here or when I come back to visit later in life.<br />
<br />
<b>Place #1 - Jotunheimen</b><br />

Jotunheimen is a national park with some of the highest mountains in all of Norway.<br />

We had a christmas buffet (which is very common here in Norway) where members of my host father's family attended and we ate a bunch of traditional Norwegian Christmas food. (Pinnekjøtt, Ribbe and Julepølse for a few examples). It was some very delicious food.</div>

Another time, we visited my host grandparent's house (They are hosting Time, you know Time), and we made a bunch of gingerbread cookies! (And ate a few too :P) It was pretty fun, we got to decorate a few afterwards too with frosting (and eat those too...). Afterwards we all ate supper together and it was a pretty cool day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this last weekend I had the awesome opportunity to go to Oslo for the weekend. I stayed in Drøbak (about 50 min. south of Oslo) with Fernando and his host family. That was cool because although I got to experience Oslo a little more, I also got to experience staying in another small Norwegian town as well. </div>

I had school today, and when I was finished with my Theater Ensemble exam, I quickly hopped on the bus and headed for the train station. Luckily, I had an hour before my train left Halden, so I quickly grabbed a cheeseburger (of course!). The train ride took about two hours to get to Oslo Sentralstasjon where I met my best friend, Starbucks. (#GingerbreadLatteAllTheWay)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Afterwards, I met Fernando and we walked into town. Not thinking, I packed my stuff into a small rolling suitcase (instead of a backpack), and had to drag it around on cobblestone roads... That was interesting... We took a small trip to the Christmas Market on Karl Johans Gate, got some roasted almonds and headed for the Drøbak bus.</div>

Woke up, got ready and I took the bus (with my roller suitcase...) to Oslo. Said 'Ha Det Bra' to Fernando and hopped on the bus at 11. I then arrived to greet Time and Ai who live in Østfold with me in Oslo Sentralstasjon for a day on the town! First thing, I got starbucks. Second thing, we went to the Julemarked (Christmas Market) and met Jessica from 'murica and her Norwegian friend who did exchange in Ohio!</div>

<b>Exactly Four Months In Norway</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, today marks exactly four months in Norway. I came to this wonderful country on August 22. The time, in my opinion, has gone by way too fast. I think that's a unanimous thought among the other exchange students across Norway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are so many wonderful people I have met so far this year that I know, when the year is up, will be extremely difficult to leave. I have told some people I've been here for four months and they say, "Only four months. That's not so long." I say, "<i>Only </i>four months? <i style="font-weight: bold;">Already </i>four months!". The bond that exchange students share is something that only exchange students or people who have been exchange students can truly understand. Everyone goes through the same problems at essentially the same time as you. Everyone understands.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For my exchange student friends (more like family) here in Norway, I'm so grateful for all of you. You guys are seriously the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, that's been my month. Hope you enjoyed it :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks,</div>

It was a fun trip, the landscape was beautiful and it was great to see the sun for the first time in a long time as well as finally get some snow. Although back in my host-town, there was rain and still no snow. But that concludes my blog post about Lillehammer!</div>

Once with my school and once with my local chapter of AFS.<br />
<br />
I was also lucky enough to get the day before the Oslo trip off from school! They had a teacher's day or something, I think.<br />

During the trip with school, we got a nice tour of Bårdar, a performing arts school. We also got a tour of 'Det Norske Teater' (The Norwegian Theater). We had some free time for lunch, I ate a Max Burger (A Swedish burger company) with Oliver. They took us to a very, well, <i>interesting </i>museum. At the end of the night we went to see 'Spelemann på taket' (Fiddler on the Roof). It was in Nynorsk (Not the type of Norwegian that I am learning... I am learning Bokmål). So that was interesting, and then a nearly two hour bus ride back to Halden.</div>

After walking for a bit, I asked Paul what the time was... it was 4:40 (I had to be back at Sentralstasjon around 4:45, my train left at 5:02) We walked quickly to the train station (I made it there around 4:55), said goodbye and I made it onto my train along with the rest of AFS Østfold!</div>

<br />
So, I finally get around to writing this post! This last Saturday, a bunch of exchange students from Region 1 met in Oslo. Although I had seen them just the weekend before at Ankomstleir del To, it was great to see them again.<br />
<br />
My day started at my local contact's house, where I had spent the night Friday night. After getting ready for my day ahead and making sure I had everything I needed, my local contact was kind enough to drive me to the train station to catch the 10:05 train to Oslo Sentralstasjon. Well, turns out the train was not working in Halden! So luckily, a man ran up to Time and I and told us the bus to catch the Oslo train was about to leave! Phew, that was close. We met the train in Fredrikstad and took it from there for about an hour and a half to Oslo.<br />
<br />
When we arrived at Sentralstasjon, we were greeted by a group of AFS students, and I was greeted by the wonderful smell of STARBUCKS! Of course, not having starbucks for almost 3 months really got to me, so the first thing I did in Oslo was buy a Caramel Macchiato, they didn't have French Vanilla or Hazelnut :(<br />

After waiting a little bit for the rest of the AFS students, we departed from the train station. First thing we decided to do was to walk to the Oslo Opera House. It was a beautifully designed structure and well, I'll let the pictures do the talking.<br />

What a fun time, gorgeous weather, beautiful sun and great people! After visiting the Opera House we then traveled down the walking street to the royal palace of the current King Harald V. It was a very nice palace. While we were at the palace we ran into Francesca from Region 2 who we hadn't seen in nearly 2 1/2 months since Arrival Camp Part One! That was cool!</div>

After we'd finished with our travel to the palace, we walked around for a while attempting to find a kebab place, but ended up splitting and eating at different places. I ate an individual pizza at Wayne's Coffee and Riccardo came to meet us there. Then, we took the tram to the sculpture park called Vigelandsparken. Myself, Sophie and Anne waited for Paul, Henri, Fernando, Alexis and Camille at the train station to join us at the park.<br />

<br />
Long time no see, I apologize for that. The last few weeks have been full of fantastic experiences and great people! I have much to tell. I guess I should start at the beginning, with Ankomstleir Region 1 (Arrival Camp Region One).<br />
<br />
<b>-Thursday October 16, 2014-</b><br />
After school, Time (Thai exchange student in Halden) and I met at the train station to begin our journey to Vestby, Norway. The camp was held at a place just a short bus trip from the town.<br />
<br />
An interesting story...<br />
<br />
Taneli (From Finland) and I were also on the train and as everyone was getting off, I had forgotten my sleeping bag and umbrella on the train. Taneli reminds me that it's on, and then the doors close... I continuously press open, but the doors will not open. Oh crap.<br />
<br />
We continued until the next town called Ås (like 5-10 minutes by train) and had to wait 40 minutes for the next train back to Vestby. Luckily we found a REMA 1000 and bought some candy as well as a coffee shop where I got more excited than I should have. I bought a latte :). We caught the train back and turns out, the bus was late as well, so all of the other students were there and it was cool to see them all again.<br />
<br />
I had expected a small car or something to take us to the camp, but instead I got the whole family!<br />
<br />

<br />
Most of the evening was full of everyone in Region 1 catching up with how everyone's year has been thus far, and also waiting for the food to arrive! We ate some kind of American stew that tasted very good.<br />
<br />
<b>-Friday and Saturday October 17th and 18th, 2014-</b><br />
I got somewhat of a good rest that night. The heating wasn't working, and it had just snowed outside... So yeah. Luckily, they had showers. I managed to take a nice shower (the temperature took a little bit to control, but I got it eventually.). Breakfast was typical. Brødskive (Bread with toppings of some kind of spread, some kind of meat, possibly cheese, etc.).<br />
<br />
The day consisted of classes, reviewing the rules and stuff. We had a decent amount of free time to hangout with friends which was awesome. We did some other things and whatnot. The days always seem to blend together when you're having fun.<br />
<br />
I can remember that I played an awesome game of cards and won 21 kroner (That's between $3-4 I think.) and Paul from Germany won 1 kroner. It was fun.<br />
<br />
I also remember everyone hanging out Saturday evening in this old white house, for a long time... I thought it was fun to just hangout and not have more classes, rules, etc. and to just chill with your friends. I left the party around 2am, but I heard there were people there until 5am!!! I needed some sleep.<br />
<br />
We ate bread, a lot. Breakfast and lunch usually consisted of Brødskive...<br />
<br />
<b>-Sunday October 19th, 2014-</b><br />
The last day of camp. I showered, got ready, ate breakfast, etc. Then, the announcements for clean-up duty came (Dun dun dun).<br />
<br />
They began listing groups of people to clean the rooms (cue suspenseful music). I was not one of them.<br />
<br />
Then came the news for who will be cleaning... THE BATHROOMS *shriek.<br />
<br />
They called my group... They also chose four other people who were not in my group to assist in cleaning the bathrooms... Two of them were sitting next to me. "This was not random, they hate us." Oh, good times, good times.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after we finished cleaning, it was time to pack up and go <span style="background-color: white; color: #121213; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">😭</span><br />

Side note: I swam in the Oslo-fjord after dark, while it was raining, and below 8 degrees out (Celsius), It was windy and the waves were powerful. The water was FREEZING. I believe we stayed in for about 5 minutes maybe? Too cold to keep count. As soon as we got out, we go to the warm showers. Anyway, that was fun.<br />

<br />
Well, it's been busy the last week or so. I've been lobster fishing, playing sports, eating pizza and going to a second cabin in Sweden to hangout with other exchange students in my area. It was a very fun høstferie.<br />
<br />
<br />
First, I went lobster fishing with my local contact at their cabin in Koster, Sweden. We were there from Tuesday until Thursday. We caught 5 lobster and 5 crab the first day with 10 traps. The seas were kind of rough and it was a little chilly out with a lot of clouds (on the second day). Allow the pictures to speak for themselves!<br />

Also, a few other things I did which unfortunately I don't have pictures to post were playing badminton in Fredrikstad as well as football (American Translation: Soccer), Basketball and something similar to floor hockey only with a ball. We then ate Grandiosa (I believe the most popular frozen pizza in Norway.) and afterwords I had organized for the other exchange students to come meet at Peppes Pizza to just chill for a bit and eat some good pizza. Good, expensive pizza! (I have a picture for that.)</div>

On Saturday, we left for Ed in Sweden to stay with one of the student's local contact in their summer house overnight. It was pretty fun. We all brought snacks to it, and there were a lot. I had made a coffee cake and some candied nuts a couple nights before to bring. We snacked for a while Saturday evening, talked for hours. We ate tacos, went on a walk around the water and roasted marshmallows. We totally got to bed "On Time"...</div>

In the morning, all of us ate breakfast, went to a moose ranch that wasn't open and tried to see moose through the fence and then we talked for a while until it was time to go. We helped out around the house too. Raking leaves, making food, cleaning up dinner and vacuuming. </div>

<i><br /></i>
<b>1. How tall are you? </b>Well I remember being 5'9" in my freshman year of high school, now I'm in my Junior year so probably somewhere between 5'9" and 6'0" (175 and 182 cm).<br />
<br />
<b>2. Any tattoos? </b>Nei<br />
<br />
<b>3. Any piercings? </b>No<br />
<br />
<b>4. Natural hair color? </b>Blonde<br />
<br />
<b>5. Last show you watched? </b>If we're talking TV shows, I am currently watching Alt for Norge. If we're talking movies, Good Will Hunting.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Favorite bands? </b>For bands it'd have to be Mumford and Sons, Karpe Diem, Kaizers Orchestra and Coldplay.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Favorite song? </b>Salsa Tequila by Anders Nilson (OF COURSE, HELLOOOOO?)<br />
<br />
<b>8. Something you muss? </b>Driving, definitely driving. Oh and Starbucks. #Selfie<br />
<br />
<b>9. Zodiac sign? </b>Pisces<br />
<br />
<b>10. Birthstone? </b>Aquamarine<br />
<br />
<b>11. Nickname? </b>I don't really have one, I mean people used to call me by my last name and my Grandma called me Pumpkin when I was a toddler, but I don't think that really applies much anymore.<br />
<br />
<b>12. Favorite movie? </b>How can you ask that, especially to me? TOO MANY CHOICES! But it'd be between Mean Girls (I watched that with my grandmother!!!), The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, Forrest Gump and basically any horror film (typically I enjoy them all). HOW CAN YOU ASK ME THAT? So hard, I usually like most movies I watch and rarely do I dislike a movie.<br />
<br />
<b>13. Favorite actor/actress? </b>Robin Williams hands down. He's been my favorite since I was very young.<br />
<br />
<b>14. Favorite color? </b>Blue<br />
<br />

<br />
I apologize for the radio silence and am here now to break that silence with a new blog post about my trip to Poland. You might be thinking, why was he in Poland, I thought he was doing an exchange year to Norway? Well, this blog post is here for you, to answer your questions.<br />
<br />
First off, originally I thought I was going to Poland for a football game (soccer), but apparently I misheard the Norwegian my host parents were speaking and thought that we were going to watch soccer. I realized when I arrived, I was wrong. It was not for soccer, but just for a nice vacation to Gdansk, Poland where they'd never gone before and when I heard about it, I quickly bought a plane ticket as well. Now here is my log of the 5 days I spent there.<br />
<br />
Day One (Friday September 12, 2014):<br />
<br />
HALDEN. We woke up very early in the morning on Friday to get ready to make the drive to Oslo-Gardermoen airport. As we arrived, it was pouring rain. So, we waited for the shuttle to take us inside instead of hauling our many bags (10 to be exact) to the terminal. Getting inside the terminal, it was as nice as I remember it (from my arrival in Norway). We ate a quick brunch before our flight and took off.<br />
<br />
GDANSK. Arriving in Gdansk, we were still waiting for my host-grandparents and host-aunt to arrive on their flight. Soon after we arrived though, they did as well. A taxi was waiting for us at the airport and we were driven to our hotel suite across the river from the Old Town. The view from my host-grandparents and host aunt's suite was very very nice (As you see below):<br />

After settling in, we visited the Old Town to have a look around the place. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :)<br />

Some other things we did was eat a lot of ice cream, pay the same price for water as beer, I bought some Christmas gifts for my family, we visited another memorial and there was a party going on next to my room in the apartment and they decided to start shooting fireworks off of the roof of the building (in the middle of the city) in the middle of the night... Anyway, this post is getting rather long, I apologize if your brain hurts from too many words and thinks.</div>

<br />
I just wanted to take some time to give a shoutout to the other exchange students who are blogging their year in Norway. It's great that they're doing this, because when I decided to come to Norway, I just read a large amount of blogs and that's probably one of the reasons I made it official to do an exchange year to Norway and I hope it does the same for their readers as well.<br />
<br />
Jessica is an exchange student from the United States of America and is living in Oslo, the capital of Norway. http://sanfranoslo.tumblr.com<br />
<br />
Ilanne is an exchange student from France and I'm not sure where she's been placed. http://ilannenorway.blogspot.no<br />
<br />
Kenza is also an exchange student from France. Either in or near Trondheim I believe. http://ilannenorway.blogspot.no<br />
<br />
Polte is from Belgium and I believe he is in Stokmarknes. http://polteinnoorwegen.gaatverweg.nl<br />
<br />
Danielle is from the United States of America and is in the Lofoten area. http://daniellealder.wordpress.com<br />
<br />
Verena is from Germany and I believe is around Levanger. http://verena-i-norge.blogspot.no<br />
<br />
Ethan is from Canada and is in Namsos, Norway on the west coast. http://ethansnorwayadnventure.blogspot.no<br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you guys go check them out too to get more than just a Halden view of Norway.

It's been quite the week. My host family, my host mother's parents and their host student and her sister's family all went to this summer house in Ula, near Larvik in I believe it's called Vestland (West-Land)? Anyway, I got to experience many things along the way to and from the house. I tried many things for the first time. My first time on a ferry, eating chorizo by itself, eating cured lamb, having moose sausage (i've eaten moose burgers but never moose sausage), my first time in the open ocean, my first time trying Solo (a popular Norwegian soda) and trying this one soda I can't remember, and that was just on the ferries!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We took two ferries. One half hour long one that went across the middle of Oslo-fjord, and then a longer one from Sondefjorden, Norway to Strömstad, Sweden where we took a car back to Norway. Below are the photos from the second ferry :) (I didn't take any on the first because twas so very short).</div>

So, we decided we'd take my host grandfather's boat out into the fjord and have a meal on the boat when we'd got to the edge of the fjord which connects to both Oslo-fjord and the North Sea. I really can't tell you much except that we ate hotdogs wrapped in lefse instead of hotdog buns. It's much easier to show you my journey through photographs, so, Enjoy :)<br />

Now, I use it mostly as a landmark to get where I want to go, but it's also a great place just to clear your mind at, get a good look at the layout of the city or just walk through history. The fortress is over 300 years old and has been invaded quite a few times by Sweden (The Norwegians even killed the Swedish king outside of the fortress walls, and there is a statue commemorating that.)<br />
<br />
It's regarded as one of the most scenic and beautiful fortresses in Europe, according to a local travel guide that I picked up today.<br />
<br />
So, behold, Fredriksten Festning (Fredriksten Fortress).<br />
<br />
#Selfie (This is over the cliff at Fredriksten, and you're looking at Old Town in Halden. The oldest buildings in the town.)<br />

There are many different cultural events here throughout the year. They've also got a bakery, brewery and a restaurant in some of the fortress' old buildings.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for my next posts about things such as a boat ride on Iddefjorden, My trip to the North Sea near Larvik, and my first/second ferry rides across the ocean!Ethan Blockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692884416933207295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844486136670068659.post-24020152242841286172014-08-27T06:44:00.002-07:002014-08-27T06:44:55.301-07:00Back To SchoolWell, today was my third day of school, second day of actually having classes. I'm attending Halden Videregående Skole Risum, a school for Musikk/Dans/Drama and then it has some general classes like Science, Math, Phys. Education, etc.<br />
<br />
First off, I must talk about the schedule. It's what I believe is called a "block schedule". Where you only have a class 2 or 3 times a week and you get 15 minutes in between classes, you have 45 min. for lunch and another 45 min. for something called "Midtime" where you go to a sort of homeroom and study/do homework/socialize until your last hour and a half of the day. School days are at the most from 8am to 3:40pm but some days you'll get out earlier because of "Møtetid (meeting time)" on Wednesdays... at least at my school.<br />
<br />
School is fun, you go to classes with essentially all of the same people you have in your other classes, it's a small school of a little more than 200 students, then there's the other high school, like a general high school Halden Videregående Skole Porsnes, where over 700 students are. You must bring your own lunch unless you want to pay a buttload for school lunch, so I bring matpakke and for my matpakke it's just open faced sandwiches w/ bread, butter, salami/ham, and gouda cheese.<br />
<br />
Here's my school (all the buildings):<br />

I am living in Halden, Norway which is near the Swedish border south of Oslo, and I will post pictures of my city when I hit the town one day after getting settled in. My story starts long before arriving in Halden, way back in good ole' Minot, North Dakota, USA.<br />
<br />
August 17, 2014 - It was an extremely vigorous day, packing everything for Norway and our very long drive to Alexandria, MN the next day. Also, it involved saying Ha Det Bra (goodbye) to the last couple of my friends before I am off. I went to sleep early so I would be well rested for the long road ahead.<br />
<br />
August 18, 2014 - We left around 2pm to go to Bismarck, ND and pick up my father from work. We then headed east, towards Alexandria to spend the night before driving to Minneapolis in the morning. It was a long drive, but when we got to the hotel I felt better. Some more driving in the morning.<br />
<br />
August 19, 2014 - 8am. 8am is roughly the time we began our drive from Alexandria to Minneapolis. We arrived in Minneapolis roughly 2 hours later and immediately went across the street from our hotel to Mall of America where we spent the day going on amusement park rides, eating both Johnny Rockets as well as Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. The women of the family continued to shop as my father and I took the tram to downtown Minneapolis. There we walked around a bit and looked at the skyscrapers. We needed to sleep though, for I had to depart on my journey at 5am the next morning.<br />

August 20, 2014 - 5am is when the shuttle left for the airport, 7am is when my flight left. I said Ha Det Bra to my mor og søster (Mother and Sister) and went through the gate with my far (father). I then had to get on the plane without my father, and head to New York City for AFS gateway orientation before departing to Norge (Norway).<br />

I arrived in New York City and landed at JFK, which by the way is a HUGE airport. Thankfully, I found another AFS student on the same flight as me and we figured it out together. We were met by AFS staff who are VOLUNTEERING their time to help us, so if any AFS staff are reading this post, it is literally impossible to thank you enough for helping us through this exchange. Tusen takk! (Thousand Thanks).<br />

August 21, 2014 - We had a full day of orientation on the 20th, and quite a bit of orientation before our flight at 5:30 that evening. There were 10 of us from the American orientation that went to Norway.<br />

August 22, 2014 - We flew AirBerlin to Tagel Airport in Berlin, Germany. The service on AirBerlin was very good, and flying 8 hours over the ocean isn't all that exciting, but they had an entire season of Vikings and Game of Thrones, so that was good! I also watched the first 20 minutes of The Blind Side in German. We got to Tagel early in the morning, and we had roughly 10-15 minutes to board the next flight (including customs and the airport security checkpoints), so we got on just as they were going to leave basically.<br />
<br />
The plane arrived in Oslo Gardermoen Airport after only about an hour and a half of flying, then we found our AFS Norge Internasjonal Utveksling staff at the airport and we played children's games for an hour or two in front of the entire airport and all of its customers... After what I believe was the French, Italians, Turkish, Venezuelans and us, the Americans arrived we took a couple buses to the hotel about a half hour to an hour from the city. There we had orientation and whatnot.<br />
<br />
August 22, 23, and 24, 2014 - I kind of got these days blended together, it was very very busy. All I know is that I met a huge amount of amazing people, very nice people, and I soon realized that AFS Students love to clap... at EVERYTHING. We played Cards Against Humanity, had a talent show with other members of our home country, we learned some Norwegian, ate Norwegian lunches/dinners and very American style breakfasts. We played activities, and separated into regions and local AFS chapters to discuss the dialects of that region as well as what is expected of us in Norwegian society and how we can conform to it. I also know that the water here is Veldig God (VERY GOOD)! So clear and non-polluted. The air is the same way. Oh, and I ate reindeer meat!<br />

Well we walked back to the hotel and met the families we will be staying with. My family is awesome and I am so grateful for them allowing me to reside in their home. I hope you enjoyed my post, and I will be posting more throughout my year. Takk! Ha Det!Ethan Blockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01692884416933207295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844486136670068659.post-20715024648060786372014-07-28T23:09:00.000-07:002014-07-28T23:11:32.505-07:00Welcome to My Blog! Well this is new...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ethan Block and at the moment I am a 16 year old proud North Dakotan (Wait... they have people?). Yes, we do. Like four. I enjoy quite a lot of things. I like cooking, and hold a job in the food business. I enjoy filmmaking, I have a website with my friend (<a href="http://www.duonamicmedia.com/">www.duonamicmedia.com</a>) where we produce some short films that we write ourselves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really enjoy photography and the thing I probably enjoy the most of all of those things would be experiencing the world around me through travels and just enjoying life day to day. I'll be blogging during a foreign exchange program I am doing for my Junior year of high school to Norway! (A large population of North Dakotan's are Norsk, including myself!). I'm going through AFS Intercultural Programs and leave in exactly 23 days!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I enjoy vlogging on the YouTubes (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNTGL5xJTD8K9T6EM-6Ngug">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNTGL5xJTD8K9T6EM-6Ngug</a>), i'll post a couple of my vlogs down below for your enjoyment. I'll also be vlogging my experiences in Norway throughout the year, but this blog is for those of you who'd enjoy reading my experiences. I'll also be linking the videos and putting photographs in my blog posts for added enjoyment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my first vlog that I posted on my channel:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(The reference about my coffee and how I like it like my men was from "Airplane!")</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the vlog where I talk about my Norwegian exchange year:</div>

<div>
And I had a blast on the Fourth of July (American Independence Day):</div>

<div>
Well, I hope you enjoyed my first blog post on here, and subscribe to my blog for notifications when I post again! Thanks, and have an awesome day :)</div>
