Barbeque.
On Sunday we went with some new friends for a barbeque. We got hot dogs from the store and bought a small one-time use grill. It looked like an aluminum baking pan, with charcoal inside. It had a grill top, and they can be obtained in any store in the city. Norway is very big on parks and the out doors. Because of this you are allowed to barbeque anywhere in the city that you want to. The guys and I found shady spot in the park and lit our barbeque. We had a great time sitting, talking and eating grilled hotdogs. We did not get home until ten pm, however due to Oslo’s northern location, the sun was still fully out.
Before we left Boston, I was told that if I was ever home sick to look at the moon. The moon always looks the same no matter what country you are in. This is a very romantic and lovely idea. Unfortunately I have not seen the moon or the stars in two weeks. The darkest it gets here is the equivalent to six A.M in the states. While this is great for the summer, I am apprehensive to experience the darkness of winter.
