Life Through My Eyes
And We’re Back. After a pretty long day, we are finally back home. At this point, I am exhausted and want to sleep for the rest of the day, but I’m going to try and avoid that in an effort to get back to our timings here. Once again, a special thanks to our family …
Today was our last full day here. Today, we went to Sweden for a few hours and then had a family barbecue. These past ten days seemed to go by really fast and we have had a great time here. It’s weird to say that I’ve been to Europe. 🙂 I am definitely going to …
Yesterday, we met up with our cousin Arslan bhai where he works and then went out with him around Oslo. The building where he works at was pretty neat and it is built in a really modern style. The view from there was absolutely beautiful as well (I feel like I say that about everywhere …
Let’s start off with yesterday. Yesterday night we went to the Colosseum to see “Indiana Jones”. The place was very pretty nice. We got back home around 12:30, and were just sitting around talking … and about ten or fifteen minutes later the lights went out. At first, I thought it was just my cousin’s …
This afternoon we went to a beach nearby my cousin’s house. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and the total opposite of yesterday. Later, in the evening we went to dinner at my aunt’s friend’s house. There, we learned that there was apparently an earthquake here yesterday. Fortunately, we didn’t feel anything.
Today, we went to Lillehammer – which is where the Olympics were held in 1994. The scenery here (everywhere in Norway) is beautiful – and the two and a half hour ride there wasn’t bad at all, barring the rain. The weather was terrible – extremely foggy and a lot of rain. But we made …
The day we arrived in Norway, after being asked what we were interested in seeing, I said we wanted the “Norway experience… so what ever that is”. The reply was in correlation with the jungle. So early this afternoon, my uncle, my brother and I went to … the jungle. lol. It’s right by their …
Earlier this afternoon we went to the Frogner Park, which is called the “Vigeland Parken” I believe. There, we saw some pretty cool sculptures : one was of different age groups or generations around in a circle; the first one was one of babies and toddlers, and as you went around the circle of sculptures, …
I took this picture yesterday at 9:45 P.M. here in Norway. When I went to sleep around 1 A.M., it still was only a bit dark.
We’re here! The strike was over by the time we got there … even though it was only affecting domestic flights anyhow. It is now 1:45 P.M. here..which makes it 7:45 A.M. New Jersey time. As soon as we got on the plane yesterday, we found out there would be an hour to an hour …
