Hello ...

Here, classes are over here since Friday and so now at work, the examination session is already beginning this Thursday, Nov. 28 to finish on December 18th!

I am currently in 'blockade' as they say in Belgium, Studying time! But I have time since my exams are on 13, 14 and 18 December! So with a buddy we go from 5 to 10 December in Oslo one day and then head for Stockholm 4days! So it's only now I no longer have to waste too much time at work! That's why my blog is not out of date ... I still have so many weekends of adventure to tell, but for that we must be patient and wait for my exams! But until I put lots of photos on picasaweb:

Cabin'trip

weekend of 13 and 14 October is left for my third cabin'trip this time STAKKSLETTSBUA direction. As usual, take the bus to get to the start of the hike. And here, there is often only one bus a day, and this time the bus leaves at 15h and the hike was long and thus arriving at night at the cabin. But that did not make us afraid;) So to spice it all, Eloise was very, very hard, I'll say that ... then go to the bus stop (30min walk from where Moholt one lives) everyone was on time, even the English, I ask the simple question to Eloise, you got the keys to the cabin anyway?? she replied with a face now all white ... NO ... that is when the race against time began, we had exactly 15 minutes before the bus arrives, it's a little more time in Fort Boyard, but here was proof of more stressful cabin'trip or not?!?!

Having adopted two cars without success, the third was good, a nice grandpa Norwegian Eloise took hitchhiking Moholt direction and we took her back to the time! Merciii! And the bus came ... Now we could relax a little, 2 hours journey towards the south. Here we are, 17h, 12 Erasmus, and a way, it's gone. First, a wide path for 9km and then hike a small trail for 2km and then after ... you have to make do! Night falls as we are always on the wide path, but we are equipped with flashlights and more motivated than ever to some. Fortunately it was not raining, but the trail was flooded cons, pretty folk especially in the dark night when you do not really know where you walk! And very lucky we found our cabin quickly, or else those who ran the card in the dark were quite talented enough!

After a quick tour of the premises, you must start the fire and start prepare the dinner menu, potatoes, pols (sort of sausage Zwan, we find everywhere in Norway and it's cheap, but I'm disgusted) and pea. The atmosphere was very warm and there was even a guitar to lead our party! And at midnight, surprise, it was Eloise's birthday, no cake but a few candles and gifts.

The next day, wake noon, we sleep really well in cabin ', we finally discover the landscape that surrounds us, there is no snow, no rain, so it's already that! And after long breakfast, we must already think of any store and do the dishes before the start ... the return is done quietly and again, it's dark before it reaches the bus stop.

Another nice weekend in a new area south of Trondheim, thank you to Eloise for the organization! For photos, you have the habit now, follow the link:

You will see that we did not was a single ray of sunshine this weekend, but no rain except a little late, so we can say that we were lucky, and yes that's right ... Norway

Otherwise I hope that in Belgium or France, you are all well, enjoy your day ... because here it's already dark at 4am! I'm not too used to and makes you want to eat all the time, not good!

My next articles will arrive soon, a new cabin'trip with the discovery of a new tradition: Sauna Sauna Snow Snow ... and an article on the Norwegian food, perhaps! Soon

PS: thank you Julie and Claire for your holiday cards and all for your emails!

Poem About Money And A Baby

The college and my classes ... WE



I do not know where to start so there is much to say ... Every week I'm surprised because I discovered that way is really impressive! First, here for the student card, it takes you a photo and 5 minutes later, it gives you your card is super fast and so is all that is paperwork! Once there is a small problem, the leadership and international office by day everything is back to normal, no need to run as at Louvain office in office and sometimes wait for weeks for a simple paper! Here, they really work!

Otherwise as I've already said, I have three classes, which makes me 13 hours of classes a week and I have no classes on Friday, so it's really extra for you travelers on WE ! By cons, here we have lots of homework and work, so it is less gland in Belgium! The week so I work a lot, no morning or leave aprèm! But I'm not going to complain because sometimes they are quoted and accounts for a lot of points in the middle! For example, in course (Industrial Ecology) weekly group we work to realize all these works account for 50%, so we give ourselves a lot on this, and because it pays each time for now we have over 90%! Class! For example, in a way, it was a total of 10 assignments during the period, to pass the exam, you must validate 5! In Norway, they all work a lot during the year, they arrive in the morning and leave at 4 am even though they did not progress, they remain in college to work! But we must know the infrastructure here makes you want to work! Here, I've got all my classes in the program Master "Industrial Ecology" and so we have a room just for us, with ordis, really comfortable seats, free printer to print as much as you like, scan, everything is at our disposal, and little more than a corner sofa to rest, it's really quiet! Get all the rooms here, and there are plenty around, are really well equipped (for example, in one, there are two screens for each pc), and not at all dilapidated. And so is all that is available to us, everything is still intact, the Norwegians are very respectful to the material standpoint, it's really surprising from Belgium ! Moreover, here the wifi is available throughout the university, in the Ikea cafeteria, in every audience, too practical when the course is boring! As you can see, that way is pretty impressive, I still do not have pictures, but I'll try to take my camera next week to show you all this!

Otherwise the entire month of October, there were so few in the industry days, each with a different area, and here they are super generous, I received a lot of USB drives 1GB, pens, bottle openers ...

Other small things that surprised me also, what are the cups of coffee! Indeed, by the beginning of the year, we all received a stainless steel cup, and when used, coffee and tea are less expensive, more history to avoid possible cups and therefore minimize waste! Not stupid at all, especially here in the cold, everyone is drinking, and during, it's pretty funny everyone has before him his cup, even the teacher! And here the hot water is free!

Otherwise, I also started courses in Norwegian, 'survival course', 6h per week 4weeks, the courses are free just for Erasmus! This is really extra, you learn everything from scratch, numbers, time, and basic conversations, but I can tell you that it's really not easy, sounds are completely different and there are new letters do not exist among us! Furthermore, we learn a Norwegian academic, and not necessarily one that people talk. You should know already that in Norway there are two official dialects and then into each region, they speak differently with different pronunciations! It promises to!

Well, I hope you realize that Erasmus is not only the gland, I work a lot this week, just to take full advantage of my weekends, and I admit that sometimes I dream to sleep a little longer! But hey I'm only here for 4months, so sleeping in it will be for the Christmas holidays when most will blockade! At this point, I shall have finished my exam '! I still have more than 3 weeks of classes and then blockade, it goes fast!

soon! And special hello to Marie-Pierre, thank you for your mail!

Ontario Licence Plates Available

A calmer .... WE

We're already half of the semester (quad) and no bowl here looks as the 'midterm "exams! Fortunately for me, I have only one of my 3cours, hence coming up this weekend, I put myself (at work)!

But here in Erasmus, all is not so simple because this weekend will still be completed even if I do not go through in mop Norway !

Indeed, first of all, this Thursday, October 4, two weeks after my trip to Lofoten, I organize a "Memorable Party in my flat" with, among other all those who participated in this trip! It was extra, and Again I was surprised they did not come empty handed, in addition to sour beers, they had some gifts for my birthday! The evening looking good ... check out the photos!

Saturday, October 6, ISU (International Student Union) organized the EURODINNER, the principle is simple, we had to prepare a 'dinner' to his own country by the team and we were rewarded for the presentation and the dish!

With Alice and Eloise, the Belgium team was ready! After more than an hour of discussion, we decided for this topic Saint Nicolas !!! And yes not easy to find something possible "kitchen" with ingredients that exist in Norway and with material that was! All week, we're trained to cook the best and the best biscuit crackers they are and truffles and chocolate covered marzipan! For the presentation, it was less complicated, drawings and crafts of St Nicolas, mandarin, false gifts, slippers, letters to St. Nicolas, St. Nicolas beer and carrots for the donkey! Not forgetting the sour disguise pajamas for all 3!

Once arrived there, all the stands were really impressive and a lot of competition waiting for us! You could taste everything was really delicious lasagna from Italy, English paella or other dishes German, French, Norwegian, Turkish, Dutch!! Our little Belgium team defended well, everyone loved it and other Belgian were too surprised by our delicious crackers! Indeed thank you mama for your jam, everyone has appreciated the cracker!

After 2h of wine tasting, the judges make their verdict at last! Outstanding! There were 4 prizes, one for the best presentation and three for the best dishes! Drum roll ... The Belgium team won for best presentation!! Yeaaaaaaaaaah! The United States, Italy and Germany won the other! Another wonderful evening where we met lots of people and shared our culinary specialties! It really does not get bored in Erasmus! Here are some pictures:
