Norway

Hello friends!
I'm currently located in Oslo, Norway, to start a new life, get some life- and work experience and earn some money. I tell you, it is fun fun fun! I'm working on Egertorget in the middle of Karl Johan at a company called W. B. Samson. Samson is a cafe chain in Oslo and they have about 21 stores spread all over the capital. The store at Egertorget is the biggest. It's very busy, which is understandable since Karl Johan is more or less crowded all the time.

I'm doing my 4th day today and I really enjoy working there. During these 4 days I have developed a whole lot I think. I never thought I would be standing behind a coffee machine screaming "Double cappuccino!!" so people nearly lose their hearing. But I am! Hehe
My co-workers are amazing! I like them all. The atmosphere is very positive and refreshing (maybe the coffein is partly contributory to that...) and the days just fly by!

Yesterday was awesome! I felt so elated and effective in my job, I got into a very service minded mood and gave compliments to a few costumers which seemed to brighten them up a lot. There was a woman with a very cool blue bag, waiting for the key to the WC while I ran back and forth with clean and dirty plates. After a while when I'd passed her for the fifth time I had to stop and tell her that I really liked the color on her bag. She looked so surprised and said "Really? You think so?" and I said I did. We started chatting and she told me she was on her way to Germany. I wished her a joyful trip and went back to taking care of the dirty dishes. It felt so good afterwards!
I'll continue to do those things :)

OK, time to upload some pictures.

This was two days ago. After work I met my brother Oskar and he showed me his and Kickis (his girlfriend) apartment. After a while my second brother Joel came.
Kicki, Oskar and I ended up playing TP and drink tea. It was so nice! I'm so happy to have them here as well.

This was yesterday after I left work. 7 young guys (you can't see the drummer) were playing funky monkey music and I ended up thinking about my dear uncle. They were very good!

OK, that's all for now. I have another thing to write about, but I'll do that either tonight or tomorrow.

Until then - take care all and stay tuned ;)
