SCHWEIZ BASEL SCHWEIZ BASEL

I've been bad at updating again... And I haven't taken any new photos either, i'm a bad blogger haha! I should take a picture of me in my working clothes, maybe that could be fun for you guys to see?

 

Soo, the past couple of days I've been working afternoon and evening shifts which means that I sleep til I wake up, without setting an alarm, feels so good! I've been working at the soccer arena two times this week and the rest in the restaurant. Oh and this morning I had the "opening-of-the-breakfast" shift, it's a bit hard to change your sleep-awake habits over night. Anyhow I managed to get up in time after only four hours of sleep. Cause last night a bunch of people from work was out for a couple of drinks - really nice!

 

I went to watch "The Amazing Spiderman" the other night, it was really good! Apart from that I haven't really been up to much interesting stuff... Sleep - work - eat - sleep - haha! 

 

You can get one little picture :P

 

Tomorrow I'm going to work at a wedding, which Rica isn't arranging so I don't really know what to expect and I don't even know where i'm going to work. Hmm well "det löser sig" haha! And tonihght I'm going to my Swedish neighbours and Co-workers and I heard something about an Ice Age Marathon... 

 

And yeah, soem people at home are probably wondering about the weather and of it's dark or not and things like that so here we go : It's starting to get darker, the other night i went home at 21 and then it was dusk, I don't really wanna say it out loud but I think it's going to get dark fairly quickly from now on :( And to the weather, now it's raining, first time in like 2 weeks... We've had som ereally nice days, with temperatures up to 17 (!) but most of the times it's like 7 degrees I think. And it felt really bad, yesterday I took my winter jacket!! It's August and it's not supposed to be as cold now.. Well I guess I'll just have to get used to it cause it's not getting warmer.

 

Krus - Mugg

Det blev visst bara ett ord den här gången..

 

Ha de gott!

Häromdan var jag på ett ställe som heter bukta med frisbeefolk. Det var hur fint som helst, strand, klippor, gräsytor och beachvolleyplan. Ett sånt ställe där man hänger på sommaren :) Kastade lite tallrikar där oh sen spelade vi lite volleyboll också trevligt! Träffade två couchsurfers från Kanada och USA, alltid kul att träffa folk från andra länder. Sen blev det att vi gick hem till en av mina frisbeekompisar, han som hostade couchsurfarna och där käkade vi mat och tjötade, tog bussen he för första gången och det gick bra :P Roligt att busschaffören var svensk och faktiskt var från jönköping, vad är oddsen för det liksom?!

.

Är som vanligt väldigt dålig på att ta bilder, får nästan börja ta med mig kameran överallt och känna mig som värsta turisten.. Hmm kanske blir bättre på det, men lovar inget haha! Här är i alla fall en bild på min namnskylt.

Tåke - Dimma

Syltetøy - Sylt

Kvittering - Kvitto

Hey Peeps! Worked 8-15.30 today, first breakfast which was really slow, spend like an hour with polishing cutlery.. And then I was in the lobby bar called Galleriet. Didn't bring my camera to work and my dear friend google couldn't help me this time, but maybe you'll see how it looks like another time :) In the lobby bar it was very slow as well, I think I sold for a total of 500 something NOK, not much at all! So there I spent more time polishing knifes and forks and also folding napkins, which e use for breakfast and buffés. When you work in the lobby bar yu're all by yourself and there is no music on :/ so it was only me and my thoughts for a couple of hours today.

.

The last couple of days I've been working breakfasts and in the lobby bar, and on thursday I was on another memorial in Bikuben, serving people canapés and coffe and lots of cakes! Norweigan people eat so much cake, I think they were like 50 people and they had 9 (!) cakes.. On friday I went out with a couple of friends, it was fun but i had to get up early the next day so it wasnät very late for me. And i also went on a really nice walk with my roomie and another swedish girl, it was beautiful wheather.  We rossed the bridge to the mainland, Tromsödalen I think it's called.

.

Now I've two days off, and i haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, probably play some ultimate.. i went on a practice the other day and we're five poeple there, haha not much and i was the most experienced one.. I miss canadian ultimate! Being able to go to a practice and really learn something and you can do some scrimmages with more player than five on five... And tomorrow (I think) starts the Junior World Championshops in Dublin! Can't believe it was two years ago since i was in Heilbronn playing for Team Sweden and ended up fifth in the world and kept our first place in europe! Good Times!

I don't  have a library card yet but i think Ill get one later and I might even start to read some norweigan books... maybe. I also went to the tourist information, thought that could be good and I got some ideas of what I can do the next time I've a day off or two. Maybe hiking up a mountain close by :) I also watched like two episodes of Californication, a tv-series which a co-worker tricked me into watching haha!

.

And tonight I'm going to throw some plastic, never met the people before, but when you've ultimate in common everything tends to solve itself. It's going to be fun, but I'm not so keen on seeing how bad my stamina is, haven't been practicing ulti in a loong time!

Peace!

Ser inte så gammal ut va?

.

Och sen kollade jag på damernas kulkastning och här har vi ledaren, vitryskan:

Mycket östrogen i denna kvinna? Usch det kanske är hemskt att säga så men men...

.

En annan tanke som dykt upp är hur kul det är att jämföra vad atleterna har på sig, hur det skiljer sig från friidrott, till badminton och basket, och beachvolley, you name it! Och sen hur det kiljer sig mellan de olika friidrottsgrenarna, när man hoppar högt ska man tydligen ha bikinitrosor och en typ av sportbh, men när man springer distans så visar man inte magen. Haha, sånt tycker jag är kul

Idag var det frukost som gällde och Rica Ishavshotell satsar på att vara Norges bästa frukost så visste att jag hade lite press på mig haha. Började kl 05.30, supertidigt med tanke på attjag sovit till 11.30-13 de senaste dagarna och igår jobbade jag till halv tolv, så mina kära 8 timmars sömn fick jag minsann inte. Igår var det Buffe för ca 80 gäster på restaurangen på hotellet, det var hellugnt och jag jobbade med en trevlig svensk, än så länge har jag jobbat med två norska och tre svenska, får se hur det ser ut i fortsättningen. Och i lördags var det ett 70-årskalas, med tre-rätters som jag serverade.

.

Frukosten idag gick fint, och den såg riktigt god ut, ganska stor skillnad från Sjökanten om man säger så. Fick tyvärr inte smaka av allt :( Men det blev ägg&bacon, stekt korv, någon konstig fylld köttbulleliknande sak, wienerbröd, fil med musli och macka yum yum. Själva jobbet bestod av att servera kaffe och att plocka undan disk, inte alltför intressant haha!

.

Jaa, ungefär såhär ser det ut, framgooglad bild.

.

Än så länge består mitt liv här uppe mest av jobb, har hunnit med en springrunda och att chilla med jobbarkompisar efter jobbet på en bar. Tänker att man kanske kan utöka sin sociala umgängeskrets lite senare :P Kanske blir det lite ultimate :)

.

Höll på att glömma, den lilla norska ordlistan:

rydda - typ plocka undan

fersken - persika, vad hände där liksom haha

decke upp - duka

trasa - klut

.

I arrived in Tromsö yesterday and one of my bosses showed me and two other new swedish girls around in the city, it's not that big so it didn't take all day haha! It's a cosy little city and the houses are a bit wierd, looks like they've just been put where they are randomly... My apartment, which I share with another Swede, is really nice and close to the city center and about ten min walk to work. The outside looks like a building site though, but it's the inside that counts, right?

.

First day at work and it was a memorial at a place called Bikuben, a house located about 5-10 min drive from the hotel, here it is.

.

It went really well and my norweigan co-worker was really nice, so at work is everything good so far :) And here's the view from one of our bars ----

.

Tonight some of my co-workers (which I haven't worked woth yet) were going out to a bar/restaurant, could be fun, so I think i'll hang out with them for a while and then sleep and then I don't start working until two tomorrow.

.

And then there's the thing with language haha! I do understand norweigan but sometimes I get it wrong and it can be kind of funny. Anyway, today and yesterday I learned a couple of new words:

Vakt - Shift

Vannmug (Don't really know how it's spelled) - Vattenkanna

Koselig - Trevligt/Mysigt

Leilighet - Lägenhet

Flink - Duktig

Ha de gott!
