Home, now really, home sweet home

I know I've used this phrase as a headline at least three times before in this blog, however, now I have a home!! I've been working in Oslo for the past six weeks and got a job at Kulturstudier (university exchange/work and travel based company), which I will start in August. Then earlier in the week I had a look at some apartments and met three happy people who were happy to share their apartment with me. It's in the centre of Oslo, behind the Royal Castle, in a beautiful area (where all the embassies are) and I think I will have a great time there. I just need to head off to Ikea and get some furniture for my room, but other than that it is sweet!

I'm heading to New York in two weeks time and I can't wait! The kids I'm working with at the moment are just lovely (at least most of them), and I think it will be awesome doing some sightseeing/shopping in the Big Apple with them.

Anyway, it was just a quick update, and although Norway isn't as interesting as Guatemala and don't have the beaches of Belize it ain't too bad of a country either. I went with Astrid (friend from Sydney) to Hovedøya (island in the Oslo fjord) yesterday and it was the most pathetic beach I've ever seen, nevertheless we had a good time looking at the people barbequeing and enjoying the evening sun. Have a wonderful day!

Cheers, Maria
