Cover in snow

I got up from bed this morning and looked through my window and wow!!!!
It was snowing a lot!!!!!
It was pretty dark and the entire city was cover in snow.
The colors were special. All kinds of grays were mixed in many different ways. It was truly beautiful!! I guess you could see it in both pictures. If you are wondering how the temperature was (because i did it this morning); it was -1 degrees Celsius. Yes, it was cold. Actually, it's kind of cold for this time of the year.
I got my "proper clothes" because Norwegians always say: there's no bad weather only bad clothes" or something like that. I put on my "proper clothes"and, i will make a list for you so you get an idea: warm wool underpants and shirt, wool socks, a thin sweater and then a thick one, warm pants, a nice warm coat, globes, a hat, warm winter shoes and finally, do not forget your scarf !!! Yeah, you must put on a lot of clothes!!! but it keeps you warm and isolated.
After this complicated part, i was on my way to the door and wondered whether i needed skis to go down the hill, or was it slippery? perhaps icy? So, i opened the door and carefully step on the floor. I stared walking and realized that i did not needed skis. The cars made a trail so you could walk on it. However, it wasn't that easy. I forgot about something, the wind!!! It was bloody windy. The wind could blow me and then, the snow was coming in any direction. I couldn't see. I opened my umbrella but it was hopeless. There's no umbrella which could resist this wind!!!! Never mind, i just had to get to work, right? So i walked under this conditions. I stopped from time to time and took pictures here and there. It took me 30 min to get to the University and i live close to it... Uff!!! I got so tired! You have no idea! What a experience! Walking in a snowing, windy and cold day in Bergen; it is a challenging experience! and I love challenges!!!

The cat in the bus

I just could not leave this behind today. This post is just something; I wanna share with all of you. It may be a bit funny, but it can also show how different reality can be from one place to another one. I read the news everyday. It’s not because I want to be smart or something like that. I basically read it to check the weather report for next day :P Anyways, every time I do it, I also check other stuffs. I sometimes notice that Bergens news are estrange, unusual, funny and naïve. Maybe it’s nothing going on in this city. That may be the case. I usually check two websites: bt.no and ba.no. Last Saturday, I found two examples of what I call stupid news. Please, my Norwegian friends correct me whether I am misunderstanding the content of the news. They may probably be important. I just needed to show you an example of what I mean. BA newspaper posted the news about a cat "The cat in the bus" This cat likes to get in buses. They reported that the cat did not pay the ticket http://www.ba.no/nyheter/article3909394.ece

Come on!!!!!! I swear!!!!! this was news front page in BA.no last Saturday. Can you believe this? You do not need to read Norwegian to understand it; I guess you are getting my point right? The same day, I checked my country’s news, and then finally bbc news. The perspective is totally different from one website to the other one. It seems to me that people in Venezuela are living another world. This world is an unknown dimension in this country. It is just me or Norwegians are too naïve. Again, I have nothing against Norwegians (my friends can tell you this) I do love Norway and its culture but sometimes, they must need to see a bit of what reality is, outside their amazing country.

A new life in Bergen

I moved back to Bergen. I move back, with a new life. I got back to this lovely town (well, i admit i change my mind when it starts raining a lot) When I got back from Venezuela, I was feeling incredible bad. More like sick and unbalance. I got very sad when i left home.

View from our place at Fjellien


I was feeling confused as well; but, as soon as i got back here i got much better. I do not know why. I guess that it is always hard to say goodbye to family and friends. I do not really know. The fact is that i am feeling better. This week has gone quickly. I got back last thursday. I got straight to my new place. The new place where i live is great. I live by the mountain, it is not too high. I just walk like 10 min from downtown. The street is called Fjellien. The house has a amazing view. You can see the fjord, mountains and the city. It is very calm up here. I share the house with two more people. My flatmates are a girl (Mia) and a guy (David), both from Sweden. They are great people and friends. Both scientists like me and we have a lot of things in common. So far, it's going great with them. When i got here, they were waiting for me to give me a welcome hug :)
I spent most of the last weekend unpacking and decorating my new room. It felt so great because i was moving from place to place for about 3 month and having my stuffs in boxes and bags. So now, i have settleed at last!!!!!!!!
So far so good. I feel very excited about my new life in Bergen and looking forward for what it will come next!
My room (half of it): a perfect decoration for a hippie girl :)
