From Mateus:
In november 11-12th I had my first experience as a driver in Norway. I went to a place 350 Km far north from Bergen, near to Måløy (Google Earth 61°57'5.22"N - 5° 3'18.40"E). Here the confirmands have a football championship called Natt Cup, where different confirmand groups of one region make their teams and the games happens from 8:00 in the night til 5:00 in the morning. But there was a small service and a concert too. We also had a time when the kids payed for some games, and the money collected is going to be send for scolarships in Cameroon. In fact, I was there to help Jan Inge with the stand of NMS U. This guy studied at Hald last year and went to Cameroon. He also had a little speach in the service. And I read John 3.16 in portuguese and speaked what does it mean to me. And about the trip, it took more than 6:30 hours to travell, because the road has a lot of curves, hills, in some places it is very narrow... and we need to take 2 ferrys and we had a lot of rain and some snow too. It was a good experience!!

Det kamerunske godteriet som vi spiser mye av her er peanøtter, behandlet på diverse vis. Jeg ble riktig så overrasket da vi fikk våre ukentlige sukra peanøtter på ei Absolut Vodka flaske her en dag! Så diverse tomme spritflasker i Solbu, er nok ikke et resultat av spritsmugling fra Sverige og et mere liberalt syn på alkohol, men derimot et stort konsum av peanøtter.. ;)

Vi kom fram til Fandriana etter det hadde blitt mørkt. Fandriana er ein landsby med strøm ca 2 timer i døgnet, utan innlagt vatn og dårlig mobildekning. Hald jentene jobbar på lærarskulen som engelsklærarar. Dei bur på internatet med dei andre lærarstudentane. Alt vatn som skal brukast må hentes i brønnen. På kjøkkenet har dei ei bøtte med reint vatn, og ei med skittent vatn frå oppvask og slikt, skittenbøtta må tømmast like ofte som reinebøtta må fylles. Det å gå å bere rundt på vatn hit og dit er tungt så Rune og eg er veldig glad for å ha innlagt vatn.

Hi, Folkens...I am here now thinking about the life... How can we miss so much people that we have just known? JAaaaaaaaaaa, people from Hald, I miss you all! It certainly is Kay's fault: I was reading his blog and I saw some pictures from the Amsterdan's airport... So... Ohhhh... VI FRA HALD ER SÅ KOSELIG SOM VI ER SAMMEN!!!! I don' know if it is written correctly, but you know what I mean, don't you?Here in Bergen it is all OK! We have a sunny-rainy day, and I am completely used to it... For me, this is Bergen, I like rain, and I will not live here for ever (hehehehe)... So...

Jeg har det VELDIG braaa!I'm having a wonderful time here in Araçatuba, and I'm sure this is where I'm supposed to be right now! The church is great, the people in the church is wonderful - the woman I'm living with (Dona Ordalena) is so nice to me... I have a brand new bike, and the temperature is around 30 C. I am truly blessed! Life is good!

Det var ikke noe aa si paa respekten fra elevene. Da vi kom inn i klassen reiste de seg opp og hilste hoflig paa oss som en laerer skal bli hilst paa. Men da vi hadde hatt undervisning en stund merket vi at de sto fremdeles. De ventet paa ordren om aa sette seg. Hjelpen til aa viske av tavlen trengtes heller ikke aa bli spurt om.Skolen her er lagt opp til aa vaere ganske militaer. Laereren har en veldig autoritet. Med oppstilling hver morgen ved skolestart der det er aa staa i rett og paa stedet hvil. Etter aa ha sunget nasjonalsangen bar det opp til klasserommet. En elev tullet litt med en kamerat. Det kom ikke ustraffet henn. En orefik og straff som gikk ut paa aa feie gulvet.

We saw snow (my first time... ohhhhhh) but we were inside the car. I could see some couples just-marrieds norwegians, and I notice that they like having babies. All the couples have, at least, two children!So far, I am ok, happy, in the rainy Bergen!

From Mateus;
Hi!! Finally some news!! I´m in Bergen since october 6th, almost 1 month, how crazy!! Only last week they fixed our internet at home, so I still have to copy the pictures from the school laptop. So I´ll do it this week.The nonsense started in our trip from Mandal to Bergen. In Stavanger we (me, Leo and Rafaela) were suposed to take the plane to Bergen. The problem was that in national flights you can carry only 28 kilos in your luggage... you can imagine how much things we brought from Brasil and at school we took the winter clothes and all the books... each one of us had almost 50 kilos. So, one of us had to come by bus with the biggest part of our things, and Leo did it. The only problem is that the trip by plane only takes 25 minutes and by bus it takes more than 5 hours. But everything was ok.Our first impression about the city was that we have to respect its fame: almost 4 days with a lot of rain. So since we get here we are used to take the rain clothes (if we are not wearing them at the moment). But now we don´t complain anymore, we just have to be prepared and enjoy it.
And what about everybody write the posts in English???

.....jeg kom i prat med (eller prøvde å prate med) de som jobba her her en dag, og han ene sa at de pleide å spille volleyball på lørdager på ungdomssenteret og siden jeg liker volleyball tenkte jeg at det hadde jo vært artig å være med på. Men jeg hadde ikke den fjerneste anelse om at den turneringa begynte kl 6 om morran!! Da vi våkna i åttetida var de godt i gang allerede. Når vi hadde spist frokost og klare til å starte dagen var turneringa over alt. Nå skal det nå sies til deres forsvar at det var på grunn av at det var en basketballturnering seinere på dagen og at de måtte være ferdig til det begynte at de begynte så tidlig på dagen. Men likkavæl. Dér har du noe som aldri ville skjedd i Norge. Aldri i verden.

Og den røde varme huden vår hjalp ikke akkurat på avkjølingen…visste dere forresten at det går an å være solbrent på øyelokkene? Jeg tror både jeg og Anne-Lise kan skrive under på at det går an. Vi sovna nemlig i solen, uten solbriller.
Guess who said this.... Click here to find out
And who said this:
Ungene er jo bare helt utrolig fantastisk uforståelig nydelige! Også er de ikke redd for fremmede en plass! De kommer løpende for å hilse og bukke, og jeg aner ikke hvor mange sa-wadi-ka jeg har hørt i løpet av disse dagene!

.....Vi tok buss inn til byen. det var litt av et syn! det er litt type minibuss, men vi ville kanskje trodd bussen var full naar det var 8 personer inni, neida! der er det plass til hvertfall 28 (det var det hoeyeste tallet vi satt paa med i gaar)... heheh og de er ikke akkurat bygd for norske bein. rune, som er ganske hoey til aa vaere nordmann maatte sitte med boeyd hode i taxien paa vei hjem. den taxien maa forresten vaere en av de minste bilene jeg har sett noensinne!! hehe, det ligna litt paa ei folkevogn boble, veterean eller eldre, og var i miniatyrform. nei, det var en artig opplevelse! bussen koster 300 ariary uansett. det er ca 1kr vil jeg tro. mye folk, mye lyd og mye lukt. det er veldig annerledes her, men veldig morro.....

Nina says:
.....Så må jeg jo bare skrive litt om været!! oioioi, hver gang jeg går ut blir jeg like overrasket. Det er som om du går inn i en badstue, og luftfuktigheten er utrolig høy. Så med 30 grader og høy luftfuktighet kan du jo tenke deg! Nei forresten, du kan ikke tenke deg det- det må oppleves!!I dag har Joke(tidligere Hald student og vår kontaktperson)tatt oss med en liten tur på NMS kontoret, Immanuell og Home of Praise, der vi skal jobbe etter jul. Ungene på dagsentrene var utrolig sjønne, og vi gleder oss veldig til å komme tilbake å jobbe der!!...... Read more

The trip to Brasil went very well. I went to bed at about 01:00 in the night on monday, and got up at 03:50 - ready to go to the airport. The flight to Amsterdam was good, and there was some Hald students there. In Amsterdam we met even more, and that meant we had to say good bye to many people in Amsterdam. It was sad to leave all of them...............
........But at last we arrived in Curitiba, and Samuel drove us to the place we are staying for three weeks. In Renata and Rebecas apartment, you can see them on the picture below. Renata speaks good norwegian! It's really nice here, the temperature is over 20'C and we are being picked up by Samuel in short time.
Congratulation Marte! The first blog post from a practice place. Marte and Ragnhild have safely arrived Brazil and you can read the first written words from Brazil by Marte if you click here.
