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!

The language studies in Thailand are really difficult. Anyway the three girls Nina, Siv and Anne-Lise do their best.

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!
