November

Hi !

After a few months in Stavanger Vincent went on his first trip to Bergen and Dale yesterday! Flying, hitchhiking and insecure cold nights (maybe outside?) are about to come!
We already miss him. In autumn we did a lot of projects together with the teenagers in our youth clubs, such as Halloween parties, lantern workshops, the undergrunn concert, where all the bands from the different clubs played together and now gingerbread baking. Seriously: Christmas is coming way too fast! It feels like we arrived yestderday and now they start preparing the lights in the city centre!
The weather is quite "autumn" now, too. Storms that disconnect us from the WiFi (no joke!), hail, thunderstorms and pouring rain are our daily friends and sometimes we feel like our house would just fly away.
But nevertheless it is beautiful here! We now all work at Folken, which is a concert house, run by students. The work is voluntary as well and a kind of a hobby for us. It is great! Free conncerts, free beer after work, but most of all: 150 other young people being like a huge family! When you work two times a month, you can enter all concerts, so we spend almost 3 nights a week at Folken or just meeting other Folken people in the city centre.
And the darkness is not that bad yet. The sun sets around 4pm, which is like half an hour earlier than in Germany or France. But the shortest days are still about to come, of course!
We also finished our first Norwegian course this week and are now without training until Christmas. We received a nice diploma, even though we do not really feel like having learned enough...
But we will probably start again in January! That would be helping at least since our supervisors said that they will start talking Norwegian with us after Christmas...
We will be so lost ;)
