CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR




CHRISTMAS

Well well this Christmas was of course the most strange and new, first because is the first time that I am far away from my family country and culture. First as a member of this new family we have to decorate the Juletre “Christmas tree” and what a surprise I had when I realized that the dinner for Christmas was at 6pm, (in Latin America it starts at midnight) so then we open some gifts, I got a Football and a sweeter :) . But what I was really expecting was my hug for Christmas and the toast with any drink screaming “merry christmasss…

But then I just realized that after opening the gift the celebration was over. So I was quite frustrated that I couldn’t say any word and just go to my room and try to think of another thing, this is the celebration here.

But next days were really fun since I was invited for a former student from hald “Tomas, who had the wonderful idea to invite some of his internationals friends so we celebrate in the Norwegian was and then a bit of African culture such as dances and singings, and some Latin music. That was a good idea.




NEW YEAR

Our teacher had the wonderful idea to send us to Lillehammer with Krik. That was perfect because we were going to meet new friends of our age “FINALLY”, well it was not exactly what happened. Well I can say that 89% of all youth were under 18 years old.
And well we just have to try to find some friends there and believe it or not the closest friends that we got there where those ones who don’t speak Norwegian only English, some girls from Australia, China, Brazil, Tanzania and more, well we were as the English group, hahaha
We chosen some sports to do and the sport that I can play in Norway and I have experience (experience was required) was Football, so I played inside football, that was good, we played many matches in those three days.

And when the day of the dinner arrived December 31st we had dinner at 6pm , as usually, but before of that we danced the famous Marsh….. that was first time when I danced that one. Well I got a funny girl who was not shame for speaking English and was 19 , she was called Mishel. .. After we just went to our own place, and at almost midnight we went to the top of one mountain to watch the fire works and that was a double show for me.

SKATING ON ICE

As a good Latin guy I must try everything here in Norway, especially in this cold winter, I said cold because this is my coldest winter in all my life.
So my family invited me to go for skating since the little girl was going with some friends.
When we arrived to the lake I was really exited, so I started to wear those heavy shoes then try to stand up was a whole challenge, then walking, I looked like baby who is learning how to walk. I felt pathetic, but that was worth, at least to try.
Step by step I was moving and moving and when I realized where I was, it was late, I was about to cross the lake, so I just watched everybody walking, running, almost flying, I just tried to do what they were doing.
I was surprised when I found that I was good, I was running, almost flying, but the flight didn’t last so long, I landed in the worst way,… with my nose on the ice.

Well then I just stopped running so fast and started walking, so I just imagine, if that happened skating, what about snowboarding and skiing, LES’T SEE.

A normal day in BARNEHAGE

Well it could be hard to summarize all my work in one page,

But I can start saying that the first week in BARNEHAGE was extremely tired, after every day there I was so exhausted.


But the question may be what do I do there to get exhausted?. Well the answer is really easy,,,
I play all the whole day, and even it seems easy, it’s not. Being a child is not easy.

First I arrive saying “Halo” and every body scream “Nagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibb” of course each one in a particular own way such as Majib, Angib, Anjib, etc. but all of them mean the same, then some of them run to me. And we star playing, I can tell some tales even I don’t know Norwegian they look as the tale is really interesting, so I go ahead.

We play with every kind of puzzles, till one of the teacher says: “Vi skal rydde” so that means that it is time to clean up, and we go to sing some songs and to listen some tales told by some of the teachers, getting ready to “Vaske hånd” and go to eat.
This is my favorite part, because now I can speak some word in Spanish,
I can say like , vil du ha vann eller melk ? And then i change it to , vil du ha “agua” eller “leche”? And you know something? They remember those words now.



After this beautiful moment we go outside “ yeeeeeeeessssssss” so we have to put the Rein Klær on, and again they start a concert saying “ Nagiiiiiib , kan du hjelpe meg?
After half an hour or more we finally go outside, and we start running, biking, and particularly me, I start escaping from all the children who run behind of me... After a short time I fall saying “JEG ER SLITEN” so I have 5 minutes for resting.















. Then we start cleaning up, and go to eat. Now when we are a bit tired they start playing and one child by one is leaving with the mom or dad and start another single concert





“HA DET BRA” “HA DET FINT”.. and we finish a normal day like that.
