Tak je tu koniec --- The end is here at last

Ja to tu teda balim. Posledny skolsky tyzden je za mnou a toto je moj posledny prispevok. Budem tu este buduci tyzden, ale sa mi uz nechce pisat. Chcem sa Vam podakovat za pozornost a ze ste to tu so mnou takto rok vydrzali a dufam, ze ste sa nieco nove o Norsku dozvedeli. Nuz ale teda posledny tyzden. V pondelok sme mali skolu - chvilocku. A potom volno az do piatku :-D. V pondelok poobede sa vratila Hilde z USA. Spoluziacky, kamarati a znami jej doma pripravili prekvapenie. Mnohi plakali od stastia a bolo vela zvitani. V utorok a stredu som hral golf. V stredu vecer bola skolska slavnost pri prilezitosti ukoncenia skolskeho roka. Bol prenajaty kulturny dom v Jordet - asi 15 km od centra Trysilu. Takze som bol tam a domov som sa zviezol s Linusom a Håvardom asi o 1:00. Vo stvrtok som si pozariadoval zopar veci a v piatok vysvedcenie. Zlepsenie oproti minulemu roku. 4 z novej norstiny, 5ky z ustnej a pisomnej norstiny, pisomnej anglictiny a telesnej. Inac 6ky. Takze dobre. Po odovzdani vysvedceni sme sa presu nuli do haly kde bol pripraveny program. Zo skoly som si isiel zatrenovat na golf, kedze som v sobotu hral juniorsky turnaj B-,C-,D-Tour. Islo to dost zle, takze som sa obaval ze spravim klubu hanbu, ale v sobotu to az take zle nebolo. Ja s mojim HCP 26,5 som bol zaradeny do C-Tour. Hralo sa systemom Stableford (na body) 1 kolo. Prisli juniori z niektorych okolitych klubov ako Rena a Hamar a dokopy nas bolo asi 31 - 12 v mojej kategorii. Hral som s 2 12-rocnymi chlapcami, jeden lepsi odo mna a druhi horsi. Nemali sme navzajom ziadne problemy, takze sa islo velmi dobre. Prvu deviatku som zahral vyborne s asi 3 parmi a s 21 STB som lezal na 2. mieste. Na 10 jamke som dal chip-in na birdie ale potom mi pomaly odisla hra so zelezami a trapil som sa az do konca. Konecny vysledok 34 STB stacil na 4. miesto. Som to pokaslal, ale co uz... Aspon som dostal peknu siltacku namiesto pohara :-D. Vecer boli pozvani ku nam Cech Tomas s manzelkou Ingvild a detmi. Posedeli sme spolu zo hodinku zo dve, dopozeral som futbal a siel spat.Zaspal som asi okolo 2:00. Neviem ci to bolo kavou alebo tym svetlom vonku :-P. V nedelu rano som si s Linusom siel zahrat golf a vecer som mal goodbye party. Grilovali sme vonku a upiekol som kolac, ktory celkom nedrzal pokope, ale chutil dobre :-D. Zahrali sme volejbal a potom aj biliard. Zopar z nich este uvidim, kym odijdem. Nechce sa mi odist... Buduci tyzden pojdeme pozriet Evinu rodinu na zapadne pobrezie Norska, kde som bol v aprili. Dufam ze nam pocasie vyjde. A v sobotu letim do tepla. Tak toto bol moj rok v Norsku.


I am finished with this. The last school week is behind me and this is my last post. I am going to be here next week as well but I do not want to write more. I want to than you for your attention and hope that you learned something new about Norway. But back to my last week. We were at school for a while on Monday and then came we back to school first on Friday. Hilde arrived home after a year in Chicago and her friends organized a surprise party for her. There were lots of tears and hugs... I played golf on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday evening, there was a school party in Jordet - 15 km from the city centre. So I was there and got a lift back home from Linus and Håvard at 1 am. On Thursday I fixed a couple of things and on Friday was the last day at school. My school report was not so bad - 4 from New Norwegian and 5 from written and oral Norwegian, written English and PE. Otherwise 6. After we got our school reports we went to the gym hall where the teachers arranged a program for us. After the school I went to practice golf as I played a junior tournament B-,C-,D-Tour on Saturday. My play was very bad so I was afraid that I was going to be a shame for the club but I did not play so bad on Saturday. I played in C-Tour as I have HCP 26,5. We played 18 holes with Stableford. There were 31 participants,12 in my category, mostly from the golf clubs in the vicinity like Rena and Hamar. I played with 2 12-year old boys - one better nad one worse than me. We did not argue during the round so the atmosphere was very good between us. I played the front 9 very well with maybe 3 pars. With 21 STB I was on the 2. place. Then I birdied the 10th hole but afterwards I had problems with my long play and struggled to get some points. The final result of 34 points was enough for the fourth place. I blew it but I can not do anything about it now... And I got a cap instead of a cup :-D. In the evening, Thomas and Ingvild with their children were invited to us. We were drinking coffee and speaking for two hours. Then I watched the rest of the soccer match and went to sleep. I fell asleep first at 2:00. I do not know if it was because of the coffee or the light outside :-P. On Sunday I played golf with Linus and there was a goodbye party in the evening. We were grilling and I baked a cake. I did not succeed but it tasted very good:-D. We played also volleyball and billiard. Next week we are going to visit Eva's family on Norwegian west coast. I was there in april. I hope the weather is going to be good. And on Saturday I am flying back to my warm homeland. Well, this was my year.

Zabavny park Liseberg ma svoj vlastny camping pre hosti / The amusement park of Liseberg has its own camping site.

Vo stvrtok rano sme sli na minigolf / Thursday morning we were playing crazy golf

O 13:00 sme stali pred branami zabavneho parku Liseberg / At 13:00 we were standing in front of the amusement park Liseberg's gates

Na toto sme isli po tom, co sme sa najedli. Museli sme zacat z lahka :-D / We rode on this merry-go-round after we had eaten. We had to take it easy :-)

Balder - najvacsia drevena husenkova draha na svete - aspon myslim teda / Balder - the biggest wooden roller coaster in the world if I remember well

Håvard a Elise sa zabavali. Mne uz ku koncu dna prislo trosku zle :-P / Håvard and Elise had fun. I was a bit sick at the end of the day :-P

Z parku sme sa sli najest do mesta. Mne sa neuslo vela tej vybornej pizze.Ja som si objednal salat ktory bol trocha mensi ako som predpokladal, ale hladny som neodisiel :-D / We went to eat out. I did not eat pizza as I ordered a salat. It was a bit smaller than I had expected but I did not go home hungry :-D.

V piatok rano sme sa vypratali z chatky a sup na vlak... / Friday morning we emptied our cottage and left to the train station...

Nase kupe sa podozrivo rychlo vyprazdnilo... Urcite kvoli tomu ze sa robili fotky s lizatkami asi pol hodinu :-D... / Our compartment became suspicously quick empty... Surely because of taking the photos with lollypops for 30 minutes :-D

A opat v Göteborgu --- In Göteborg again

Co sa tyka skoly, tak tu uz ani nie je o com pisat. V pondelok mi zavolala Elise ze ci sa nechcem pripjoit na trojdnovy vylet do Göteborgu, ktory zorganizoval Håvard. Napadlo ich to v pondelok a mali sme odist v stredu. Tak som rychlo musel zohnat povolenie od STS. Poobede som si siel s Linusom zahrat 9 jamiek. V utorok som si v skole odsedel asi 3 hodiny. V stredu bolo vyhlasenie ustnych skusok. Bola minimalna sanca, ze by nas vytiahli a nastastie sa tak nestalo a o 13:00 sme mohli piati vyrazit do Göteborgu. Fotogaleria v nasledujucom prispevku. Autobus do Osla a vlak do Göteborgu. Vlakom sme vsak dosli len do hranicneho mesta Halden. Tam nam povedali ze su vo Svedsku problemy s tratou a ze musime ist autobusom. Tak sme vystupili a potom nam povedali, ze pojdeme obchadzkou, ale predsa vlakom. Tak sme sli vlakom asi 30 minut. Potom sme zrazu zastali a povedali nam ze doslo k nedorozumeniam a musime sa vratit a predsa ist autobusom. Uzasne :-D... Nikto z nas z toho nebol nadseny, nakolko vo vlaku je to ovela pohodlnejsie, ale co sa da robit. Do Göteborgu sme prisli okolo 23:00. Nastupili sme na elektricku a odviezli sme sa k nasemu "campingu" s nazvom Lisebergsbyn-Kärralund - pomenovaneho podla zabavneho parku, do ktoreho sme sli na druhy den. Dostali sme jednu malu chatku len s kuchynkou a 4 postelami, ale nam to stacilo. Nakolko sme boli 5, obetoval som sa a spal na zemi :-P Esteze mali so sebou karimatku (dufam ze sa to tak vola). Takze sme sa vyspinkali, naranajkovali a sli na recepciu kupit si listky do zabavneho parku Liseberg. Otvaral az o 13:00, takze sme si este sli zahrat minigolf a z tadial peso do parku. Atrakcii bolo vela. Husenkove drahy, kolotoce, megahupacky, veze kde ta na stolicke vyviezli hore a pustili volnym padom dole :-D. Navyse tam bolo este kopu roznych stankov s obcerstvenim a inymi aktivitami. Bol to pekny zazitok, nakolko to bolo po prvy krat. Odisli sme asi o 21:00 a sli sa najest do mesta a domov. V piatok rano sme sa pobalili a nasadli na vlak do Osla. Tentokrat uz vsetko slo pekne. Do Trysilu som prisiel okolo 22:00. Stihol som si pozriet koniec zapasu Holandsko - Francuzsko a siel sa vyspat. Po troch dnoch a 8 hodinovej ceste som to potreboval. V sobotu som si siel zabehat, ucil som sa literaturu, ale inak nic zaujimaveho. V nedelu rano som si pozrel 3 kolo U.S. Open a nasledne siel na golf. Chcel som trenovat, ale trener cislo 2 sa ma spytal ze ci si s nimi nepojdem zahrat. Tak sme zahrali 9 jamiek. Oni pokracovali a ja som siel domov. Vecer som so zopar ludmi z triedy siel k spoluziakovi Hognemu, ktory bol tento rok v Amerike. Tam sme jedli taco a pozreli si Fantom opery. A zajtra zacina posledny skolsky tyzden :-D

There is nothing left to write about the school. On Monday Elise called me and asked if I did not want to join them on a 3-days trip to Göteborg organized by Håvard. They came up with this idea on Monday and we went on Wednesday. So I had to get a permission from STS quite quickly. In the afternoon I played 9 holes with Linus.On Tuesday we had 3 lessons at school. On Wednesday the oral exams were announced. There was only a small chance that we could be picked and it fortunately did not happen so we could travel to Göteborg at 13:00. Photogallery from the trip is in the next post.Bus to Oslo and train to Göteborg. But we had to stop in the border city Halden. We were told that there were problems with the railway on the Swedish side so we had to get out and wait for the bus. Then they told us that everything was OK and we could drove in a different direction to Göteborg. So the train went on the next 30 minutes. Then it stopped and we were told that many misunderstandings had happened so we had to return and take bus. We arrived at Göteborg at 23:00, tired. We took a tram to our "camping place" Lisebergsbyn - Kärralund which is named after the amusement park which we visited the next day. We stayed in a small cabin with kitchen and 4 beds. As we were 5 persons I decided to sleep on the floor. Fortunately they had a camping mat :-D. Next day, we ate the breakfast and went to the reception to buy the tickets to Liseberg. It opened first at 13:00 so we played crazy golf and then walked to the amusement park. There were many attractions. Roller coasters, towers, swings ... It was a nice experience as it was for the first time. We went home at 21:00, had a dinner in the city centre and took tram back to our cabin. Friday morning we packed our things and got on the train to Oslo. This time everything went OK. I arrived at Trysil at 22:00. I watched the rest of the Netherland - France soccer match and went to sleep. I needed it after 3 days and 8-hours journey. On Saturday I was watching the U.S. Open, jogging and learning about the Slovakian literature.Otherwise nothing interesting. On Sunday I watched the 3rd round of U.S.Open and then went to golf course. I wanted to practice but my second trainer called me to play with them. So we played 9 holes. They continued and I went home. In the evening I went with my friends to our classmate Hogne who was in USA this school year. There we ate taco and watched The Phantom of the opera. Tomorrow begins the last school week... :-D

Leto pokracuje --- The summer continues

Minuly tyzden sme si vsetci uzili slnka az az. Teploty skoro 30 stupnov, poriadne sa nedalo ani dychat. V skole uz toho vela nerobime, aspon ti, co maju skusky za sebou. Na nemcine sme hrali nejaku hru a na francuzstine sme sa ucili vonku. Tam nam doniesol jeden ucitel na osviezenie drink na obrazku. Mile mat takych ucitelov na skole:-P. S matematikou sme na tento rok skoncili, takze som siel na golf. Trocha potrenovat a zahrat 9 jamiek. Inac len teplo a slnko. V stredu Eva odletela do USA pozriet Hildu a byt na jej graduation party. Vrati sa vo stvrtok a Hilde v pondelok. Vo stvrtok podvecer som mal golfovy trening a po nom sme s kamaratmi a kamaratkami isli grilovat a kupat sa v rieke.

Voda studena, takze to sme len vbehli a vybehli
:-D. Ale mimo vody dost teplo. Zostali sme asi do 23:30 a potom sa pobrali domov, nakolko pribudalo komarov. Svetla bolo vsak pozehnane. V piatok na francuzstine sme sa po dlhom case opat nieco naucili :-P, potom sme si na dejepise pozreli dokumentarny film a mali 2 hodiny volna, kde sme lezali v skole na travniku a opalovali sa, popripade hrali futbal. Na anglictine sme opat hrali nejaku hru. Konecne mi prisli vysledky Bergenstestu - test norstiny vyssej urovne. Mal som 650 bodov zo 700. Ludia so 700 bodmi sa mozu povazovat za dvojjazycnych, takze som celkom spokojny:-D. Po skole prisli ku mne spoluziaci Håvard a Jan Morten a hrali sme biliard a squash. V sobotu rano som s Johnom, Atlem a ich znamym Henrym (ktory hovori trocha po srbsky, takze to bola sranda sa s nim porozpravat:-D) vytiahnut ryby z rieky. Oni den predtym nasadili do rieky boje so sietami a na druhy den sme boli len chytit ulovok. Dost sa nam to teraz vydarilo. Zo 8 stuk a 3 Corogenus lavaretus (neviem SK nazov - taka obycajna biela ryba velkosti pstruha :-)) Potom som si siel zahrat 18 jamiek - nedarilo sa az tak ale zle to nebolo. Ked som prisiel domov, pozrel som si otvaraci zapas EM Svajciarsko - Cesko. V nedelu som isiel spolu s Håvardovou rodinou do Glomdalsmuseet v Elverume. Jeho otec je tam riaditelom, takze som zobral aj Cesku Lenku a dostali sme podrobnu prednasku. uz cestou do Elverumu mi porozpraval celu vojnovu historiu Norska - ma Master v etnologii, takze sa vyzna v tom co hovori. V muzei sme najprev pozreli vystavy venovane Romom (ano, dobre pocujete, maju o nich vystavy) a somalskych pristahovalcoch. V ten isty den bol v muzei aj zraz veteranov - takze tam bola kopu starych anglickych Vauxhall a Bedford tusim ci ako sa to volalo.

Nasledne nas Jan povodil po skanzene. Maju tam asi 93 starych drevenych domov z tejto oblasti. A vo vacsine nam toho porozpraval naozaj vela. Lepsiu prednasku by nam nespravil ani sprievodca:-). A to bol tak koniec tyzdna.





The last week there was more than enough of sun. Temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, we could not even breathe. We do not do a lot of things at school now, at least the ones who have had exams already. We played a game on German and we learned outside during the French lessons. One teacher served us drinks like the one on the picture. It is nice to have such teachers at school :-P. We are finished with math for this year so I went to play golf. I practiced and played 9 holes. Otherwise just warmth and sun, nothing interesting. On Wednesday Eva went to visit Hilde in Chicago and participate at her graduation party. She comes on Thursday and Hilde on Monday. On Thursday I had a golf practice and then I went grilling and swimming in the river with my friends.

Water was cold so we just jumped in and then ran back again :-D. But it was warm outside. We went home at 23:30 as there were many mosquitos. But there was still a lot of light. Unbelievable. On Friday we learned a lot on the French lesson, we watche a documentary on history lesson and then we were sunbathing outside since we had 2 free lessons. On English we played some game again. I got finally the results of the Bergenstest - the test of Norwegian skill of higher level. I got 650 points out of 700. 700 hundred is a level of a common Norwegian so I am quite content. After the school Håvard and Jan Morten came and we played pool and squash. Saturday morning, I went together with Atle, John and their friend Henry (who speaks a bit Serbian, so it was funny to talk with him..) to take the fish out of the river. The day before, they set up the nets and the next day we just picked up the fishes which got caught. We were quite successful - 8 northern pikes and 3 powans. After that I went to play 18 holes - it did not went well but OK. When I came home I watched the opening match of the soccer EM Switzerland - Czech republic. I went to Glomdalsmuseet in Elverum with Håvard's family on Sunday. His father is a director there so I took Lenka from Czech republic with us and we could not have a better guide. Already on the way to Elverum he told me everything about the WWII in Norway - he's got a Master grade in ethnology so he knows what he is talking about. In the museum we walked through the expositions dedicated to gypsies and immigrants from Somalia. There was also a meeting of owners of old Vauxhall and Bedford cars so there was a lot to see.

After that Jan showed us some of the 93 old wooden houses from the local district. Some of them almost 400 years old. And that was the end of my week.
