Tak vcera prisli Eva s Johnom z Elverumu a doniesli biliardovy stol:-) Doteraz sme mali len taky maly, co sa dalo tazko prirovnat k biliardu. Tento stol neni uplne echt, je troska nizsi, ale da sa na tom hrat celkom v pohode. Eva do mna v kuse hustila, ze by som mal pozvat nejakych kamaratov domov na film, ze rok je kratky, a ze tu je to obvykle, tak ma nakoniec prehovorila. Tak som spravil dve pizze a o 7mej vecer prislo asi sest spoluziakov a spoluziaciek. Je to sranda, ze je to viac ako na mojich dvoch narodeninovych oslavach pred par rokmi, kde som vzdy skoncil s jednym clovekom:-):-):-) Tak sme si pozreli Starsky and Hutch - vyborna komedia - a zahrali biliard. V noci sa posuvali hodiny, takze som sa vyspal o hodinu dlhsie, no nejaky vyrazny rozdiel som nepocitil. Stale sa presviedcam o tom, ako sa to tu vsetko amerikanizuje. Sackove polievky, predmrazene pizze, elektricky struhac zeleniny - na to nie som zvyknuty. A ked som dnes videl Atleho ako si vybera stred jablka takou vecou, to ma uz uplne dorazilo. To sme uz taky zaneprazdneny, ze nemame cas ani obhryzavat a zahodit ohryzok? John mi opravil esej na norstinu, tak hadam dostanem dobru znamku. Este sa musim naucit prezentaciu na anglictinu na zajtra. Inac tu prsi a fuka, takze von by ma vyhnal len poziar... Pekny zvysok vikendu.

Eva and John came yesterday and brought a pool table. We had a small one before but it couldn't be actually compared to a pool table. This one isn't an ordinary one as well, bit low, but it is better. Eva was persuading me over weeks to invite some friends home to watch a film. "Year is short, this is common here". So I baked pizza and at 7 o'clock maybe 6 classmates came. Funny. It is more than on my 2 birthday parties a couple of years ago where I ended up with one guest:-):-):-) We watched Starsky and Hutch - brilliant comedy - and played pool. The time changed during the night so I could sleep an hour longer. Honestly, I did not feel any difference. I am still experiencing here a strong american influence on culture. Powder soups, frozen pizzas, electric vegetable cutter - this is something I am not used to. John corrected my Norwegian essay so it looks like I could get a good grade. I just have to practice the oral presentation. The wind is blowing and it is raining. I won't go out unless in case of fire... Have a nice rest of the weekend

OD dagen

Tak sa po tyzdni opat hlasim. Mal som celkom v pohode tyzden. Na norstine nam chybal ucitel, takze som nemusel pisat esej doma, ale mohol som to spravit v skole. To je tu inac velmi caste, ze ked chyba ucitel, tak necha ziakom robotu a pracuju samostatne. Samozrejme ze nie vsetci pracuju...:-) Na nemcine sa uz vazne zacina zaoberat vyletom do Mönchen Gladbachu. Ucitel v stredu letel do Nemecka a mal by nam zohnat mailove adresy rodin, do ktorych pojdeme. A este sa mame rozhodnut, ze ci by sme chceli ist do zabavneho parku alebo radsej na zapas Bundesligy. Apropo, nemcina. Uz aj John, ako ucitel, sa stazoval, ze deti sa tu neucia ziadnu gramatiku. Neviem ako tu mozu mat take ucebne osnovy. Som videl jeden kratky clanok, co napisal Atle o lenochodovi. Niektore slova boli mne uplne nezname ale gramatika bola..., ako by nasa nemcinarka povedala - Madar Monda. Takze to bude sranda v Nemecku. Ale vsak sa nejako dohovorime... Konecne nam otvorili plavaren. Bazen ma sice asi iba 12 m, ale je to lepsie ako nic. Tak som sa presiel do mesta, zaplaval a siel naspat. V utorok bol tzv. internasjonal dag. Organizacia OD organizuje raz za rok akcie, kde informuju studentov o nedostatku financii pre skoly v strednej Amerike alebo inych castiach sveta. Tento rok bola tema globalne oteplovanie. My to tu pocitime len oteplenim o par stupnov, ale tam to so sebou prinasa zaplavy a hurikany. Po tejto prednaske sme mali rozne aktivity v telocvicni. Potom sme mali asi hodinu volno, tak som dokoncil esej. Po prestavkesme uz mali vyucovanie. Akurat to vyslo na matiku. Opat sme sa zaoberali statistikou a prieskumami. Za minuly prieskum dostala nasa skupina 3\4. Ze vraj sme toho nemali dost. Mozno som si mal predsa zvolit tazsiu matematiku. Vecer som si bol este zabehat a siel spat. V stredu sme mali pathodinovku sociologie. Odprezentovali sme nas prieskum o pouzivani SMS, TV a internetu. Celkom sa to ucitelovi pozdavalo, takze fajn. Vecer na plavarni som uz dostal lacnejsiu vstupenku. Plavcik si myslel ze uz mam 18, takze minule som musel zaplatit 40 NOK. 20 NOK je dobra cena. Stvrtok bol OD den. Studenti si mohli zohnat nejaku pracu a zarobit si nou 300 NOK, ktore sa potom poslu na vzdelanie deti do Nikaraguy. Tak som doma povysaval a navaril veceru. Heslo dna je: "Obetujme jeden den z nasho vzdelania pre vzdelanie deti v strednej Amerike". Ja by som obetoval aj cely tyzden:-P V piatok sme mali poslednu hodinu telesnej so studentami z Elverumu. Celkom dobre vedia viest hodiny, takze sa clovek nenudi. Na anglictine sme dali s Kirillom dokopy ustny projekt a v pondelok prezentujeme o Apartheide. Tym sa mi skoncil skolsky tyzden. Popoludni som si este zabehal do mesta a spat a vecer som si pozrel jednu norsku ciernobielu komediu z 50 rokov. Hrozne zabavna. Svojim sposobom to bol dost zastaraly humor, ale pacilo sa mi to.

So I am back again after a week. It was quite good. Our Norwegian teacher wasn't at school so I could write one essay at school, not at home. it is quite common here, that a teacher lets the students work on their own. Of course not everybody is working:-) We are gradually planning the trip to Mönchen Gladbach on German lessons. Our teacher flew to Germany and he should get us the e-mail adresses of families we will be staying in And we should decide, wether we want to go to an entertaining park with lots of roller-coasters or to the Bundesliga match. By the way, German language. Even John, as a teacher, is not satisfied with the way the students are being taught. No grammar. I have seen one German text written by Atle. Some of the words I did not know but the grammar was terrible. So it will be fun in Germany. But we can make it... The swimming hall is opened now so I visited it on monday. Tuesday was The international day. There is an organization called OD, which informs the students every year about the children in the poor parts of the world, which have problems to get proper education. This year is the main topic glasshouse effect. We can experience it only with the slight change of temperature but it is a disaster for people in Middle America - floods and hurricanes. After the presentation we took part in a variety of different activities. Then we had a break so I finished my Norwegian essay and after that we had math. We learned again about surveys and statistics. I should have chosen the more difficult level of math. In the evening I went jogging and then to sleep. On wednesday we had 5 lessons of sociology. We presented our survey about the use of TV,internet and SMS. Our teacher liked it so that's fine. IN the evening I went to swim again. I managed to get children ticket. The guy there thought I was 18 the last time I was there. 20 NOK is a better price. Thursday was OD day. Every student could find a job and earn 300 NOK for the education of the Nikaragua's children. So i was hoovering and prepared dinner. The motto is: " Sacrifice one day of your education for the education of children in Middle America". I would sacrifice even a whole week :-P. On Friday we had the last PE lesson with students from Elverum. They will be very good teachers later. I finished with Kirill the oral presentation about Apartheid and we are going to present it on Monday. That was the end of my school week. In the afternoon I went jogging and then I watched a Norwegian black-white comedy from the 50's. Very funny. It was kind of an old-fashioned humour but i really liked it

Pohlad zhora na kusok mesta a Oslofjord.

The view from above of the town and Oslofjord

Skokansky mostik Holmenkollen. Asi najvacsia atrakcia Osla.

Ski jumping facility Holmenkollen. Maybe the most visited sight in Oslo

Slott - zamok. Sidlo norskych kralov a kralovien, princov a princezien. Na 17.5. ked je Den Ustavy, stoja na balkone a zdravia sa ludu.

Slott - the castle. The mansion of Norwegian kings and queens, princes and princesses. On the 17.5., The day of constitution, they stand on the balcony and greet the people

Kusok z budovy Stortingetu. Tu sa stretavaju vsetci norski papalasi a rokuju

A piece from Stortinget. This is the meeting place of all the politicians

Oslo

Tak som sa konecne dostal do Osla. Oslo lezi v juznej casti Norka na konci Oslofjordu. Do roku 1805 sa volalo Kristiania, ale potom sa Nori odtrhli od Danska, vytvorili Uniu so Svedmi a premenovali hlavne mesto. Autobus mi odchadzal 7:30 a o tri a pol hodiny som uz prichadzal do Osla. Je dobre, ze Trysilekspress chodi niekolkokrat denne a prechadza aj cez letisko, cim sa doprava nan alebo do Osla ulahcuje. Ked clovek prijde do Osla, naskytne sa mu krasny pohlad. Centrum mesta v kotline, vsade naokolo domy v lese na ubociach a more, ktore sa taha cez fjord niekde do dialky. Na stanici si ma vyzdvihla moja area representative Sabine. Je to Nemka z Rostocku, ktora studuje skandinavistiku a uz tri roky zije v Osle, kde pracuje pre STS a uci Norov pracujucich pre LIDL po nemecky. Videl som celkom dost z Osla v ten den. Najprv sme prechadzali cez Karl Johans gate, ktora vedie az ku palacu. Ukazali mi sidlo STS v jednej z bocnych uliciek. Koncom decembra alebo v januari by mali mat vsetci zahranicni studenti z Norska stretavku. Je tam vela Nemcov tento rok. Skoncil som celkom na dobrom mieste. Jedna je v Stavangeri a druha az na Lofotach. Budu mat peknu zimu:-) Na celej ulici bolo mnoho poulicnych spevakov a umelcov, ktory si privyrabali svojim umenym. Jeden tam zongloval futbalovou laptou s barlami a hlavou. Z Karl Johans gate sme odbocili do jednej ulicky a vosli do narodnej galerie. Ja velmi muzea a galerie nemusim, ale tato bola vyborna. Norske obrazy su podmanujuce. Umelci dokazali presne zachytit prirodu a vyzeralo to skoro tak dobre ako na fotkach. Ale aj abstraktne a modernisticke obrazy od norskych maliarov boli zaujimave. Okrem tychto sa tam nachadzali aj obrazy mnohych znamych autorov ako Manet, Cezanne. Mali tam dokonca autoprtret Van Gogha. Jedna cela miestnost bola venovana norskemu najvacsiemu maliarovi Edvardovi Munchovi. Jeho obrazy boli .... zvlastne. Take Lynchovske. Potom sme si zvonku pozreli Stortinget, sidlo norskeho parlamentu, Slott, sidlo kralovskej rodiny, narodne divadlo a pristav. Nasledne sme zacali hladat nejaku restauraciu, lebo sme boli dost hladni. Tak mi to pripada, ze Nori v sobotu nevaria, ale chodia do restauracii:-) Nakoniec sme predsa len nasli jednu volnu cinsku. Ptom sme nasadli na metro a vyviezli sme sa cez les popri domcekoch z O m na asi 400 m.n.m k Hollmenkollenu. Je to skokansky mostik, kde sa sutazilo pocas OH '52. Z tadial sme sli hore hore kopcom k jednemu "salasu" odkadial sa nam skytal krasny vyhlad na cele mesto a more. O kusok vyssie bola stanica metra, z kadial sme sa zviezli dole na stanicu, aby som este stihol bus naspat. Vratil som sa asi o desiatej, zjedol zvysky soba, lebo som od obeda nejedol a siel spat.

So I finally visited Oslo. Oslo lies at the end of Oslofjord in the southern part of Norway. Until 1905, it was called Kristiania, but then they formed The Union with Sweden and renamed the city. The bus left 7:30. It is good, that Trysilekspress leaves many times a day and goes also through the airport, so it is easy to come there or to Oslo. We entered Oslo after 3,5 hours driving and it was a magnificient view. City centre in the valley surrounded by hills covered with trees and houses and Oslofjord making it's way to the south. On the busstation I was picked by my area representative Sabine. She comes from Rostock, Germany and is studying scandinavistic. She's been living in Oslo for 3 years now. She works for STS student agency and also teaches the Norwegians, who work for LIDL, German. We went up the Karl Johans gate, which was full of street artists. One guy was juggling with football helping himself with head and crunches. Sabine showed me the office of STS. Every foreign student from STS in Norway is invited to a meeting in the end of December or in January. There are many Germans here this year. I found out, that Trysil is quite a good place, some of the students ended in Stavanger or in The Lofotes. I wish them a nice winter:-) Then we turned into one street and went in the Natinal Gallery. I do not usually like museums and galleries, but this one was awesome. Both pictures from nature and modernistic pictures from Norwegian authors were very interesting and not boring. There was one room only with Edvard Munch's paintings. He was the greatest Norwegian painter. His paintings were, ehm....... strange. Kind of David Lynch's movies. Then we got out and we visited Stortinget, the building of parliament, Slott, the estate of the royal family, National theatre and sea shore. After that we tried to find a restaurant, but it looked like all the Norwegians eat out on Saturdays. Finally we managed to find one chinese restaurant. After the lunch we took the tube and went 400 m higher to Holmenkollen. This was the place for skijumpers during the OG '52. Then we went up and up and were rewarded with a great view over the city. We took the tube back so I managed to take the bus home at 18:20. I returned at 22:00, ate the rests of moose and went to sleep.

Opat do skoly --- To school again

A mame tu opat skolu. Prvy den hned hned od 8:50 do 15:50, takze vecer som skoncil unaveny, so zlou naladou a bolestami hlavy. Alergicka reakcia asi :-P. Vecer som isiel do mesta a tesil som sa, ze konecne nam otvorili plavarnu. Som sa troska sekol. Normalne ju sice otvaraju po prazdninach, ale tento rok je to az o tyzden neskor. To mi na nalade nepridalo. Zaujimave, ze zrazu mam na vsetko dost casu, co som na Slovensku nemal. Ale ked sa tu nic neda robit, tak je to blbe. Vecer som si pozrel jede norsky film, aby som trocha odreagoval a rano to uz bolo so mnou v pohode. Na matematike sme mali novu ucitelku. Teraz neviem, ci len zastupovala. Ucitel kedysi davnejsie spomenul, ze sa vrati do Bergenu, ale stale ho vidim v skole. Clovek oceni stareho ucitela, az ked dostane horsieho:-) To je vzdy tak. Esteze robime nieco so statistikou a nemusime pocitat ziadne priklady. Aspon zatial. Ale ta ucitelka mi nie je velmi sympaticka. V stredu sme mali stvorhodinovku anglictiny. Mame si pripravit oral project na nejaku temu, co sa tyka Commonwealthu a multikulturalizmu. Tak spolupracujem s Kirillom, Rus, ktory uz pat rokov zije v Norsku, na Apartheide. Vacsinu som uz dokoncil pocas prazdnin, takze uz robim len nejake male upravy. Na sociologii zase robime prieskum na pouzivanie SMS, internetu a TV roznymi vekovymi skupinami. Mali sme dost problem, lebo sme si danu vekovu skupinu rozdelili na dost podskupin a nejak sme nemali pat odpovedi v kazdej skupine. Tak sme sa museli uchylit k metode vypln-si-to-sam.:-) Vacsina vyplnenych dotaznikov je vsak od druhych ludi.
V Osle doslo ku kontaminacii pitnej vody, tak si ju teraz musia prevarit, predtym nez ju mozu pit:-) Dufam, ze sa to nerozsiri aj sem.
Bush opat prejavuje svoju neschopnost riesit problemy inou cestou ako vojenskou a varuje pred tretou svetovou. Inac mam pocit, ze nejak velmi rastie medzinarodne napatie. Ak by nedajboze k niecomu takemu doslo, tak vopred oznamujem ze ihned ziadam o Norske obcianstvo a stahujem sa:-)
Na veceru sme mali sobie steaky. trocha ma prekvapilo, ze ich jedia studene. Ze vraj pokial ostatne je teple, tak to nevadi. Maso celkom dobre, ale bez vyraznejsej chuti. Eva povedala, ze los je omnoho chutnejsi.
Vo stvrtok sme dokoncili projekt na sociologii, caka nas uz iba prezentacia na buduci tyzden.
V piatok som si konecne kupil teply obed. Tu je to fajn, ze sa moze jest aj na hodinach, inac by som sa asi nenajedol:-) Na telesnej sme mali basketbalove cvicenia a potom samotnu hru. Aj ked ma basketbal nebavi, toto bola celkom sranda. Este chvilu oddychnem a zajtra sa ide do Osla

New week begins. First day after holidays a full day from 8:50 - 15:50 at school. I came home tired, bad-tempered and with head aches. Allergic reaction :-P. It is strange, that suddenly I have a lot of free time here. I did not have much of it in Slovakia. But if there is nothing to do, it is not a big advantage. In the evening I walked to the town, I was looking forward to the opening of the swimming hall. I was desperate, when I found out on next day, that it is opening next week. This information did not cheer me up. In the evening I watched a film to forget life for a while and next day was everything okay. We got a new teacher for math. You appreciate an old teacher just after you get a worse one:-) It is always so. But maybe she was just substituting. Our teacher said he was about to go back to Bergen but I can still see him in school. She is quite strict.At least we are doing something with statistics, so it is easy. On wednesday we had 4 lessons English. We are preparing an oral project about free-picked topic concerning Commonwealth and multiculturalism. I am working with Kirill, a Russian who has been living i Norway for 5 years, on Apartheid. I have already done everything so I am just editing it a bit.
On sociology lessons we are busy with survey about the use of TV,SMS and internet in various age groups. We had a small problem: to get the same number of answers from both men and women in every group. So we had to use the fill-it-out-yourself method now and then:-)
The drink water in Oslo area has been contaminated with some kind of bacteria, so they have to cook the water now:-) I hope that it will not come here.
Bush's character quality of solving the problems with violence is coming up again and he is warning before the WWIII. I think the tension between nations is quite rapidly growing. If it happened, I would probably immediately ask for a Norwegian citizenship and moved:-)
We had moose steaks for the dinner. Quite a good meat, but without taste. Eva said the reindeer's meat was much tastier.
On thursday we finished the project on sociology and now we only have to present it next week.
On friday I finally bought a warm lunch. It is good, that you can eat during the lessons because otherwise I would not have time to eat. We did some basketball excercices and play on the PE. Although I do not like basketball, this was quite funny. I will now relax a bit and tomorrrow I am going to Oslo

Na druhy den sa nam konecne vycasilo. Ten neodhrabany sneh trosku cez noc primrzol, takze som sa skoro zabil, ked som isiel na postu:-) Ale roztopil sa poobede. Na obed sme mali risgrøt - ryzovu kasu. Typicke Norske zimne jedlo. Vyzera to ako nice medzi haluskami a krupicovou kasou. Ryza sa vyvari v osolenej vode spolu s mliekom a potom sa to da do tepla do truby, aby sa nejake to mlieko vyparilo a nadobdlo to tu spravnu hustotu. Potom to jedia s roztopenym maslom, cukrom a skoricou. Celkom fajn, aj ked to musis poriadne ocukrit, aby to bolo sladke. Jedle, ale ze by som tuzil to mat castejsie, asi nie... Ze vraj niektore rodiny to jedia kazdu sobotu. Po obede ( ktory bol o pol piatej ) sme sa vybrali do bowling centra, kde teraz pracuje Hildin priatel Joakim. Maju asi styri drahy, takze ziadne velke centrum, ale na rozptylenie postaci. Prvu rundu som zahral dost zle. Potom som si vsimol, ze to chytam nespravnymi prstami a hned to islo rovnejsie:-) Vecer sme si upiekli pizzu a sadli pred TV. Poslal som SMS mojej area representative, ktora je za mna zodpovedna pocas mojho pobytu, lebo sa mi mala ozvat tento tyzden, ze kedy sa cez vikend stretneme, no neozvala sa. Na druhy den som dostal SMS, ze je velmi zaneprazdnena, takze sme sa dohodli na buducu sobotu. Takze sa pojdem popozerat po Osle.

On the next day, the weather was much better. The unshovelled snow froze during the night, so I almost killed myself on it as I went to the post. :-) But it melted itself in the afternoon. I had risgrøt for lunch - rice porridge. Nothing bad, but not very good. It was edible. It is a typical winter meal for Norwegians. Some families eat it every Saturday. The rice is cooked in the boiling salted water mixed with milk. Then it is set in the oven to gain the right density. After that you eat it with sugar, melted butter and cinammon. You have to use quite a lot of sugar ot make it taste sweet. After the lunch ( which we had at 16:30 ) we went to the bowling center, where Hilde's boyfriend Joakim works. I played the first round quite badly and then I saw, that I am holding the ball with wrong fingers:-) It was rolling much more straighter after re-gripping:-) In the evening we baked pizza and sat in front of telly. I sent an SMS to my area representative, who is responsible for me during the stay, because she wanted to meet me this weekend, but she had not called me. In the morning I got a message, that she was busy. So we are meeting next Saturday in Oslo.

Prazdniny pokracuju - The holiday goes on

No tak nam opat nasnezilo. Teraz uz trosku viac ako minule. Domaci sa spoliehaju na to, ze sa to roztopi, takze som zatial nemusel odhadzovat. Kazdopadne sa snehu tesim. Kedze je golf zatvoreny, co ine mi ostava. Kanony na zjazdovkach zacali pracovat a sezona by sa mala zacat 27.10. Vytecne, to je zachvilu. V takomto pocasi sa velmi von ist neda, takze dni travim tak pracovne-oddychovo. Povodne som chcel ist do Lillehammeru - je tam Maihaugen, co je nieco ako Vlkolinec. No domaca ma prehovorila, ze je tam lepsie zajst v lete, ked su tie domceky aj otvorene. Troska som sa ponoril do norskej zabavy. Nori maju dost specificky humor. Nesnazia sa byt za kazdu cenu vtipny a humor davkuju v tej spravnej miere. Niektore zabavne serialy je radost pozerat... V stredu mala Eva narodeniny, takze bol dom plny Norov, ale aj vybornych kolacov:-) Opat som sa presvedcil, ze pit kavu na vecer sa nevyplaca a clovek len tak jednoducho nezaspi, aj ked je unaveny.


Well, it snowed again. This time heavier than last time. My new parents think, that it will melt soon, so I did not have to shovel it this time. But I am really glad, that the snow came. As the golf course is closed, it is really the only thing I can look forward to. The skiing season should start on the 27th of October if the temperature is good. I am spending these holidays in a work - rest way. In this weather there is not much to do. I wanted to go to Lillehammer - there is an old Norwegian village with wooden houses called Maihaugen. But Eva told me, that it would be better to go there in the summer, when the houses are opened. I got to know the Norwegian humour closely. They do not want to be funny all the time and they serve the humour very carefully. Some entertaining series are really funny. On Wednesday was Eva's birthday, so we had a full house of Norwegians but also of delicious cakes:-) I experienced again, that drinking coffe in the evening is not a good idea if you want to fall asleep.

Vsade ludoprazdno. Na celej ceste som stretol mozno 2 ludi a iba niekolko aut.

No sign of people. I passed by only maybe 2 people and a few cars.

Riecka pri ceste

River by the road

Sykkeltur

Tak mi zacali prazdniny. Cez vikend domaca Eva spomenula, ze Per Gjermund ( ten, co s nim hravam tenis a ktory vlastni obchod s bicyklami ) bol na cykloture okolo hory. Tak som si povedal, ze nebudem sediet doma cez prazdniny, navyse ked nebolo az tak zle pocasie. Ked mi Eva ukazovala na mape cestu, tak som zistil, ze to nie je tento vrch, co mame pred domom, ale druhy, trocha vzdialenejsi. Perovi Gjermundovi to ze vraj zaberie tak 3 hodiny, takze mne by to malo zabrat kusok viac. Ak by som ju zvladol. Tak som sa naobliekal, zabalil jedlo a vydal sa na cestu. Bol to taky isty hlupy napad ako s tym joggingom. Zajtra asi nebudem moct chodit. Ale samozrejme ze ja nemozem doma obsediet. Najprv som bicykloval po normalnej asfaltke, ale potom sa uz konci a namiesto nej je len utlacena hlina so strkom. Tak som sa postupne stveral do kopca. Hore, hore, hore potom kusok dole a opat hore, hore, hore. Este ze som mal dost jedla. Fukal mi proti vietor, takze to bolo dost obtiazne. Prechadzal som postupne roznymi castami Trysilu. Tak nejak by mal vyzerat koniec sveta :-) Dedinka uprostred lesa s 5 domcekmi nejakou farmou a potom niekolko dalsich kilometrov nic a tak sa to opakovalo. Po troch hodinach a 35 km som sa dostal asi do polovice cesty. Ked som videl, ze by som este musel slapat do kopca, tak som sa radsej najedol a otocil to tou istou cestou naspat. Uz som dalej nemohol, ak by som nechcel, aby som musel niekde prenocovat :-) Navyse zacalo posnezovat. Cesta naspat zabrala iba jeden a pol hodiny. Tak si nejak predstavujem cykloturu - z kopca alebo na rovinke :-) Kazdopadne som bol rad, ked som konecne dorazil. Na obed som si dal tresku so zemiakmi a siel si na hodinku lahnut.

It is my first holiday day. In the weekend Eva mentioned, that Per Gjermund ( the owner of the bike shop and tennis player ) went cycling round the mountain. So I decided, that I should try it. Especially, when the weather was not so bad. When Eva showed me the way on the map I realized that it is around another mountain. In spite of this I decided to try it. I put on warm clothes, packed some food and set off for the trip. After a few kilometres I was cycling on the road, which was only pressed soil and gravel. So I was cycling up,up,up and down and again up. Furthermore, the wind was blowing against me, so it was quite annoying, when I was cycling up the hill. I was passing through the parts of Trysil. It was the end of the world :-) Villages with one farm and 5 houses in the middle of forest. After 3 hours and 35 km I was quite exhausted.

And as I saw that I have to go more up the hill I gave up. I ate the rest of food and turned back. It started to snow a bit. The way home took only 1,5 hours. It was better - going down the hill or cycling on the flat surface:-) I was very happy when I came back home. I will probably not be able to walk properly tomorrow. I really enjoyed the nap afterwards.

Sigrid s novymi okuliarmi :-)

Rodinne stretnutie.

Family meeting

Posledny tyzden pred prazdninami --- The last week before holiday

Tak sa mi uz blizia prazdniny. V pondelok sme sa na norstine zacali zaoberat nynorskou variantou norstiny. No je to sranda. Su tam ine koncovky a niektore slova su podobne. Moja domaca je velka odporkyna nynorsku. Ze ,,preco sa musime ucit jazyk, ktorym hovori mozno 10 percent obyvatelstva''. Nuz, Nori maju smolu, ze maju dva spisovne jazyky. Ked si v tom nevedia spravit poriadok, tak nech sa ucia :-). Na anglictine sme zacali pozerat Blafuj ako Beckham, pretoze sa zaoberame problemami multikulturalizmu. Dievca, ktore je vychovane v rodine, ktorej nabozenstvom je sikhizmus, zacne hravat futbal, co sa samozrejme nepaci jej rodicom. Celkom fajn komedia. Vecer sme vecerali u Johnovej mamy, ktora byva hned vedla nas. Bolo to take rodinne stretnutie. Prisla jej sestra aj s manzelom, synom a jeho manzelkou a dvoma vnucatami. Spytali sa ma, ze ci mam rad krevety, a ked som im povedal ze nie, tak ma posadili k detskemu stolu. Grrr. To som tam dlho nevydrzal, a tak som sa rozhodol, ze radsej vyskusam, ci mi krevety nezacnu chutit. A zacali. Ludia to tam jedia s namaslovenym kuskom chleba, majonezou a citronom. Je to take francuzske jedlo, lebo viac casu stravis ich lupanim ako jedenim. Tak som sa hrajkal s odtrhovanim hlaviciek a chvostikov a ocistenim zvyskov.

V stredu sme mali stvorhodinovku norstiny a mali sme pisomne ulohy. Mali sme porovnat predoslu skolu s touto, napisat kratky pribeh, ktory mal obsahovat urcite slova, opisat dej nejakej knihy s lubostnou tematikou a este nieco, co si uz nepamatam. A v nynorsku. Nastastie mi ucitel dovolil pisat v bokmåle, inac by som mal dost velky problem. Tak som nieco vyplodil, uvidim, ci sa to bude pacit. Zo skoly som si isiel zahrat kratke jamky.

Stvrtok bol velmi zaujimavy. Po vyucovani ze idem na golf, vyjdem zo skoly a nevidim si bicykel. Tak som tam asi 5 minut behal, ze ci to vazne tam nie je. Nebol. Tu v Norsku som si odnaucil zamykat bicykel. Som si nejak zvykol, ze tu sa nekradne. Aspon nie v Trysile. Tak som sa isiel spytat, ze co teraz. Povedali mi, ze si ho mozno len niektori studenti pozicali, aby isli dolu do mesta a ze ho vratia. Ale ze ak nie, tak mam kontaktovat policiu. U skolnika som sa pytal, ze ci niekoho nevidel. Povedal ze hej, ale ze si uz nepamata a ze mam pockat, mozno ze sa vratia z mesta. Tak som sa rozhodol zajst do mesta a prist naspat neskor. Uz som sa zmieroval s tym, ze ten bicykel uz neuvidim. Ale povedal som si, ze ak ho najdem, tak tomu cloveku nieco poviem. A velmi pekne to nebude. Asi o tridsat sekund nato som ich stretol na ceste z mesta. Mali stastie, ze som tak kludny clovek. Ani vynadat som im nedokazal. :-( Tak ked sa to uz konecne vsetko vyriesilo, isiel som si zahrat 9 jamiek. V nedelu nam zatvaraju, tak som chcel este vyuzit posledne dni. Celkom to aj islo. Ked ma clovek rovne drivey, tak to ide lahsie.

V piatok sme na telesnej dostali na tri tyzdne novych ucitelov - studentov z Elverumu. Robili sme vselijake stafety. Nebolo to zle, ale myslim si, ze by sa to viac hodilo pre mladsie deti. Na anglictine sme dopozerali film, isiel som domov a z tadial na golf. V piatok to uz tak dobre neslo - krive drivey.

V sobotu rano sme zasli do opravovne bicyklov, lebo som mal posahane prevody. Nastastie to nebolo nic vazne. Z tadial sme zasli na kavicku a kolacik do jedneho supermarketu, kde sme sa stretli so zvyskom rodiny a znamymi. Vekovy priemer 60 :-) Som si tam medzi nimi pripadal trochu divne. Ked sme sa vratili, zobral som bicykel a siel opat na golf. Esteze mam takych tolerantnych domacich :-). Pocas hry som sa vsak uz nedokazal poriadne koncentrovat, a tak som sa rozhodol, ze na tuto sezonu stacilo. Potrebujem zmenit sport. Po prazdninach by nam mali otvorit plavaren a ked nasnezi, tak sa pojde na snoubik :-). Konecne som dnes skoncil vsetky lekcie z ucebnice norstiny. Uz som myslel ze ta kniha nema konca. Vecer sme este zasli na chatu k Johnovej sestre. Jej manzel Laase pracoval vo vojenskych sluzbach a vedel toho vela o Ceskoslovensku, ale aj historii vseobecne. Tak sme sa rozpravali o Slovensku a o Norsku. Po navrate sme si este pozreli jeden norsky zabavny serial a sli spat.

V nedelu som vstal dost skoro, a tak som sa pustil do prekladania blogu. Potom som sa naranajkoval a spravil nejake veci do skoly. Neskor sme s Evou zasli na chatu Sigrid a Arneho - ti, co boli v pondelok na veceri. Tam sme posedeli na terase pri prijemnom slniecku. Ked sme sa vratili, este som sa ani nevydychal a uz sme sli pozriet na druhu chatu - tentoraz nasich susedov. Ti presunuli celu chatu asi o 20 metrov vyssie, len aby mali lepsi vyhlad:-) Nuz ak tam chodia casto, tak sa im to mozno aj oplatilo. Na veceru som mal sobie karbanatky, ci ako sa to po slovensky povie. Vyborne. Takze zelam prijemny buduci tyzden.

The holiday is coming. On monday we started learning nynorsk in the Norwegian lesson. Well, it is fun. There are different suffixes and some words are different. My host mum really condemns nynorsk. " Why do we have to learn language which is spoken by only 10 percent of inhabitants?". Norwegians are not lucky, that they have to written and spoken languages. When they cannot sort it out, so let them learn :-) In English lesson we were watching Bend it like Beckham, because there are showed problems of multiculturalism. A Sikh girl starts playing football what is of course against the imaginations of their religious parents. Quite funny. In the evening we ate dinner by John's mother, who is our neighbour. Thay asked me whether I liked shrimps and because I said no, I was seated to children's table. Grrrr. So I decided to try shrimps. Maybe I will like them now. And I did. We ate it with a piece of bread, butter, mayonese and lemon. It is kind of a ,,french food", because you spend much more time getting the meat out of the shrimps than eating it. So I was playing with taking theirs heads and tails away.

On Wednesday we had 4 lessons of Norwegian and we had to compare our school with our last school, write a short narration, write about plot of some book with love topic and one more excersise I don't remember. And in nynorsk. Fortunately, I was allowed to write in bokmål, otherwise it would be quite a big problem. So I managed to write something. I hope the teacher will like it. From the school I went directly to the golf course to practice my short game on short holes.

Thursday was very interesting. After the school I wanted to cycle up to golf course, I came out of the school and I could not see my bycicle. So I was running around next 5 minutes to make sure that it really is not there. It was not there. In Norway I got used to not using a lock. There are not many thieves, especially not in Trysil. So I asked a teacher what should I do. She said I had to wait, maybe only some students had borrowed it to get to the city centre. But if they won't get back I should call the police. I asked the caretaker if he had not seen anything. He said yes but that he did not remember. So I decided to go to the city centre and come back later. I thought I will never see my bike again. But if i found the man who did it I will say him something and it won't be very nice. Thirty seconds later I met the students coming back. On my bike. They were lucky that I am so calm. I could not even tell them off or insult them:-(. After this I made my way up to the golf course to play 9 holes. They are closing on Sunday so I wanted to use the last days. I was playing quite good. It is always easier with straight drives.

On Friday we got new teachers for next three weeks - students from Elverum. We did various relay races. It was not boring but I think it was more for younger children than for us. We finished the film in the English lesson, I went home and up to the golf course. It was worse than yesterday - I was slicing drives.

Saturday morning we went to the bike shop, because I had some problems with changing gears. Fortunately it was not anything serious. After that we went to a caffeteria where we joined the rest of family and acquiantances. Age average 60 :-) I felt a bit wierd there. When we got back I took bike and up to the golf course again. I couldn't concentrate myself properly so I decided that is enough for this season. I need to change sports. Swimming hall is opening the week after fall holiday. And when we get snow, it will be time for snowboard again :-) I eventually finished the Norwegian grammar book. It looked like it was neverending. In the evening we visited John's sister in their cottage just outside the Trysil. Her Husband Laase worked in military and he knew a lot about Czechoslovakia. So we spend the evening by talking about Slovakia and Norway. When we came home we watched one part of a Norwegian funny TV-series and went to bed.

On Sunday I got up quite early so I started translating the blog. After thet I made breakfast and continued with homework. Later we met Sigrid, Arne - they were with us on Monday eating dinner - and rest of the family in their cottage. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed warm sun. When we got back, we went almost immediately to one cottage of our neighbours. They moved the whole cottage 20 meters up the hill just to get a better view:-) Well, if they go there often...

I had moose meat for the first time on the dinner. Delicious. I wish you a nice week.
