Vylet do Hamaru --- A trip to Hamar

Tak som sa s Evou povypraval, vsetko sa vysvetlilo atd. Viac to uz tu nebudem rozoberat. Tyzden bol dost hekticky, nakolko sme zacali pisomkove obdobie. Na sociologii sme prebrali uz celu knihu, takze teraz to bude uz len priprava na mozne skusky. Na nemcine sa pripravujeme na celodennu pisomku, kotra bude v pondelok. Vsetci uplne vystresovani :-D. V utorok za mnou prisiel norstinar, ze nasledujuci den budem musiet pisat pisomku v nynorsk a nie v bokmåle, nakolko mam na vysvedceni znamku aj z "vedlajsieho jazyka (nynorsk)". Na hodinach som bol, ulohy som si spravil (za vyraznej pomoci Johna - on diktoval, ja som pisal:-P) ale ze by som sa na gramatiku nejak zvlast pozrel, to sa neda povedat.Po skole som zacal s pripravou na celodennu pisomku v piatok. Tak som si prebral vsetko, co sme sa naucili tento rok. V stredu som bol teda nuteny ist do skoly o 30 minut skor a pokusit sa naucit z nynorsk co najviac pred tym, nez zacneme pisat. Esteze sme mali povolene pouzivat slovnik. Ale tak nieco z gramatiky som sa naucil, slovka, ktore som nevedel som si vyhladal a nejako som dal dokopy celu A4. Som bol na seba hrdy :-D. Po skole som si siel zabehat a vecer na golfovy trening. Trenovali sme nizko letiace udery a trener bol so mnou spokojny. Puttovanie sme trenovali s palicou pod pazuchami, aby sme drzali drahu - to uz az tak dobre neslo. Budem musiet potrenovat. Stvrtok po skole som si siel opat zabehat a potom som sa uz iba dopripravoval na matiku. V piatok teda priblizne 3,5 hodinova pisomka z matiky. Bolo tam mozno 20 % uciva z tohto roka, inac vacsinou z minuleho. Takze pekne. Esteze som sa to kedysi ucil, takze som musel trocha zalovit v pamati. Ale vsetko som aj tak nedokazal vyriesit. Ale znamka mi vychadza 6ka, takze jednu 5ku mozem dostat. Vecer som s Evou siel na zasadnutie golfklubu, kde predstavili plany na sezonu. V sobotu ma Eva zaviezla do Hamaru - asi 90 km juzne. Tu som bol nahlaseny na tzv. Bergenstest - test norstiny vyssej urovne. Plny pocet bodov zodpoveda beznym jazykovym znalostiam rodeneho Nora. Takze tam bola taka zmeska pristahovalcov - Uruguaj,Somalsko, Francuzsko a este neviem z kadial. Prva cast testu bolo porozumenie textu, gramatika a posluch. Potom 20 minutova pauza a po nej napisanie referatu pocuteho intervju a napisanie eseje. Jedna tema na esej bolo rozobranie pricin nerovnopravnosti zien a muzov. Nakolko sme to brali nedavno na sociologii, mohol som im tam popisat kopu teorii a este aj dolozit statistikou. Nenormalne stastie :-D. Po teste sme sli pozriet ruiny stareho kostola, ktore su teraz zasklenene.

Cestou domov sme sa este zastavili pri budove colneho uradu, kde bol tento meteorit, ktory tu niekde padol nablizku. Pekny macek.

Buduci tyzden este zopar pisomiek, ale uz v stredu hura na Lofoty. Nakolko si vacsina z vas mysli, ze za polarnym kruhom je vsetko pod snehom, posielam vam nasledujuci obrazok:


No nesli by ste tam?



I talked to Eva and everything is explained now etc. I am not gonna write more about it here. The week was quite busy for me. The period with exams has begun. We finished the whole book on Sociology so now we are going to prepare for the possible exams. On German we are preparing for the whole-day-exam next Monday. Everybody is stressed :-P. On Tuesday, my Norwegian teacher came to me and said that I would have to write the essay in nynorsk the next day, because I have "second language (nynorsk" on the school repport as well. I took part in the lessons, made my homeworks (with a huge help from John - he was saying to me what should I write and I wrote :-D) but otherwise I did not learn the grammar etc. After the school I began with the preparation for the whole-day-exam in math on Friday. I had to go over everything I have learned this year. On Wednesday I was forced to go to school 30 minutes earlier to learn a bit of nynorsk before the essay writing started. Fortunately we could use the dictionary. But I think I managed to learn a good part of grammar and I looked up the words I did not know, so eventually I managed to write a whole A4-page. I was proud of myself :-D. After the school I went jogging and then to the golf practice. We were practicing punch shots and my coach was quite satisfied with my performance. Then we went over to putting and practiced with a club under the armpits to hold the line - this did not go so well :-) I will have to practice more. On Thursday, I went jogging again and after that finished my preparations for the exam. So on Friday the math exam - there were maybe only 20% of everything I learned this year. The majority was from the last year. Nice. Fortunately I had learned these things before but I did not manage to write down all the answers. But I have good grades so I can get one worse. In the evening, Eva and me went to golf club meeting where they presented the plans for this year and so on. On Saturday, Eva drove me to Hamar - 90 km south. I had to take Bergenstest - a test of Norwegian language - higher level. 100% corresponds with the knowledge of a native speaker. First part was understanding of the text, grammar and listening test. Then 20 min. break. After that reproduction of the heard interview and writing an essay. One of the topics was the equality of genders in Norway. I learned this recently on sociology so I was quite lucky :-D. I could write down all the theories and statistics. After the exam, we visited the ruins of an old church. They are covered behind the glass to protect them from rain and wind.

On the way home we stopped to take a picture of a meteor which fell here to the forest. It is quite big.

Next week a couple of exams but already on Wednesday I am flying to Lofotes. Because many of you think that there is a snow everywhere, here is a pictue taken not so long time ago:


Who would not like to go there?

Trysilsmellen

Tak sa nam pomaly blizi koniec lyziarskej sezony, hoci su vsetky svahy este stale otvorene. Ale uz citim ze slnko pripeka. Nastastie. Na norstine pokracujeme s pripravou na nynorsk esej. Mozno ze ju nakoniec nebudem musiet pisat, kedze som sa ju neucil 5 rokov na predchadzajucej skole. Vela pristahovaleckych deti je oslobodenych od ucenia sa novej norstiny. Tak uvidime... Na anglictine sme dokoncili rozhlasovu hru a na sociologii sme zacali pracovat s novou kapitolou o socialnych rozdieloch. V utorok sme mali v skole tzv. si ifra kampan pre niektore druhacke triedy. Jeden ujo prednasal velmi zaujimavo o rozdieloch medzi muzom - vodicom a zenou-vodicom a z kadial tieto rozdieli pochadzaju. A este aj to, ze ked niekto jazdi rychlo, tak mu to mame povedat, ked sa vezieme v tom istom aute. Takze vdaka tejto kampani sme sa zbavili 3 hodin matematiky, za co som velmi vdacny, aj ked som potom musel pracovat s ulohami doma. V stredu som po 4 hodinovke sociologie siel domov, porobil som si nejake ulohy, siel si zabehat a potom na golfovy trening. Prislo vela novych juniorov. Sme sa ledva pomestili do haly:-D A uz mi opat odpaly celkom isli:-P Tento sport je vazne zaujimavy... Vo stvrtok po skole som si siel opat zabehat, ale nic takeho zujimaveho sa neudialo. Bol to az vikend, kedy sa toho zomlelo celkom dost, pozitivne aj negativne. Piatok a sobota boli dni, ked sa konala tzv. Trysilsmellen.

To znamena ze v centre boli rozne stanky s tovarom a kolotoce. Je to vlastne take ukoncenie sezony. Tak som sa v piatok po skole siel s Linusom popozerat dookola. Najprv na oficialne otvorenie a potom po roznych stankoch. O 19:00 bola v kulturnom dome "russerevy" - maturanti si pripravili vlastny divadelny program. Cize nieco ako na stuzkovych, ale tu boli vsetci maturanti spolu, aspon ti, co chceli. Spravili si srandu z primatora, neustaleho kopania a prerabania kanalizacie v meste a aj z ucitelov. Takze to bola dost sranda, ked clovek pozna co paroduju. Na druhy den sla Eva so svojou kamaratkou lyzovat, tak som sa zviezol. Bolo to mozno poslednykrat tuto sezonu na snowboarde... V sobotu prisla aj Sabine, zastupkyna STS agentury. Najprv sa stretla s Evou a neskor so mnou. Tak sme si sli sadnut do jednej kaviarne a vytiahla papier s tym, ze sa STS dozvedelo o tom ze som bol na Slovensku cez Vianoce. Nechapem, preco jej to Eva povedala, aky mala k tomu dovod, ale ze vraj to bola ona. Takze ako vidite udavacstvo nevymrelo s komunizmom. A toto ma utvrdilo v tom, ze si mam davat zrejme este vacsi pozor na to, komu doverujem a komu nie. Lebo clovek, od ktoreho by ste to neckali, vam zabodne dyku do chrbta. Co uz, mal som tu krasnych 8 mesiacov, tak tie dva mesiace tu nejako vydrzim, aj ked bude doma asi dost napata situacia. Aspon medzi mnou a Evou. Sprava sa ako keby sa nic nestalo a ja som tak znechuteny ze sa mi s nou ani hadat nechce. Aspon zatial. Takze teraz si musim davat pozor, aby som sa neprevinil viac, lebo by ma poslali domov. No budem to tu mat rozhodne zaujimave, kym odidem. Aspon ze pocasie je pekne...


The end of the winter season is approaching, although all the slopes er open. But I can feel the sun getting warmer and warmer. Fortunately. In my Norwegian lessons we are continuing with the preparation for nynorsk essay. Maybe I will not have to write it as I did not learn nynorsk for 5 years at my last school. Many children of the immigrants do not have to learn nynorsk because of this fact. So I will see... ON English we finished the radio play and on Sociology we started working with a new chapter about the social differences. On Tuesday, our class took part in a so called si ifra campaign - one man held a speech about the differences between a male-driver and female-driver and where these differences come from. And he was also talking about the importance of saying "slow down" when the driver drives too fast. It was very interesting. Thanks to this campaign we avoided 3 lessons of math, although I had to work with it after the school. On Wednesday, after 4 lessons of Sociology, I went home, made some homeworks, went jogging and after that to the golf practice. A lot of new faces came, so we did not have a lot of place left in the hall :-P. And my driving was OK again :-P Interesting sport... On Thursday, I went jogging after I was finished with my lessons but otherwise nothing interesting happened. It was the weekend, when many things happened, both positive and negative. On Friday and Saturday, the so called Trysilsmellen took place in Trysil.

There were many stands in the city centre with different goods and also loads of marry-go-rounds. It is actually something like winter season's finish-ceremony. I went there on Friday together with Linus to look around. At 19:00, the seniors from the local high school played a theater play - "russerevy". It was a parody of the teachers, town spokesman and of whole-year-round-digging in the city centre. It was quite fun but one has to know Trysil and people here. On Saturday, Eva went skiing with her friend so I went snowboarding as well. That day, also Sabine, STS representant, came to visit us. First she talked to Eva without me and then I went with her to the city centre. We sat in one caffeteria and then she pulled out a piece of paper where was written, that STS found out I was in Slovakia during the Christmas. Eva told them about it, I do not know why and it is hard to understand for me. So if I break the rules once more, I am going home. Well, I have had beautiful 8 months here so I hope I can survive two months with a bit of tension. She behaves like nothing has ever happened and I am not in a mood to argue. Not yet. Be aware of what kind of friends you have, because they can stick a knife in your back when you do not expect it. At least the weather is nice...

Opat na bicykli --- On the bike again

Tak sa nam pekne roztopili cesty a po prvy krat som mohol vytiahnut bicykel. To je asi prvy a posledny krat v zivote, co bicyklujem, ked je este vsade okolo sneh. Ale pekne po poriadku. Tento tyzden bol v skole dost vydareny. Zacalo to v pondelok norstinou, kde som dostal za moju esej o stasti 5. Zopar pravopisnych chyb sa vludilo. Na anglictine sme tiez mali pisomnu skusku. Tak som pisal o tom, co by som robil, kebyze si po strednej skole zobral rok volna, ako to mnohi studenti robia - tzv. gap year. Tak som popisal ze by som isiel robit dobrovolnika do Afriky a ze ako by moji rodicia boli zhrozeni mojou volbou :-D:-D:-D Ale zatial to nemam v plane, takze mozete byt kludni :-P. Na sociologii sme dostali volno, aby sme sa pripravili na stvrtkovu pisomku. Zo slohu z nemciny som dostal za 5 po dlhej dobe 6iek. Ale aspon vidim, kde robim chyby. Po skole som isiel domov, naucil sa kusok sociologie a to bolo tak vsetko. V utorok sa v skole nic zaujimaveho nestalo. Vecer sme so spoluziakmi isli do kina na Muz, ktory miloval Yngve. Ja som si myslel, ze Yngve je zena, tak mi to az pocas filmu zaplo, ze je to o studentovi, ktori ma priatelku a napriek tomu sa zamiluje do noveho ziaka v triede. Skoro vsetci herci hovorili stavangerskym dialektom, takze som niektore casti celkom neporozumel. Mnohi z nas radsej uprednostnili kino ako Svedov. Na druhy den sme s nimi mali mat spolocny program. Z nasej triedy zostalo asi 5 ludi :-D Esteze zo sportovej triedy boli vsetci. Takze sme mnohi ani nezahliadli Svedov. V stredu nam francuzstinar dal za ulohu spravit kratky film o revolucii alebo Napoleonovi po francuzsky. Takze teraz robime zabery obrazkov a citame info, ktore potom nahravame do pocitaca. On si to zostriha a da to na stranku skoly. Asi ako reklamu na predmet. Potom poslem link :-). Takze po skole som siel domov. Najprv som este zasiel za Perom Gjermundom, s ktorym som hraval tenis a ktory nam predal moj docasny bicykel. Mal som nieco zo zadnou brzdou, ale rychlo to opravil. Ked som prisiel domov, isiel som si po zimnej prestavke po prvy krat zabehat. Neviem ci to bolo tou pauzou alebo tym, ze som si nespravil strecing, ale najblizsie tri dni som mal poriadnu svalovicu v nohach. Vecer som varil veceru. Ked som letel do Ålesundu, nasiel som v casopise zopar talianskych receptov. Tak som vyskusal urobit jeden taky maglajz baklazana, chili, papriky, bieleho vina a este neviem coho... Najprv mi to chutilo, tak som si este nalozil, ale potom sa mi zacal z toho dvihat zaludok, takze som nedojedol. Co uz, kazdy sa raz sekne :-) Nabuduce radsej nahradim baklazan masom, vypustim hrozienka a bude to vyborne. Vecer som mal este golfovy trening. Trener sa neuspokojil s mojim vytacanim pliec o 85 stupnov a pozadoval 95 stupnov. Takze uz opat neviem trafit lopticku :-D Kedy sa mi uz konecne svih ustali? Vecer som si este pozrel golf v TV, ktory ma funkciu ako prasok na spanie pre mnohych ludi v Norsku, a urcite aj inde :-P. Takze vo stvrtok pisomka zo sociologie - svetovy obchod a produkcia. Celkom sa mi dobre pisalo a dokazal som pospajat viacere teorie dohromady, takze nakoniec z toho bolo 6-. Na dejepise nam dal neocakavanu pisomku z ulohy. Mali sme si na internete prejst otazky o obdobi dansko-norskej unii. Esteze som si ich spravil, inac by to zle dopadlo. Takto z toho bola 6ka. V piatok na francuzstine sme pokracovali vo filmoch a na telesnej sme mali test 40 m. Som dost pomaly, ale hadam znamku vytiahnem nejakymi inymi testami. Na dejepise sme pozerali film o Unii Dansko - Norsko, ktora trvala od 14 storocia az do 1814 a na anglictine mame spravit dramatizaciu krak tkych pribehov, ktore su v ucebnici. To bude zaujimave. Po skole som si spravil dalsiu cast projektu o Francuzsku, tentoraz o jedle, takze mam dobry naskok pred ostatnymi a mozem oddychovat. V sobotu som si zacal opakovat norsku gramatiku, nakolko koncom aprila idem robit skusky na certifikat - Bergenstesten. Hadam to nejak zvladnem. Vecer sme s Evou a Christopherom (adoptivny syn jednych znamych, ktoreho mame u nas niektore vikendy) isli na oslavu narodenin Evinej sestry Åsy do Drevsjø. Je to asi 60 km severne. Tuto zimu tam bolo raz -30 stupnov. To sme my tu nastastie nemali :-)Ale napiekla vyborne kolace a ja som zistil, ze dve salky cistej kavy ma udrzia bdeleho najblizsich 6 hodin.:-) Teraz to uz mam aspon zmerane, takze viem, kolko mozem vypit. Tak som si asi o polnoci pozrel s Atlem a jeho kamaratom film, nakolko som nemohol zaspat, a okolo druhej rano sa mi to uz podarilo. To mi vsak nic nezmenilo na tom, ze som vstal pred 8ou. Niekedy to telo vazne nechapem. Dal som si hemendex a okolo obeda som s Evou a Christopherom isli lyzovat na hodinku dve. Malo ludi, mokry sneh, vidno ze sa sezona pomaly konci... Po navrate som si siel zabehat. Uz sa to zlepsilo a bol som trocha rychlejsi aj menej zadychany. Vecer je v norskej televizii priamy prenos z posledneho kola golfoveho Majoru v Auguste, takze to si nesmiem nechat ujst. Napisem o tyzden.
P.S: Na obrazku je nova norska opera, ktoru v sobotu otvorili. Pekna, rovno pri vode. Stalo ich to asi 4 miliardy NOK. Esteze maju kopu ropy :-)




So the ice on the roads has smelted and I could use my bike for the first time after a long time. That is maybe the last time in my life, when I can ride a bicycle and snow is everywhere around me. But let me begin from Monday. This week was rather successful at school. It began with Norwegian. I got 5 for my essay about happiness. I made some grammar mistakes but otherwise it was OK. We wrote another essay on the English lesson. I wrote about the gap year - what would I do etc. I wrote that I would have gone to Africa to do voluntary work and I mentioned how terrified my parents would have been :-D:-D:-D But I am not intending to go there, so they can sleep well:-P. We got free on Sciology so we could prepare ourselves for the exam on Thursday. On German, I got 5 from my essay after a long period with only 6 - marks. But I could at least see, where I make mistakes. After the school I learned Sociology but otherwise nothing interesting happened. The same on Tuesday - ordinary day. In the evening, my classmates and me went to cinema. The film's name was The man who loved Yngve. I thought that Yngve is a girl name, so first during the film I found out, that it is about a guy, who has a girlfriend and falls in love with his new male-classmate. Almost every actor speaked with Stavanger accent so I could not understand some parts of the film. But many of us preferred rather cinema than meeting the Swedes. On Wednesday we should have a common program with them and only 5 people form my class were there :-D Fortunately everybody came from the sports class. So many of us did not even get a glance of Swedish students. Our French teacher gave us a task: we are supposed to make a French film about the revolution or Napoleon. So we are filming the pictures and recording our voices telling about the French revolution. He is going to cut it and put it on the school's webside as an advertisement for the subject. I will send a link :-). Then I went home. I had to visit Per Gjermund, the guy I played tennis with, because there was something wrong with my rear brake on bycicle. But he fixed it very quickly. Then I went jogging. The weather was terrible, but I was convinced I have to do it. First time after the winter. I do not know if it was because of that or because of the fact I did not stretch my muscles, but my legs were aching for the next 3 days. Than I made a dinner. When I flew to Ålesund, I found some Italian recipes in the plane magazine. So I tried to cook some mixture of aubergine, chilli, paprika, white wine ... When I tasted it for the first time, it was quite good so I took more. But after a while I could not eat more. I think I will change aubergine for some kind of meat next time and it will be surely better. In the evening I had a golf practice. My trainer was not satisfied with my 85 grades shoulder rotation and wants 95 grades. So I am not able to hit the ball again:-) When am I going to manage my swing? In the evening I watched golf on TV, many Norwegians use it as some kind of sleeping pills :-P. On Thursday the exam from Sociology - international business and production. It was quite easy for me to write about everything and connecting different theories, si I got 6-. On the History lesson we got an unexpected test. Our teacher was just checking if we made the homework. Fortunately I did it, otherwise I would be in big troubles:-) But as I made it, I got 6. On Friday, we resumed with making the movies and on the PE we had a 40 m test. I am slow. But I hope I can improve my final mark with other tests. We watched a movie about the Danish- Norwegian Union on the History. This Union was almost 500 years long and ended in 1814. On the English lesson we shoud make a radio play out of one of the short stories in the book. It will be interesting :). After the school I worked with that project about the French culture. This time about food. Now I am a good distance in front of the others, so I can relax a little. On Saturday I started to repeat the Norwegian grammar, as I am going to take one Norwegian language exam - Bergenstesten. I hope I can make it. In the evening we went together with Eva and Christopher (an adoptive son of our acquintances, who is staying with us some weekends) to celebrate Eva's sister Åse's birthday. She lives 60 km north - in Drevsjø. This winter they had - 30 grades there. That did not happened here, fortunately. Åsa made delicious cakes and I found out, that two cups of pure coffee do not let me to fall asleep during the next 6 hours :-). Now I now how much coffee I can drink... So around midnight I watched one film together with Atle and his friend and then I managed to fall asleep at 2 am. But I got up before 8 am. I do not understand my body now and then... On Saturday I ate hamandeggs and then Eva, Christopher and me went skiing. Wet snow and few people - the season is about to end. After we came home, I went jogging. It was better this time. I was 1 minute faster and my blood pressure was substantially lower. In the evening, the Norwegian TV channel NRK is broadcasting the final round of golf Major tournament in Augusta. I can not give it the slip. I will write more next weekend
P.S.: The building in the picture is the new Norwegian opera house in Oslo. Very nice, right by the sea. For 4 billions NOK. Fortunately they have a lot of oil:-P

Losos, fjordy a nabytok --- Salmon, fjords and furniture

Tento tyzden sa konecne nieco dialo. Pondelok nic takeho zaujimaveho, ale v utorok sa so mnou zacal francuzstinar bavit po francuzsky o Piestanoch. Nejaki jeho kamarati tam akurat boli. To bola sranda. Esteze mam ruky a nohy na dorozumenie :-D. V stredu sme mali tzv. heldagsprøve - celodenna pisomka (9:00 - 12:45)z norstiny. Dostali sme 5 tem na vyber a mali sme pisat sloh. Boli celkom dobre temy. Nakoniec som si vybral Co je to stastie a co to pre mna znamena. Tak som nieco popisal a siel na bezky. Hroza. To nebol sneh ale kasa. Navyse som pouzil vosk na chladnejsie pocasie, takze sa my tak smykalo, ze som nemohol ist klasickym stylom ale musel "korculovat". Tak to vyzera ze uz vela krat nepojdem na bezky tuto zimu. Su tu uz vacsinou plus stupne cez den a cesty su zvacsa rozmrznute. Po bezkach som sa naobedoval a potom mal golfovy trening. Svih sa zlepsuje kazdym uderom. Som zvedavy na sezonu. Na druhy den som letel do Ålesundu. Mal som dohodnute na piatok stretnutie v dedinke Sykkylven vo firme Brunstad, ktora vyraba krasny caluneny nabytok. Povodne som chcel byvat v nejakej ubytovni v centre Ålesundu, ale nakoniec mi Eva vybavila ubytovanie o svojej tety Oddny. Takze vo stvrtok som siel na bus 7:30 z Trysilu a asi o 10:30 som bol na letisku v Osle. O 13:05 som odletel s SAS do Ålesundu a uz o hodinku som pristaval.

Autom to zoberie aj 8 hodin. Takto clovek len vzlietne, precita si katalog v lietadle, vypije cajik, docita katalog a pristane :-D. Oddny ma vyzdvihla na letisku, ktore je na ostrove Vigra mimo Ålesundu. Vigra je spolu s dalsimi tromi ostrovmi (Valderøya,Giske a Godøya) sucastou Giske kommune [jiske komüne](nieco ako okres).


Cele zapadne pobrezie su vlastne len ostrovy a fjordy. Co sa tyka Giske kommune a Ålesund kommune, tak ostrovy su pospajane sietou, podmorskych tunelov, mostov a trajektov, ktore odchadzaju zhruba kazdych 20 minut. Oni to tu maju skoro ako autobusy:-P Pride lod, auta, nakladiaky a autobusy vojdu dovnutra, trajekt ich prevezie na druhu stranu a oni z tadial opat vyjdu. Pocet trajektovych liniek je tam hadam skoro rovnaky ako pocet autobusovych liniek. Oddny byva asi 5 minut od letiska, takze sme boli zachvilu doma. Ochutnal som pravu krabo-krevetovu pomazanku a potom ma zacala vozit po ostrovoch. Bolo krasne pocasie, napriek tomu, ze hlasili dazd, takze som porobil kopu fotiek.


Mam aj kratke video vyvesene na youtube. Sli sme pozriet aj jej dceru Elin, ktora ma jeden obchod - nieco ako Modry den v Bojniciach, len tam este sije aj prave norske kroje pre muzov a pre zeny. A po krojoch je velky dopyt. Vacsina Norov si ich totiz oblieka 17.5. - Den ustavy, a pri tzv. konfirmaciach. To vam vysvetlim v maji vsetko. Ale taky jeden kroj vyjde na okolo 15 000 NOK - cize asi 60 000 SKK + si niektori vyberaju este aj strieborne gombiky a take veci. Na veceru Oddny pripravila lososa so zemiakmi. Neskor som sa dozvedel ze Elin ide v piatok do Hundeidvika na stretnutie nejakeho spolku, ktory zdruzuje tych, co sa zoberaju textilom. A Hundeidvika nebola daleko od Sykkylvenu. Takze som mal odvoz. Obrovske stastie. V piatok rano mi Oddny pripravila na ranajky prazenicu s udenym lososom - v tejto lososovskej krajine som sa teda dostal k lososu az teraz :-). Asi 8:30 ma vyzdvihla Elin pred domom. Najprv sme este sli zariadit nejake veci do obchodu a potom nabrali smer Ålesund. Za Ålesundom sme nasadli na trajekt a prepravili sa do Sykkylvenu, z kadial sme pokracovali do Hundeidvika. Tam sme sli do nabytkarskej fabriky Formfin. Tam bola prva cast programu - ukazanie fabriky a produkcie sedaciek. Cela tato oblast je znama mnozstvom nabytkarskych firiem. Najprv sme sli do miestnosti, kde sa reze latka. Oni do pocitaca zadaju velkosti roznych casti, ktore potrebuju a taka masina to potom laserom nareze tak, aby zostal co najmensi odpad. Potom sme presli este cez rozne dalsie casti - skladiska s drevom, vankusmi. Bolo zaujimave pozriet sa na to, ako taka sedacka vznika. Potom mali zucastneni obed v jednom bistre v Sykkylvene. Nakolko som nebol pozvani, kupil som si len hamburger, aby som stihol stretnutie v Brunstade. Po asi 15 minutovom stretnuti so sefom produkcie, som presiel cez most naspat do bistra. Pocasie sa umudrilo, takze som mohol cvaknut zopar peknych zaberov hor. Tam je to len more a hory - tzv. Sunnmørsalpane - sunnmørske alpy.

Zabery by boli krajsie, keby bolo viac slnka, ale aspon nieco. Ked som sa vratil do bistra, mala tam predenaska jedna "firma". V uvodzovkach preto, lebo su to asi 3 studenti a 2 studentky - vek priblizne 17-18, ktory si zalozili vlastny studentsky podnik - spolupracuju s jednou firmou a vyrabaju protidazdove oblecenie. Ich firma bola vyhlasena za najlepsi studentsky podnik kraja. Mat v tomto veku vlastnu firmu, a byt este aj uspesny, no klobuk dole. Potom sme s Elin sli domov. Vecer som stretol aj druhu Evinu sesternicu - Lindu. Takze som postretaval uz skoro celu jej zapadonorsku rodinu. Pozreli sme si DVD o Bojniciach, ktore sa im velmi pacilo a potom som siel spat. Na druhy den na poludnie ma zaviezla na letisko a 20:00 som dorazil spat do Trysilu. Dnes som si porobil zopar veci do skoly (velmi malo) a pisal blog. Na veceru budem robit vyprazany plesnivec (alebo Camembert, nech to neznie tak zle pre mnohych z vas :-P), tak som zvedavy, ako bude chutit... Buduci tyzden pridu Svedi z Uddevaly do skoly. Netesim sa... Ale nastastie s nimi nebudeme cely tyzden v kuse. Ospravedlnujem sa za moje xenofobicke nazory a prajem uspesny tyzden.





This week was eventually something interesting happening. Monday - nothing special, but on Tuesday, my French teacher began to conversate with me about one Slovakian spa city, which his friends have visited. It was funny. Fortunately I have hands and legs to make me understood :-D. On Wednesday we had a so called heldagsprøve -"wholeday-test" (9:00-12:45) - from Norwegian. We had to choose one of 5 topics and write about it. The options were quite good. I picked up What does joy mean to me and wrote a couple of lines. Then I went cross-country skiing. Horror. It was not snow, but porridge. And I used the wax for colder weather, so my ski were so slippery, that I could not go classic style but I was forced to free style. I think I will not go cross-country skiing so many times during the rest of the winter. We have usually plus grades during the daytime and ways are mostly without ice. After the dinner I had golf practice. My swing is getting better with every stroke. I am curious about the upcoming season. On the next day I flew to Ålesund. I had an arranged meeting on Friday in a village of Sykkylven. I shoul go to Brunstad, company producing beatiful sofas. I wanted to stay at one cheap hotel in the city centre, but Eva arranged for me accomodation in her aunt's house. So on Thursday I took the 7:30 bus to the airport and at 13:05 I took up. One hour later I was in Ålesund.

It takes maybe 8 hours with a car. In this case I just got in, read a plane magazine, drank tea, finished reading the magazin and suddenly I was in Ålesund:-). Aunt Oddny picked me up on the airport and drove me home - just 5 minutes away. The airport is outside Ålesund on the island of Vigra. Vigra is together with other 3 islands (Valderøya,Giske and Godøya) a part of Giske kommune (something like a county).


The whole west-coast is only islands and fjords. The islands in Giske and Ålesund kommune er bound together with a wide network of undersea tunnels, bridges and ferry boats. These boats go once in 20 minutes. It is almost like busses there :-P. The ferry comes, cars, busses and lorries drive in, ferry sails to the other side and they drive out again. The number of ferry lines is almost the same as the number of buss lines, I guesss. After we came home, I tried out a crab-shrimp spread and then she drove me around all the islands. I thought the weather would be bad, but the sun was shining and I took a lot of beautiful pics.


There is also a video on Youtube. We visited also her daughter Elin. She owns one store, where she sews genuine Norwegian national dresses. And the demand is huge. The Norwegians use the national dresses on the 17. of may - The constitution day - and during something what is called confirmation. I will write more about it in may. As a dinner, we had salmon with potatoes. Delicious. In the evening I found out that Elin was driving to Hundeidvika on Friday. She took part in some kind of meeting of people, who work with textile and clothes. And Hundeidvika is not far away from Sykkylven. So I did not have to take bus :-). Such a coincidence. On Friday, Oddny made me scrambled eggs with salmon (yammi) and Elin picked me up at 8:30. We went first to her shop and then drove to Ålesund. We took a ferry to Sykkylven and drove to Hundeidvika. The first part of their program was a visit in Formfin - company producing sofas. The whole area is famous for loads of furniture companies. We begin in a hall, where the cloth is being cut. It is unbelievable. They write sizes of cloth-pieces in the PC and a special machine cut them with laser in such way, that only 4 % of the cloth has to go to trash. Then we walked through many other rooms - wood and pillow store rooms. After that, the participants ate lunch in one restaurant. As I was not invited, I just bought a hamburger and hurried to Brunstad. I met with purchasing manager there and after 15 minutes I went back to the restaurant. The weather got better so I took some photos.

It would be nicer with more sun, but I could not do anything about it :-P. The mountains here are called Sunnmørsalpane - sunnmørish Alps. In the restaurant, one "company" had a presentation there. A "company" because it was 3 boys and 2 girls aged 17/18 which had their own student company. They co-operated with one fabric, which produces water-resistant clothes for them. Their company was chosen for the best student company in the region. I was quite astonished. Such a young people and already being responsible for their own company and even being successful... Then we drove home. In the evening I met also Eva's second cousin - Linda. Now I know almost the whole westnorwegian family :-). We watched the DVD about my town of Bojnice - they liked it. On Saturday, I flew away at 14:25 and was back in Trysil at 20:00. Today I devoted some time to school (not a lot of time)and I wrote this blog. I am going to prepare fried camembert for the dinner, so I am curious if they are gonna like it... Next week the Swedish students from Uddevala are coming. Have a nice week.
