Some pictures of my current room, the kitchen is so small it is impossible to take a picture off :)

First off all, yesterday some people finally arrived. I am sharing room with a nice Finnish guy (Santtu), and there is also an Islandic boy (Thorarinn) sharing the same kitchen. Hope to get to know them better by time.

After breakfast it was time for the language-course. About 40 students divided into 3 groups got one teacher each. We got an old,nice guy that spoke several languages fluently. He thought that at least some of the people (Norwegians,Swedish,Finnish and Islandic) could a bit czech, but he could not have taken more wrong. For the 4 hours we learned the prononce of the czech letters and some words. Afterwards we went to town to buy transport-tickets. It costed only 640CZK(about 210 NOK) for 3 months unlimited transport with bus,tram and metro. I think that the bus in Trondheim need to learn something about the prices :) Of course we found a restaurant to get some food afterwards. Did get some kind of local shot that had a lot of herbs in it (it tasted like Norwegian gingersnap (pepperkake)).

At the afternoon we had a lecture about how to survive in Prague. We was told a story of one time when there was a student that was put in jail for stealing some food. The people at the school bought a bottle of vodka and gave to the police department and then they where released. So the morals is - always keep a bottle of vodka nearby, just in case.

Got a "welcome-dinner" that was like chop with french fries (kotelett med pomm-fri :P) - it was OK, but nothing exceptionally. After a couple of beers we went down to the basement of the dormitory and played some football-game and drank more beers.

I must say that the beer is very good in this country - but it will be hard to get back to Norway and not drink beer to each meal and every day.

Todays czech word: kniha - book, knihy - books
Todays meals: Pizza and something like chop with french fries
Todays pivo: 6x0.5
