Germany lies behind. Far behind. Not that the last months hadn't been eventful, but at last Norway is the destination and has been so for months so far...
It's not like turning over a new leaf but it does mark a "certain step".

Oliver



My fellow student Oliver joins me on that entire semester in Norway. He studies media technology at the University of Applied Sciences Mittweida and is attempting to get his bachelor's thesis done here.
Starting on Monday from Neustadt near Coburg (Bavaria) to Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt), where he picked me up on monday at 10 pm, journey continued to Hamburg, then Flensburg then to Hanstholm at the north-western peak of Denmark.
There we took a rather old and fuckd up catamaran ferry for only 25€ each (similar to the SeaBus in Vancouver but larger) to Kristiansand which is located at the south peak of Norway. Journey continued to Oslo then northward to Gjovik.

The port at Kristiansand:



Gjovik - the desired spot for the next 5 months. Ready to conquer. Again.

I reached Gjovik after a total drive of 22 hrs at 9pm on tuesday. Met the buddy for international students, Per Helge, and got the keys to my room. The only thing to think of at that moment:
facilitating anxiety for coffee.
