In November of 2015, me and my girlfriend Renate visited my maternal grandmother in Ålesund, Norway.
Renate had only been in Ålesund briefly one time before, but I had been there plenty of times.
Visiting My Grandmother in Ålesund
My Confirmation
In the spring of 2005, when I was 14 years old, I had my church confirmation.
Most people in Norway become part of the Church of Norway when they are baptized as a baby. The Confirmation is when people are old enough to chose for themselves that they still want to be part of the religion.
Boating With My Grandpa
Here’s a few pictures of me, my sister and my grandpa. They’re from a boating trip we went on to Ona Lighthouse when I was seven years old, in 1997.
Santa Tor
Christmas Eve is right around the corner, so Tor (the Norse god of thunder) has decided to dress up as Santa Claus for the occasion.
Visiting Flåm
For this year’s Easter holiday, I and my girlfriend Renate visited Flåm, Norway.
Flåm is a small town located in a fjord in Hordaland county, just a few hours from our home city Bergen.
Norwegian Anubis
Anubis is all dressed up for the 17th of May, which is the Norwegian Constitution Day.
Every year on this date we celebrate the national holiday of Norway. We dress up in our nation’s folk costumes, wave the Norwegian flag, sing our national anthem, and participate in parades.
The 17th of May – Norway’s National Day
It is soon The 17th of May, also known as the Norwegian Constitution Day.
This is a day for enjoyment and patriotism, much like 4th of July is for Americans.
Halo 3: ODST (humiliated me)
In the Fall of 2009, around the time Halo 3: ODST was released, I started serving my one year of mandatory military service as a guard in The Royal Norwegian Air Force.
My Controversial Baptism
I was born in 1990, to an intentionally unmarried couple.
When they wanted to have me baptised six months later, they ran into some opposition.
InterRail 2010 – Part 18: Going Home
After almost a month of traveling, I was starting to get homesick.
It was starting to be more tiring than fun to move location almost every day, so Venice would be the last new place I visited on my journey.
5 Weird Ways People Have Found My Blog
I like to check the stats for my website every now and then.
Besides checking where my visitors are from, checking how they found my blog is one of the most interesting stats.
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas, and a happy new year to you all!
I would like to gift you a bunch of links to Christmas and New Year’s Eve related posts I have made in the past.
