Vor Frelsers Kirke

Harriet and I saw the strange looking spire of “Vor Frelsers Kirke” in København so decided to take a closer look. It turned out you can walk to the top, so we did 🙂 If you are ever in Denmark I definitely recommend heading up there as there’s a great view of the city from the top.

Celebrate

I just had a panicked morning as I realised my old work visa had expired. I’d been looking at the wrong date in my visa when working out when I was going to get booted from Norway. Fast forward a few extremely worried hours, and I managed to phone up UDI (government people) who after 20 mins on the phone were able to tell me that not only have I been granted a new work visa (which I’d been told I could only apply for one year at a time) has been granted, and not only that, but it’s been extended to 2016 🙂

And you Norwegians thought you were gonna get rid of me 😛 Ya’ll are stuck with me till 2016 now! Muahaha!

Relax, this is totally normal in Norway.

Spring barbecue in Norway

Everyone says that spring in Norway is beautiful. So we decided to celebrate it by having a barbecue by the lake at a balmy -3°. We also discovered that putting a baby disposable barbecue on a wooden bench is not such a good idea, unless of course you want to barbecue your food with the table itself.

40% beer

I went for a beer with the lovely Fonda. I ended up drinking beer with 40% alcohol content. I’m going to file this in the “it seemed like a good idea at the time” basket! It tasted something like a cross between tequila and vodka. At no point did I sense a taste of beer 😛
