Jajamensann, her i Ecuador liker de å overraske oss. Da jeg skulle på jobb mandag morgen, sto jeg tolmodig og ventet på bussen i gode 30 minutt. Det var ikke før det hadde gått 20 minutt at jeg begynte å ane ugler i mosen. For på denne vegen pleide det ... Read more >

Howdy!! How is everyone?! I had a great past couple of weeks. Two weekends ago, I didn't do too much (which would be why I didn't write last week). I was scrambling to finish up a bunch of end of the year stuff, which I did, ... Read more >

Heisann kjære dere alle sammen. Jeg vil nå fortelle dere om hva som skjedde på fotballbanen i bloque 17 onsdag 30 April 2008. Hvorfor? Jo fordi det er nødvendig, men ogsaa fordi det var en oppfordring fra min romkamerat Johan å gjøre det. Det kan være ... Read more >

Hello, I’m in Quito. Sitting in a very funky little internet café eating a huge bowl of fresh fruit, muesli, yogurt and honey, to be precise. Yum. I got here just fine yesterday; everything arrived, departed, took off and landed on time and ... Read more >
