Backpacking..

25th July 2003 4:02pm (1002H)

            Me decided to withdraw from the Norsk course liao.. feel abit bad about it lar.. cos dun tink i will have another chance to learn Norsk again.. but haii.. if i really wanna learn, i still can learn some from the Norwegians from the semester starts.. tink i should have a more interesting time backpacking... OK...since i decided on it liao, i shant tink too much and regret it...anywae, i dun have to pay for it nor the social programme.. so it arent so bad..

            Went to bank in my bank draft this morning with Stephen and Yimin.. the teller actually register my bank account with my name in reverse order.. "Lim Han Tang"... kaoz.. pengz.. den we went to the train station to book my tix.. they have alreadi gotten theirs yesterday.. but tink its quite stupid lor... cos yesterday they went to the same train station to book the same train ride but the operator told them there are no more "non-smoker" seats liao.. only have "smokers" seats left.. so they had to get the "smokers" seats.. but juz now, i managed to get the "non-smokers" seats cos the operator today (different one) told us still got a few "non-smokers" seats leh.. so end up i got the "non-smoker" seats and they got the "smokers" seats lor.. keke.. how ironic..

         

            Our plan is that we buy the Scan-Rail train ticket which give us 5 days of train rides in Scandinavia in the next 15 days.. its cost me about 1300Krs.. we will take the train tonite at 11pm and will reach Oslo, which is the capital of Norway, tomorrow morn den we will take another train to Bergen, 2nd largest city in Norway. We will stay in youth hostels there for about 2 days or so before we take the coastal steamer back to Trondheim.. The coastal steamer is like a cruise ship going along the coast of Norway.. and we will get to see some of the famous fjords of Norway along the way...

            Next we will probably take the train up north to the North Cap (not the North Pole) and maybe we will drop by Sweden before we come back to Trondheim again.. so i should be away for probably arnd 7-9 days.. wun be able to update this site until then... but if i can find internet access anywhere along the way, i will try to update again..    

    

 

           

 

 

            Hee.. this is wat i juz ate for lunch juz now.. its macaroni with bolognese sauce.. looks quite professional hor?? ..haha.. its actually quite nice.. but the problem is i din noe how much macaroni to cook and end up cooking too much and have to stuff everything in ..=(

            This is the 1st time i am going backpacking leh.. quite exciting.. gotta pack some food in order to cut down on expenditure.. too bad i dun have those super big backpackers' bag... or else will have a more "real" experience.. meanwhile i juz have to make do with my small hand luggage bag..
