Good to be here!

How else can I start? Two months have just flown away. Oslo is great! Spring. Sun. Sea. Green and blue. Nice people. New places. Changes. Challenges. Fun. 

Sorry for not using nice, proper expressions or chiseled sentences to describe my life…I just arrived home few minutes ago after my workday and a 3 hours long Norwegian course. If you don’t mind I would prefer to let my imagination run away and sketch some kind of free association about being right here, right now.

Experiences as a trainee
Being a trainee means experiencing. Every day. People. Work. Life. Being away, getting closer. Taking apart and reassemble. Experience by doing, by mistakes, by chance. Being here means opportunities. Loads of opportunities to meet, learn, feel and get to know people, places, processes, and last but not least myself. Work? Interesting. Challenging. R&I. New Business. Refreshing variety.

Oslo. City with at least 5 dimensions. Small enough to see familiar faces. Huge enough to meet interesting strangers. Multicult! Colleagues, fellow trainees are from all over the planet. International projects, international markets. Traveling without moving. Varietas delectat. Norwegian night. Swedish cider. Balkan beats. 

A national feast in Norway
May the 17th is constitution day in Norway. Tradition and fun! Happy Birthday Norway! Good to have a breakfast with Norwegians, giving a toast to their country, then follow the stream of reds, blues, greens of people wearing traditional costumes while flowing down on the street of Karl Johan. Pride. Optimism. Forward! 

Thoughts about the future
Future? Continue! Explore, work and experience. Keep on walking! Trying to see the small things and the big picture together

Next time I will be more structured, I promise. Until that, please feel free to join the association game if you like! Good night and good luck!
