Home Sweet Home.. For now ;)

As I mentioned in my last post I am now finally back home in Norway and Oslo! 🙂 I am not staying here all that long though, as I am moving to the Netherlands tomorrow to live with Rob. I have spent around 3 weeks here, catching up with friends and family, enjoying my wonderful hometown and it has been really awesome. I especiallly enjoyed grilling in the Vigeland Park, taking the ferry out to Hovedøya and meeting my family again of course – I even brought Rob and I think they all got along pretty well so that was nice too. Time has gone way too quickly while I was here, but I enjoyed every day and I will hopefully be back pretty soon 🙂

Visiting Oslo

As I was already in the Netherlands to visit Rob, I decided going to Norway as well was a must. Even if my family came to visit me in China, I still really wanted to meet my friends again as well and just go back to my hometown. Rob came to visit Norway with me as well and we had a few really great days there.  Allthough we spent a lot of time with my friends and family, I also got to show Rob a few sights and take him skiing. Although Rob had never tried skiing before and it was a little hard for him he still enjoyed it. In Oslo we are lucky enough to have a slope real close to the city centre – about 20 minutes by subway ^^

Another nice place to go in Oslo is the Folk Museum. They have moved several old buildings from different periods into one area. I didn’t go there for several years so it was rather nice for me as well.

And, of course,  Frognerparken, also known as Vigelandsparken is a must (naked people statues everywhere):

Apparently the beautifull snow got there about 1 day before I did. It didn’t feel cold either – as a matter of fact Shanghai felt colder. It was truly awesome to catch up with my friends and family although it was a little strange to go home on vacation, haha.
