Second Week & Contact Person & Hiking
09:30Second Week
Yea second week ;) I don't know but every day felt like a whole week, time passes so slowly <3. Every day is for me a little adventure, I meet a lot of new people, learn more about Norway, their culture and the language. I'm so excited and happy, my family seems really nice, the school is really good and I think I have already some friends or a group, I hang out. Of course not best friends, but still friends.
Every morning I make "matpakke", because in Norway you usually bring your lunch with you or buy it in the canteen and then you eat in school. For me eating in school is totally new, however I'm already used to it. In my school we have only a lunch time of half an hour, in Switzerland I was used to one hour and a half xD I like it how it is here in Norway, because you finish school than earlier...and have more spare time. I will write in another Blog about the typical Norwegian food or "matpakke" I tried already some things and I really was surprised what they sometimes eat here up in the north, but as far as I experienced it the most was actually pretty tasty ;p
Contact Person
I met this week the first time my contact person. Everybody who's doing an exchange year has a contact person. The contact person should be a discuss partner, if my host family or I have a problem. For example my host family has a problem with me or my behaviour but I have the feeling everything is fine and good, my host family will first try to discuss the problem with me. If I don't agree with them they can go to the contact person and he will try to talk with me about the problem as a neutral person. It's the same if I have a problem with my host family and they think everything is fine. The contact person also will do every month something with me. For example eating dinner together and talk about my exchange year to see how it goes.
So on Thursday in the second week me and my host family were invited for coffee and cake by my host family. After 5 minutes I already had the feeling that I've been very lucky with my contact person. He is very friendly open and nice and interested. I think I will get along with him very good. He works as a priest and likes sailing in his spare time. He told me if the is okey if have the opportunity to go sailing with him ;)
Hiking
Yea I was very lucky, because the first month we had here in Bodø so many beautiful days, we had a lot of sun and warm weather. Everybody told me that it is pretty unusual that they have here so many good days in a row. So when the weather is good in Norway, a Norwegian gets the feeling to go out hiking or doing a little trip. If they spend a free day at home, it's a wasted day xD So in the first month I already went hiking three times. I never liked hiking in Switzerland that much, but here in Norway it's different. The nature, the smell and the feeling is completely different if you go hiking. It's like a little adventure...
One of the trip was a hiking trip to one of the biggest mountain here in the area. It's called Per Karlstad, it took us 3hours to get up and 2 hours back down, which isn't that long, but it was really steep. It was totally worth it for the view we had from the top.
Another trip we did was just a walk in the evening to the biggest mountain of Bodø. It took us just one hour. From the top you habe a really wonderful view over Bodo itself.

The third trip was to Heggmotind. This took us 4 hours up and 3 hours down. The weather wasn't that sunny but I was okay to go hiking. It was very windy one the last little piece to the top, so I and my host mother had a little cold the next day.
If you go hiking in Norway you will see the real Norway. The fjords, big steep mountains and a lot of unttached nature. It's really amazing and wonderful to hiking in Norway especially in the north. I was surprised by myself how I stated loving hiking xD
