Run Reindeer, Run!

I noticed I hadn't posted anything on my trip to the North Cape, so here is a nice little video of reindeer just for fun:

We bumped into these beautiful animals a lot once we crossed the pole circle. Most of them are very shy and stay far from the roads, but these particular ones are living close to the North Cape, where there is hardly any traffic. Apparently they are used to the occasional car passing by, but first try to outrun it to only realize later that it is better to jump sideways into the berm.

On my way to the North Cape

Today I have left on a roadtrip to visit the North Cape.

Estimated return: 5th of June, wish me luck!

Bye Norway!

Picture taken from Visit Norway

Staying in Norway was great, although I have only been there for 17 days, I learned a lot of new things and met nice people. I had never ben 'up north' before, on a sunny day Megumi showed me the fjord at Drøbak, very beautiful.

But 'every beautiful song has an ending', and today was the last morning of my Northern holiday. I thanked the host family, said goodbye to Megumi and took the Ryanair flight back to Belgium.

Flying without luggage is very comfortable, all I had was my tooth brush, some spare clothing and a jacket, all jammed in one small bag. First thing that I noticed in the airport of Rygge, is how friendly the security staff is. Unbelievable, I am used to their grumpy counterparts in Charleroi, but these people even had a smile on their face and wished me a nice flight. I was so flabbergasted, it almost made this whole security check drill a 'pleasant' experience.

But okay, here I am, back in Belgium, back on the jobhunt.

This week I learned...

LEARN from Rick Mereki.

New things I have learned during my first days in Norway, in chronological order (I kid you not):

Norway!

To celebrate the new month, I got myself a cheap ticket to Norway!

Travel Etiquette: Body Language in Ghana

Taken from BBC

Today, BBC in cooperation with the Lonely Planet published an article concerning 'Body Language' around the world: BBC version, Lonely Planet version.
Although an interesting read, there is no mention of the body language used in Ghana, so here it goes:

10 Things I Hate in (other) Hotels

Well, this is a good reading for every wannabe hotel owner: Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet, has listed the 10 things he hates the most in hotels.

Want!

yes please!


The Volkswagen Type 2 lives and breathes as much "careless freedom" as On the Road by Kerouac. Both are symbols of the generation before mine who, high with ideals of "adventure" and "a better tomorrow", would claim their freedom by taking off anyhow and anywhen, going anywhere the road would take them.
