Donate rice... and learn something at the same time

Small world

You know the world is small when

you enjoy your Saturday night at a bar in Bangkok

and suddenly two of your friends walk in

Another book

I shouldn't mention books without including Ben's! I've read it and it's a great account of Ben's travels in Jordan and the Middle East just after we finished graduate school in 2002. What have I been doing with my life while all these people wrote great books?!?! Oh yeah that's right, barhopping...

Who Is a Terrorist

Check out (and buy...!) my friend Anjum Ibrahim's new book!

I'm a bit proud that I helped her decide on the cover : )

Min type veskebikkje

Haha, synes denne var festlig! Kul butikk og: www.vips.no

What's next?

Last year our house help had chickens living in our laundry room

Yesterday when I came home from work I peaked out in the backyard and see a little rabbit peacefully eating his lettuce - the newest dinner investment of our house help I later found out

What's next - a cow grazing in the garden? Salmon in the swimming pool?

I'm back....

In memory

After a looong absence from this blog I thought it was about time to reappear. New year, new opportunities as they say and hopefully 2008 will provide some opportunities to make some of my 2007 plans reality... I.e. no new resolutions this year, only hoping that 2008 will be a better year than 2007 was. Even if I didn't get to do half of what I planned to, I think I have learned a lot about both the joys and difficulties life can bring and I plan to take those lessons and all loving memories with me in the future. I wish all my friends a great 2008, hope to see many of you in Manila, Oslo or other parts of the world soon!

Turisme

Noen som blir med paa ferie?

OK after Manila blast

Just wanted to say that if you see this, I am OK... Very sad with the innocent people dead and wounded and we're hoping it's "just" an accident and not a bomb.

The reasons blog posts decrease

Facebook - the curse of bloggers (and pretty much everyone else...).
