Oj, Del 3

Dette tar jo helt av! Jeg liker byen (må jo det, Drammen er jo HJEMME), men avisen??? Må jo være Norges dårligste, eller?

Heldigvis ble de venner igjen:

Hjelpes....

Flere store Drammensnyheter - Del 2

Ser nesten ut som dette kan bli en fast spalte gitt.

Får virkelig håpe Drammens Tidende setter av ressurser til å følge opp denne saken skikkelig - det blir virkelig spennede å se hvordan det kommer til å gå med denne hekken.

Haha!

Flere store Drammensnyheter

Drammens Tidende er i grunn et fantastisk humorblad...

On the road again....and again... and again..

You know you're traveling too much when a "funny" colleague designs a sign for you:




Unfortunately he's right. I now have a week in the office and then? On the road AGAIN.

Awkward Family Photos

Need a break or a good laugh? There are HOURS of entertainment on this site....

One of my personal favorites (wtf?!?):

Wild Rice and Wild Lotus

No, I am not going Wild! These are recommendations of two really good restaurants in Hanoi...

Wild Rice is smaller, really nice minimalistic decor and yummy Vietnamese food.

Wild Lotus is beautifully decorated, very Asian and zen with warm colors, great paintings and lots of Buddhas. The food there is equally yummy.

Great places to go if you're looking for tasty Vietnamese food in a good atmosphere. Enjoy!

Beer Lao

I always drink the local beer when I'm traveling. And Beer Lao is one of the best and another reason why I love that little country. Now the New York Times has discovered it too!

Coincidence?

They once said that only when pigs could fly would a black man become President of the US.

Obama's first 100 days and - wham!

Pig's flu!

Det skjer store ting om dagen ja....

Siden jeg er stuck utenomNorges en stund til er det en liten trøst at jeg kanskje ikke går glipp av så mye som jeg tror. Hvertfall hvis man skal tro førstesiden til Drammens Tidende....

Unaccustomed earth

I just finished reading a great book: Unaccustomed earth by Jhumpa Lahiri. It's a collection of eight stories describing expatriate Bengali families -- parents with their traditions in tact and how it challenges the relationships with their American-raised children. In the title story, Ruma is agonozing over a presumed obligation to bring her widower father into her home, a stressful decision taken out of her hands by his unexpected independence after her mother dies. The alcoholism of Rahul is described by his elder sister, Sudha; and the lives of Hema and Kaushik intersect over the years, before and after Kaushik loses his mother to cancer. An grief for mothers lost at different stages of life enters many tales and is moving especially for someone who has lost a parent and can relate to the tragedy.

Mostly I enjoyed learning something new about a country I have never visited (India) but would love to explore. Book recommended!
