A sunny day in autumn

Last saturday was an hilarious spontaneous day. I got up quite late and decided spontaniously to join Kilian, Elisabeth and Rodrigo going to Arendal, a small city 2 h away from Kristiansand. I was such a beautiful and sunny day. I grabbed (!!!) my bike Ole and we ride to the city center where we met at the bus station. Laughing and joking we made our trip to Arendal. We wanted to join a Climbing Competition there. 

A beautiful climbing and bouldering day with a gorgeous company!

Ein Herbsttag am Hafen in Roligheden












My school experience in Haumyrheia Skole

I just can say, it was better than expected. Last week I joined different classes in a secondary school in Kristiansand, its name is Haumyrheia Skole, quite difficult to pronounce. I got impressed of the big differences between Germany and Norway. To be honest, I am to lazy to mention everything but yes, there are some hudge differences:





The pupils are relaxed and friendly. Why? Well, I think because of the different type of teaching method. The teachers use a very practical way to teach them. The language lessons are pretty communicative, they sometimes have to move and walk while speaking, lot of presentations and simply communication in the foreign language. In music lesson they played the guitar, they even played M. Jackson's "BAD" on guitar, drums, bass, piano and so on...


They also have english lessons where everybody has an iPad.




And the school from behind!

 From inside, the main entrance hall.



And pupils during the cooking or food and health - lesson. They have two hours, got a short theoretical introduction and start then cutting and cooking in small groups. At the end everbody's free to taste the meal.

Sometimes it tasted way to salty but never mind....

 I got really impressed by the hudge music instrument collection this small school has!

And as you can see in the picture they really like it to sing and play the guitar, you could feel the joy ...

I had a great week of school practice there, what i've never expected before...

Thank you Per and pupils of Haumyrheia Skole.

The wealthy country Norway or too much food to survive!

If you are a true Blogger follower you probably noticed that most of the blogs have been filled up with nature, travel, sport, living and university. I've never been such a food blogger - until now. I have to. Why? I got the impression that I recently got a new hobby - food!
People that know me would almoust certainly interrupt my speech now and say "Nooooo, not possible, Pancha and Food? Im-po-ssi-ble! She eats like a bird...tzzz."

Let me start a bit more systematically:
Thursday, 18/October:
My new neighbour but old acquaintance Devin invited us [Anne, Nina, Sabrina, Vuokko] to have a cake-dinner. It was a low-calory cake full of snikkers and cream and chocolate. Vuokko probably thought it wouldn't be enought so she made a chocolate pie on top of that. Imitating The annoying Orange we gorged ourselves with this two massive objects getting close to a sugar coma, as A. expressed it:

And with this nearly "sugar coma" we got the
"Orange-mood":

Friday, 19/October:

Next food-invitation called NORSEC-Dinner. The point was that everybody from our group prepared a selfmade dinner from his or her homecountry. So we got a lot to eat from austria, germany, spain, usa, ireland, japan, england, poland and lithuania! It was delicious. Oh, I forgot, Jaime forced me to prepare sth. from México cause we have a lot of germans to vary a bit. I made Quesadillas y Guacamole.


Everyone had a lot of fun and our bellies got quite full of so much tasty and yummie food.














The only thing left was smiling and a piece of Flammkuchen and Nachos!


Saturday, 20/October:

Self-made Pizza at Stian's house! The most difficult was finding the way! And btw Ole was really sick so I had to borrow another bike con duenio columbiano; los frenos no funcionaban!
There was a big bunch of norwegians, three germans and a brazilian-german! Good group, eating pizza, talking in 3 languages and at the end we watched a climbing movie, cause it was a bonding-event from our climbing group.

Sunday, 21/October:
 The crazy plan of a crazy swiss girl to invite for a chocolate-fondue in the dorm. Ha! a crowd of nice people dropped in there and we all brought a lot of fruits! Swiss chocolate and fruits, what a climax!
It was so much fun and at the end of the day I rolled home!
Thursday, 25/October:
Not to forget: Yesterday we made Sushi!!!!!!

Let's rock and ROLL!
