Norwegian Flu devistates two Americans…

Who would have thought that 19 hours of traveling, little to no sleep, and freakin’ cold weather would equal deadly Norwegian Flu? That’s right. Today Aimee and I spent all day taking care of each other. The picture above does not do justice to the destruction that was unleashed on PerKristian’s bedroom, bless his heart. There were kleenex’s all over the place. I woke up with them stuck to my face and other areas. It was not pretty.
On a good note, it is about 1:00am on December 31st and we are beginning to feel better. However, on the note of medication, you can’t buy jack over the counter. Pain killers are basically illegal without a prescription. I’m not talking Vicatin or other meds I am doing Tylenol, etc. NyQuil? Good luck. They had a couple of herbal things here but I ain’t much of a risk taker. Good thing Aimee packed up some pain killers. I know, there are no pictures getting posted. I am working on that. You wouldn’t want pictures from today, trust me. I hope all is well with you and will holla at you later. |

Hey guys! Suddenly I,totally coincidential, bumped into your blog while surfing, - and I’m really happy I did! I am a Norwegian girl, having worked in India for half a year and recently (before christmas) returned home to the northernmost part of Norway. Really fascinating to read your viewpoints and experiences of things that seem uttermost normal to me, because India (which is like another universe to Norway) have shaken my thoughts about Norway and given me cultural encounters I never thought I’d have in good, old Norway! Anyway, - if you want to experience something a little bit colder than Asker, you’re most wellcome to Vadsø, in Finnmark (the northernmost region) where I guess you’ll have a more “exotic” experience of Norway. To give you an impression, - today it was 21′ degrees outside, this year it’s really packed with snow here and you can meet the Sami people and go snowscooter-ing in the mountains.
Anyway, - hope your health improves and good luck doing a winter adventure in Norway! Ingrid.
