... Iceland

... I'm in Iceland for about 5 months. I've got another blog for it. If you think you should read it, let me know.

... Oslo x many, Stavanger and Paris and Reykjavik

Indeed. Oslo so many times I can't keep track of them. Mostly business meetings with Idrett og Ledelse, and also for my studies. Stavanger was a quick seminar/training course, very good and interesting.

Paris, France was in December, for the European Youth and Sport Forum. More at http://eysf08.yource.net.

Reykjavik, Iceland, during X-mas and NY, was to visit my girlfriend and her family. It was such a great time, great people, good food, new culture, and more! We'll probably make a blog for people to keep themselves up-to-date with whats going on in Iceland and Norway.

... Gold Coast, Australia

Yajaa! I'm going on a short trip to Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia tomorrow, to visit my friend Helene, who lived in our shared house in Fjellveien, but are now studying one semester abroad.

Yesterday was a day of happiness! My big brother, Thomas, got married to his Natalie. It was a wonderful cermony in the church and a great party after.

The last week we've just been busy meeting family, travelling around in Sydney and being excited about the wedding.

I'll post some more photos later, when I'm back in Norway. But for now it'll just have to do with this one.


That's me in the grey hooded sweater, blending in with the nature..?!, trying to get as close to the two kangaroos as possible, ready to shoot...! the best photos ever! Will be available at www.magvelebele.deviantart.com when I return to Norway

... Madagascar, Antsirabe

We've made a blog for the Madagascar journey. You can find everything there, http://www.madagaskarfararar.blogspot.com. Unfortunately, it will mostly be in Norwegian. But you can see lots of pictures there!

... Mazuri, Poland and Czech Republic

But first, a short seminar in Oslo, with the youth committee of The Norwegian Olympic Committee and Confederation of Sports. Good meeting, interesting course they present. Maybe I'll apply for it...

Then Poland, youth exchange about Patriotism. It was great. I feel more Norwegian now after than before. It's a good feeling. We were three boys and three girls, and one male leader traveling from Bergen to Warzaw, and then to Camp Rodowo, in the Mazuri region. The camp was really nice, maybe even better than I expected. And the atmosphere which was developed during the exchange, was really great! Nobody wanted to leave after 8 days with strangers from around Europe, that now was friends from around Europe! It was really special! :-) I'm really thankful that I was given the change to go!

A week later I went to Czech Republic. First one day in Prague, then to Olomouc, where I meet with Jiri and Nela. We did lots of fun stuff, Geocaching, Rope Course, swimmingpool, crash-cars at tivoli and much more, before we went to Brno and Boskovice, Nela's hometown. There we went to a Western Town, threw axes, archery, rode a electric bull, watched a cowboy show and yeah, good times. We also did Geocashing, went to a castle, to a synagoge. It was all good! Then I went back to Prague for two nights, and then back to Bergen. But only for a short while. I went to Haugesund, a city south of Bergen, to meet a friend, who is also going to Madagascar. We went on Jim Stärk concert. Good time, good music. Also went to the city to some discos. The day after we went by boat to an island were they have their holiday cottage, really nice place.

Also, be sure to see my photo gallery at magvelebele.deviantart.com, maybe comment a photo or two.. Thanks for the feedback.

... Madagascar, Antsirabe

Yes! We're going! The flight tickets has been booked and paid, the vacination starts next week. It's 2 months till we leave, September 27th, from Bergen to Amsterdam to Paris to Antananarivo. Same way back on November 5th. We'll do four weeks with work experience, then one week with vacation, probably travel to the coast. I'm really looking forward to the adventure.

... Mazuri, Poland and Czech Republic

Poland for an exchange about patriotism and nationalism, 1 week, leave next Friday, Czech Republic, Prague, Olomouc and Boskovice, for vacation, and to see my friend. We'll do some climbing and he'll show me around in the cities.
And I'm going to Oslo, only for one day, sportsseminar. That'll be good to! :)
I'll write more later, now I'm preparing for my last exam this semester!

... Madagascar, Fandriana/Antsirabe or...

I might go to Madagascar for 5 weeks this autumn! I will do work experience there for 4 weeks, then one week off to do what ever I want to!

... or I might go to Philippines at Mindoro island, or go to Nepal, capitol city Kathmandu (close to Mount Everest!)

First priority is Madagascar, second is Philippines and third is Nepal. I'll be going with my study mate Morten, which is also attending PE/PT classes.

Today I sent in the application for alternative work experience, and I'll keep you posted on how it goes..!

If you've been to one or more of these places and have travelling tips, please comment!:)
