Norway

Team building games can be lame… unless you’re on top of a mountain

On our first full day here at Nordfjord we hiked up the mountain nearest to us. Once we were on top we split into teams and played competition team building games. Naturally, these weren’t typical icebreaker games. We climbed trees, balanced on logs, and (attempted) to identify different plants.ImageImage

Over the river and through the woods… except different.

Hei hei. I’ve just arrived at Nordfjord and have just a few spare moments to update you on my trip so far! For starters the trip to Nordfjord was quite the journey. Tunnels, Ferries, and Bridges, oh my! Or should I say Mountains, Fjords, and Glaciers, oh my! Which ever version of my cliche 1930’s film pun you prefer, you get the point.

Now like I said, I do not have much time before activities start, but I will share with you a few things that have come to my attention over the past week.

  1. Norway is beautiful.
  2. The candy here is so much better than American candy.
  3. Refrigerators are not as cold here.
  4. The trash system is confusing. 
  5. Norwegian names are horribly difficult to pronounce. 
  6. Bread, meat, and cheese
  7. Bread, meat, and cheese

That is all for today! Take a look at the few pictures I have captured so far!
