A VISIT TO MANY COUNTRIES...

Many of us are preparing to move to Finland at the beginning of next year, as well as travel home for the holidays. However, some of our classmates will stay in Oslo, as they are not in the traveling Masters programme, which will be sad to leave them. As a way to gather everyone together outside of the classroom, we coordinated an international potluck and rented out the party room. There was an amazing spread of food from Africa, Asia, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Norway, Maldova, U.S., Australia and Russia. The international games from Maldova and Russia were entertaining as some of us acted like snow (this made the snow gods happy), a candle and a drunk pirate and his parrot. We had a loas-thai pepper eating contest, whoa...that was HOT! The party didn't end there...the crazy Aussie hosted an after-party complete with singing and margaritas!
