Hey guys,

how is your weekend? Enjoying it? I certainly did - maybe even a little too much ;-) Had 3 nights out in a row...haha - but it was worth it!

Every evening started with me saying: "No, 2night I am definitely NOT going out." mhmm, and I never went to bed before 6am. Some people always succeeded in convincing me to join them ;-)

Thursday night a big group of Erasmus students went to a pub with life music, Saturday there was a Greek party in Fantoft on the top floor and we went up to the roof for some minutes and that was so beautiful to see Bergen at night. A sea full of lights and the weather was gorgous so we could see a lot of stars. Yesterday night I was so tired at first, but when Artur offered me the first Gin Tonic, my mood somehow changed...

We then went to a club with electronical music, the DJ was from Oslo. It was awesome! Bumped into some Norwegian guys and were dancing all night.

I really can´t believe what´s happening here right now! We had sunny warm days with no cloulds for the last 2 weeks here! This is very unreal considering the fact that we are so far up north. Therefore I think that the Norwegians appreciate it even more. Everybody is outside, the city is so different from the rainy months, it´s amazing how it changes the whole setup of the city. I didn´t know there were so many people living in the city, so me and my friends wondered if there might be an underground system in Bergen where they hide in the winter :-)

I was meeting friends for coffee in the city the last week or just staying in the sun to study. I am so entirely happy here at the moment, I am smiling the whole time (I guess this must be the "spring feelings") I don´t want to think about the fact that we just have 8 more weeks here and than my travel journey comes to an end :-( But let´s not think about that now! It´s way too early for that! Ok guys, there is another lovely day outside and I slept way too long (it´s 2.30 right now) Need to go outside, I think I might check out the second harbour in town, where my mama & papa will arrive next Friday! Jippppiiii, can´t wait to see them! I just hope and pray that the sun will still be there when they come.

Kisses to all of you sweeties
