PARENT´S VISIT & COOKING COMPETITION





























Hey y´all,
everything ok in Germany? Hope you had a happy Easter! My parents were here over the weekend and we had a lot of fun in rainy/snowy Bergen :( I was a bit disappointed because of the weather, but we really had a good time. Friday night we had a cool, international evening in our kitchen in Fantoft. They brought 4.7 kilos of finest beef and a lot of alcohol, so we really had an amazing evening with Italians, Americans and the Germans :)
Saturday we did the "Norway in a nutshell" tour which was amazing aswell. The trip took us 10 hours and we travelled by train, boat, bus and Flambahn. We got to see a lot of the fantastic, peaceful and quiet Norwegian landscape and I really think this tour gives you a good insight of how Norway looks like. Easter Sunday it was raining non-stop which really sucked, because I wanted to show my parents a lot more of the city, but we were completely soaked after we visited the harbour and Bryggen... In the end we did a nice pub/cafe/restaurant tour through Bergen ;)
On Monday we visited the Edward Grieg mansion and the park surrounding it, which I really enjoyed. After that my parents took off to Stavanger and Kristiansand in the south of Norway and from there to Denmark by ferry and then back to Germany.


These are some pictures of last night´s Intercultural Cooking Competition organized by the student network of the university of Bergen. I teamed up with Leonie (Gretchen), Ina (Annemarie) and Tina (Anneliese). My name was Heidi...
I thought our Schlaaand outfit was really cool, we all had braids and little German flags attached to our shirts. We knew right away that we had not the sleighest chance to win that competition, because they were some really good chefs taking part, but I really thought that our Bratkartoffeln, "Frikkas" and peppers filled with mushroom, zuchini and cheese tasted really well ;) Typical German food! But the comitee was not too convinced so they voted for Pakistan (1st), Germarica (America+Germany) (2nd) and Canada/France (3rd). But we had sooo much fun!!!
"1, 2, 3, Hasselhoff!!!" - this was our battle call!! and we were singing Wolfgang Petri songs all the time ... all German heritage of course!
I hope you guys all enjoy the pictures!
Take care and I miss you all very much!
Muah,
Kathi

    I agree, Thomas! Those pictures made me hungry too. The other photos are great also; too bad, though, that the weather was not more cooperative. On the other hand, you seemed to have had a lot of fun inspite of it. Love, Hilla
