Sydney VS Rørvik

Curiosities, Fun, Photo, Travel

Now I’m back home in Norway, and more precice Rørvik in Nord Trøndelag (middle part of Norway).
I’ve had a few days to get used to the cold winter and getting rid of the jet lag one by one hour, but still waking up early and feeling tired&exhausted most of the day.

Anyway - I had this idea to show the difference (or similarity?) between Sydney and Rørvik, and here it is:


My apartment VS my mother’s apartment
My apartment - My mother's apartment


Sydney Harbour VS Rørvik harbour
Sydney Harbour - Rørvik harbour


George Street VS “Rørvik’s main street”

Sydney Opera House VS Rørvik’s Norveg

Leaving Australia

Travel

It is the sad truth, but I’m leaving Australia now.
Haven’t been doing much lately, except being lazy! Cinema now and then, going to the pool&beach a few times, doing a Bondi-Coogee-walk, and except that not much.
Have sold my fridge, bed, stools and tables - giving away my TV and kitchenware and some other small stuff, and as normally down here: put everything you don’t want or can’t get rid of out on the street.

Went out to Manly and met up with Kristi and Tanja (who left for Switzerland via Tokyo today) and dipped my toe for the last time (at least for now) in the water. Been at Macquarie University today with Andre to try to sell my old school books, but they only wanted to buy one of them back, so gotta find some other solution for the rest.
The next couple of days will be used to clean out everything that is still in the apartment. On Wednesday I might go to see this Amazing Human Body Exhibition in Olympic Park - dead people without skin and cut in half ;)

And by the way… it is 35 degrees outside now :D

… Wednesday evening I’m going out with some friends to a restaurant so that they can celebrate that I’m finally leaving! And then my flight leaves on Thursday afternoon and I’ll be back home in Trondheim noon on Friday.
