Spring is here!


This is the apple tree...Spring is here!

It's called "hvitveis" in Norwegian.

Dear Tom Yum Koong,
I'm so sorry that I have been a little tardy in replying to your emails,I thought to myself I will sit quietly one evening and respond but until now that quiet evening has not appeared. Anyway here goes, so please that you had a great time visiting your folks back home ( two moths I never had a job where I could take leave of absence for that long:-), hope you got to visit all the people and places on your list and of course find time for yourself to relax a little:-)

The pictures from Cambodia are wonderful;they show much history and culture,I have placed that country on my wish list places to visit,time permitting of course.I wish you luck in finding employment that you like,I'm sure any employer will be delighted to add such as affable person as yourself to their staff,being multi lingual must be an bonus if you can find an employer that can put your skills to good use.

Dear Phad Thai,
how lovely to hear from you,and hope all is well with you.I had the wonderful time with my family,friends,and almost everything there.I have been to visit all places in my list.I have spent lots of time with some lovely friends both friends from my old job and friends from the university.
But now I'm in Oslo again.After I came back from my holiday,I have spent much time for searching some jobs.Now I can do only waiting when I will get a call from them.It's quite boring when I can't do anything...only waiting and waiting :(, so I choose to spend most of my time to write something from my journeys.It helps me to relax.

The weather has been glorious this week,warm days with lots of sunshine and not drop of rain.Last year at this time we were suffering with cold weather.

For me,It's nice to come back when the snow is gone.I will love Norway very much if it has only Spring and Summer and maybe only one months with snow,so I can ski...Do you believe if I will say that I have never been skiing before,but I would like to try it...maybe next winter.

The spring is starting now!Last Sunday I walked in the forest where is beside my apartment.I saw many trees are starting to make the new leaves and lots of Spring flowers...I don't know what it's called in English,but in Norwegian...It is "hvitveis" And it shows that the spring is beginning....
I enjoy going and cycling in the forest when I'm free.And I have never forgotten to take some food with me...It's lovely to sit and drink a cup of coffee...after long way.
Well,I think I may stop my mail here.
Wishing you good health and great happiness in what ever you have to do,take care now.
Your lovely freind, Tom Yum Koong:-)
