So, I just started a Vlog on YouTube, but since I think I sound retarded when I talk english, it's in Norwegian. But, I wanted to do something in English too, so here it is. My blog is going to be far more detailed then my vlog and I'll probably post some pictures and stuff as well.
I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Tone and I'm from Norway. My name means the same thing in Norwegian as it does in English, but since I've always thought it sounded retarded in English I tell people to call me Tony instead. I actually lived in Wisconsin for a year when I was 17, and I tried to teach them how to say my name in Norwegian, but that was appearently too dificult. They ended up calling me Tuna instead and you can say that I wasn't very happy about being associated with a fish that I don't particularly like very much. One guy actually asked me how we say Tuna in Norwegian; "Tunfisk" and I was dumb enough to tell him. Tunfish became my nickname for the rest of the year -_-
Well, I'm 20-years-old now and a student at the Univercity of Lillehammer. I live in a dorm in Lillehammer, a very overpriced dorm, but atleast I have my own bathroom. My hometown is called Sandnes and is on the west coast in Norway. It's a shitty little place to be honest, but all my friends are there so we have a good time when I go home to visit. I'm studying Tourism and this will be my last year, so I'll be moving back home to Sandnes in June.
Since 17th of May (Norwegian National day) is coming up, I'll be going home on Friday and stay there for 4 days. I talked with some friends yesterday, and they tricked me into going out drinking three days in a row. Which really isn't that bad, I'm sorta used to that happening around this time a year. You see, in Norway May 17th is a family day, you spend it with your family and have dinner with them and all that. But, May 16th is the day you spend with your friends getting uncoherently drunk; we call it the Unofficial Drinking Day. And, before any Americans accuse me of drinking while underaged; the drinking age in Norway is 18, not 21. So I can drink as much as I want. =P
I'm going to get a few pictures of the parade on May 17th and post them and maybe some while we're out drinking and having fun as well, so be very excited =DD I'll be blogging almost every day too and I'll tell you guys what happens and what not. =) I gotta go make me some microwave dinner now (I know, I'm laaazy when I don't have my mom to cook for me)
Until tomorrow,
Tone
