Student-life has begun

Yesterday Eline and I drove from Stavanger to Kristiansand. On our way we stopped by two "Kiwi"-stores. They have a policy so that if if you find food that expires today or tomorrow, you get it for free. But even better; you get money for the food that has already expired! So Eline and I tried our luck and got loads of free food. As soon as we got to our new appartment, the freezer was filled to the top. Amongst all our "treasures" were 4 packs of sausages, breadspread, 15 bags of buns etc! :-) Great for when we get visitors or just want something good to eat. Today's and tomorrow's dinner is already planned and we didn't pay a penny for it. And of course we have a couple of hundred NOK to put in our KIWI-fund! :-)
We have also shopped other necessary stuff, and all of it is from First Price, the cheapest brand in Norway. When we stand in line to pay, there's no doubt about it: we are students (although we haven't started our subjects yet).

Our appartment is nice and we like hanging up stuff and getting settled. If you step into our home the first thing you lay your eyes on, is and African ornament. And as you go into our lounge it's hard not to see that we've both been to Africa. It's great fun and I'm very happy with my new room-mate! :-)

What's more, the sun is shining and apparently telling us that we've chosen the right town.

In my experience, near you the sun is always shining! Getting settled already? Am looking forward to seeing it ;)
