first day in oslo

yes, so i finally got to Oslo intact. my first day didn't start off so well. my flights (yes, plural) were delayed and so i had to spend around 30 minutes running around the Oslo airport; from one end to have my money changed, and back to the other end to catch the train. All of this while lugging around 2 big bags. Not to mention i was already very tired by this time... my whole travel time took about 22 hours. Then when i got to the hotel, they thought my reservations were cancelled. This is because i already arrived on July 2 at 1 am, when i was supposed to arrive on July 1. but anyway, apparently they just can't find my name, and it was all okay as soon as i told them i was from Colibria. also, there was no air-conditioner in my room. but okay, all i had to do was open the window and that was enough, yes.. even for me. :D anyway, after i had my sleep, things started to look up. the breakfast the hotel served was not that bad. then i was picked up by my colleague from the hotel to accompany me to the office. he was very nice and friendly, and he even gave me chocolates! (i know, i'm a sucker for chocolates. :p) the Oslo office was very big, the whole Manila office could probably fit in there. people were very friendly, and they go out of their way to speak in English just to include me in the conversation. :) well, after work i'll be "touring" the surrounding areas. everything here looks so historic, very postcard-like. pictures would have to follow! stay tuned! :D
