the trip so far

the plane that took me from Manila to Amsterdam.

this is how 8:00 PM in Amsterdam looks like.

my work station in the Oslo office. i just love that ergonomic chair! the extra monitor i have though is "astigmatic". so i'm learning to work with just my laptop now.

the big Oslo office! this is the view from my office room (yes, i got my own room. quite lonely sometimes but i think this is the best situation. this way, i get to call manila everyday). people in the office usually use a scooter like this to go from one end to the other.

one of the tourist spots my colleague/tour guide, Christopher, took me to. i forgot what it's called, just basically he said it is "THE" tourist park. that picture in the middle is a tower made of people. first time i saw it, all i can remember is that tree of dead people from the movie 300. quite disturbing...

basically, i've had a blast in my first week here in Oslo. i went sight-seeing almost everyday with Christopher. we had a drink with Conor, Arild, Brendan and Graham last friday by the Fjord. Arild took me biking yesterday. and later, i'm meeting up with Andreas, Andrew and Hege for dinner. i love the people here, they've been really kind and accommodating. this trip definitely feels more like a vacation than work. i'm hoping it'll stay that way until the end. anyway, i'll be uploading the rest of the pictures in my multiply site, check them out if you have the time. i miss you guys in Manila. i'm really having a great time here, but i'm also looking forward to going back home.
