There was so much to do on-campus, that i didn't have much time left over to explore oslo's places. I remember ther were some good salsa-places, one good oriental bar and an operabar, very special!

I took an intensive course, and we had to work for it! But i almost learned more norwegian in six weeks than for example portuguese in six months or hindi in four years, and that wasn't because of me, but because of the teacher and the way of teaching!

Final comments
of course i have no idea how this university is during a normal schoolyear, i only took a summer course, but i meet incredible people over there, from 98 different countries; I made some really really good friends for life. It was almost too good to be true inmany ways. I had the time of my life, and i think about it very very often. This was my third study experience abroad, and although the shortest one, it was definitely the best one!
