The snow came to Norway as it did in alot of countries these past days. It has been cold for the last days, so it was kind of in the air. I was just waiting. Even though i was waiting, it hit me. I woke up.
“It’s Snowing”
“No-way”
And it was. The ground was covered and the sky was white. That was about all I saw before i crawled back to bed.
Into my warm bed.
Closing my eyes.
Pretending it wasn’t true.
Falling asleep,
Skipping school.
All of this, cause of the snow. It’s cold, its depressing and it melts when it gets to hot. That’s what it always does, that’s what it will do forever. Its depressing. Its not cold enough for the snow to last. We get the snow in october, but it won’t last until christmas. I wish snow would come on the 24th of December and stay just until the 1st of January. That would have been nice.
The snow is alreaddy just wet, rainy and mushy. The weather is still cold. I call that rip-off.

I cant help but write about waffles again, cause I see them every day. I just thought i might
share with you all, what we norwegian people eat on or waffles. They are ususly eaten as a pastry, with coffie (never as breakfast). You go to a café (like the one I work on) and you order a waffle and a cup of coffee. Usually these people who order this put strawberry jam and sour cream.
I’ve actually never tasted sour cream on a waffle before, and most of the foreign people who come to the café asks what it is, and when they hear that it’s sour cream, they never want it. I dont know what it is about it..
But yes, that is the most used topping on a waffle in Norway. And then Norwegian Brown/goat cheese come in a close second?

In Norway we do not have starbucks. Nor in any coutries that are close. So when I travel over sea to Britain, I enjoy a good Soy Mocca! Omg that is soooooo goood! Appearently (or so I’ve heard) Starbucks can never open in Norway because we are to few people here, and they need X people to visit each day, and we are to few to even come close…
With that said, in Norway we have alot of other coffeebars. Privat, small, sweet coffeeplaces. They are really good at making coffee too! But is like, something special to go to Starbucks when we dont have it here in Norway!
With that said, i dont think I want starbucks in Norway. Cause there is a charm with the small home-made-ish coffeeplaces we have

So, do you have Capri Sonne where you live? The best of the best drinks ever!
This one is Jungle Drink, I think this one is the best atm. They have ALOT of flavours!
I have to buy them in sweeden, cause in norway they sell like one and one, and they cost as much as 5 in sweeden. So when I go shopping in sweeden, i shop like 40 Capri Sonne with me home!
They are originaly from Germany? I believe so, cause Sonne is Sun in german. The Capri Sonne is called Capri Sun in America right?
