Well, the last week begins… I haven’t forgotten this journal, but I have been busy with gift shopping, goodbye saying and work finishing. I feel that this journey is pausing (but not ending) but I don’t feel sad, if only a bit melancholic. I has been a time well spent and even there are many things left to do, places to see and people to have more time with, I feel confident that I might be back sooner than I imagine. I would like that. For the next few days I just want to do everything in slow motion, to see if time slows down a bit, so my departure doesn’t come too quickly. Yesterday, me and Bivas Chaudhuri (the other guest artist at the moment) were featured in the local newspaper (Addresseavisen) in an article about LKV and Babel, after they came to meet us last week. I haven’t yet found out what it says, but I hope only good things…

People is so friendly here, a woman from a craft shop let me even after they had closed, and when I tried to paid with my card and it didn’t work, she gave me a lift to her other shop, in the little chat in the car came out she had also seen the article in the newspaper. I have met so many nice people here. I tried a very tasty chocolate pudding with a very politically incorrect name. Got a lot of new music, from Norway, from Sweden, from everywhere. I have wore spiders for slippers and learn that I could probably keep a frog under the bridge of my feet… little things.
