My first day in Waikiki, Hawaii is closing in, and it's been a great, yet expensive day! I woke up and by my watch it was 10.20, so I went up and down along the world known "Waikiki beach" to look for an electronic store where I could buy some poweradapters for my laptop, cellphone, iPod charger and camera charger. After that I hooked up with a taxi to get to the Hawaii Pacific University (later referred to as HPU) campus to see what Honolulu downtown is like... It was awesome! A lot of cool architecture downtown! But of course, my cameras battery was tired and got some sleep before I got it recharged when I got home. So pictures from the campus and Honolulu downtown will arrive shortly! At HPU I met with some dudes and gals who helped me around and told me where things happens. When everything was cleared, I went to the department of off-campus housing office and didn't get any help, besides what I already knew, so I kept searching for a permanent place, can't stay in a hotel the whole year (or maybe.. dad, what you think about that?). I made a couple phone calls and some e-mails, with no luck.
When leaving campus I took the bus back to Waikiki, went into a fitness shop and got some nutrition (it's hard to find real food that ain't junk here!) and then I signed up for a deal with 24fitness which is the local gym - and HPU had a great deal there. After that I went home, found some respectable gym clothes and went to the gym, and by the time I was done, the sun was setting, so I didn't enjoy the sun my first day in Hawaii, what a bummer!

Just wait for another hurricane - you will miss the light storms in Ålesund
There actually is a hurricane here on Hawaii right now, it's just that it's not on O'ahu - the island which I'm staying - but "Big Island" which is further south and "far" away from Honolulu :)
Enjoy - here it's wet and 14 degrees.
Hi mads, do I have to comment in English?
Hei igjen, prøver meg på norsk jeg. Så kjekt å lese da Mads, bra at du legger ut alt du gjør på. Jeg skulle vært der og filleristet han sikkerhetsfyren i LA :) Ta vare på deg selv, det høres ut som du klarer veldig bra og stå på for å finne deg en plass å bo. God natt - du sover vel kanskje, men her er det formiddag og nå sover Kasper så jeg skal opp å lese avisene og drikke iskaffe. Vi skal ha bareselskap for Kasper i morgen så jeg skal lage fotballkake og masse annet rart. Når du hadde 1 års dag laget jeg geletog - det tok meg vinter og vår, men bra ble det! Tjohei...
