White christmas in Hawaii

Believe it if you want to, but we had a white christmas in Hawaii. It is without doubt I say that the beautiful, white beaches of Hawaii, counts as "White christmas" just as snow represents a "white christmas". We started of with a great breakfast this morning, with salmon, scrambled eggs, roast beef, tuna salad and home-made "rundstykker"! It was amazing.


Then me and Kane Yoshida, a german friend, went for a jog around Waikiki just to check the christmas status, and I also stepped down on the beach so that I could tell people that I was chilling on the beach on christmas eve. Then it was home for some "porrage"? that Marianne's mom sent us from Norway, and the christmas spirit aroused in all of us! Why shouldn't it? We had a white christmas, christmas tree - no star, but we found a loop that looked neat, and porrage and the turkey was just chilling with some stuffing shoved in his ass - yummie!


As the turkey was ready, the day stepped into its climax! THE FOOD! It was so good, we had a 19 pounds turkey, for 4 people (it's about 8.5 kg) so it was just enough... Hey, I was hungry, ok. And as Kenny (a guy visiting Marianne and Merethe) said when I asked "How do we know the turkey is done?", he answered "It's just as with the ladies, when the turkey legs loosen up and spreads, it is ready." My lesson was learned.


Then we made some ricecream and strawberry sauce with it, it was top notch! And now I am way to tired to write more! Enjoy the pictures - I will upload christmas pictures on both Facebook and on www.picasaweb.com/tollaas ! ENJOY the rest of 2007! Update follows in days as Vegard arrives...

Vegard is visiting for New Years Eve

The very same guy that left me back in Aalesund when I traveled around the world, is now coming over for a visit, so that I won't be lonely on New Years. He is arriving in Honolulu the 28th of December in the evening and he will be staying for two weeks.

During his stay here, we will probably just relax, which includes: travel around the island of Oahu, surf, hiking in the mountains, walk through the rainforest, surf, scuba diving, bodyboarding, bicycling around the island, surf, and last but not least, just lay on the beach and relax. And of course, I will show him around the different campuses.

As my roommates are getting over two friends from Norway, and Vegard is coming, our apartment will all of a sudden, not be that big anymore, but it is going to be fun, and crowded...

Not too much going on, besides 4 final exams next week, so there is not too much time at the moment to write on my blog, nor is there too much things going on.

But to see in the future, Friday 7th of December, the Swedish Student Association at HPU are having this years biggest party for HPU students. It will be "Svensk julemat", "juleglogg" and some other scandinavian traditions. And after next week, the 14th of Decemeber, me and some other guys, will travel to North Shore and watch this years biggest surf competition: Triplecrown Billabong Pipeline masters. Pictures will be uploaded!
