Vegard got here late on friday night, and I was greeting him on the aloha airport in Hawaii. I was suppose to greet him with a "lei" which is the flower necklace thing... But of course, since it was kind of late, the lei shop was closed - sorry 'bout that Vegard. I forgot my camera, so my "Vegard visits Hawaii"-collage won't cover the whole trip, but except from the arrival, we got a sh*tload of pictures up on facebook and I will try to upload them to my web-pictures ( www.picasaweb.com/tollaas ) so there you can enjoy some pictures, but it takes sometime to upload there, but I will try to update there as often as possible.




So far, we haven't really been that lucky with the weather, so our planned hikings and trips haven't really been completed yet, but as a positive guy, I am truly looking forward to this upcoming and last week with Vegard here.



So far, I've showed Vegard around campus, which he really liked, and I showed him the shopping center "ala moana", where I made him spend a fortune. And for new years, we started of slow, had some norwegian christmas food! THANKS VEGIS! and just sat at my place chilling, then we had some drinks, and a lot of people came over so we really had a nice time on new years eve. But the fireworks in Hawaii was really disappointing - but at least it's still legal here in Hawaii, suckers!! :) (for international people: fireworks are no longer legal in Norway).



So we are still on standby on our major plannings - but I will add some pictures, so enjoy! : ) and I will try to make Vegard write a guest blog here to give his opinions and views about Hawaii so far! Oh, and we've been to Hard Rock Cafe, but I still need to show him Hooters, Planet Hollywood and the super nice taco place right on campus were you get a huge ass burrito for only $6.00 (33 NOK) - I am talking BIG and MEATY! Oh, and I couldn't resist - Cheeseburger in Paradise - had to do it, Hawaii's best burger without doubt, best I've ever tasted actually! :)
