Long time no see :)I hope that you all had a great summer.
First of all I want to thank our 2000 readers from Norway, USA, India, Germany, Greece, UK, Taiwan, China, Singapore and Indonesia for constantly reading our posts. It means a lot to us!
I have had a great summer with a lot of fun. My summer vacation started at Oslo Summer School.
Oslo Summer School is a free service to students who attend school in Oslo.
Courses are offered in week 26, 27, 32 and 33 of the 37 bases and training sites in the city. Each course runs from Monday to Friday for a week.
Oslo Summer School is a learning environment for students who wish for academic challenges for students who want to practice more on basic skills.
All courses are related to one of the subjects Norwegian, mathematics, science, English, foreign languages, IT and vocational programs.
Common objectives for all courses is that students learn something new, get professional challenges and great experiences in a safe and social learning.
I had two courses, one in Mathematics and the second course was Science in English. We got teachers from the UK to teach us Science in the second course and that was so cool to have British teachers with beautiful accents. It was both enjoyable and motivating to be there.
In the first course, we visited radiumhospitalet which is a special hospital to all cancer pasients. We learnt how to give a radiotherapy to kill cancer (it doesn't kill cancer compeletly, but it reduces cancer).
I watched a lot of bollywood movies like Ek Villain, Kick, Heropanti, Holiday and Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania My favorite movies are Ek Villain, Holiday and Kick.
Later, we (my family and I) went to Rhodes, Greece! It was fantastic! We stayed in Ialysos, which is one of Rhodes major cities. We have seen the butterfly valley, Mandraki, Old town, New town, Lindos and Tsampika. It's so many things to say about these places. The butterfly valley and Mandraki/Old town are the best places I have ever visited. The butterfly valley is a valley with a lot of butterflies flying here and there. Catch the butterflies if you can! Trust me, I tried, but they just flew when I came near them. Old town is actually a fortress, but it's actually shops in it. Yes, you heard me right! There are many different types of shops there f.ex. clothes, souvenir shops, Turkish shops, frozen yogurt shops, leather shops and many more. The thing that surprised me was 15-20 Jewellery shops were placed in the same row, and that too in a fortress! My God!
There are plenty of topics to talk about this school year! I am looking forward to post.
Stay tuned I will be right back!
