9th of October, it's starting to snow...

We woke up today with everything totally white, the weather forecast that it was going to snow the whole week, and that it was going to get worse during the weekend.



Therefore, we couldn't think in anything else but a huge snowball fight, we played for hours, until a German guy got really angry. In this kind of games this usually happens.



This is the beautiful path to our faculty. Nobody knows why the university is in one place and our faculty is one hour far from it.










Closed to the university there is a reindeer farm. Reindeer meet is supposed to be delicious, and like everything in Norway, very expensive. We will probably make a road trip to Finland where everything is cheaper, so we maight buy it there.




This is the main street in Tromsø:







Well, I will write again to tell you our first experience with a polar bear. in a whyle I will describe the itinerary to the land of opportunity, where I will be able to see my beloved.

My first Northern Lights in Tromsø

After having a short, but nice time in Valencia and in the incredible "feria de Albacete" I've came back to Tromsø to spend two more months until I finish my first semester in Norway, and I can see "the sunshine of my life".

The last Thursday I could watch one of the most amzing things that I have ever experienced, The Northern Lights or as well known as Aurora Borealis, there are no words to describe this phenomenon.

The photographs that I took are not very good, but I will try to improve next time, when I hope I have another opportunity to see them again.

As far as I am concerned there are quite a lot during the year, the big problem is that, since I've been in this island, it looks like it rains 364 days per year, so, if the sky is not clear, it's impossible to see anything.






I think that I have to improve quite a lot with the shutter until I get results like this one:


In my next post I will talk about our first official match in the league, and how difficult is being to find a job here without speaking Norwegian...
