We're now at tromso and just came back from dog sledging.. it was fun fun fun!! i love the dogs. ((:
After booking out sledging trip, we had to wonder around town until 6pm when our guide will pick us up from Rica Hotel. So here's what we did...
We walked around the little town and did some shopping at an army shop. Cool second hand stuff! Also, spent 2 hours in their library and had BURGER KING before heading off to Rica hotel.
Here's what i managed to take with a normal idiot camera's night mode. Not bad i must say for a no tripod nor manual control camera. the bright triangle u see is the Arctic Cathedral.
Finally!! THE DOGS!!
There were about 86 dogs i think, and the owner only started with 6, 8 years ago!
Once we reached the place, on Whale Island (Kvaløya) We were brought into a small hut for us to change into boots and a trenchsuit!
The dogs were absolutely adorable. they kept barking and jumping on their hinds upon the sight of visitors. All were craving for pets and cuddles. After a relatively sufficent explaination, we had 6 dogs attached to our sledge and off we went in pairs.
That's our sledge.
The dogs are CRAZY!! they absolutely love running! When we stopped for what seemed like seconds, they'd think is too long, start howling and barking, saying "Come on! Come on, let's get going already!" Some even turn back to look at us. We were later told by the guide that turning back basically means they're asking for more speed. "Less brakes! You idiot slow humans!"
Nothing much to say except that i love the dogs! lets have pictures do the talking then. (:
In the middle of our exam papers, we went to play SNOW!!
This was how the place looked through my room window. pretty eh?
See the small hill in the picture? thats our distination!
Actually i'm going to squeeze in both times we went to play snow. in the second one, there will be upgrades to our plastic bags. hehehe...
This was on 3dec. we actually played from 10am to about 1-2. it was FREEZING!!!
Alicia and i got convinced by the guys that this was fun. it was more of..... dizzy! and the snow was cold! and the world was spinning. omg. But, it was something new. haha!
This is the snow slide. Since it's the first day, you can see that we are using the rice sack as our seat. there's also the F1 kiwi plastic bag, which is DAMN FAST. climbing that hill in winter is tiring.... we keep slipping back down!
Here we are, all set and ready to go on the snow slide!
Second snow day
i actually don;t have much pictures for snow day 2. but just to show u the highlight. see! snowmobile. it's mean, it's cool, it's fast... it's the one and only balck snow mobile. and my butt hurts!!! i had a bruise as big as my palm. Ouch!
Cute kids we met that day, the boy in green kept laughing at us when we slip. evil little boy... it actually helps that he is cute.
Look at the difference! It's the same lake behind our hostel. and the trees u see in the middle of the snow, it's actually, in the middle of the lake ( as in the corner right picture)
Green ones were taken during summer-autume. when we were having our first BBQ here.

0 comments I've sort of put every interesting picture into 1 college cos i am lazy to constantly upload them. these are sort of the highlights and anyway London ppl are so oblivious to their surroundings we had alot of pictures which where distroyed by them walking into it.
The first picture from left-top is the royal horse guard's quarters- where the horses are kept and guards are trained. there's also the picture of a overexposed guard on a horse. they just stand there. for a few hours i think and rotate with a little ceremony. (Changing guard parade) which we did caught but couldn't mangae to flim.
The second picture is on westminster. it's like their court house or something. ( or was it a church) well, i only remmebered that there were like 5 traitors 200 years ago, who were killed just outside this place and their bodies torn apart when they were still alive and brought to all the different villages in London to remind the people of the harsh punishment for treason. And now they have a holiday for that day. I thought such killings only happened in china! 五马分尸！
typical outcome of our pictures.) that idiot woman is such an ass! there was a wide clearance behind and she just had to walk there!
