Now the summer is over, tomorrow I am back to school again.I have had a great summer back home, spending time with time with family, friends, working and training. And also driving to Oslo to move, and than spending 5 days in a konfirmasjon-camp with youths from Oslo in Fredtun FHS in Stavern.
My last days in Brazil I spent in Rio de Janeiro, it was good to visit my father. It was good to sometime together with him and his girlfriend and her family. The weather was not the best the days I was there, but at least I got time to visit the Jesus statue. Except that I mostly just relaxed. 
One thing that I have really have learned is that Brazil does not just have one culture, and it is no easy to defined or see how is a Brazilian or not. I think it is interesting to have gotten the chance to see some of the variety inside the Brazilian culture.
One thing that at least is the same culture at the places I have been is that people have been so nice, open their homes for me and taken care of me. I feel I have a lot to learn when it comes to being such a good host when people come to visit.
I spent the last days in Leo in Porto Alegre. I had a good stay with him, meet his friends, his godparents and saw him in action at his work. I was also so lucky that I got to meet his girlfriend and her family. They are going to get married at 1 of November, and I am sure that they will be a lovely couple in the church that day. And it would be so fun if I could be there with them, I am not sure I will be able to come, but we never know what the future brings. So we can at least have hope;)
I have now four more days in Brazil, so I am going to spend with my father and his girlfriend Angela, and here family in Rio. Hopfully also see some of the famouse places here.
I went to Joinville to visit Rafaela, I got to meet her family, friends and here boyfriend Breno. On Saturday we went to a hill, where we had a good view over the city, it was really beautiful; U can see a picture from it under.
At the same evening we went to a meeting where Breno had a speech, before we went to a party for Rafaela’s brother. I also got a Vasco da Gama shirt with here older brother, since he meant that this is the team I should support in Brazil.I liked the city really much and felt really welcomed it both Rafaela and Breno`s family. I event got to practices my German, since there is so many people with German background here.
On Sunday we drove to Florianópolis where they are studying, we went to a birthday party for friends of theirs. On Monday I went together with Rafaela to her work, she is an English teacher for small children, she did a good job, and enjoyed sing a long with the children. Later I went together with a Gustavo, a friend of Rafaela to a see some of Florianópolis. I got to see some beautiful places, try to sand boarding /surfing (it is funny that I try to sand boarding before snowboarding :P hehe) and later on I also played some futsal (it was really fun and I got really tired after it).
On Monday evening I took the bus to Porto Alegre, where I arrived half pas six in the morning. Here I am visiting Leonardo, and I am going to be here until Friday, before I go back to Rio de Janeiro. Yesterday he and his friends showed me the city, took some pictures, and I liked this best.
My Brazilian Hald tour started with a nine hours bus drive from 
I also got to spent time with her family and friends, not so many speak English, but with some body language and some words in Portuguese or English, it works out well. I really enjoyed my stay there. And it was nice to meet here again, and see how she lives. at the same time it is strange to think it is one years since Hald ended, and we last meet.
On Tuesday I took a six hours bus drive from 
I started my travel on Wedsday around 14.00 from where I lived, 0500 I was in Brasil (they are 5 hours behind). Now the clock is half past 1 night to Friday, and I have sleept maybe a hour or two, and still I am awake:p I just wanted to wriite a little blogupdate.
Today I have been in Rio de Janeiro, it is hot here, also during the night, luckely they have air condition here. Hehe I am at the house where my father lives, he is not here, but his Brazilian girlfriend and her family is, nice people. I also got to go a little trip alone on Copacabana, the famous beach!

And I hope also to meet Leandro in Sao Paulo on Monday.And then the last six (or so) I will use in Rio de Janeiro, my father will arrive here while I am on my tour.

Two days after my last exam I am going to Brazil, and are going to stay there for three weeks, I am really looking forward to that, going to visit my father in Rio, and also hoping to travel at meet some of the my friends from Hald last year. 
15 days after the term, Mona and Christian became parents for the first time on Tuesday 22 of April, to a lovely boy. He was over 5000 grams and 55 cm long, a big man already. His name is Mads, and he is my first uncle kid, and of course I am very proud. And I am looking forward to meet him next week, when I am going home for a trip!
Here is some famous people that is born on the same day (22 of April):

I came back on Friday the 14, then my sister had her birthday, and we also celebrated my brother and mother birthday (6 of march). So it was a big family party, a really good evening. I don’t have any picture from that evening. But a week later, some of my cousins went together for pizza and bowling. We had a great time, and it was epically fun to divide up in team and play against each other. One of the teams one, after a dramatic last throw (there where shoe throwing in the "picture" at the last throw!
Last week I spend in London, together with my class and some teachers. It was an educational trip, where we visited differed kinds of churches, too so different ways of doing youth work.We lived really central, at Piccadilly backpackers, not the best hostel, but good enough! Of course it was a little crowdie to be 6 boys on a small room, but is was also fun! 
I would say it was a really good trip, I learn a lot from the different visits we had, and also very inspiring for me as a youth leader, too meet so many different kind of good leaders.I hope that I will be able to use some of it in our youth work.The trip was also very good in the way, that we good to know the people in the class better, so many nice people. And they made it a very good trip, and I am looking forward to meet all of them after the Easter holiday.
In London I also was able to meet some people.I meet Sany (a girl from Brazil, going to Hald this year), Margrethe and Christoffer (my Cousin and here boyfriend). And on Sunday I meet my host parents I had in Uganda, and there son. It is always nice to meet good friends, especially people you don’t meet so often. And I was really lucky that my former host parents were in London the same week as me. The world is small:p
A funny story at the end. The people that know me, knows that I am not a good sleeper. I often go to bed late, and I get up early. And especially if I sleep in room with other, I usually early, and of course this happened every day in London…. Except on Monday.The last day, we where going to meet half past nine, so we could sum up the trip, before we check out before 10.We went to bed late, but I said I would wake people up before nine, and of course other one also set there alarms.But what happened, 2 min before we where going to meet downstairs, I woke up, and all the other boys where sleeping. So we hade overslept, and everyone had to pack there bags in a hurry. (I hade luckily showered and packed the night before).It was so strange since my alarm did not go off, and none of the other woke up before. One of the boys, says that he at 10 min to nine, woke up everyone, before he went to sleep again. But since no one remember that, I am no so sure about that. I at least think this story was funny, so I just laugh of it:p
