Volda

 
I started this semester by driving in an overloaded minicar to the great city of Volda among the mountains and fjords of Western Norway. A perfect place to prepare for Africa. During a two week program we looked at everything from the great rift valley system to lions and Livingstone and intercultural communication. I even learned some chichewa: "Muli bwanji" (how are you?) and "Zikomo" (thanks). So I've got what it takes..




Anyway, Western Norway is characterized by spectacular scenery and charming inhabitants, and despite the language barriers we even managed to visit the home of a Local.  It turns out that they are quite like us! I would definately go back, perhaps in May.
