My life wrapped up
6 days till departure… Feels strange to look at the two boxes and two backpacks, thinking about that inside them is everything i am bringing to NZ. It mostly contains cloths and books, feels strange that somehow that´s my life wrapped up inside and the stuff that i will start my “new” life with in Kiwi land..Its not much at all! It makes me stressed to know how many things i need to get down there but luckily I have a month before uni starts.
Well today is the last day of Christmas and i will spend it with my fathers side of the family! It should be lots of fun and lots of noise i guess 13 people and a small dog all together in my grandparents living room is always quite an excitement..hehe.
Alright have a wonderful day and everyone in Norway enjoy the huge amount of snow! (there is snow here to acutally but not really anything to brag about!)

The plan:
Well so i am bored everyone is eating till their bellies are bursting while i am in Holland sipping on a glass of wine and eating gouda! its yummy but i am not really in a christmas spirit yet like the rest.. tomorrow is my day then we will be at least 12 people at my Uncle and Aunt eating beautiful food hehee.. great!
So well yes the plan for me and my boyfriend the next month, lined up:
First relaxing with my family in Holland- where i am right now!
Then New Years in Amsterdam, i guess it will be great but cold specially if we be spending it outside!
Amsterdam
Next morning at 15.00 jumping on a plane to Cairo pretty hang over i guess.. hopefully i sleep! From Cairo a plane straight to Kuala Lumpur where we will be spending in an already booked hotel enjoying the Malaysian city life and gigantic buildings.

From there we will travel with bus or train towards the south in Malaysia i guess some stops will be Cameron Hights and historical cities or a jungle or two. The end destination for Malaysia will be Lankawi where we will pas over to Thailand with boat. In total we will be around 10 days in both Malaysia and Thailand.

In Thailand we will travel with boats mostly and go island hopping all the way up to Phuket where the plain leaves from the 21st of January. We will i guess (not decided yet) visit the Phi Phi islands but also smaller and less crowded islands on our way upwards.

Then from Phuket we go down to KL again for 8 hours (maybe the last shopping mission) and then down to Auckland, New Zealand. We arrive there the 22nd of January and someone from Auckland Uni will pick us up and give us some information witch is nice since I have no clue what to expect! I just know that we already booked our self an apartment for a month before we find something on our own we will be living in something called UniLodge and it looks like this on the pic bellow, we hope! (pluss a bigger bed!)

Then we have one month finding a private flat and a good area to live in… so if someone has tips please please tell me i be really happy!! This month we also have to find everything we need like blankets, pots, furniture etc. Cause the only stuff we will be bringing are 3 boxes with cloths each! its crazy!! ahh… i feel like a gypsy at the moment! And it will be so good to finally arrive and get things sorted out. Like getting a bank, phone, uni, car, flat and really feel that i am settling a bit and that i will not be moving around for at least two years! GREAT!
But i miss Norway for sure, also all my friends and family it be strange to once more find a group of people to hang out with and build up networks it feels like i just did so last year in Vienna. But heyy i am lucky that i have the chance to travel and experience all this stuff so i am not complaining!
Alrighty! That was it for now, its weird to blog again! But hopefully i get used to it soon!
Merry Christmas once again to everyone!
Music that makes me smile
This is good holiday music!
Enjoy!! Hope everyone celebrating and being with their families tonight have a wonderful time and that you been nice so santa comes with gifts!
Ready for the big move!
Hei Hei!
Well then I decided to start a new blog again! Hopefully I will blog more this time than the last time and i will not give up that easily! This blog will mostly be about my travel and my BIG move to sheep country, New Zealand! I will be living in Kiwi land for at least two years finishing my bachelor degree in psyc. I be heading down the 1st of January 2010 from Amsterdam where i will spend New Years. Right now i am at my grandparents who all live in Holland, packing the rest of my stuff and enjoying the last days with my family celebrating the holidays!
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas eve!!! I be home doing other stuff since here we dont celebrate before the 25th!
Cheriooo
