Kami,
I just got a Christmas card from you yesterday and rushed to your blog today to learn more about your new adventure. Wow!!! I’m so excited for you guys and impressed that you found the time to send Christmas cards with all the other things you’re doing. I haven’t even gotten around to the Thank You cards from the wedding, let alone Christmas cards. I haven’t had much time to get to know Carl but after reading his account of his time in Norway so far, I’m very favorably impressed. He sounds like an incredible person. Anyway, I’m totally excited for you and your family. I will keep checking your blog to see all the fun adventures you have. Good luck!

Carl,

You are so cool. Good luck in Norway. Marin studied for a semester of graduate school at the University of Oslo. She LOVES Norway. Maybe we could find a way to get out there. AWESOME Youtube video on digitizing books.

Wow Carl, what an adventure and a great accounting of what you are doing. I am inspired by your courage to forge ahead in a foreign country aquainting yourself with different people everywhere and exploring their way of life with gusto! I am also amazed at the amount of things you were able to get done before you left. I also can’t imagine the stress of last minute packing and then having hundreds of dollars in baggage fees! You and Kami are an inspiration and rather remarkable people. Good luck! Can’t wait to hear more.

Carl, the train and subway station pics look familiar from our visit before–I’m glad I’ve seen some of this stuff so I have a feel for it. Oslo will be an awesome place to live. Let us know if you need anything besides mythtv access from this side to help with the transition.

If you have the possibility to go to OBS store, they definetly have them, just bought one set the other day. Bad thing is that their set gives you some things you dont need. It cost you about 70 nok. At the eletric dept.

Thanks for the advice Svein. I was quite surprised to discover, when I went to Clas Ohlson, that they didn’t have one. They had things for Euro-to-US conversion but not the opposite—at least not in the store at Oslo Sentrum. I asked one of the attendants for help and that’s what he told me. I have some adapters at home that Kami will be shipping to me.

Go to Clas Ohlson and you’ll find an adapter to your us cord.
