Arrived in Norway

Ashley and I have arrived safely in Norway. We don't have our internet cables yet (no wifi in the dorms, seriously? Get with it, Norway), so we are hanging out at a bar with wifi, sipping our outrageously priced beers.
Our travelling was pretty uneventful. Ashley was mildly harrassed by a drunk person on the plane, and later we missed our bus stop and had to lug our suitcases up a giant hill, but otherwise things went smoothly.
Synnove, a Norwegian dental student we met while she was on exchange in Minnesota, was kind enough to pick up our room keys for us since we arrived late. However, without a phone to call her, we were locked out of our dorm until we could reach her. But we met some nice young gentlemen in the lobby, fellow dorm residents, who not only let us use their phone, but cooked us dinner and shared some wine with us. Norwegian hospitality is pretty top notch!
