WHITE CHRISTMAS.

It started snowing last night, so we woke up to a WHITE CHRISTMAS!
Out for a trip this morning, I met Beatrice from Milano, she is living here in the area and had her mum and dad visiting from Italy.
Keep warm and enjoy Christmas (and the Italian Christmas cake:-)

I have told you that Stavanger is quite international.

We even have an international cafe, and on Saturdays you can get food from different countries.
Today it was Japanese food on the menu.
They also had a slideshow with images from Japan and an animated film which we unfortunately did not get to see.

We met Kenji, who is from a place near Tokyo, and was living in the U.S before coming here to Stavanger. He now works for an American oil company.  The cute little daughter is named Mio and her mother is from Hiroshima.

It was the first time I visited the cafe.

It is at Nytorget.

Do not forget to bring cash, because they do not take any plastic cards.

Another Instagram image.

This time from the Nespresso shop that opened recently.
I had my first visit there today.
Yes, I love good coffee, including real Italian and Turkish coffee too.
The beautiful young woman, is Camilla, from Brazil. (Coffee specialist).
She has been living in Norway for the last 5-6 years and speaks Norwegian very well!

So now there are NESPRESSO shops in Oslo, Bergen and finally STAVANGER!:)

The postman, Mamadu Saido Balde, is driving the smartest POST car I have ever seen.
He is from Portugal, and speaks Portugese, Spanish, French, English AND Norwegian!
I forgot to ask if he uses this kind of vehicle in the winter.
Anyway, it looks fun to drive!

Chan Peter, from Hong Kong, has been running "My Kitchen" ( Take away food.) the last 3 years.

And this little place has become very popular!

Well worth trying out the Chinese food !

Øvre Stokkavei 29

Mr. Müller "aus München", has been living for many years in Stavanger, with his Norwegian wife.

I met him on my walk, when my friend and I were busy using our cameras. We started talking, and he told us that he will be 98 years old later this year. He also showed us some excellent photos from his camera, of the birds that he feeds every day.

He is out walking, - and is still driving his car.

Halloween is here.

Tonight I meet MEHDI (age 5) and his big brother RAYAN who will be 9 years old tomorrow.

Congratulations!!

I hope you managed to collect lots of sweets, and I am sure you will have a very nice party!
