The photo shows the entrance and inside; the reception, shop and cafeteria.

A nice place close to the little lake, Mosvannet.

This is Norwegian “Skoleboller”, or in English “ School Buns” filled with custard and topped with coconut and a confectioner’s sugar glaze.

It is a type of pastry you can get at any bakery, and many grocery stores as well as some ferry kiosks and cafés. Kids make them at school and parents who take the time, make them at home.

They are very popular, especially for school kids......

Yesterday when I was out photographing traffic and rain, I met these two young students,

SALMAN (who has started studying computer science) and ASAD (who is in his 2nd. year with construction engineering). They are both from Punjab in Pakistan, but did not know each other until they met here where they are University students, and living at the same student home. Good luck with your studies,- and I also hope you have a really good time here in Stavanger!

Sunday afternoon...

We have had soooo much rain the last couple of days, that there are many places where the roads have been a little flooded,  making it difficult to drive. Or perhaps a free car wash?

This evening I have been to http://www.sandnesbrygge.no

It is the last day of the Humour Festival, and tonights show was called

“Fedre på Felgen”. It was FUN, but also very different to the other two shows I have put out on the blog. And I think that is one of the things I like, the range of different styles.

Tonight there were mainly “aduls” in the audience. When I left I thought “cosy” was the most correct word to describe the evening.

(There are multiple events happening throughout the region, some occurring at the same time.)

Last year everyone in Stavanger could get A FREE BOOK, and that was a big success.

So the library together with the Culturhouse, the trade union and a big business organization  have this year printed the book ”Fortuna” by our famous writer Alexander L. Kielland ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Kielland )

Some got it by post, but most people picked it up from the library as this young woman is doing.

I think it is a great idea! Perhaps something to do in your city too??

More FUN and more LAUGHTER!:-)

We had a great time at “Cementen”, see http://www.cementen.no

It is amazing what these stand-up comedians manage to come up with!!

The show was called “Usett & Uhørt” Directly translated; “ Unseen and Unheard ”
