narvik, norway

the other weekend went on a small trip over to narvik.. apparently its this small little coastal town in norway.. but very near to the borders of sweden.. so.. ya..
went with 4 other guys.. =.=
ya gee tell me bout it...
apaprently we rented this little cabin.. 4 bunk beds and one sofa.. i initially chose to sleep on the sofa (thy sacrifice).. stupid guys then said.. "aii.. girlss..." so like i was .. "fine u guys decide where u wanna sleep and i'll take the remaining place.. ended up on one of the bunk beds.. =.=
cabin was kinda cute.. little house kinda.. equipped with kitchen - stove, sink, pots and pans and plates and such.. fridge too.. so like then everything was really cool.. cept that the toilet DOESNT HAVE A LOCK..
so like i kinda pointed that out to one of the guys.. and he went to like write this "engaged/empty" sign on a random piece of paper... engaged on one side and empty on the flip side.. so like.. then he found some strings and tied it to the door.. kinda cute.. but like.. apaprently even when the sign shows engaged.. the guys still enter the toilet.. (but nobody inside la) so a bit... unreliable..
so made a point to like use the toilet ONLY when there are people out in the "living room" and made it a point to hurry.. :S
this time round really budget travelling.. prepared food in advance.. apparently norway food is even more x than sweden.. :S and basically spend the 2 days hiking around.. =.=

the way to the seaside..
the way there.. =.= machiam like monkey.. AND THIS IS ONLY THE APPETIZERS.. seriously.. interesting experience tho.. =/

the ocean water is really clear tho.. crystal clear.. can see through kind.. apparently its the atlantic ocean.. or pacific ocean.. or something like tt.. :P
the sea creatures that the guys picked up from the seaside..

so then after we went traipsing through the town.. really small.. nothing much tho...
so then the guys decided to like discover their own way around.. machiam like trying to be.. robinson crusoe like tt.. =.=
the path we trod.. SERIOUSLY like monkeys la.. made me felt like i was in army.. =.-
the place we ventured.. well.. at least its interesting.. :P
the sea view
another seaside.. or oceanside i should say.. :P
so then we went back.. tired and hungry..
the guys made dinner.. (thy honour of being the only female) and they cleaned up..so basically i sat around and watch norwegian shows.. lol.. not bad sia.. :P

next day we set off to climb one of the ski slopes.. 650m above sea level.. or something to that extent.. doesnt sound high rite? but it is.. =.=
not very appealing to me apparently since i have this SLIGHT phobia of heights that im becoming increasingly aware of and acquainted with in these recent months.. so like bo bian.. guys wanna climb.. have to follow.. so off we went...
initial part not bad.. climb climb climb.. thenr each this part where the path are covered with ice.. slippery eh.. and i have to say i have a healthy respect towards snow and ice.. but nevermind.. continue climbing since its only PART of the path.. continue climbing.. climb climb climb.. then sacarlee.. THE WHOLE PATH FORWARD COVERED WITH SNOW.. not those little small layer of snow.. but mid calf deep worth of snow.. =.= not very appealing eh..
but still continue climbing.. but by now i was already like refusing to look anywhere.. only on the path forward.. =.= so like climb climb climb.. then one of the guys realised that instead of following the path.. if we climb up the SIDES OF THE MOUNTAIN like vertically up instead of along around the mountain GRADUALLY its easier.. holding onto those rocks and little moss looking growth.. -.- so bo bian go on all fours and climbed my way up...
650m above sea level.. one cafe and cable car station.. =.=
sat at the cafe to thaw and the guys brought out food we packed beforehand and had our lunch.. after I refuse to climb further up.. (fog coming and rain..) and one of the uys also not very interested.. so ended up two of us sat at the cafe.. thawing while the other 3 ding dongs continue their venture up to 1400m or something like tt.. =.= so happy leh they all tho at the top they couldnt see shit cus of fog.. and rain.. =.=

the sight from 650m above sea level..
if u stare at the picture carefully can see a reindeer or deer or whatever.. there.. somewhere..

oh wells.. all in alll.. interesting la..different i guess.. but just kinda hate tt high and snowy part.. =.= :P

oh btw we took the cable car down.. :P heng mans..
