A time of Exile: Övik

Here at last! I love travelling by train, but the last of leg of the journey was by bus, which is far less of a state of "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind", so to speak. The bus ride was followed by a gruelling walk almost constantly uphill to my appartment in the student residential area of Övik.



I settled in easily in a comfy two-room appartment with most amenities available, including a microwave-oven, a coffee percolator, two(!) toilets, a tiny fridge and an even tinier oven. Good enough for me and my basic needs. The sign above, "maximum 30 people in this locale", is setting the bar quite high for my social skills ;)

So during the day I take about 4 hours of driving lessons, requiring me walking up and down the snowy streets of Övik, and in my off time I entertain myself with the books, films and work I brought with me, not to mention updating my blog.

It's cold up here, and the appartment is a bit chillier than I would have liked, but I brought a comprehensive winter wardrobe to ward off the worst of the weather. And now, all I can do is drive like I belong at the wheel!
