Cool in Norway: Trondheim (August 19th-21st, 2012)

Okay! Finally i have mood to continue 'my travel to Norway' story! :D

It was Ied al-Fitr on August 19th, 2012. We prayed in local mosque. There are 2 mosques in Trondheim. I do not remember the name, but the one we visited is the newer one. The next event was Halal bi Halal with Indonesian who are in Trondheim. It is an event where people meet to celebrate an event. It was held in Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) or NTNU for short. My cousin told me that people there call this university as Hogwarts because of the building architecture. :D

NTNU is the huge building on the left.

After full with many delicious Indonesian food and meeting with many people, my cousin family drove me to see around Trondheim. This city has mountain area and amazing fjords. I enjoyed a lot the scenery while i always had visited big cities as my travel destination before. I did not take pictures during this trip because we just drove through and everybody was really tired on that day.

Cool in Norway: Oslo & Røros (August 17th-18th, 2012)

It was summer in Bremen, but it was not as hot as i expected. My Italian friends told me that in their country it was almost 40 degree Celcius. Yet in Bremen 26 degree is considered really warm.

At first i planned to celebrate Ied al-Fitr in Bremen. However many Indonesian students celebrated it in Indonesia. Because of it and feeling sick attending many good bye parties, i decided to go to Norway! My cousin and her family live in Trondheim. I was really lucky that i could stay in her place and she paid the transportation. *fufufu*

I took Ryanair from Bremen to Oslo Torp. My plan was stay a night in Oslo, then took train to Trondheim. Actually there was direct flight from Hamburg to Trondheim, but how could i miss the capital city? ;)

In Oslo i stayed in Anker Hostel. I think there is also Anker Hotel. It is about 10-15 minutes walking from Oslo Central Station. Near the hostel there is tram/bus stop named Hausmanngate. This hostel has very good location and the 8 beds room is really nice! :D I was so glad i stayed there because i traveled by myself.

I arrived in the hostel around 4 PM. After i put my luggage, i decided to see around the city center.

Lucky that i was able to see Oslo Jazz Festival 2012 too :)

Actually i walked until Aker Bridge. However my camera ran out of battery, so i didn't have any photos on that day. On the way back to hostel i looked for dinner and decided to buy food in Supermarket. Food is more expensive here ( i heard Oslo is the most expensive city in the world). A bar of Freia chocolate is around 3 Euros. However i ate this chocolate several times during trip.
