Last week we had our first Buddy Bergen event (for those who haven't read the earlier entry, Buddy Bergen is a student organisation which pairs up international students with Norwegian students so that we might integrate ourselves a bit better and get to know a bit about Norwegian culture at the same time), an international quiz. Everyone was encouraged to come along with their Buddies, and as a result the place was not unlike one big can of sardines. Cosy.
Most people were meeting their Buddies for the first time that evening, so there was a fair amount of shy chitchat going on to begin with, but after a while things livened up, so much so that the poor girl reading out the questions was constantly hollering 'INDOOR VOICES, PEOPLE!'.
I had met my Buddy the previous weekend, and I like to think that we clicked pretty well, although of course she might be like 'holy crap - who's this idiot they've put me with?'.
Me and Hanne at the quiz (we both looked at this photo and said 'hmm.. you look nice')
The quiz was good fun, with a lot of different types of questions. I think we did quite well, even though the Norwegians couldn't think what all the different districts of Bergen were and the literature student couldn't remember who wrote Gone with the Wind.
Our team, The Wiser Buddies
Sara's team, at the table next to us (who didn't know who Reginald Kenneth Dwight was.. tut tut)
What else would we do while we were waiting for the answers?
