i know, i know, i know

So I have been a pretty crappy onjo-er lately. My bad. But there hasn't been too much exciting news to onjo about. I just got home to Tromsø after being in Alta for a few days. I have posted some pictures below. It was a relaxing time. A little rock and roll, some fiskekaker, reindeer (both dead and alive), some really dumb sheep (both dead and alive), and a few movies. Alta has a new movie complex - and when I say complex, I mean one big theater and two little ones. And there is a brand new student union, too. It's real nice. So Alta - the ugliest town in Norway the year I lived there - is becoming a bustling metropolis. Or, at least slightly more attractive. The guitarist in the one picture is my AFS cousin Sigbjørn. He was like 9 years old when I lived in Alta and now he plays in a rock band called Red Metal.

If you are a smart Norwegian (or American) you will travel to the border towns of Enontekio, Kilpisjarvi and Karesuando to buy meat and booze. It is much cheaper there. But Daniel and I went on business. We are writing an article about border runs for Daniel's paper, GRUS. We went to three grocery stores, two gas stations, one liquor store and then Daniel chased a reindeer into the woods and we drove home. I also bought a Finnish wilderness t-shirt which I think says "fox" in Finnish.
