Only two weeks left before I go to Belgrade. It's pretty hard to understand that I'm actually going to move to Serbia for 6 months. Yesterdays lecture was about all riscs and how to handle them. It was enough to give most people paranoia. Going through all potential grave accidents and catastrophes can make a chill going up your spine. For every day thats closing in on departure I start to realize more and more that I'm leaving my safe harbor of Norway and entering the danger zone 
(personally speaking). I will not have my Norwegian social network around me anymore. It's more up to me than it's ever been before. Will I get a culture shock? Will I get depressed? How will I react? How will Serbia react to me? There's a lot of questions wandering around in my head, and there are few if any answers up there. 
Trying to figure out the questions only tends to generate new questions.Last weekend were spent in both Stavanger and Oslo, approx. 48 hours in each place. I had not been home for many minutes before I realized that I missed Hald. And I don't tend to miss stuff easily. The humor, the people, the special atmosphere here and the "culture", it had all been a great part of me the last month. Even the building it self is pretty special. There is a lot of old buildings moved together to create Hald.
All the old interior creates a special mood.A lot of time at Hald is spent in the computer room. At least for the internationals. It's important to keep the communication going with their home country so Skype, MSN and e-mails are important tools.
We also had a blog lecture which is part of the reason I ended up having this blog in the first place. Another lecture was the photogra
phy class. Most of this was basic knowledge which I already knew, but we got to take a lot of pictures and experime
nt a lot.
Ingrid Karin is chewing her glasses.
Sak Li is demonstrating some of his countless skills in combat technique.
Agnar is teaching in Faith & Mind. Every Wednesday we have a program which is kind of similar to an Alfa-Course where we discuss what we believe in.

Ey! :) First of all: The lecture was called "..."??? Secondly: WHO took that fabulous photo of Harald? ... Well, I'm glad you posted it anyway! :) Love reading your blog. :)
Du kommer til aa klare deg helt fint i Serbia! Folk er hyggelige og Beograd er i det store og hele en trygg by. Jeg har vaert her i tre mnd naa, og som dame (?) har jeg ikke hatt noen form for problemer med aa f.eks. vaere ute alene, midt i byen, midt paa natta... Beograd er en sjarmerende by, kontoret du skal jobbe paa ligger sentralt og naer busstoppen, der er folk og lys og trygghet doegnet rundt saavidt jeg vet. Ikke bekymre det - bare nyt det som venter:)
Hei, stilig blogg! Lykke til i Serbia. Kjekt å hilse på deg i går kveld!
Astrid.
Halloen Torstein! Snart på plass i Beograd no? Skal du bo sammen med Danijel som var på Hald i fjor? Jeg gikk der i fjor, skal til Serbia ei uke i november og besøke de Andja og Danijel. Gleder meg! Tar gjerne i mot tips om hvor jeg kan bo, tror jeg må ordne det litt selv, og har ikke fikset det enda! Vi snakkes nok!
