This week was a nice autumn week if I look back on it. Full of sunshine and good things, though by the weekend the breeze of depression slided me gently.
On Thursday after the Norskurs a group of thirty students decided to turn the class into a good team. And were else can it happen than around a table of a pub? I was also invited, which made me happy, but unfortunately I was by car, and in addition I had to go home to my guests. Never mind, next time! Apropo beer, I just summed up my outgoings and I figured out that I've spent 1 NOK in every 11 on beer so far.
On Friday I had a nice overtime day again. The levelling in Nesøya extended a lot at the morning so we couldn't take photoes, although the wheather and the place was also beautiful. It is an island that looks amazing. Its coast is full of yacht harbours.
We got back so late that we missed the lunch. By the way, bread and juice have run out...

József Gazda
A few days before I was already worried and organised for everything may be all right by the time they come. I could get matrace, bed-clothing, and so on. Since it was Wednesday when Mr József Gazda and Ms. Iona Bernát arrived to Oslo. They are very well known and beloved people in Transylvania, among "Székely" hungarians. They are about to write a book about Hungarian ethnic minority groups all over the world.
Formally we had spoken on skype, so we knew exactly where and more or less when we werw about to meet. It was a good luck that they were late, for I had a job which I coludn't finish earlier, but so we just could meet and I drove them home. I had to go back for a little while to the Office to bring the pc-job home. They brought a bottle of nice Tokaji furmint wine. We drunk it that day.
They were happy to be able to use the Internet so thay could organise their tour to Finnland and Baltic states. Dear collegue of mine Zoltan poped in for an hour after his norwegian course and they made an interview with him. After he left tey did the same with me as well. Taht was interesting to see that a 71-year-old man is still so fresh and active, travelling, using e-mail, writes books...
They menitoned many interesting experiences from they jurney around the world. They had been a lot of coutries. Mostly they focus on the life of emigrants who live long time ago in the given country or even born in there as secound generation. They're also interested in people who grew up in mixed marriages. They complained that they hardly could organise meetings with Hungarians in Norway. After all thursday they had so many dates and events that they had to refuse somebody. They'd arrived home just a little earlier than me, and when I get home after my norskkurs the funny thing was that the guests let the keyholder in.
They were coming just for a very short visit so they left Friday morning. I think the whole action happened to be better than I expected.
I'm very happy to help them in their cultural mission. I got a dedicated book as a present.
