Reflection

I have 2 more weeks left in Norway, and then I will go back home.
I have been feeling very nervous about going home, I need to find a new job and start all over again. My bank balance is low and my heart has a huge variety of mixed emotions, honestly, I don't know which of the two stresses me out more!

Today I went to an elderly lady for a typical Norwegian lunch - cold meat on bread served with a cup of tea.
She spoke about her travels to South Africa a few years ago and her entire face lit up with joy. She could not find one bad thing about South Africa... Nothing at all.
She isn't the only Norwegian I have spoken to about home... I met another Norwegian guy who actually moved down to South Africa and stayed there over a year or so... and even after 5 years he still questions if he did the right thing by moving back to Norway.
I think I know the feeling they have? I had when I first got here after a few weeks too.

Norway has been wonderful though. I have hiked up mountains... Eaten lots of ice cream, travelled up north to Trondheim and even went out on the boat down Mjøsa, but something seems a miss.
I cant quite put my finger on what I don't like about Norway, but in South Africa my passion and hate are quite obvious, and these points are probably shared amongst others who live there.

Where am I getting tho with this blog?
I guess, I am happy, and content. I am so thrilled I got too travel out for 3 months and am pretty damn sad its ending soon, too.
I am also happy I get to go back home... I don't know what adventures lay there and if I will ever get the chance to travel out again to Europe anytime soon.
