Enga mellom fjella

International Day

Tired old me:

I went to the International Cultural Fest at U. Montana today. Ate a little. Spoke with a couple people, saw a couple friends.

Had more energy last year.

Met Toan, a Norwegian from the Oslo area who's a student at Frenchtown High School. Cool. Unfortunately my Norwegian sucks.

All these missed opportunities...

Found out there are French tables Monday evening at 6:30 at Liquid Planet and Friday morning at 10 at the library. My French sucks too.

So... accomplished something!

Food: saw marzipan from Lübeck, Germany the other day and akvavit from Åhus, Sweden. Last night I bought some Biscoff, a Belgian product. Think ground up brown sugar cinnamon cookies mixed with vegetable oils to produce a spread similar to peanut butter...

I actually like it.

When I'm in Europe I'll have to be open to trying new things ...if only to keep costs down. Have I mentioned Norwegian fishcakes before?

A link on what the wealthy do that common folk usually don't. Interesting article as it focuses on attitudes. And people, even poor people, can change attitudes.

Well... outta here ...for now.
