First Invitation to Norwegian House


We had been here for more than three months now. We had participated in different programs and gone to the different places to visit but until this Tuesday dated 24th of November, no one had invited us in their home. Ragnar Lundstrøm, who had been to Nepal two times before and was there in our presentation about Nepal, called Durga the day before and invited us in his home. We were so enjoyed with their invitation and after finishing our work with international group and Arendal Youth Group for a Photo shoot to make posters creating awareness of how HIV is transmitted to other persons, we directly headed to our house where he is supposed to pick us up at 6pm. We were a little late but found him waiting for us. He drive us to Hansnesveien 69, there we found his wife waiting egerly for us. A warm welcome and little chat. They also had baked cake with Namaste written in it. Also we had special julebrus along with cake. We had brought Nepali tea leaves with us, so we also made the tea in Nepali style.
There we stayed nearly for two hour and had chat about Nepal and also the cultural differences in Nepal and Norway. We also they showed us the gifts they have brought from Nepal which took me back to Nepal for some time and nearly got lost on them but thanks to Durga for bringing me back to Norway. We were so pleased about that. We left their home with a happy node of meeting again some time and seeing photos of Nepal and listening some of their memories about Nepal.
