WHERE ARE WE GOING?

It's been quite long time i didn't use my blog: The worst blogger ever but then last time i was talking about the crisis in Madagascar. I thougght it would be a small crisis and that after so many casualities, Malagasy people would keep their feet back on the ground and keep this statement " Malagasy people is a peaceful", i thought they would have some lessons from the previous mistakes but i was all wrong one more time. Now, i worry more about my family especially my brother. He lives in tana and everytime i know he's out it's such a worry for me. I can't imagine how they live down there but i just know that it's not in peace at all and everyone must be very carefull.
Time goes so fast, it's like february wasn't there and it's already march. In a hand it's good because time to meet the others is nearer but it's worse also because i have to be finished with my duties and have to prepare the information work. I'm looking forward to my holiday too. I think the sun will be back soon, it's no longer so cold in oslo and one thing is i lost the cable of the camera. I already tried to find in the shops in town but couldn't find one. It's impossible to upload the pictures from the cam now and will have to find a solution.

MADAGASCAR A REAL JUNGLE

CHAPTER I : INFIELD AND BACK TO OSLO



First i'm feeling so sorry for myself. I created another blog in this blog and i wrote some blogs there.


Since the new year (in my last blog "Meg i vinterland"), we've been at Hald for ten days. It was the gjenforening after three months away. It was so nice to see the others and hear that they love their practice places. We also had this sosial dag when we went to Lyngdal swimming pool. Social day, social pizza and social laughters.


The infield course gave me new directions, new decisions. If for the first three months i had no idea of what i was really supposed to do, now i have some. I am also decided to make some changes in my everyday life in Oslo. The winter is still there with snow but not as cold as before the new year. Is it the climate change or the worse is still awaiting?


Well, we were back in Oslo for two weeks already, time goes fast! on the next day we arrived, we met Magne at NMS office to have the program for this second term. It quiver full. I wanted to have my holiday at the end of february but i think it's better to have it after all is done. I can relax and look back to go back to Hald and meet everyone again! It will be so nice but a lot to do also to prepare the information work i think.





CHAPTER II : CHAOS IN MADAGASCAR





Let's have some review


December 13. 2008: Viva radio closed


January 17. 2009: inauguration of "Place de la democratie" and warning to reopen Viva


January 24. 2009: manifestations at "place de la democratie".


January 26. 2009: Black Monday. There started a movie-making without making-off. All the scenes are real though it's like some parts taken from a commando movie.




I was not there, I could only watch the evolution of the situation from internet. It's such a mess. I thought this was going to help us Malagasy people to have our dignity and democraty back but it turned out to be something else. None can tell what's the truth from the lies. Everyone has his and her own idea about all that but for me, this is not the way civilized people act, i never kne




w we were like that. I always thought we were peaceful people. This fight could have been done in peace like wise people do but no, i was all wrong. I was angry when some white people say we are wild but the last three days i can't disagree nomore. It's such a shame and sorrowful. Do we only know what we are going to eat now? do we only




know how we are going to rebuild this big mess? do we only think who will pay the bill? The only answer is it's US, all poor malagasy citizen, whether you participated or not in this destruction, we are all going to pay by one way or another.


Anyway, i could never realize how deep was the anger nor the hunger, but now i can't say either how hungry we will be for the coming years. None can't tell how the issue will be, where Madagascar is going with such a mentality and only God knows what is behind all that. I feel sorry for those who have lost someone in this strike, i feel sorry for the innocent people who have lost their goods, i feel sorry for those who don't know what they are doing but i especially feel sorry for those who use the poor people to solve personal problems whether it's against some people nor some personal problem in their own mind.

lon lon time!





Hi everyone!
it's been quite long i didn't write but i have few sentences to say.
Norwegian students went home for the week-end since thursday afternoon. We were so quiet for the super this day!
On friday, we had our presentations and cooking class, the muffins were so mmmmmmmmmmmm!
I had also two sleepless nights, but on the second one i did my duty so it was nice! We visited Mandal Bymuseum med Ole Asbjørne on saturday, it was amazing to see things that are more than 100years old, i just can't imagine myself that old, i think i will just be laying in my bed! And we had that søt baby Jacob!
Today, we visited NMS headoffice in stavanger, it was exciting both the visit but also to see our friends after three days and half. Oh yes the short sermon after lunsj. The museum in Misjonhøgskolen, many things from many countries around the world, the richraw from madagascar, the kjempe egg, the "lakana" and many other nice things.
Jeg også læret nye orden : "er du klar til dra på Madagascar?) a question to Jan Joseph.
å jokse
slitten
Jeg tror det er alle for i dag.
Snakkes!

New day!

hei!
Vi har kurs på norsk, vi låret mange ord.
Sorry for the mistakes :-) i just try to practise. Today i learnt some sentences during the lunch time, and i just think norsk er veldig vanskelig! so many ways to do with your lips to pronounce the word in the good way, the norwegians have many dialects that sometimes i say it in one dialect and it just changes in another one so i'm somehow lost. I made a challenge to know norwegian after my year but which dialect? i just duno!
Anyway, i'll keep holding on!

Sees i morgen!

Hald Internasjonale Senter

Velkommen til Hald Internasjonale Senter!

I guess you understand this sentence. When we left home, we were told that we will eat bread all the time but i didn't know that it will be that "all the time" : twice a day, bread! nei nei nei lol!

I think i should thank God i have enough food, more than enough! there are some people, many people in this world starving, or just don't eat when they are hungry and i still find time to complain because i can eat!

Well, life at Hald is easy, not stressing, classes are relaxing! break every 45min! just amazing!

Day is long but since it's long it's not enough. There are so many things I want to do that I plan to do and those I have to do but even if I sleep in the early morning, still i'm not satisfied.Next day the same.

Some words i know?

Of course, the first day we had Velkommen! then god morgen, tusend takk, nei, ja, hva heter du?

finally, i think i have enough words for today, but here is a song i really love, we sang it the first time we went to church i Mandal.



"Ingen på jorden er himlen så nær som barnet han tar i sin favn"



Jeg snakker ikke mye norsk men jeg lærer!

Sees!
