OSLO --> BRISBANE



Got up early February 5th, was running around like a headless chicken trying to remember what to pack and not to forget anything. We (Me & my family) left the house around 15:00, this was so hard to do because we might be selling the house before i get back to Norway and we have lived there for 13 years. Through out the morning i was crying all the time, so much it actually started to annoy the hell out of me. Haha!

Got to the airport, cried like i've never cried before. One of the toughest things i've done, to say bye to the family not knowing when you are going to see them again..in 1 year or 3 years? Got to my gate and just waited for the plane. Cried when the plane took off from Oslo.

 


2 hours something on the plane to Frankfurt, got two free drinks and a pretzel (Did not eat, looked well nasty haha) from a lady who looked like a chewed up toffee left in a sun bed for 16 hours...



When i got to Frankfurt (been there once before) we got off the plane, into a bus, then i got lost so i ganged up with two norwegian boys going to Gold Coast, took a train to the right terminal, tried to find Air Etihad check in, took ages, checked in and got to terminal just on time..Frankfurt airport is waaaay to big!

This time the plane was packed and was going to take 6-7 hours to Abu Dhabi. Met some strange people on the plane, tried to sleep, did not sleep, had some strange food, tried to watch TV.



When we got off the plane in Abu Dhabi the sun was just popping up (aka sunrise lol) and there was sand all over the place (again, desert). Tried to take a pic but we were rushed to a bus that took us to the terminal. I was lost again, so i started walking around with this norwegian girl who was going to Sydney. Our flight wasn't up on the screen so we had to go and ask someone where we had to go. Found out where, went to bathroom to brush teeth and change clothes, waited for plane and tried not to fall asleep at the gate (Hadn't slept at all since Norway!). 

Abu Dhabi

Got on the plane after waiting for an hour or so, this time it was going to take about 6 hours again( ..i think) to Singapore. I tried sleeping with no luck, ended up watching Megamind and some other stuff, and eating..Felt like we were being fed ALL the time! After about 6'ish hours we were about to land in Singapore, but on our way down they said on the speaker that if you are caught with drugs you might be sentenced to death...Did not have drugs on me (Of course), but was scared incase someone had planted it on my lol..scary!! 





Got to Singapore with no problem, had to get of the plane and wait 40 min to get back on. Waited, went through security check again and got on the plane. This time i managed to sleep about 2-3 hours i think, because my TV was busted and i had nothing better to do, plus i was knackered! Met two girls (Sisters, bout my age) who were sitting next to me on the plane from Abu Dhabi to Brisbane. They were really nice and we exchanged emails :) Just can't find the piece of paper where i wrote it down on now :S



Singapore

We got to Brisbane about 7 hours later, there was almost no one in the airport so it went really quickly to get through passport control, baggage claim, customs and so on. The people there were really funny and nice :) One guy who checked my declaration card asked me what the best thing to come out of Norway was, i was tired and confused so i said "Snow?" lol..He said with a thick aussie accent "No, wrong answer, its you!"..Haha! 


Had to wait for my driver because of traffic for about 10-15 min, but when he came we walked out of the airport and it was soooo hot! Kinda felt like a hot summers day in Spain.. I don't know what it was, but the minute i got into the car i just started yakking and yakking with the driver..Over tired, maybe? First we dropped off another student at a homestay, then we drove right next to the Brisbane river on our way to my campus. 



Got to my campus and the driver helped me to the Hub to check in. Will write about my first day in another post, because this one is getting quite long. Will be posting a lot more stuff soon :)
