I've about settled in already. Yesterday was a really sunny day, like Singapore weather minus the cool wind. We went to Saluhallen for lunch, which is an indoor food market. It's something like the wet market in Singapore, only much much cleaner. They have vegetables/fruits stalls as well as butchers selling meat, spices and sauces, chocolates, cakes, and also eateries.


The eateries here have lunches that are cheaper than outside. Steffi and I had different kinds of fish. Her salmon cost 60kr (SGD 12) which is much cheaper than the ones I ate before here, and my fish (I think it was dory) cost 50kr. Kat had the beef patties one which was not bad as well.

The serving may seem small but it wasn't! The mashed potato was good. I think I'll probably be coming back here often for lunch. Good recommendation, Marc! :)

After that we proceeded to the Paddan boat tour which had discount for students. It's actually my 2nd time on that thing and I have a feeling I'll hafta go for a 3rd time when Lionel and co. are here. As I said, yesterday was a glorious sunny weather so it was a good day out on the boat.


After the tour we still had 2 hours to kill before the welcome thing by the city hall, so we went back to their dorm to have dinner, where Alissa and Reema had already start preparing.

The plate of stir-fried vegetables! The potatoes and misc. were still baking in the oven so we couldn't have it. Cooking in a group can be a bit messy but it's good to have company :) But Alissa really knows her recipes and Kat too! Kat cooked like, curry chicken for herself the night before 0_O.

When we arrived at the City Hall, we were surprised to find that food was served. I closed up and saw this fried-rice-lookalike thingie and was elated for a moment.

It turned out to be salad instead :( And it turned out that they only served two kinds of salads, and nothing else. All right, white wine and red wine as well.

The interior of the city hall was really nice though. It's like a castle, with all the chandeliers and paintings on the walls. And to think that the city council treated the city's exchange students to free food and free wine! Wow.
