Mountaineering

Zhejiang province – Shuangfeng Senlin Gongyuan

This weekend I went on a fairly light trek 8 hours by bus south of
Shanghai. The scenery was great, but a little overly prepared for
tourists, and the sense of being in the wilderness was reduced by
paying an entrance fee when entering the area. However we had a nice
trip, and I was especially happy to see again 2 of my friends from my
previous mountain trip: Wang He and Li Hong.

在浙江爬山－双峰森林公园

这个周末我去了距上海南面要座八小时公共汽车的地方。在那里风景很优美，但是既使买票以后我还是没有感到我在野外。不过我很快乐，见到了从上次一起游览的俩个朋友。

The local guide

To ensure the safety and finding the right paths we had our own guide.
He clearly knew what he was doing, and I was especially happy as he
described me as a particularly helpful and positive team member.

当地的向导

为了安全的和对山路的了解，我们雇了一位向导。 他很好，和跟我说：＂你是好汉，你有很多爬山的经验，也经常帮助别的队员。＂

Racism

On the camping ground we met another group. They were very nice and
lent me a headlight for a while as I had forgotten my own. However
there were not only harmony, as one of the other group were very drunk
and unhappy about all and nothing. The situation was tense, and our
own plans to become a little drunk culminated when he concluding a
series of negative remarks with a harsh "go home" (to Norway).

种族主义

在野营地里我们见到了一个别的队。他们中的大多数人很友好，但是一位男的喝醉了。他很不礼貌的跟我说：＂请你回家。＂

Bugs

This grasshopper was a peculiar and moved its head in a very graceful
way. Not long before I saw one in 3 dimensions in a Panasonic IMAX
theatre in the movie "Bugs," but reality provided another few
dimensions.

蚱蜢

一个清楚颜色的蚱蜢，移动很优雅。

Early morning military drills

In order for senior middle school students to proceed with their
studies, a requirement is to take part in military drills. Students in
school uniforms are hurdled around by an authoritative commander. This
daily exercise can be monitored from my apartment window. My
university is luckily not that strict although some teachers insist
that we should sing when we come too late to classes.

早上军训

要是高中学生想要去大学读书，他们必须经过艰苦的军训生活。这训练我每天都能通过我的窗户看到。我的大学生活是幸运的，没有这些严格的训练，但是我的老师有时也比较严格，当我们迟到了就必须在班级里唱一首歌。

Memories from summer

Apart from the fact that it was a nice sunny day today, with 30
degrees, the Chinese summer passes over to memories. Part of these
memories was cooling materials of bamboo on chairs and on the bed,
air-conditioning, and the marks of wearing nothing but sandals for 4
months straight (note the lighter and darker shades on the pictures of
my foot).

难忘的暑假

今天天气很不错，太阳很好，有30度。在暑假里凉席，麻将席，空调，凉鞋都有用。上我的脚能看黑子和白子的扇形。

Autumn - a sudden arrival

My teacher told me: ”from looking at you and your classmate from Kazakhstan I can’t really figure out what season it is, you’re in shorts, t-shirt and sandals; him in jeans, woolen sweatshirt, and boots.” Shit the summer is over. Even if it is still around 25+ degrees here, the sudden change down from around 40 makes it feel quite cold. I had a meeting tonight, but it was cancelled because my contact got flu, I take the hint – I should wear warm clothes too.

秋天 －突然来了
我位老师王婵娟告所我＂不能看什么季节是，你有短裤子，汗衫，和拖鞋， 但是你的哈萨克斯坦来的同学有牛崽裤，毛衣，和靴子＂。糟糕夏天结束了！即使还有２５温度这里，我习惯了热天气，和现在是一点冷。我应该有一个会晚上，但是我关系人不可以来因为他跟感冒生病了。我了解情况，我也应该穿热一点的衣服。
(没改正了！)

My 8 study books

The books looked kind of easy so I was a little nervous I chose a too easy level. However I was blown away by the speed of the class. Maybe it's right after all, as the requirement for entering the class were previous studies of 1500 hours.. In any case I'm about having started my quest to become "a Chinese businessman" (studying Chinese business terminology).

我的8本教科书
这些书看似简单了一点，所以我可能选择了太容易的学习水平。不过第一天在学校里看似比较难，可能我的决定还是正确的。事实上，同学们以前必须要有1500小时的学习才可以来上课。然后我很高兴开始我的安排–成为"中国的商人"(学习中文商务汉语)。

Any norwegians among these names?

The class schedules have been anounced, and I'm looking for my name. Seems I might be the only westerner anyway.
