Well, I'm not There Yet...

...but I will be on Tuesday 11 October. Catching the 1150 Norwegian Air Shuttle from London Stanstead, I'll be breathing fresh Bergen air by 3pm local time.

This is Norway:

The red circle roughly shows the part of Norway where I'll be living. It's a town called Arna, near the city of Bergen and, confusingly, in the municipality of Bergen. It is in the county called Hordaland. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway, and is known as "THE GATEWAY TO THE FJORDS" among the Norwegian Tourist Board, so that's nice.

I'm in Arna to work with the youth of the local Ichthus link church; discipling as best I can and hopefully inspring them about local church. Interestingly, I'll also be working alongside the Arna scout group; tying knots as best I can and hopefully surviving eskimo rolls.

Then, come the summer, I'll be winging my way back to London. In the meantime, this is my record of what's going on in Norway. You might as well read it, I've got to be in your top five Englishmen in southwestern Norway, at least.
