The flight to Oslo went very smoothly, I much prefer Norwegian Airlines to Ryanair. Eric found me after minimal confusion, we found our out-of-the-city hostel, bought food, and relaxed.
Then the next day we headed into the conference (out of town also, but on the other side), checked in, then wandered the city a bit. We saw an opera house that is reminiscent of Sydney, a couple okay parks, the super sweet harbor, and an old fortress grounds. But I think our favorite views were from the mountain where the conference was held.
A reception at the city hall had us feeling all fancy, and I was twitterpated with all the open-minded and unique people at the conference. My favorite part was when I went to the bathroom and someone came out of the mens room, held the door open for me and said "Your choice." Second favorite part? Either all the cool things I learned, or the mounds of delicious food.
Now we are in Goteborg for another sex conference, and today I met members of the AASECT. I know that whatever I do in my life, I want to be promoting sexual health and education. I feel so at home with these people and I get so passionate at the symposiums. It just feels right. I am so happy right now. I didnt realize how much I missed academia.
But sleep is lacking, the sun only goes down for a couple hours up here. And I am busy busy busy (which is why I dont post). Cant believe I have less than a month left on this trip!!!
I will try and be better at posting, truly.
