In Norway Halloween is a new thing. The stores are really pushing it and getting the children interested with costurmes and candy!! I made sure to start every class off with telling them Happy Halloween.
Today is a really rainy day in Husnes, and usually I like rain but I have PE today which means I will be outside in the downpour. Luckily, half of the students were inside so I got to join them and stay warm. We played dodgeball but they have a little different rules. We split up into two teams and they had 2 Kings. Each King had 3 lives and started on the opposing teams end line. We played with only one ball.
If you got a player out they didn't go to the sideline they went to the opposite side end line. The players could throw the ball to them and they could throw it and get the players out.
In FCS today we were talking about fat. Since most of the lecture is in Norwegian I decided I wanted to show them how we have so many fast food resturant and how this is contributing to the obesity in America.
When I
ask the kids what they think of when they hear American food and they say
McDonalds and Burger King. I see a HUGE
difference in Norway as they do not have fast food restaurants in Husnes or
Rosendal. I decided to take them on a
“tour” of my town and show them the main strip of restaurants. I got on Google street view and we “drove”
through all the restaurants: Applebees, McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, and many
more. The kids were jealous of all our
options but I reminded them that these okay if you have them once in a while,
but with so many and it being so cheap that is why America is becoming more
obese.
