Christmas in Kabul
There is no way this is going to be a white christmas (rather a brown christmas) but I guess it's okay. I think it's going to be a good experience for me seeing this from another view. I'm still having a great time with good friends and I'm not lonely either. That's more than you can say for some.
Merry christmas everyone :)

It's getting colder here
Kabul is starting to get colder these days. The temperature varies from around 0 c at night up to 20 c daytime. 0 degrees feels much colder here than 0 degrees in Norway and especially northern Norway. I remember the coldest days in the conscription period when the temperature would fall to -30 degrees and we stood outside early in the morning waiting to get in to the mess and have some breakfast. When the temperature later in the year rised to 0 c the guys in the breakfastline started wearing only t-shirts because it felt so warm...
Anyway, I've been in Kabul for more than half the contigent now and the end is closing in. I can feel I'm looking forward becoming a civillian again and start studying.
I'm having good days here, it's relatively quiet here but I've seen and done many cool things, and I will never regret I went to this warm and dry country.

Loooong time no see...
It has been two months since last time I posted something on my blog... I guess I had layed it dead, but now it's back.
I have been in Kabul for one month now and I've gotten in to the work and routines. I'm actually having a good time here.
When I first came here I was starteled that there was any grass and trees at all, I had imagined a total desert-land, but it's only close to it... There are actually some trees and some bushes groing here and there and I don't understand where they get their resources from.
Anyway, Kabul has been relatively quiet the passing month. It's going to be interesting when we get closer to the elections in september. I hope it works out in a peacefull way.
Cheers :)

ISAF VIII Training started
A lot has happened lately, I'm no longer a part of my old platoon. I've signed the contract that says I'm a part of ISAF VIII, I've never been closer to Kabul...
The weekdays we now spend in another camp, training to be prepared for whatever we may meet down i Kabul.
I'm getting more and more excited to get started with the mission every day now.

Morning in Tromsø
The waiting is over...
Last week I got the final message that I will be a part of ISAF VIII in Kabul from this summer on. The mission-specific training starts this week and from now on it's only gona get more and more interesting.
Right now I'm on a weekend leave in Tromsø and I've just enjoyed a nice breakfast at the hotel I'm staying at.

Sunny days
It's raining. The good thing is that it starts to wash away the tonns of snow surrounding me everywhere.
Not long now before the spring is here, we can allready see the start of it. We're now in the part of the world with the longest lasting days. The light lasts for more minutes every day and it will eventually end up with the beautiful midnightsun. I'm not shure when it comes, but I hope I'll get to see it before I go to Kabul.
This picture was taken earlyer this year, It was actually the last day of an exercise and the first time we saw the sun this year!
I can't imagine a better ending of an exercise.
