Thought it might be interesting for you to see the people whom I work with! This is the staff photo taken two weeks ago, in the embassy garden. Present is Norwegian diplomatic staff, Norwegian local staff and Ethiopian local staff (programme officers, drivers, cleaners and secretaries) We look like one happy lot, don’t we?:) Anyways, it’s a really nice place to be working, although my last days haven’t exactly been too busy…..I have been reassured that I will be given more tasks very soon, so I’m not worried that I will get bored! It’s nice not to be studying, but I must admit that sometimes I miss it. I feel like all the knowledge I gained while studying is now slowly disappearing from my mind. Maybe it’s because I stopped thinking...?!However, I’m filling up with new kinds of knowledge, so hopefully I won’t be completely empty when I one day leave this place!

Hey!
So nice to see your photo on the right there! You are sorely missed at the Dept. of Anthropology at the University of Bergen, I can tell you that much, and being the good student that you were, I'm sure you knowledge sticks around better than it feels like! :) Keep up the good work w the blog, it's so nice to hear about your life in Addis! I miss Africa when I read about you being there:)

Hei Solveig!
Kjekt å følge med på bloggen din. Trenger absolutt input fra den store verden utenfor Bergen. Fint å kunne se bilder av det du skriver om. Satser på at jeg får til en tur for å besøke deg :)
Snakkes!
