Escape from boredom

At the hotel, in front of the computer, eating crackers, which is the only thing I dare eat due to my tummy bugs…doh!! Imagine that was hard, when having a presentation earlier today and suddenly felt the urge to throw up…spit flodded in my mouth and I had to say..”I think I need a five minute break boys…”

I did arrive here at Noisy-Le-Grand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-le-Grand a couple of hours ago. Had to go straight out and get some food, since it had been quite a long journey even though it is not that far from Oslo. Due to weather conditions at Gardermoen we where delayed, and the whole journey took almost 7 hours from I left home. No wonder I was hungry.

I took the train from the airport

Had to go all the way to downtown Paris to change there and go out here afterwards. Took me almost one and a half hour I do belive.

Not much to see when riding on the train.

Charles de Gaulle airport is quite difficult to find your way around in when you haven’t been there frequently. The same goes for the Paris metro, which I spent 10 to 15 minutes trying to find out where to find the next train.

Finally at the hotel, just to realize that the restaurant not opens until seven o’clock, so I had to walk over to the “Centre Commercial Arcad’s” to find some place to eat. Not easy to find my way there as well, walking around in the parking house next to the centre

…this might happen

I’ve subscribed for a monthly season ticket at Oslo Sporveier a couple of days ago, and today I got a SMS-message saying

Hei Rune Hellem, Velkommen som A-kortsabonnent. Abonnementet starter fra 1 mars. Kontakt sporveien på 81544411 ved endring.

neat!

Supposed to attend a meeting at work today and needed to find the way. I used the map service at Gule Sider (Yellow Pages) and the result was kinda funny. The trip which by car should not take more than 5 minutes instead is stipulated to 14 minutes. Why? Take a close look at the picture, Start and Stop are quite close, but the route is drawn all the way out to Tusenfryd just to make a turn back. Click on the picture to view it in full size.

The whole route can be found here http://gulesider…
