"Just" by seconds missed the bus, so, as I´ve an hour to wait, will quickly write a little Culture post. Halloween Weekend!

1) Today, Saturday. Othello at the movie theater. Live from the NY Metropolitan Opera. See previous post and link.

2) Sunday . Halloween Nightmare Before Christmas, supper, opening halloween pressies, wearing halloween costumes; and Halloween at the Aquarium:



"  28. October we celebrate Halloween at the Aquarium. Dare you visit the Aquarium's slimy, crawling and coiled animals in complete darkness? Put on your scariest costume and bring a torch! The aquarium will be filled up by the creepy creatures that lurks in dark scenes, distributing witches brew and snacks and telling scary stories. There will be face painting and a close encounter with spiders and snakes.

Aquarium hosts Halloween in collaboration with Fana Folkehøyskole. The set of over 40 actors, makeup artists and decorators. This is going to put the character in the evening and make it special  "

3) Monday:  cafe coffee chat/ bus to Aquarium....then walk back through Nordnes, passing and maybe stopping at USF

4) Tuesday. Study. Study Study. Hopefully meet friends out for drinks at Dr Viesner´s:)

5) Wednesday. Halloween Night at the UIB Museums. See previous posts and links to UIB site.

The Holiday season is long and filled with endless things to do! Lots of family activities mixed with cultural situations, such as celebrating halloween activities at museums. Lots of other activities, in general also, such as seeing Otello live from NY Met but here at the movie theater.

This weekend is also the end of hosting the International event, having such things as Soups & Stories (ordinary people telling their stories of life in war torn countries, whilst sharing soup with those listening); Stories and discussions on places from Darfur to Isreal; awareness of cultural and other events in the world. Music and food festivals including people from various countries, to share with others their native music and food, and the influence these have made on others countries.

The International (forget the exact name) event re work, included work info from various large and small companies; job fairs; and fun stuff to do, such as free concerts.

Free concerts to raise awareness and money for charities.

Reggae music disco in Festplassen for kids and parents/ who ever. Things like that, all over the sentrum in the last week til next. A usual thing here, there is always something going on--usually many things going on, too many to see them all. Many free.
