Haha, actually, the place is anything but. It's a bitty island off the coast of western Norway, population 10. Yes. That's ten. No joke. My host siblings and I will increase the population by 30% for a week.
I'll be there pretty much all of next week, since I have a bus out of Oslo on Monday morning and I don't come back until early the following Monday. Just enough time to grab my school books and get my butt to school. But since Oslo is a pretty good train ride from here, I'm obviously not going to be on. Actually, getting there should be interesting, since the trains'll be crowded with commuters.
Owing to the uh... tinyness of the place, there's no internet access out there, so I obviously won't be able to post. But fear not! I will return!
Assuming the bus doesn't fall off a mountain or anything, since the route goes straight through the mountains; probably because 97% of Norway is mountainous.
EDIT: Change of plans. Buses on Sunday were 90,- kr cheaper, so we leave tomorrow. Trains are 10,- kr more, but it still adds up to less. We just have to REALLY hope we don't miss the last ferry.
