Roadtrip, baby!

Tuesday (nov. 9) we rented a convertible for our roadtrip to North Shore. With Steffen and Ludvig visiting, it was extra fun to show them a side of the island that is completely different from Waikiki. We were enjoying a beautiiiful scenary... and the best bonus; less tourists around! By that, we mean giggly Asians with their peace signs and constans photosessions.

Steffen was our designated driver.

Windy ride!

On the "Sarah Marshall" spot; La'ie Point.

Anniken getting ready to jump off the cliff which was probably around 10 m. Terrified!!

Adrenaline rush!!

Ludvig took a salto... nice!

 Underwater fun at Sunset Beach.

Turtle Bay.

The best thing about getting visits from home, is that we get to share the best parts of of Hawai'i with people we love! This was an absolutely amazing day... Great company, great places, great adventures!

Halloween

October 31. is when the annual craziness in Waikiki is going down. It was our first ever Halloween celebration in the US, and we were exciiited!! Really, there is NOTHING like it! The streets are packed with people in costumes you couldn't even imagine. And with that said... drrrrrrrrrrrrrr (it's a drumroll, ok?) - drrrrrrr - the unveiling of our costumes:

Anniken went as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Raphael.

Lisa went as a warrior princess.

We started the night off with a Scandinavian pre-party at Ole Petter's appartment. About 50 people + a "couple"of gallons with booze = a great time!

Our roomate Martine as ketchup and her man, Anton, as mustard (or retard as he would say).

Here's the host himself, seeming pretty pleased to have scored the hottest hula chick at the party! (there was only one)

Then we went to Moose's, where we spent pretty much the whole time on the dance floor.

We did not just post that...

After sweating our asses off, we continued the party in the streets of Waikiki.

Hey sexy "lady"

"I see you"

Snooki and PaulyD from Jersey Shore was in town!

The night couldn't have ended any better! We went home with this hottie from Baywatch!

Sometimes, the smart choice is sooo boring!

Let us draw you a picture: It's saturday night. It's supposed to be a full weekend of Halloween celebrations. The streets are filled with happy drunks in crazy costumes. All of our friends are out partying, but not us... Nop, we're staying in, rehearsing for midterms and doing assignments. What a fun night... Noooot!!

Definetly not a happy face...

...but popcorn makes it all better!

Time for a break: stretch out...

... and listen to "Her Kommer Vinteren"

In the end, we'll be happy we made the decision to have a study night. One day without school work, and we'll have to pay for it the rest of the week. We knew there were higher requirements in American colleges, but come on!! We've never worked this hard on anything in our lives! Well, good students today means craaaziness tomorrow!! That's when the real Halloween celebration is happening, and our expectations probably couldn't be any higher. Wish all of you could join us!!

Halloween is coming up!

31th of October is only two weekends away, and we all know what that means... HALLOWEEN! In Norway we don't celebrate the same way as in the US, so we're really looking forward to this day! Americans go craaazy, and the word on the street is that all of Waikiki turns into a huge costume party. We can't wait - the only question is; what to wear?? We took a trip to Party City to find the perfect outfit.

"Spider pig, spider pig, does what ever a spider pig does"... said Homer! 

Just what we thought, Patrick and Andreas just being them selves. 

Why wear makeup when you can look just as pretty with a mask?!

Monkey say, monkey do!

Patrick has gone emo on us!

Watch out Mr. President! 

Opposites attract!?

Marilyn Monroe gone loony!

Andreas: "Red is SO my color" 

Arr arr, where's my Jack Sparrow?

We had so much fun just trying on costumes! Wonder what we bought?? Well, we'r not telling! Guess you just have to wait until the 31th! Sorry ;)

Conviction

As some of you might know, I (Anniken) has a press pass to the Hawaii International Film Festival. Because of this, I'm able to attend 26 showings, and I have to write at least 4 pieces. Today I took Andreas, Odd Martin and Lisa with me, to see the motion picture "Conviction". Ignorant about the fact that it was a true story, we were taken back at how emotional the story was. A man is convicted for murder and sentenced to life in prison. His sister devotes her life to becoming a lawyer to prove his innocence.

It was a common opinion among us that Hilary Swank is extremely convincing in her role as Betty Anne, and the motion picture is one of the best we've ever seen . It was strong and moving from beginning to end. Needless to say; we highly recommend that you go see "Conviction" when it hits theatres.

Awesome neighbors

This post goes out to our lovely neighbors, Oddy, Patty and Andy ♡ They're really something to themselves! We enjoy their company, even though thy can be cruel to us sometimes... Hey boys, guess what? So can we!

So, Oddy hows the new season of Gossip Girl...?

...And Andy, hows the womens clothing working for you?... 

...Patty, how's virgin Mary doing? Still a bit sore? 

Sorry guys we're just kidding! We really just wanted to let you know how much me appreciate you! Today we had a lazy and boring Sunday, until you made our day. Candle light dinner and some good laughs is always nice - just what we needed! Rooolig boys ;)


Looking forward to more fun with "Nordlendingan" !!


Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bug bite...  or in Andy's case, don't let Patty bite! Sharing beds is cozy, huh?
