We've had lots of rain this last week and Im really not so happy about it.
After work I walked all the way in to Oslo city again. It was beautiful sunny weather with some clouds when I started walking but the closer I got to the city the darker the clouds were. I actually made it till National theater metro station, entered and the dark clouds just bursted into tears and exploded them all over Oslo when I got off the metro at Grønland 5 minutes later. I managed to get wet during the 50 meter run from the metro station to Asylet and there I met up with the other couchsurfers.
I have made an effort in actually inviting so many of the nearby travellers that I was overwhelmed but the amount of people showing up. It was a fantastic Couchsurfing meeting !! More than 50 people showed up all in all. They did not all stay all the time but it was so amazing that so many people came !
I found a new surfer to bring home too, Sam from Australia. He started talking around 9 pm about having to leave cause his last boat would leave to the island.. I started asking him what Island and it shows the dude is sleeping in a tent in this horrible weather so I took him home and fed him and made him a bed on the couch.
But first things first ... We actually revieved a huge amount of surfers right from the start for this meeting and the amazing thing was about how many nearby travellers that had shown up. July IS THE vacation month in Norway so I shouldnt be surprised but I still was.
The thing is that although people came, went and more came to it more than 50 must have shown up and that even considering that most of the locals were travelling. Cant wait till next meeting. Lots of people noticed us having lots of fun and joined in. As the hours passed some of them got a bit sleezy as the same guy was trying to pick up girl after girl with no luck and all the others saw him hit on the girl next to him. I think there was some alcohol involved !!! Hehehe. Loooooser.
Apart from that the night was a huge success and I cant wait till next time !!!!
