Greetings from Trondheim Norway

hello, everyone. As most of you know, the Ike hurricane hit houston a couple of days ago and wiped out Galveston and only mildly damaged parts of houston. From what I heard, most people didn't sustain that much damage, other than the occasional tree being uprooted and falling on houses and of course the power outages everywhere. Of course, that is all that I can gather from the news, from the internet because as luck would have it, I'm in Trondheim Norway. I've been in Norway for 5 days now. I traveled to Stavanger for some work and then headed to Trondheim for more work. Of course I was planning to fly back on Friday, but the Houston airports have been shut down since thursday before Ike's arrival on Sat. Therefore all KLM flights to Houston have been cancelled and that is all that is known for right now. As I am writing this, I still don't know when I'll get to make it home. Hopefully they will open the airports soon and I will be able to fly home. I'm actually not minding being here though. I actually have electricity, good food and of course this beautiful country!!! Norway is so beautiful and people here are amazingly friendly. The weather today is about 15 deg celcius, and it's clear blue skies. I picked a really good time of the year to be stuck here!! I've taken a lot of pictures and when I get home, I'll be able to upload them. I've met some locals that have shown me partying Norwegian style....OMG they drink like Vikings and smoke like the Japanese...even the partier in me had to take a day off...and that's saying a lot. LOL Hopefully all my friends and family are safe and are not getting cabin fever. I think I'll go to the pubs again soon and drink with some more locals...Hahahaha..until further notice, this is Trung from Norway...peace out kids.

and remember, behave yourselves..
