Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged yet this week - it's going to be short, too, as I really have to walk home and organise myself to go to the island of Suðuroy tomorrow with my band...
Not very keen on the walking thing at the moment, though, as we have a SNOWSTORM. Yup, snow!
It's beautifully white outside and I love it.
Ah yeah so this week ... what has happened?
WELL, the Faroes had their election and this uber republican party, Tjóðveldi won. This is massive as they're strongly for severance of the connection with Denmark - so the Faroes may just be independent by the time I leave.
Hmm yeah that was on Saturday night and I was at my host aunt Sára's place where her husband Pall, who thinks I'm hilarious because I'm from New Zealand, brought out a bottle of Montana wine in my honour. I was so confused. You can't buy it here. I think he had it imported from Denmark.
On Friday night I had a really insane party to attend and no doubt you will all eventually see the photos - my friend Jeffri's 18th in this funny little village called Miðvágur. We came back on the bus at about 9AM the next morning, just as the sun rose (we didn't sleep. Don't be ridiculous. This is the Faroes) to see Havn under a fresh blanket of snow. It was the most beautiful morning I have ever seen. I did have fun trying to get into our house, though, as the uphill driveway was hideously slippery.
But yeah...not much else has been happening. School, you know ...
Anyways, must go and brave the snowstorm!
