Day 4: lectures and city bus tour

Engineers, take notes: bronze murials are not to be placed
outside in humid weather conditions,
especially not on white walls.
They leak.
This advice was given to you by
a humanities student (no charge!;)

Weather: cloudy, windy and cold (but no rain)
Walked: 2 km

Today's lecture's were:
1. Faroese language (numbers and weekdays)
2. Faroese literature and post-colonialism.

After school we planned to go to the Museum of Natural History, but fortunately I checked the museum's homepage beforehand and it was already closed. So instead we went on a free bus tour on the Tórshavn city bus, route number one. We waited quite long in the cold breeze and chatted up some guy at the bus stop. He was clearly amused that we wanted to go and were so excited about going on a bus ride across Tórshavn:) Aww. The boy at the bus stop was kinda cute:)

We ended up taking a full circle with bus route number one. We got on bus route two, but when we got to the center the tired looking bus driver walked up to us. He asked skeptically if we were really going to Argir, a township nearby, nowadays a part of Tórshavn. We looked confused, and he explained that he was going there, but that at this hour the tour would take a break in Argir which would mean 20 minutes of walking and/or freezing up in the hills. So, thanks to the nice bus driver, we thought it to be better to get off in the city centre and walk home.

At home I ate some more Wasa knäckebröd and Fanny had made some delicious rhubarb pudding. Yumyum!

Kuulostaa ihan tyypilliseltä färsaarelaiselta bussikuskilta, sikäläiset ovat yleensä tosi auttavaisia! Ja raparperi färsaarelaisittain on ihanaa...

On muuten ihanaa elää sitä reissua uusiksi sun blogin kautta! Jonain päivänä vielä palaan sinne... Oletteko menossa joku päivä Kirkjubouriin?

Moikka! Kiva kuulla, että joku näitä lukee:) Ollaan menossa Kirkjubouriin nyt lauantaina (toivottavasti saadaan hyvä ilma).
