Day 18 (Thu): Last day of school & Sushi

Weather: nice, cloudy but no rain
Walked: 5km + evening walks

Day 18 was a Thursday and we had our last lectures. It was a long day! We had to stay for some extra teaching in Faroese language. Phew! At the same time it was sad and also nice to get out of class and start planning the last evening with my course friends.

After the lectures we took a quick pit stop at home and then we headed out to get some sushi at Tórshavn's one and only (?) sushi restaurant Etika (click on the link to see more!). It was one of the coolest restaurants I've ever been to. The interior design was awesome! I was surprised that the price was actually reasonable, maybe even cheap (?) considering that sushi food is still thought to be a bit "hip"and "cool", so I expected a pricier menu. (Ps. Etika also has a restaurant in Copenhagen, I'm sure it's also worth a visit.)

And as it seems, I only eat sushi abroad!:) This was my second time at a sushi restaurant, my first was in St. Petersburg last year (2009). So I'm definitely not a connoisseur, but I have to say that I loved it! The Norwegians ordered a ton of small things (a larger portion than ours) and we all did our best with the chopsticks.. Hah, great fun! A tired old joke: No wonder the Asians are so skinny, they have to eat with chopsticks!:)

Our sushi plate. Delish!

Needed some help with the eating;)

Afterwards we went to get hold of the rest of the group that were watching a football (soccer) game, Denmark vs. Japan - the Danes didn't want to miss the game, which is why we didn't have any Danes with us at the sushi restaurant. Apparently Denmark had lost: a surprising turn of events!

It was a bit cold outside so we headed in to cafe/bar Circus, an underground bar in the heart of Tórshavn. I stayed out until maybe 01 o'clock? Headed home because Circus closed shortly after we arrived. Hmph! *dislike* Just when we started having some serious linguistic fun!
