yup, that's what my middle name (alvheid) means in old norwegian
i tried poi for the first time this autumn, got addicted, and some days ago i lit them up too i didn't burn myself, that must be a good thing 
but off course, still much more for me to learn

Hello and welcome! Your school sounds like an amazing place. Do you learn spells and play Quidditch too?
Since there's a name discussion, I'll share with you that my full legal name is Constantine. Don't know what it means, but he was a Roman emperor. The first to convert to Christianity and stop the persecution of the Christians. I go by Khan in reality. On this forum I'm blueboy, because I like spinning blue things (when I don't spin fire).

hi birgit now i have to think, there are many nice places in bergen but somehow i can't remember any of them when i have to
*thinking*
*more thinking*
sorry it's late and i'm tired, but try these:
https://www.visitbergen.com/default.asp?sp=GB/&bhcp=1
https://www.bergen-guide.com/
anyway, bergen is a lovely place, and you will probably be fine just walking around and explore it on your own, the city centre is so small and consentrated that you can't get lost

oh, just remembered! when in may are you in bergen? may 17. is the norwegian national day, with parades and stuff, and in the weeks before may 17. you will see a lot of people, 18-19 years old, in the same red or blue clothes celebrating they've (almost) finished school and can go to the university in the autumn. it's a tradition we have and they sometimes do weird things in public.

Last time I was in Norway was January! And it was actually at that time warmer than in Germany. Can you imagine me packing all my warm clothes, tights (I haven't worn any since kindergarten!!!!) and boots just to find out it was actually "only" -5°C for a week? But it was snowing at the Holmenkollen, so all was fine

hej alvheid, a belated
-5°C IS cold, don't let them fool you... but i do love snow (we got loads today).
I think I know one other spinner from Norway, she is called Inger Marie. but I believe she's going to study in Japan next year. (oh wait a minute, maybe she doesn't spin at all... and I just met her in the same time I met some who did... hmmm, must ask her next time on msn).
anyways, don't get distracted by people getting distracted on this board. and you'll go a long way.
here, have some hot chocodrink made with soymilk...

Thanks! Welcomes are very much welcome.
Well, I couldn't remember which was Swedish and which was Norwegian. Apologies
I do hear Norway is lovely though, and I've apparently got an open invitation to stay at a friend's place should I ever go. All I need is the couple of thousand dollars a plane ticket costs..

I'm not sure actually- I just went through all my msn chat logs with him, and he didn't mention it there. I'm pretty sure he's told me. I'll drop him and email and see what he says..

hmmm, it looks like my friend inger marie wasn't a poier after all.
she had played with the idea and swung a poi or 2 on holidays.
but my asking her about it has inspired her, she ordered/bought some poi and is starting to learn properly now.
and she does live in bergen.
