Parouckh Party

A couple of times a year all of our friends + friends of friends gather at this old fantastic white swiss villa house at Gran outside Oslo. There's room for everyone, so we stay over night and let time fly with cooking, chatting, dancing, and usually some sort of game. Last time we all brought a wig - the result follows...

It's minus 20 degrees these days here in Oslo.

x-mas with the homeless

As usual I spent december 25th as a volunteer at ALTERNATIV JUL (the alternative x-mas) which, on it's 41st year, is x-mas celebration for homeless people or simply those who don't have a place to go during x-mas.

In "Folkets Hus" in oslo lots of nice x-mas food is served, there are white cloths on the tables, a huge christmas tree, entertainment and lots of gifts.



It's a wonderful initiative, and hundreds of people come every year and are super grateful for the effort. I always have lovely conversations with people who live a completely different life than I do. And it's great to "de-mystify" issues such as drug problems and homelessness.

this year I took my younger brother and cousin (by the way, check her new styling-website http://annestinebae.com/) along.
