The Munkegata Chronicles: RadioRevolt hyttetur

Posted in The Munkegata Chronicles on Februar 27th, 2009 by kyynel

The Radiogjengen (radio gang/crew), which I joined some weeks ago, organizes a hyttetur (DE: Hüttentour; EN: cabin trip) for the members twice a year. As learning more about the Norwegian culture was one of my main reasons to join the Samfundet society (besides gaining more marketing experience), I simply couldn’t miss that opportunity. Especially after having spent almost 10 h/day at the university that week, because of that industrial marketing case assignment we had to deliver.
The to the Norwegian YMCA (!) belonging Triangelheimen cabin lies approx. 90km away from Trondheim in the municipality of Meråker. We arrived somewhat around 6 or 7 in the evening and found that wonderful cabin with rooms on three floors in the middle of the snow (the driver would almost have missed it and we had to call Sverre, our Gjengsjef.. I love Norwegian.. who arrived in beforehand) . . . . .

The Munkegata Chronicles: Maggus back in town

Posted in The Munkegata Chronicles on Februar 22nd, 2009 by kyynel

Maggus Hörbst is back in T-town for a visit straight from Solingen (..thats more of a running gag between us two as I used to mix up Solingen with Giessen, and I kept on nagging him ;) ). He arrived at Sunday night where I picked him up on the half way down to Lerkendal, looking almost like one of these guys leaving for Afghanistan.. he was visibly missing his car. He would be here till Wednesday, missing the weekend, but due to the just ongoing ISFiT student festival in Trondheim (which was hosted by, and partially in, Samfundet) we had a good program on Monday and kept on partying at the private hybelen till 6am. After the chill out Tuesday we visited the Paint-my-House event at the Nidarosdomen and later left for the central station as Markus train would leave at 23:30. He would take the train+bus up to Narvik (he surprisingly got the same CouchSurfing host as we did for our Spanish tour), later to Tromsø and will be back for another day on Monday.
