The last day of the exchange
Yesterday was the last day of our Palestinian friends Bashir, Issa and Mariam's visit to Norway. We had talked about the famous (at least in Bergen) aquarium for more than a week, so we decided to go there. Among the many things we saw, the crocodiles, penguins, seals and snakes were probably the most interesting. We even got to feed some super-sized gold fish. After having been at the aquarium for about two hours, we had some lunch, then played some Xbox - or in Mariam's case, chatted on Messenger ;-)In the evening we went to Magnhild's place, where the goodbye party was held. We ate the delicious Mexican food Tacos, played some games, sung some songs and had some speeches, as well as an evaluation of the Palestinian's stay in Bergen. As the night grew older, it was time to say goodbye to our dear guests. It was very sad of course, but all good things must come to an end. I know that many people have been moved by the stories the Palestinians have told, and we have all appreciated the Bergen-Beit Sahour exchange - hopefully the first of many.
