In Europe, Christmas Eve is the big day. Presents are opened and lots of food is eaten. It's a strange feeling to be wished a Merry Christmas while thinking... "but it's not Christmas yet" I'm getting used to it though by stuffing a 7kg turkey and roasting up some bacon potatoes. Let's see how this bad boy turns out. Last year in Whistler the turkey turned out pretty damn well- but I had a lot more time to cook then: all day in fact.
The guests are coming in droves now. I have been taking private lessons for several days now and now with the tour groups arriving; the group classes began today. It's nice to finally be working. Thankfully most of the guests are coming from England so the language thing is not an issue, but I have had a couple of Norwegian kids which is proving to be a little difficult. I'm sure it'll get better with time- crazy Norwegians. I am finding it pretty good talking with the Swedes who work here- but sometimes it feels like I will never get Norwegian... even if I wanted to!
I am effectively bankrupt at the moment; thankfully it's only temporary as I have started working and expect my last paycheck from Stockholm in the next few days. I can breathe out again any day now.
