I couldn’t find any English speaking debating society in Bergen, so I decided to found a society of my own - the Kitchen Chamber Debating Society. Nick and I recruited around ten exchange students to debate with us in British parliamentary style. Today was our first session in our kitchen at Hatleberg. I introduced the concept of debating and the rules to everybody and we had our first debate.

I started courses today. This week will be rather quiet with only one course (one session today and another on Wednesday).
We were only 10 students in the course “Business Location Decision” - amazing! We all introduced ourselves - that never happened in Germany! Professor Eirik Vatne is nice and started the course with a broad approach to the questions, we will be dealing with during the semester.
The literature for the semester can be found online in the it’s learning - a website for NHH-students and a compendium that includes all articles and chapters that are not online. The compendium is sold for 200 NOK at the compendium utsalgt.

All exchange students were invited into the represantative room of Norges Handelhøyskole for the matriculation ceremony: the Stupet. The regular norwegian students don’t get to see the Stupet for their matriculation ceremony - it’s a great honour to see this 100 years old room.
Deputy Rector Gunnar E. Christensen held a speech and handed out the matriculation certificates to everybody along with a short hand-shake.

I found a very nice spot just behind Gamle Bergen to go swimming - when I walked around NHH on Saturday. There is a diving bord, a ladder and even changing rooms.
Today I went back there with Nick, Florence and Ninaz. The water was quite cold, but all the more refreshing.

Today was our first day at Norges Handelshøyskole. After a short film about Bergen, which was not that interesting, we had a short introduction about NHH - information that every interested student should already have when arriving here - and the welcome week, which consists of partys from 4pm to 3am and (stupid) party games.
After this warm welcome and the administrational stuff, the social activities started.

I arrived in Bergen today. Both flights from Cologne to Oslo and from Oslo to Bergen were perfect. Two very kind students got me and another german exchange student at the Bergen Flesland Airport. The wether was nice with clear blue sky and around 20 °C.
