A quite exciting visit indeed 



Last week we were so lucky to get Espen Barth Eide - the Norwegian minister of foreign affairs to our school. He was followed by two security guards into our gymnasium, and if you’re wondering if he came with a limo, I’m afraid I can’t answer that question because we were already at our seats when he came into the room. A splendid applause was given as soon as he entered the room, and when he came onto the stage, he started talking about what his job is all about. At the end we asked him some questions that we had on our minds. I didn’t bother to ask him a question because I didn’t know what to ask him, but I can tell you that some of our questions were about the situation in Syria and his opinion on it. He told us that he is not happy with it and hopes, like the rest of us, that something will be done as soon as possible. He also said something about the banned chemical weapons which I don’t quite remember. After he had answered all our questions we simply thanked him and he left our school. He is after all the minister of foreign affairs so he’s got a lot of work to do.

  2. Thank you for your comment! I fully agree with you that my posts are too short and that they could be more detailed, but I just didn't have enough time at some points so I just wrote a short and precise text instead of a long and less precise one. I will however write longer texts in the near future, so make sure to stay tuned. :)

  3. Yes I expect he does! I agree with Dain Fern, you might have written more about the different topics he addressed during the lecture!

  4. I was expecting a long, long post Dimi! What happened? Anyhow, you're straight to the point in your post. I also wonder if he came in a limo - we should've checked that out!
