We have gone through many changes since the lockdown was implemented in Norway, in March 12th. At first, it was a shock. This invisible enemy made us act weird. I had panic when I needed to do grocery shopping. Then my husband got in charge for such errands. It’s been almost three months and we […]

Statistics show that one person infected is transmitting to 0,70 person. The number of people hospitalized with Covid-19 has declined drastically.

How is Corona quarantine affecting our friendships?
Our new home office + home schooling everyday takes time, organization, strategy, emotional intelligence. Some of us try to find time to exercise, cook, clean, wash, date. Is there any time left for our friends? What about those who don’t have children or even a partner? Physical and social distancing can affect our mental health. […]
Why are trampolines so popular in Norway?
Here in Norway, almost every house has a trampoline in the backyard. Trampolines are to Norwegians like swimming pools are to (middle and upper class) Brazilians.
