These are some pictures taken by me, in a park named "Mosvagnet" in Stavanger, Norway. I had lived here in Stavanger for 5 years before we moved to other places. I miss this place and I think I have born here. Everything is so familiar! May be I had lived here in my previous life! ;)
















In last 2 months we had a very difficult situation!

The story began when we traveled to Norway to renew our visas. The company's lawyer suggested max 1 week stay in Norway. Therefor we came to Norway with a suitcase and 2 hand bags. But it wasn't that easy at all! The embassey suggested few weeks! It was because they wanted to do a background check.
I felt like a refugee! We got a small appartment to live in, but we lived for the day and we couldn't make any plan for following days!
The background check took 8 weeks! and of course it took an extra week to go to embassey, give the passports and get the visas.
It is so sad and I can not get the point! We have allready lived there for a year, without any problem! I even worked as a volunteer in American Red Cross and got a positive feedback! Anyway, the wait is over! I have so many questions in my mind but I know if I come forward and ask them, there won't be any reasonable answer!
For 2 months my daughter stayed with me all the time! She didn't go to preschool and it will defenately take a few days to get use to our home and everyday rutine. It will be like a new beginning for us!

We will travel to Houston as soon as possible. I am afraid I can not enjoy the rest of our stay in Houston!

The only thing I will do in US is shopping! The prices is shocking high here in Norway!

After 6 weeks!

Well!

I am really disappointed!
We have been in Norway for 5 weeks now and still there is no news.
The point is we are waiting for renewing our US work visas and still there is no news!

Think! U have planned a week for a visa and you have a child as well. You will take few clothes and some necessary things and all of the sudden you recognize you may stay for few months!!

In this situation, we decided to take a short break and travel to Paris for a long weekend. We can spend a day or two in Disney land and go shopping in Paris, because we need some clothes. And believe me, it is not fair to buy clothes in Norway. It is double so expensive in Norway than US!

GOD plz! Help us! We need to travel back to US!
