The best prank of all time.
I am in Oslo!!!! Flying over Norway was a ridiculous experience, it is so beautiful here. Last night, Kelli (who I'm staying with, a friend from home) took me out with some of her friends. Tobias and Stian met us in the park and we made hotdogs on a little disposable grill. We drank vodka from waterbottles and put the hot dogs on tortillas with dried onions and ketchup. Tobias was trying to teach me some Norwegian, but it is really hard to pronounce a lot of their sounds. I did learn how to say "Melkesjokolade".. guess what that means! Milk chocolate! Then they all decided I needed to learn more practical phrases. I learned 'My name is....' (which right now I forgot, and google translate is wrong).. and then they told me that the most polite thing to say when introducing yourself to someone is "Nice to meet you".. They tell me in Norwegian this is "Fitteslikker".. (if you speak Norwegian, you are now cracking up).. This word is really hard to say and remember, so I'm walking around all of Oslo practicing it. In the park, Fitteslikker. On the subway, Fitteslikker. They are laughing hysterically at me, and I start to get embarrassed by my bad language skills. I'm self-conscious and ask why they're laughing! They just say it's funny to hear someone say a word in a strong accent. So the time comes when I can use my new skills. At the end of the night when we're all a little silly and drunk, Stian grabs me by the shoulders and walks me to a girl we see on the street. I say Hi, my name is Ashley... Fitteslikker! This girl looks me in the eyes, grabs my shoulders and says, "Don't ever say that to anyone again!!!" Apparently I called her a Pussylicker. That's right, a Pussylicker. And that's what I was saying - pretty confidently and loudly - throughout the entire city of Oslo. Good thing I can take a prank. We were all cracking up the rest of the night, and I commended them on their awesome pranking skill. Then, we took the subway home and walked through Kelli's beautiful town, as the sun was both setting and beginning to rise again at about 1:30 AM. Great introduction to Oslo, my Fitteslikker friends.
