The Police Station and downtown.

On Monday we had to go downtown to the police station to turn in our passports so Ave and I could get our Visa's. This was an experience to say the least. We had to get to the police station before 7 am, to stand in line with the other immigrants so that when it opened at 8am we could get a front spot in another line were we got a number. With the exception of one lady that cut everyone was very polite and respectful about the place they took in line according to when they showed up at the station. Once we got our number we had to wait until 9am for the station to actually open and then we had to wait for our number to be called. The whole process took until roughly 11 am and by then Ave (and I) were getting pretty grumpy. This Monday we have to go back to pick up our passports stamped with our Visa's but luckily we don't have to wait in line this time and then once we get the passports we have to go to the tax office and fill out more forms.

After the police station we walked downtown to find a place to eat. We ended up at a coffee shop were we paid the equivalent of $50 for three sandwiches, a waffle for Ave, a latte, two hot teas and a glass of milk (it is not cheap to eat out here.) Then we wandered around a little. We hit a grocery store so my Mom could check out the local goods before getting on the bus back to the apartment. It was a long but productive day.
Trondheim Torg, a central square downtown.
The only McDonald's in Trondheim. Norwegians do not like corporations and shy away from places like McDonalds.
The family outside that place we ate.
Mom in front of an old building. Next time I'll read up on what it is.

Burger King, Trondheim has a few of these, apparently they like the King better than McD's.
