SWY21 meeting in Tromsø
October 18th, 2009 by SWY
Siri, Malin and Cathrine from SWY21 met up for a mini reunion in Tromsø October 9th-10th.
We got a guided tour by Siri at The University of Tromsø, the northernmost university of the world, and ÁRDNA – The University Sámi Cultural House.
Tromsø is called “Paris of the North” so a major part of the stay had to be spent in cafes and bars to get a fully understanding of the city culture.
