Skype: A Conversation with Lofoten
Today our grade seven class comunicated via Skype with friends from the Lofoten Islands, which are located in Northern Norway. They found out that their friends are now in a period of 24 hour darkness, that a storm was raging and that the temperature was a chilling -5° C. Our friends found out that our class had just written a history test and that they were going to a presentation about the opera.
This is what it looks like to live at latitude 68° N, and what it is like in Southern Europe. This is what a typical day in our school is like, which are our favourite films, favourite music, and favourite topics of conversation. Today our friends seemed a bit withdrawn while we were very excited. Was this because of our cultural differences, differences in climate or just by chance? We would like to find out next time.
