oslo cruise - more pics

in this trip there were many nationalities represented and, for my delight, there was a constant and inevitable confusion of tongues. i tried to hang around with as many different groups as possible, but my most frequent company was a group composed by a spanish, a dutch, a german, an austrian and a brazilian. being with them meant also changing languages all the time and once, just for fun, we decided that everyone should speak its own language. in this opportunity even the frenchman nicolas from had joined us. it was really funny, specially for me, the only one to understand all the languages. that was our own private babel.
