Typical AW-activity in Stranda, Norway

Hi, my name is Rickard I work at Stabburet AS, a part of Orkla Brand Foods. My title is management trainee and I'm doing my second rotation here in Stranda.

As this is my first posting on this blogg I thought it would just be boring to read about what I've done so far on my six months on the job. So, I thought I could show you guys a typical after work (AW) activity here in Stranda :)

Since the sun was shining from a clear sky this afternoon the choice of activity was obvious; I climbed a mountain. Not a very high one (ca. 1500 moh), but anyway. It might not the first option for everyone. To be honest, 5 weeks ago when I first got here it wasn't an option for me either. But since then I've understood that climbing mountains is actually pretty OK (which perhaps makes me a bit crazy...).

The picture shows me smiling after the successful ascent. At the back of the picture you see Stranda sqeezed in between the mountains and the fjord. The white indstrial building in the center of the picture is one of the factories on which I work and from now on, and for some time, I'll be sharing my experience on the job with you on this blogg. I hope you'll find it intresting!
