Utopia

When I search Utopia on google.no I got 67 700 000 results. I found two links that caught my attention, one about a music festival called Utopia, and one about a hotel called Utopia World Hotel.

Utopia Music Festival is a festival placed in Hawrelak Park in Edmonton, Canada. It is an annual music festival in the summertime. Last year it was in the middle of June, but the information for 2012 hasn't come out jet. The festival have some known and some unknown artists playing, such as Ani DiFranco, LIGHTS, David Usher and Suzie McNeil. The range of music genres a wide, with folk, reggae, electronic and acoustic pop. Utopia is open for all ages, and to addition to music you will also find gourmet cuisine, The Utopian Village and market to find earth, animal and friendly items. There is something for everybody at Utopia who's focus in unity, diversity and love.

This is a festival I would love to attend, especially last year when LIGHTS was there. I like what I read, and want to experience as many festivals I can, and Utopia is now on my list.

Utopia World Hotel is a five star hotel in Syedra, Turkey. The hotel contains 559 rooms in total, and 1118 beds. Utopia offers a aquapark and spa, the aquapark contains many pools, one with 300 meters of length and countless water slides. The spa is there for you and offers a fitness center with a sea view, jacuzzi, a indoor pool, Turkish bath, a sauna, steam room, masseurs, and much more. If you can't get your relaxation on this trip, it's not the hotels fault. The hotel don't only provide for relaxation, if you feel a little restless, they have a big range of activities you can do.

They have a tennis court, mini football,volleyball field, mini basketball, table tennis, water polo, aerobics, billiards, motorized water sports and non-motorized sports.

Utopia World Hotel looks like a very nice hotel, with a lot of stuff to do. I would love to go there once.

My home, Lørenskog

I come from a town called Lørenskog, 20 minutes with train from Norway's capital, Oslo. I've lived there since I was four, and I don't remember that much from that time, but what I remember is that there were old buildings, not that many of them, and a lot of family houses. A lot have changed in Lørenskog since that time.

Lørenskog don't have a city status, something that the mayor desperately want. Lørenskog is getting bigger every year, with extended malls, upgraded and new schools, a new culture house, new buss terminal, a new public park, a new hospital, and this only in a few years. It is getting discussed if we are getting the metro from Oslo all the way out to Lørenskog too. In addition to all of this, it has also been build a lot of new houses, residential areas and a lot of people are rebuilding their houses to big "Hollywood" houses.

The people has also changed a lot, when my family moved to Lørenskog, we were three families with children in the street. A lot of the older people have moved to smaller apartments and sold their houses to new families with children. My family is one of the old ones in the street now. I live in a perfect place to race children, ten minutes walking distance to the primary school, lower secondary school, and one of many upper secondary schools. We live in between the train station and the center of Lørenskog, with the malls and buss terminal. We also have a big forest on the edge, it's a nice place to take a bike trip, and in the winter we get ski tracks.

I like to live in Lørenskog, I'm not the biggest fan of all the building, but it makes it easier to get around.

Here are the view from my bedroom - you can also see one of the big new houses to the left
