Norway 25th-30th Aug

Norway.... land of Vikings and of trolls... of terrible tales and heroic voyages. Also a land of fjords and wonderful sceneries that only New Zealand can rival with.

Bergen is Norway's 2nd largest city, after Oslo. But it is so different from Oslo. It seems that Bergens to not consider themselves to be part of Norway.... or so the tour guide said as we took a quick bus tour around the city's attractions. Must be the region thing, which is not at all uncommon in Europe.

So here are some photos to titilate your senses... and a quick note to the last few photos on food... in order... whale meat, reindeer, and moose. Yes, you have read it correctly... those 3 are Norway's specialities... ^_^

Yours trolly.... J

Hey su!

The whale meat...hmm... strange? Although I am used to all the raw meat that I eat in Japan, but the whale meat is quite different. Apparently they marinate it with spices and stuff, and it seems that it is not an easy dish to prepare....

BUt yup, am having a whale of a time over here ^_~
