Norway - 07/2008

Before I went to the UK, I visit Norway which are said to have the most beautiful Fiord in the world.

However, I really didn't have much time and money in one of the most expensive countries in the world, and I decided to join the "Norway in a nutshell."

It was amazing and astonishing... I think I really made a good decision!

And why I wanted to write this article suddenly, it is because I watched a Japanese channel with my parents few days before.

The NHK producers went to there to film a tourism channel~

When I talked with my parents the journy I had there, my memory just came out like a spring~

Just take this chance~ share with everybody~ how remarkble it is!

The picture above is the opposite direction of my trip.
Acturally I arrived Oslo first, then, my trip finished in Bergen~
The stop were: OSLO > MYRDAL > FLÅM > GUDVANGEN > VOSS > BERGEN
It always takes you one whole day~

I departed from Hamburg.
I spent 4 days in a lovely couchsurfing host's place.
Staying in her family is one of my best experience in Germany.
Well~ I still got ot leave~
Ha!
And I took the Noweigen Airline from there to Oslo.
When I checked in, one old lady stood in front of me who was just talking with some elders.
It was fortuitously~ she jsut sat next to me~
Technically there was a free seat between us.
I noticed that she talked with the flight attendents in another language~
After the enjoyable staying in Hamburg~ I still can't stand with a lonely time.
So I jsut tried to chat with her~
She was quite nice~
There was a routine conversation between us~
Why I can speak some German~ why I am here~ What is my next plan~
Bla~ Bla~ Bla~
But she was admired my courage to do that~
(I think many friends who read my blog now are much braver than me...)
She said she will buy me some food~
(Maybe coz I just read the menu two times and put it back....)
But I insisted to refuse her, and I also explained the habits what Taiwanese always do.
In the end, I still ordered a muffin XD
Yes, I don't have principles~
It seems to be a good start of my trip!

Oslo is really huge (not exactly)~
Specially for me, I tried to save money, and I walked across the whole city~

I did my best to find a couchsurfing place in this damn expensive city....
But I lost.... Not any positive answer at all...
There is only one hostel in Oslo whose price is under 30 Euros.
For sure~ I chose it~
The hostel is quite huge and looks like an apartment.
Six people per room with a toilet, small sink, and a refrigerater~
Quite nice, isn't it?!
When I went in the room~ there is left only 2 beds.
A French guy talked to me actively~
He is a chef and had a holiday here~ just tried to chat with her Brasilian girl friend via Skype~
The beds there are one top and one down~
I chose the up one~
Based on his suggestion, it is possible to walk to the most famous park in Oslo (above two pictures).
I just did it~
This city is not really beautiful~but they have 7-11~
The price there still shocked me a lot~
Same~ I got lots of food material in the supermarket~
A fresh lettuce, milk, box of ham, toast~
Great!

The park is good~
Everybody will touch the penis of the angry kid~ it is so shnny~
The tower is also great~
The sculpter made his work on a siggle pillar~
There are more than one hundrends lively on the pillar~
It is kindly rough but detailed~
Still~ it made me have a profound image~
When I went back to my hostel, it is almost 8:30pm~
The sky is so bright...
After taking a shower and reading some more information for the next day~
I went to sleep around 10:30pm.

GOD!!!!
Somebody is touching me!!!
Not waiting to have any second thought, somebody blamed on me!!!
"What are you fucking doing on my bed!'
"Are you sick man!"
"How come when I come back there is a damn ass hole sleep on my bed!"
Well~ here is the story~
When I came back from the park.
The upper bed I chose which was occupied by another people~
I think maybe he really like the upper one~
I just moved back my stuffs from the desk to the dower one~
But there is a blanket on the top~
I asked the French guy~
He siad that place should be free~
I just move that DAMN blanket to the desk~
And the coming story you all know that....
The American came back drunk who found out somebody slept on his bed~
And started to scream on me~

Nobody comes to help me~
It was so loud~
I was sure everybody was awake~
sigh... this is world la~
I tried to explain on him what happened~
But he didn't give me a chance to do that~
I just realized that there is a empty bed with a mess sheet i nthe corner~
Got it!
The stupid hostel didn't change the sheet....
It made all of us think that place is occupied
I was a smart but weak Asian~
I moved to that bed to have the rest of my sleep.
My train will leave at 6am~
Got to wake up at 5am~
Funny~
The mean and impolite American started to snore~
I also heard everybody was annoyed by that~
Thanks to my MP3~
I got a ok sleep in the end....

Oh~ it is really too long~ this article~
Got to finish here~
I will write the other two days in the next article~
Ha~
