Norway - part 2

From last ariticle, my route was from Oslo to Myrdal (by train).
Then, to FLÅM (by a mountain train), to (Gudvangen) by ferry, to Voss (by bus).
The last part is from Boss to Bergen by train.
If you only want to go to Bergen from Oslo without visiting the fijod, you can just take one train.

The smart Norweigen government designed a set for those tourists who don't want to spend much time on buying and checking he timetable.
But the "nutshell set ticket" will be two times more than you bought one by one.
How poor I am, I certainly chose to buy it one by one~
But you just followed the backpackers there, you will always get the tickets on time~
Ha~ well~ you bought the set ticket, there will be a personnel holding one sign to show you the direction.
We still can follow it no matter what!

After the scary night, I finally got on the train on time~
When I closed my room's door, I made a huge noice on purpose~
Yes, I am really childish!

Oh~ Taiwanese accent is surrounding me!!!
There were four aunty and one student talked with each other.
For sure~ I tried to talk with them~
Those aunty just took a two weeks vocation and beocme a backpacker in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland~
So cool~ I was really haappy I met them~
They kept giving me some traditional food from Taiwan.
e.g. dry beef~ oh~ Ha! I don't eat that acturally....
But I was still really happy that I can have a trip with them~

The above picture is the view when we took the first train....
Amazing.........
The above picture was taken when we take the mountain train.
I really have to say!!!
The Tarako in TAIWAN is BETTER than the view there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although the manual there kept talking about how great and hard-to-build the train is.
But we can just drive a car to see a much more beautiful view in Taiwan la!!!
(Just remember to wear helmet... watch the falling rock)
The watfall is not really special~
But there are few women dancing on the rocks next to the fall with some classical music?!


That's right!
The above picture is the one famoust Fijod~
There are many famous ones in Norway and New Zealand~
Based on the opinions of those Taiwanese aunty~ they thought this one is the best!
How lucky I am~
Just remind tourists that you can bring some toast with you~
There are many sea gull trying to catch the food you threw~ quite intereting!


After the ferry~ we took a bus to the next stop to take a train to Bergen.
I also said good bye to those Taiwanese there~
The skill of the driver is so great~ we can take many good pictures on the really steep silde!
Just see above~ it is not in heaven! it is in Norway~

I can' believe the Norweigen train system is not rigorous at all.
The train is delayed more than half an hour.
And we got inform that the train will not come~
We need to take a bus to Bergen.
It means that I will be late coz I made appointment with a coachsurfer there....
Anyway~ I followed with the tough Americans and got on the bus quite fast~

On the way, I also talked with a Norweigen teenager.
He didn't know Taiwan at first....
Thanks to Discovery Channel which introduced Taipei 101, and he just realized I come from a modern country but jungle....

I like Bergen so much~
It is also a hot spot for Japanese.
There is even a direct flight from Tokyo to here!
It was the old capital of Norway before 18th centary.
The atmosphere there is so casual and enjoyable~
But the price here is the same.... DAMN EXPENSIVE.
I felt embarrassing when I refused the surfer's ask to visit a restaurant there.
I know that if I went, I will only be able to eat instant noodles for the whole trip in the UK.
But he is quite nice~
He bought many shirmps from supermarket and made a traditional meals for me.
So delicious....
He is one year older than me.
But his income per month is around 3000 Euro.
Never mention how great the welfare from the fuel company.
They even gave him a free trip to iceland or some hot spots in the world...
The world is flat but.... not exactly fair. XD


The above two pictures are also taken in Bergen.
Not only Norway, the whole north European countries are so rich.
I saw many small boats which has a Denmak or Sweden flag in the back.
Those people just took their own boats to visit some ports not so far.
The fresh sea food will be purchased and cooked immediatly.
Many of them just sat on the boat and read a book or magezine.
In front of them, there is a table which has a glass of white wine and some sea food.
How about me?
I was eating the extra breakfast took from surfer's place for lunch.
Mm...
To have a positive thinking way~ we enjoyed the same view anyway!
Ha... XD
