Bergen are often called the most beautiful city in Norway, and when you stand on top of Mount Fløyen its not hard to see why. Bergen, The 2.nd Largest city in Norway has a reputation for bad weather and not without reason. Its raining over 260days every year with a total of 2250mm. This summer (2008) has been and are probably going to be the driest in 72years with 14mm precipitation in May.

Bergen was the largest city in Scandinavia until the 18th century. Today the latest count says that 242.158 people living in Bergen (2006).

Tourist agencies are marketing Bergen as the "City with a town feel" and its quite right. Very few of the buildings are more than 4stories high and there are large parts of the city that looks like they did over 150years ago. Bergen is really small, it takes around 5minutes to walk across the city center.

Bergen got great opportunities for hiking the seven mountains around the city , and also serves as a gateway for ferries and cruise ships that runs to the great fjords.

Thursdays are the best day to go out drinking as most of the students are going out on Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays are nice as well, but the beer is much cheaper on Thursdays

Odda - For walking on the Folgafonna Glacier

The weather forecast was showed sun with only a few clouds and I just had to go to Mount Hananipa. Mount Hananipa is sitated 714meters above the Sørfjord , which isnt a spectacular fjord, but the views are nonetheless stunning. You can drive upto 350meters and have to walk from there.

Just l...

Yes, I said it right. I'm back and alive. I didn't get myself suicided (such a cool new word) after the final moments of the Spain vs. Germany match last week. Some people actually thought I was going to kill myself which I am actually glad they did because that means that I'm still believable. I felt awfully emotional and depressed of course and good thing I only had Baileys that night instead of Vodka and Redbull or else I would have been standing at the farthest corner of the room avoiding...
