Norway (Oslo + Bergen): 12-15th March

- Norway is really beautiful. Period.

- Noway is such a wonderful place to study physical geography. Waterfalls, granite rocks, mountains, valleys, meanders, temperate deciduous forests, conifers.....

- Norway is expensive. A medium Big Mac meal costs S$18. A bus ride costs S$5.

- This trip is a Scandinavia gathering man: 10 exchange students from Denmark, Sweden and Finland meeting in Norway.


Capital of Norway: Oslo. It looks just like other European cities but smaller though.

Wildflowers or planted by man?

At the Sculpture Garden in Oslo. Various sculptures depicting different aspects of Life.

This angry kid is a poster boy for many postcards. don't know why.
Taking the Scenic railway from Myrdal to Voss to take the fjord cruise. The railway route certainly lives up to its name.

At Voss. Waiting for the fjord cruise. That's not the ferry in the background.
Lovers: Grace and me. haha!

Me and my future colleague- Grace. ;)

Europe's smallest church is found here according to the cruise commentary. I have yet to figure out the building. :)

Fjord in Spring.
Bergen: the old capital of Norway. We made a trip up to the top of the hill.

View of Bergen from the top.

Bergen coast. Beautiful....

More of Bergen. I like the little "lake" at the background. It's a little sanctuary hidden from the city.

The walk down the hill. Stream of water.
A lake in the middle of Bergen city.

View from the train from Bergen back to Oslo.

The train also passes through mountainous areas where thick snow prevails.
