Ugh... Well, I already have an Iceland related blog but lately I have been finding too many Norway related things so I decided to space out the two a bit more.Explore | Doesn't Exist

I notice I am quite bad at updating things closer to the time I experience things...
it’s been 6-ish years (2016) since I went to Norway and I still have not posted things about my personal visit.
In Oslo I explored many museums and sights of interest. Met a guy during a walking tour and asked him to take my photo for me as I was alone and had no tripod or selfie stick. Afterwards, I found a photo of his shoe in my gallery. That was really random. I returned the favor. I learned something new that day that I didn’t know before... how to take multiple photos by holding down the shutter button.
I took a train to Flåm but the train broke down. We were sent on buses to our next stop. I recall overhearing several people that needed to get back to Oslo to catch a flight... They took the train as a day trip. I hope they made it because we waited for buses for quite some time. I met a lovely girl from Korea but we parted ways as she took the Norway in a Nutshell tour and I was doing my own itinerary combined with Norway in Nutshell elements.
In Bergen, I explored on foot except for the day I took a bus tour to the Edvard Grieg museum to satisfy my musical intrigue. I watched a mini concert and heard some songs familiar to me from piano lessons and exams. I met a lovely older lady from Australia. Several years later I did eventually make my way down under. Australia is a lovely country.
I was kinda sad it was rainy and super cloudy the day I took Fløibanen up Mt. Fløyen so I didn’t see much of the surrounding fjords. It was quite nice though, since it was empty. I went very early in the morning, the gift shop was closed. Ahaha...
I hung out by myself mostly... I did meet a group of people near my age. They said they were studying or from Pennsylvania, USA. We were bunked in the same dorm in the hostel. Sadly we never got to have dinner together and they moved on to Sweden. Thank you for sharing and offering your food!
In the future, I’d like to go back.
P.S. Did you know I almost moved to Norway in 2019?
