Here we are
at the last country of our trip. It is very sad that it our journey is coming
to an end but I have had a wonderful time. I have learned a lot new things
about the different countries. I am really grateful for the opportunity to
travel to these countries.
The
Norwegian language is not easy to understand. There are two official written
forms: Bokmål and Nynorsk. I tried to learn some easy
sentences but it was very difficult.
One of the most famous
paintings from Norway is without a doubt the Scream from Edvard Munch. He
painted four versions of the Scream and two of them are located in the capital
of the country, Oslo.
In Denmark we have seen
some old Viking houses but in Norway they are really very popular. You have the
Viking Ships Museum in Oslo where you can see the two best preserved wooden
Viking ships in the world. This is very impressive because they both are from
the ninth century and they are very large. It is almost a miracle that they are
still in such a good condition.
When you take a look at
the houses in Norway, you can see that there is a tradition to build some parts
of the houses in wood and even the new houses are made of wood.
I don’t think this is
very safe because I think a wooden house can burn easier. Nevertheless, the
traditional houses are very beautiful.
The traditional folk
music is still very popular in Norway. The country is also famous for the
Norwegian black metal. This subgenre of Heavy metal has been put in a negative
daylight because it is linked to several suicides and killings. I am glad we
did not see a lot of those people around our hotel…
This was my last blog and
I hope you have enjoyed reading about my journey. Maybe the company decides to
go on holiday next year and then I will be writing another blog!
