my brief trip to Norway

I recently got the chance to visit my brother for a few days in Norway where he moved with his company last year.

This video describes Norway better than I could ever imagine to:



I spent most of my four days in the town of Drammen but the highlight of my trip was the day in Oslo.

Oslo was a nice city but there was nothing exactly outstanding about it (I can't say much different about Dublin), that being said a building I admired for its architecture turned out to be the Oslo Opera House.



That is one of the biggest landmarks of the capital city, I was literally gobsmacked when I looked this up.

I remember passing it on the bus and wondering if it was worth the photo.

The Norwegian resistance museum in Oslo is well worth seeing and is very interesting and I saw probably the weakest point in my knowledge of World War II was about the Norway theater of the war, along with that I would also recommend the movie Max Manus.



Norwegians are very lucky to have this movie about this resistance hero I have to admit I never even heard of but he is much cooler and smarter than the Irish rebels I learned about at school.

Other basic things about Norwegian society is that most Norwegians can speak basic English, the currency isn't Euro but NOC (Norwegian Kroner) since Norway isn't in the EU and that video above is surprisingly completely accurate.

That being said Norway is well worth the visit.
