Bergen and Thoughts on Norway

10 August 2011

Five days in Bergen flew. It helped that I was hung over for an entire one of those days. I’m sitting in the airport now waiting for my flight to Copenhagen (locally referred to as Kobenhavn). Watching the closed circuit televisions in the airport, it starkly reminds I didn’t pick the right continent for “let’s [...]

There is a scene in the fabulous collection of shorts, Paris Je T’Aime, with a very stereotypical overweight American tourist clad in fanny pack, sneakers and her Lonely Planet Paris guide. As amazing as all of the shorts in this collection are, this one haunts me the most. Her terrible French, her lonely but highly [...]
