Bergen



Yesterday, the first year Nordic students, second year Norwegians and all theater students went to Bergen to see the play "Gengangere" or in English "Ghosts."
We left school around 1:30 pm and were pack 12 hours later.

We arrived in Bergen around 4:30 and had time on our own until 7.
Most people started their trip at


Evelina (Sweden) and I went from here and walked around Bergen. We went into a couple of shops and then we went to the harbor. Then it started raining A LOT, so we fled into tourist shops and other little, cozy shops (as the one on the picture: "Julehuset" - the Christmas House.)


At 6:20 we went into a restaurant and ordered nachos, thinking that that was quickly made and cheap (cheap compared to the rest of the Norwegian food.)
We got the food 35 minutes later and had 5 minutes to eat it and run to the theater.
At least it tasted good.

The play itself was alright.
Since there is only 5 actors in it, the thing that I didn't like the mothers acting, had a big impact on the play. Also, they spoke in a very different dialect and fast, so it was hard to understand.

On the way back we met road construction, which made us miss the fairy, so we had to wait for another hour and arrived at campus a little after 1 am.

Overall, it was a very nice trip :) Good to be back in civilization!
