Helpfulness
There is a small souvenirshop directely at the russian border-station and they sell a lot of the kind of wooden souvenirs like you might have seen them in Russia: dolls, eggs, toys etc. and some of them are really great works of art !
What to buy: Did you see the icebear painted on the russian dolls, that is something I have not yet seen anywhere else.

There are quite a lot of international shops and supermarkets in Kirkenes and the reason for that is the closeby russian border and a lot of russians are obviously doing their shopping there.
What to buy: Something else that is interesting to know about norwegian shops is that the openingtimes are always indicated already at the facade like in my 2nd photo:
8-23 (21) means it is open daily between 8am and 11.00pm, only at sunday they are closing already at 9pm.

Our coastal steamer arrived in Kirkenes at 10AM. We were required to vacate our cabin by 9:30. We were asked to leave the ship immediately upon arrival at port. The line by Apu from "The Simpsons"...

This tiny church is near Kirkenes. It is made of wood painted red and has downspouts that look like serpents! Heaters line the rows of seats.
