2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

That was the cold beer I got in one the pubs in the city. Not my favourite one, but I did not wanted to drink any foreign beer while visiting here so I had to compromise on this one.

Girl on violin in front of the Wheel of Life

The Norwegians appear to be a little sombre when they are at work but don't take this as an office it's just their nature. Out and about though they seem to be more relaxed.

The Norwegian Royal Palace. Maybe Europe’s least fancy Palace, but at the same time maybe the one that is closest to its people.
