Norway: Meeting Trolls and Shopping Ii the Karl Johangate Street

"Born on the earth but never been to the Arctic Circle, which definitely shows disrespect to the planet," a tourist said to me at Tromso, the representive city of the Arctic Circle. Just as the book Norwegian Wood written by Haruki Murakami, this saying had been kept in my deep memory. Most people are familiar with the famous painting "The Scream" by Edvard Munch: Norwegian bridge under the setting sun, someone screaming beside your ears. Actually in Oslo, the norway fiord in Munch's paintings does really exist. Once you came here, please stick fingers in the ears when you take the picture. Of course, besides those pictures, there are many other representative local products could be taken home as souvenirs.5 Cons You Should Comprehend About cheap sexy lingerie
