Here we go again...I can't stop my travel journal when I was travelling long ago between Kautokeino to KarasjokNorway) I learned about the same..the Lapps..and *joiks* joiks are very spiritual and deep going songs. Mari Boine is an artist with international fame.. listen to these songs..I don't understand a word of it... but to me..it's something like the Native Indian cry for freedom and peace..

Hallo HF forummers.. Since my travel thread has come to an end.. I got this idea today..I'm gonna put links about countries,cities etc.. which I have visited..or I might think about discussing a specific city.. in that way this thread can go on..and in fact become a travel info source.. for ALL future travellers..any comments..let me know,please... Tiger..
In Bergen there were some nice musea to be visited.. we only did 1 and that was Gamle Bergen..last day of our visit.. http://www.bergen-guide.com/attractions.asp it started raining..we took a bus from Torget towards this museum.. it was an open air museum really worthwhile..more then 35 old houses.. Norway got so many open air musea with old buildings etc.. I think it was quite nice to see how folks were living 100 years ago.. we strolled quite a while through this place..took a bus back to Bergen.. went into Rimi supermarket..to eat some cheap snacks.. what we missed as museum in Bergen was Edvard Grieg's home.. famous music composer..his house is situated in Troldhaugen.. we did not visit this place..a pity..anyway..one can't do everything.. next day..train trip to Oslo..1 night in Youth hostel... next day flight from Oslo to Brussels with Sabena airlines.. in 1996..and in 1999..I went to India for family visits..that's all.. END of my journal..THANK you all.. Tiger
