Skraneflaten, Bergen, Norway

This is my house in Bergen, Norway. Well I don't own the house but I live in it. It's big and cosy and I like it very much, but its quite far from the Sentrum. It's the same distance as from Gerehu to Town. In POM it costs K0.70 to travel from Gerehu to Town by bus. Here in Bergen it costs the equivalent of K12.00 to travel the same distance. And if I go by taxi it costs me the equivalent of K251.00. But apart from the cost of living and the fact that it rains a lot, Bergen is a very beautiful city. One cannot really see the beauty of Bergen in the rain, except on a sunny day. Sunshine brings out the beauty in Bergen. Too bad it rains a lot in Bergen. But I think rain is something that is a part of Bergen so one has to get used to it and see the beauty of Bergen in the rain.

These days I don't stay indoors anymore. I go walking, jogging, shopping and clubbing...in the rain. I can't stay indoors and wait for the rain to stop 'cause it will not stop.

More pictures of Bergen will be posted soon.

Very nice house, and Bergen sounds like Portland, Oregon, USA...it's a big city, (about 2 million people), absolutely beautiful, but it rains alot! It's also very expensive to live here. I like your blog alot! Keep writing, and I look forward to hearing more about Bergen...

Cool house! It looks like you're pretty comfortable there. How long do you think you'll be living there?

I kinda living out of the suitcase. I have not even put my clothes in the wardrobe yet. I am going to be Tulsa, Oklahoma next month but I don't know yet whether I'll be in Paris before I go. At the same time I have to have face-to-face meetings with the operations management of my employer in Australia. And that should happen the week after next week. I am getting sick on living out of the suitcase. But it can be fun sometimes.
