    Guide to Norwegian light conditions:
    Spring: mostly normal light and length day/night
    Summer: *INFINITE LIGHT! The sun *NEVER SETS! (*almost)
    Fall: normal light and length day/night
    Winter: Mostly dark, buuut the few hours of light are GOLDEN HOURS! Yes, PLURAL!

    • @MrFarodo
      @MrFarodo Před 5 lety

      So during summer the sun barely setting means golden hours, too, right?

    • @tristanmoller9498
      @tristanmoller9498 Před 5 lety +6

      I think “golden hours” are given by a very low sun. The light waves take longer to travel through the atmosphere, that would correspond more to sunset and sunrise, and in Norway, in the winter, as well to high noon, as shown in this video.

    "looking at water energizes me" isn't weird at all...there's something about water that's powerful and has relaxing or energizing effects on people.

    • @Jaqen-HGhar
      @Jaqen-HGhar Před 4 lety

      moving water gives off negative ions just like lightning storms do (which is why they have a similar effect for people) unlike those b.s. salt lamps.

    • @zeffery101
      @zeffery101 Před 4 lety

      yeah, its the kinetic flow of water that gives us energy. A lot of things around us is static, but dynamic systems, like the rush of a river or the ebb and flow of an ocean- is both visually and auditorily stimulating. This goes with any observations of dynamic system such as people watching in a busy downtown, staring at a fire, watching leaves blow in the wind, but water systems like rivers, oceans, and waterfalls are the most engaging.

      @@SurflFilms history is so fascinating. The coffee drinking culture was brought over from early Islamic caliphates of the Middle East and Anatolia which have been experiencing scientific and scholarly period(the religious purists, as they all do, erased these scientific achievements). Initially The Church banned coffee terming it the devil's drink but couldn't stop it.

    I've liked your Vox videos, so watched your "How I got my Job at Vox" when it was reccomend (and subscribed after watching 🙂) was no brainer. This is the second video I watched, and I wanted to respond as a fellow wanderer. I too like/d going to bodies of water in cities I visit/ed, though in past it was easier for me as I was USN sailor for most of my travels, because I'd started my visit there (bonus no jet lag when traveling via ship 🙂, just seasickness 🤢). I also enjoy walking around in cities, night or day, to get a feel for them and their people. I liked and will try your other suggestions on what to do to work through jet lag.
    I've really enjoyed your videos a lot 😀. I'm currently trying hard to not watch all that you've put out right away. As I've already have watched 4 out of 5 I'm not doing this very well. But I did sub to Iz's channel to to help fill the void of new Harris content, and there's always your Vox vids as well 😁.

As an introverted person, traveling can be a bit of a special challenge. (on top of the usual stress level). literally leaving your comfort zone is the equivalent to jumping into a cold pool, you know it's not as bad as you think when you are in there!! I'll stick around. thanks for the great video.

    3:35 also if you go a bit more north, into the arctic circle, in the summer you will see the sun all day and night, and during the winter you won't see the sun.
    Also, fun fact, there is a town in Norway that isn't in the arctic circle but doesn't get sunlight in the winter. So they installed a mirror on the mountain. This happens because there are high mountains surrounding them that blocks the sunlight when the sun is low. This town is Rjukan.
