  • In this video my friend Anna and I take you with us on a little walk in Norways most beautiful city Bergen. We take you to some places that most tourists miss out on when they visit Bergen, and share some of our hacks to having a good day here even when it rains (which is often). I hope you like it!

    You make the rain and cold something pleasant and you even swim in the cold water, and the best thing is definitely the coffee from Brazil.

    I loved this! When I go to a new place I generally begin with a rose garden, park or botanical garden, and I look for cosy cafés and yarn shops as well as museums, or smaller art galleries… perfect!

    • @Mariaandtheforest
      @Mariaandtheforest  Před měsícem +3

      I am so in on all those things too! In Bergen the botanical garden is actually right behind the museum we visited in this video, so one can do both :-)

  • @maumaumau59

    Darn - didn't realize that Bergen had a Natural History museum - definitely will check it out next time I visit.
    Harvard college's Natural History museum is worth a visit if you're ever in the Boston area. It too has the incredible whale skeletons which inspire awe. A curator there once pointed to the oil spots on the wooden floor, even after 100+ years, the bones still drip. Thanks for your videos.

    • @maumaumau59
      @maumaumau59 Před měsícem

      It occurs to me that my comment may sound a bit gruesome and in some ways it is. Whenever I've visited the HNH I'm both fascinated with all the fauna on exhibit (hundreds and hundreds of different birds) and also sickened at the thought of all those creatures being destroyed for a collection. Another tidbit from the curator was that the average height of giraffes went down as they were hunted and collected, the tallest being prized. (Giraffes are tall, some almost 6 meters!) And yet the collection is so beautiful.
      It's weird how one can have opposite feelings at once.
      A Norwegian connection: as an exchange student living with a norwegian family, I enjoyed many excursions to Hardangervidda and I would help my 'brother' collect wild flowers for his 2nd year Gymnas project, it was fun, educational, a way to be one with nature. In retrospect, I was pleased to learn that this type of project is no longer a part of the curriculum.
      Very small steps taken to try to understand our species place on this planet.

    • @Mariaandtheforest
      @Mariaandtheforest  Před měsícem

      Hahah, that sounds slightly creepy museum indeed. I actually wonder if I have been there. I remember visiting a similar museum in Boston. But I don't remember any whales so maybe I am mixing it up. I totally agree that one can feel different things about it. At least these collections have educational value and hopefully help us learn more about animals and birds. I feel like that is meaningful at least.
      I have heard about this way of educating students about nature and I think its so cool! Too bad they don't do it as much anymore. I do similar things in my workshops when I travel to schools, but it would be even better if it was a normal part of the curriculum.

    I agree with everything you say here, Bergen is such a beautiful, cosy city and it'll reward you if you go off the beaten path and explore. The university museum and gardens are beautiful (I get to experience the gardens often as I go to uni and my faculty is just down the road from there!).

    I recently moved from Dublin to Bergen, thus, I had experiences of rainy life. But, I heard a lot of Bergen rain and complaints, today I went to a cafe and as usual it was raining and I was telling myself, I really need to make a good relationship with rain and started to enjoy it without hearing other people's complaints! Surprisingly, your video came to my suggestion on the same day! It seems like CZcams can read my mind! The only thing I am missing now is a good company to go to a cafe with 😬😔

    Yeay ! What a lovely video. I actually didn't know that Bergen was renowned for being so rainy, though I suppose it makes sense given its location. It's definitely on my list of places to visit (the one that got away on my last trip to Norway all those years ago !). Whenever I do visit I will definitely make a note to also visit Anna's shop....mainly because I'd like a selfie with Bhoomi ! Well done for making a wet day look like so much fun.

    • @Mariaandtheforest
      @Mariaandtheforest  Před měsícem +1
