Hi, Steemit friends!

I just came home from a course at the University Hospital in Bergen.
Bergen is the second biggest city in Oslo.

I stayed at Opus XVI, a brand new hotel, which is made in honor of the famous composer Edvard Grieg.

The first night I ate in the Hotel Restaurant:

Cusk (Brosme brosme): Fantastic, almost lobster-like, taste.

Lavish breakfast:

I think perhaps the hotel should have 5 stars because I find the standard too high for "just" 4 stars.


The lectures were pretty specialized, so I will not go into details, but I found these slides by an oncologist to be spot on:

The health care system is extremely collectivist and one size fits all is the current mantra.
This is definitively going to change as new research identifies subgroups of patient/ tumors that respond/ do not respond to a particular treatment modality. As a libertarian, I do believe this could challenge the present collectivist dogma and move the society in a more decentralized and individualistic direction.


The second evening I went to a Brazilian beef restaurant called Brasilia.
It was a buffet where the gauchos served meat straight from the grill:

The beef was fantastic, but I found the place a little too meatish, even for me.


Bergen is the street art capital in Norway.

This is a painting - Rain - by AFK:

Fish & Chips at the airport: Archetypal Bergensian street food.

Bergen is definitively worth a visit, and they are pretty patriotic, to such an​ extent that they are talking about forming a new country in a process known at Berxit. Good luck!


When I came​ home I was pleasantly surprised​ that Steem was numero uno.

We have to keep voting until the end:
