It's a bit of the same in Norway, today houses have been built on places where nobody would dare building houses a century ago. Perhaps the availability of insurance is part of the reason, people can afford

Correct - but then again, is public transport really a human right? My mother built a cabin on an island, and some years ago I was visiting it during a regular working day (my intention was to visit my

Do you have any source?

Yet, the risk of getting killed while sitting in a car is much bigger than on a ferry or cruise ship in all kind of ways (perhaps except when counting on "risk per journey", as the average car

Another reason why there are relatively few electric taxis in Norway/Oslo compared to the number of electric cars ... one of the driving forces for electrifying the car fleet in Oslo is that electric cars

What have I heard about the current situation in Venezuela ... well ... Venezuela is a rich country, with quite some natural resources, particularly oil and gold. Chavez was elected as president and was

I've been largely absent from Steemit over the last month or so, too busy to read or write anything here ... but I came back now specifically to check for news from Venezuela, what's your stance on the

Now I got hungry :-) I spent my military service in a station being awarded with "best kitchen" many years in a row, the officers mess and conscript mess was combined, so we got better food than

How quaint ... I apparently never replied to this one? They don't have their special lanes anymore where the motorcycles and Evs could drive also? Along the highways they tend to build an extra lane for

There is no "Oslo-Torp airport", only the low-cost carriers going there use such phrasing. The correct name is "Torp Airport Sandefjord".

I think you can't even sleep good inside with that many lights. At least, they were not blinking, and not that powerful - a curtain will likely block it out

Looks like wine to me - though, one should expect him to drink "gløgg", the Norwegian variant of gluhwine, though more often than not served as an non-alcoholic drink those days. However, as

I'm still on a visit here. Will go south to Oslo again on the last day of the year.

To see the polar light, three things are needed - there polar light itself, no obstacles between you and the polar lights (i.e. clouds, but also mountains if the polar light is low) and not too much light

I never heard anything like this before - now I'm asking myself if it's true or not. I did some googling and found some articles out there claiming the same, but none of them had any references. I also

My wife got pretty much fed up of it in the end, that's why we moved (back) to Oslo. (I was living in Oslo for a while when I met her ... but I did miss Tromsø too much, hence we moved north ...)

... and vodka made from organic rye, triply-distilled in hand-made machinery by highly skilled hobbyists is probably more healthy than main-stream industrial vodka?

I've read claims that garlic is one of the most healthy vegetables out there. I don't know ... but I do know that my stomach does get pretty upset if I eat raw garlic or too much garlic, so I generally
