   Hei ju!
   Please see some more pictures of Lei’s visit on my blog site. I hope that the photos would give you much more clue about Norway.
   Like I said before, you and your kids are welcome here anytime. Patitikimin din kita ng whale biff (we do not eat endagered species — for the record. Whale hunting in Norway is scientifically done.)
   Take care…

   Hi AL! I got the pictures from your blog. You should switch to Flickr so that not anybody can copy your pics.

   Judging from the photos, I think Norway is such a magical place. Lei is so lucky to have visited you there. Sige, I’ll put that on my list of must-see’s before I die, lolz. Bago mo ako patikimin ng whale biff, padalhan mo muna ako ng laks *wink

   hey, ju. did more than inhale the breeze in paris. i second-hand smoked paris, ate paris, walked paris, metroed paris, and inevitably fell in love with it. stayed a few nights at a hotel between montmartre and the opera (18th arrondisement) complete with fabulous 2-star hotel amenities such as the complete lack of airconditioning. the only consolation, for me, was that it is right across the building where george bizet was born. then moved to a boutique hotel right across ile de la cite where the notra dame cathedral is. i could see the spire from my room, which was “climatise” this time. we should rendezvous somewhere sometime, what do you say?

   Hi Lei!

   We all fall in love with these places, don’t we?

   I felt funny reading about your “fabulous 2-star hotel amenities such as complete lack of airconditioning” especially after partaking of some five-star pleasure recently.

   Why not? A rendezvous isn’t a remote possibility for as long as we live and there is always an atlas to see where we go next. Considering my emaciated wallet at the moment, the view of Quiapo Church from Sogo Hotel would be a surreal experience. You could see Mercury Drug’s giant electronic billboard from the room complete with all those people crawling like ants, waiting for some form of third world salvation. Buzz me when:)

   question: why do they call Norway, Land of the Midnight sun?

   Thanks for dropping by Tin…

   Yes Anton, Norway wasn’t on my radar as well until my friend told me. Now, I’d really like to see the fjords..

   Let me ask my pal, Anna Lyn, why Hanagirl. The ball’s in your court, Anna Lyn:) I don’t know the answer. Maybe because the sun still shines at midnight during the summer? haha

   You are right ju,,, Summer time in Norway is quite special. The sun doesn’t set at all during summer at the northern part. Where we live (East), the sun sets but not completely — so we still have some light at night.

   Wonderful may this be… During the winter, we are lucky if we get 4 hours of sunlight. And, winter is coming (the leaves are starting to turn red and yellow - which is also a wonderful sight). Brrr! Giniginaw na ako, just thinking of winter!

    I thought so, Annalyn. When I was still toiling in England, the sun was still at its brightest at nine p.m. which felt eerie for an Asian like me, lol

    Hello Annalyn

    Remember me? Haven’t spoken to you in a long while.. but I do keep myself updated by reading your blog. I don’t read the articles about the food, but your stories about your traveling are of course very interesting to me. And yes… Norway is truly magical. I have been there only once, but would love to go back one day. And yes again Bruges in Belgium is a jewel as well.

    Kind regards
    Pascal
