My Trip To Bergen

in #norway6 years ago (edited)

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:

Away from keyboard

The street painting from AFK is intriguing @janusface,

I never heard of this group so I today I looked up their work. Not only this paining, but a lot of their street work includes purple. AFK stands for "Away from Keyboard." This is brilliant and the way to bring a city back to life. I live in Seoul and a lot of projects similar to this are going on. I really like it.

I can hear the song "Rain Dancing" in the background by Gaelle.

Glad you liked it. I also believe that street art could bring more life and spice up a city if it is done the right way of course. Certainly healthy to be AFK once in a while.

The hotel looks Smashing..
From the first sentence it seems you a doctor in training I guess.?

Yes, I am training to become a pathologist.

wow!!
That's greet, success all the way..

Hello my friend The pictures were great,
Congratulations to you , I hope your trip is successful
Thank's for sharing

The steak looks absolutely enticing

There is nothing like a nice hotel and the enjoyment of some of the fine restaurants during travel. I remember the Brazilian Steak Houses in Houston and other places. What a treat.

@janusface I would have loved the Brasilia Buffet. I am in Favor of Beef. I do eat vegetables too but I do not want to even buy into Veganism...............Beautiful Hotel

fantastic hotel and didn't know Bergen was a street art capital. I also use a Huawei to shoot some pics when I travel around :)
