Norway!
Norway was... perfect, simply put. I've been there for eight days, give or take, and experienced more than I did in years, from eating moose to witnessing the biggest storm in my life.
Norwegian nature is breath-taking, especially in summer when everything is in bloom. And all those mountains... ♥♥♥ If I haven't ranted about this before, I come from a town up in the hills - and Prague is flat. Flat flat flat flat flat flat FLAT and it's driving me up the walls sometimes.
Shiny was kind enough to run me a Monty Python marathon and watch Pan's Labyrinth with me in the middle of the night, which was... um. Yeah. Sweet dreams of men bashing in faces with bottles. Systematically. Um.
I've been to Oslo, and inbetween visiting the opera and the national gallery and eating the best smoked salmon EVAR, I've managed to spend nearly all my money on Sandman but still forget to buy the last book, eat a pocky, drink japanese soda and get rained on (and consequentially break my shabby umbrella xD;).
I've almost beaten AC2 when I just wanted to try it out, gotten my ass handed to me in Soul Calibur 4 even more so in DoA-what's-its-number and nearly scaled the chandelier when I was watching Shiny play Bioshock 2 - scary game is scary as fuck and LAMB IS WATCHING~ +A+
I've also painted on canvas for the first time in my life, believe it or not, and I'm going to miss Hamar's art shop with its regular 20% sales. v_v
I left Norway with loads of chocolate, one of two paintings that I've always wanted (the other being from my art teacher) and full intention of coming back someday. But first I want my own Xbox 360.
And, since I did promise you some photos or I think I did, there you are. c: I'm not much for taking photos of sights/people/huge tracks of land, I'm more of a details person. You've been dully warned.
Pssst, click for larger photo.
