So I work in a gym and being the multicultural country that Australia is, I get a lot of people from a lot of different places around the world come through and see me. Like today I had a Personal Training session with girl from Norway who's come over to visit her Aunt. So while she's on the elliptical/crosstrainer warming up we're making small talk and start on about how she's liking Australia and the weather and ra-di-ra.
Her: My aunt says that winter is usually pretty sunny over here.
Me: Yeah usually. We've had a really cold, wet winter so far this year. Crazy.
Her: Yeah! Lol. It feels like I'm back at home. My city is like, the rainiest capital of Norway.
At which point I asked her which city she was from and she told me she was from Bergen.
Of ALL places. God I tell you, I had to try to stop myself from loling.
Me: Oh yeah - I've heard of Bergen (only because I watch Doctor Who...)
Ahhh - television! Even the fictional shows teach me stuff! XS
