Asia meets Norway

This summer vacation I spent in Norway again, together with my two flat mates Chin and Gerrit. Chin had joined our flat recently. He grew up in Asia and for him it was the first time to spend a “nature holiday” in Scandinavia. I was very curious how he would like the landscape there and would cope with the lack of people…
You might find it normal, picking berries and mushrooms while you are outside in nature, but for a big city kid from Kuala Lumpur (population of 7.2 million) it is a totally new experience! Chin got excited about all this free food to be found everywhere in Norway’s nature – but most of all he was amazed by the fact that you even can even drink water straight from rivers and streams!
So after all he did pretty well there and liked the place. But I have to admit that it hasn’t been a true “nature holiday”, since we had internet access. I am sure that compensated a lot for Chin.
