| | Mount Parton, Norway:

A common outfit for a Norwegian woman seemed to be a low-cut tank top that cuddled her boobages together like small pink-nosed puppies being served up for one's perusal. It was practically a requirement that the woman showed cleavage. As you can see from the above photo, even some of the mountains had a breast fixation. Unfortunately, for many of those over 45, the combination of round-the-clock summer sun and low-to-nonexistent SPF sunscreens meant that their breasts looked more Kentucky-fried than Pam Anderson.

A typical European traveling costume: black dress socks paired with athletic shoes, an absurdly high-waisted pair of shorts, and extreme body odor. For an even more unfashionable look, the ever-popular socks-with-sandals look can be substituted for the shoes.

Another traveling costume, this time with a not-buttoned-at-all dress shirt paired with short-shorts accessorized by a semi-exposed ball sack. (Sorry about the poor quality of this photo, but as you might imagine it's difficult taking a good picture of a complete stranger's ball sack on a moving train without his noticing.)

Actually, I'm hungry, thirsty, AND souvenir! Very souvenir!

The Norwegians are quite organized, and have a plan for every contingency.

These are some historic warehouses in Bergen, Norway. See the yellow warehouse, fifth down the on the right? Hanging over it is the below historic carved unicorn:

Our guidebook told us to look for the unicorn, since down the alley to the left of the unicorn was a tiny museum dedicated to Bergen's Nazi resistance during World War II. Curiously, the guidebook made no mention of the unicorn's humongous erection.


This is a hotel-ish place we stayed at in the Lotofoten Islands region, which is north of the Artic Circle. As you can see in the background, on cloudy days the tops of the moutains would have clouds floating around the peaks in a very picturesque way (which I never managed to capture very well with my camera). Also, this is about as dark as it would get at night. The above picture was taken at about 9:30pm, but it never really got any darker than this, and it was even brighter when it wasn't cloudy.
I've got loads of pictures and I'm sure I'll think up some amusing anecdotes, but I'll stop here with an actual scenic picture that is aesthetically pleasing:

That is all. |
