（家庭旅行）24小時的飛行才能到達的鄰居-挪威

經過了24個小時的漫長飛行，從亞洲邊陲到對角線的北歐邊陲-挪威。最初的概念從TED Talk上看到Thomas Hellum的演講。然後開始進入進一步閱讀關於這個國家的故事後，發現這個被殖民國與早期的台灣很像，翻開歷史是一段又一段被殖民的過去，人民講求為後代著想，小孩第一讓這邊沒有所謂的商務座，而只有親子座。（所以在公車火車上看到小孩子跑來跑去的玩耍很正常）。講信修睦同時社會風氣是講求社會主義與工黨為主流民意。對於環保的要求也讓他們的山區鐵路蓋了20年才完工。（講信用不是光說不練，車站與公車都不驗票，但是一旦在這邊有逃票紀錄，當下要罰款300倍以上，同時身份證留案底....實際上搭乘大眾交通工具是都有碰到查票）

  

<奧斯陸少年有點煩>讓人想看阿

等了一段時間之後，終於到機票降到可以接受（還是忍受XD）的價位時，決定一家人飛到地球的另外一端來體驗這個與我們很像的北歐國家（就歷史感覺上....），途中轉機了3次Hong Kong、Doha、Oslo才會抵達第1站Bergen(挪威歷史最悠久的城市，也是UNESCO認証的遺產)
