🇳🇴 Bergen Left Me in a Daze

ChatGPT warned me: *"Bergen rains 200+ days a year."* I scoffed—until morning showers turned my hardshell into a raincoat ☔. Between the drizzle and unremarkable streets (sorry, but Cork vibes?), I almost forgot I was in Norway! ⛪ Sunday Serendipity Visited a church, declined a Bible (awkward smile), and skipped photos. Midnight magic: Rode the 11PM funicular for city lights + met a sweet mom-son duo who took my favorite trip photo 📸. Reunited at Fjåk Chocolate next day—their hot cocoa + marshmallow tip = perfection! 🗣️ Cultural Chats Norwegian-Iranian girl: "Norwegians boycott farmed salmon!" (My shock 😱) Roasted Oslo rents (€1k+/month for suburbs) but concluded: "Still better than Paris!" (...Debatable.) 🎨 Art & Oddities Discovered Harriet Backer—her French-trained strokes stole the show. Modern art exhibits = peak Nordic weirdness (loved it). Hydrangeas in July? DNA said "summer," but Bergen’s 5°C breeze disagreed. ❄️ #BergenBlues #NorwegianWhimsy #RainOrShine
