I divide my Norway journey into two parts.
The first part is my journey with train. I take the train that known as the world's most beautiful landscapes sections. It is said that some of the Harry Potter train scenes are shot in Norway.
By the way, although this is only about one hour's journey, in addition to see the beautiful area, I can also
experience the Norwegian actually accounted for railway technology. For example, how to overcome the steep mountain, ecological protection, and remains views considerations.
Another part of this journey is Oslo, the capital of Norway.
In Oslo, Oslo Karl Johans Avenue is the main commercial street. Walking down the street you can see the Capitol (Stortinget) and Oslo Domkirke.
There are a lot of museum in Oslo. Such as Filmmuseet, Nasjonalmuseet Arkitektur, Museet for Samtidskunst and Opera Husset. However, Most of them have charge if we need to visit.
