Hello, I am Marcos and I want to share with you the travel story I experienced in Norway. I went to Europe some years ago for the first time with my couple. Our travel started in Germany and Sweden, cool countries where art an culture are like an inseparable partner loving each other unconditionally... Nevertheless nothing prepared me for the next adventure-days in Oslo. The city's architecture is amazing, the modern structures like the Opera are grand. The first ticket to the Fiords was a new experience to us, and after have a good afternoon in the tiny islands, we saw one of the most impresive things of my life: Coming back from the last stop to the center of the city we realized there was an UFO in Norway's sky. Our first impression was astonishment... We took several pictures and it was like a disk floating, after some minutes it just disappear. Some days after, we were taking a walk by the downtown and quickly we understood that not everybody in the Norway's most important city were ok: We saw a lot of people in the street with drugs (alcohol, heroin) problems. They didn't bother nobody but we didn't expect find that in this country. I remember I thought: "Even perfect cities also have problems to solve". After walk some blocks we saw another big surprise: An old homeless was sit in the bank of a square full of pigeons on top of him and next to him while he threw bread crumbs and smile like if he would be playing with the birds, definitely breathtaking. For me saw that old man so happy with his "friends" and in front of him so many people sick because of the drugs made me think and understand a couple of things like that even in worst circumstances I can smile and try to be happy, that drugs could be fun for some people but it is very important to realize that it can become a problem in any country, in any society, this is not a matter of some cities, it is a world problem to solve. We have pictures of this experiences but this days in Oslo really change our lives. Kind regards!
