  • More info about travel to Bergen: www.ricksteves... Bergen is a big city by Norwegian standards, but visitors sticking to the compact old center find it charming. Enjoy the busy harbor with its salty market and timber warehouses dripping with Hanseatic history, then stroll the pedestrian-friendly old quarter, with cute lanes of delicate wooden houses. Then for a modern contrast, head for Bergen's urban heart - which has a thriving personality all its own. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #bergen

    My fav place in the world was where I lived in a tiny farming community as a child in the Province of Alberta, CANADA. It was called "Bergen" and boasted the Bergen General Store, the Bergen Community Hall, the Bergen Missionary Church and a handful of farms and that's all. I LOVED IT THERE! What I didn't know until I grew up is that MY Bergen had been settled a few generations before by a handful of Norwegian families from the Big Bergen in Norway who must have been homesick for the "old country". You never know where [or when] history will suddenly jump up and bite you.

    I live in Bergen, and if I were to show a friend who was not from Norway around, I would've chosen 17th of May, 1st of December, or any part of june/july/august.
    17th of May is the national day of Norway, and as far as I know, it's far more celebrated than in nearly any other country. Streets are PACKED, and there's lots to see. 1st of December brings on "festival of lights", celebrating the first sunday of advent.
    Other than that, winter and autumn is rainy, so try to visit during summer.

    When it doesn't rain, Bergen is a really beautiful city to walk around in. The two most beautiful Norwegian cities, in my opinion, is Ålesund (or Aalesund, for those who lacks letters in their alphabet :D ) and Bergen.

    If you don't like high taxes, big government, and a maternity leave for women of twelve months (and at least one month for the father), this video is likely going to piss you off. And I hope it does. Why? Consider:
    Norway has the highest quality of life of any country in the world.
    Norway has highest human development index in the world.
    And if you don't know what a Keynesian economic model is, I suggest you take yourself to Google and find out.,,,,

    • @jambooguy
      @jambooguy 7 лет назад +5

      Norway is truly a beautiful country and does enjoy a very high standard of living due primarily to 3 things: 1) Small homogeneous population with a common culture and work ethic. 2) Large energy reserves which largely fund 3) a generous social safety net. As far as economics goes, Norway and the rest of the Scandinavian countries have a long history of productive economies using the Nordic model that is distinct from Socialism and long predates the welfare state expansion during the 60s. Remarkably, their long-standing economic growth has been largely non-Keynesian in nature.

      @@rosihantu1 US tax is lower but you don't get free healthcare, education, child care, maternity leave etc, so if you add in all those extras it is just as high or even higher, for a lower standard of service.
