Bergen in its white jacket !

This kind of exceptional weather was worth going by foot to the city center !

Enter in Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town's importance as part of the Hanseatic League's trading empire.

The famous Klar Bar ! Nice view while dancing.

View from the main shopping street !

Traditional sun(ny)day walk

Before such an expedition in the mountains you need a nice big brunch with Nutella substitute !

Here we are, climbing up the hill, still full of energy.

The second lake on our way, but the first one which was frozen.

The third lake, almost on the top of the mountain.

Finally, this view is worth all the climbing and the freezing wind !

Takes you two minutes to get down, but 12 minutes to get up ;-)

Downtown Bergen : Klar Bar & Disco-Taxi !

Thursday evening is the night when norwegian students go out. And so did most of us exchange students.

One of NHH students' favourite place is the "Klar Bar" near the fishmarket with view on the harbour.

Donnerstagabend ist die Nacht in der die norwegischen Studenten ausgehen. So auch die meisten von uns Austauschstudenten.

Eine der beliebtesten Plätze für die NHH Studenten ist die "Klar Bar", in der Nähe des Fischmarktes mit Blick auf den Hafen.

Jeudi soir est le jour où les étudiants norvégiens sortent. Et ce que nous avons aussi décidé de faire.

Un des endroits preférés des étudiants de NHH est le "Klar Bar" près du Marché aux poissons, et avec une vue sur le port.

Tired and exhausted as we were, we just wanted to go back by taxi. But in Bergen, Party never really finishes. Here comes: DJ Driver in his Disco Taxi !


Eleven of us, gathered in one taxi, surrounded by neon lights and loud techno music.

Thanks for the ride, Mr. DJ. We will never forget it. See you soon !

Beginning of the expedition. Follow the eskimo "Naïri" :-)

Come on Eskimo! There are no stairs!
