Oslo day one

I take a walk to harbor, follow the grand hotel doorman's instruction - his name is Eric , who push the elevator button for me as I was electrical shocked , he joked about there is a ghost living inside , well grand hotel is a very old one , there must be stories about spirit , Eric thought the joke is gone too far, anyway, I am follow his direction walking to the harbor ! It's about 10 minutes walk from hotel , many private boat , not yacht , but modern power speed boat, people in Norway love sea / water and sun I guess, how come so many boats along the harbor ? This is a newly develop area , many trendy restaurant and of course , you can't escape McDonald and tgi Frinday taking their space as well! My first impression about Norway ? They love kids, so many parent bring their small children to the harbor , to shower under the sun and eat everywhere ! I sit at Wayne Cafe for my first meal after landing , it's been 24 hours on the road and the unpleasant trip sitting next to a rude young man! I order a large latte and 2 sandwich in Norway style , it cost me almost 200 Kon, that's equal to 1000 nt , living standard is pretty high here ! Liberal is another impression I have : a mother milk her baby inside the cafe , with open breast ! A couple of gay taking their adapted child out - on mother even carry stuff doll with him! People are warm . And I enjoy walking along the harbor ! There is homeless tramp on the street with signboard , I can't read Norwegian language . I spend like 2 hours outside , bought 2 bottle of water and before going back to hotel , I was attracted by a sign : it said / the fragment heart of coffee , follow the sign , I stop by an cafe , order one latte and talking to coffee maker inside , they all follow Sri chimnoy - a spiritual master who pass away on 2007, the fate brought me to this small cafe and to learn how Sri devoted himself oneness - promo peace in his whole life and inspire people to open a cafe in Oslo ! When asked how come they speak English ? The answer is : we are foreigner ! Yes , same as I , what brought them here? A young man said" have you see a gun against my head? " I reply with : yes , lots of guns " and I point to the bools Sri published and said " the gun of peace " I am here for Oslo freedom forum , not so many locals aware ! Met Alex at the grand hotel lobby and again with some attendee , they want to know the relationship between China and Taiwan , well , I might be the only Chinese here! My voice will be easily take as a general opinion , I should be very careful and response with wisdom not emotion ! Take a nap on bed for 3,hours , I am out again , to kill the jet leg and to feed my stomach ! Ate McDonald , having coffee at another coffee brand and I am brave enough to buy a ticket for the movie Martha Macy may .. Hmmm , I don't know why I am here in Oslo , but since I am here , should see something , learn something and enjoy my first experience about Norway ! When the plane landing at Norway airport , I follow everyone to take fly to get - the airport express train to Oslo downtown , well, there is a road construction , we have to get off the train and transfer via bus arrange by train company ! Thanks God , three is a gentle man who show me the way to bus 3, stop at grand station ! From there , I trolly my luggage to grand hotel : uphill for 15 minutes ,quite a challenge ! When you grow old, flying long time and traveling won't be as exciting as you were young ! I am so impressed about the mother who carried a big luggage - bigger than mine , brought along her daughter - under the age of 7 and no free hand for her daughter , she must be traveling many places , by herself ! Saw many seniors taking my same plane back to Europe : good couples and good companige , when I grow old , if I enjoy long trip still, who will be on my side? The learning from the young man who is rude to me: 1. Yes I do have a blind spot : I breath to heavy , sniffing so loud and never notice others 2. I had a bad routine when sleeping : moving my body every direction and it might accidentally invade others
