Public Library in Bergen, Norway

And here is another one of my "Sightseeing in Bergen" videos: This time the public library owned by the community and located directly in the middle of the city.

@scottie0904 That's different in Germany, you have three branches of school. Classes after the 4th grade are divided according to achievement. Those having only A/B go to Gymnasium which is 8/9 years of school explicitly designed to give you an universal university competence.

I was 19 (youngest possible) when I finished.

From the viewpoint of the people, it is a tad about Europeans wanting a nanny state and Americans fearing it. I have 5 month left to my bachelor, but then 2 years to my master

[scottie0904]

@CaraDanaellea yeah - we have to go on to college to do "A-levels" before we can enter uni. We leave school at age 16, although I hear that is changing to 18 very soon.

A friend is studying Psychology too. She's got 2 years left! is the "desired regulation" from the perspective of legislators or "the people"? Either way, sounds interesting.. but I'd need to be in the mindset of the study to understand that title fully of course :p

@scottie0904 A-Levels? I'm not really familiar with the UK-system I'm afraid. I took my final exams in High School (german Gymnasium) and then I could go to University. Do you have to take extra tests?

Getting into science is a sure way to get into travelling. Science today has to be international so person's with higher degrees are getting around :)

My bachelor thesis is in Psychology, the topic is the relationship between legislative strictness, people's risk perception + desired regulation

@CaraDanaellea Yeah - I don't exactly have a passion for Archaeology, I don't have a passion for any subject really. It's just a good way to potentially work in different places throughout my life. That's the main thing - to experience more of the world. Exploration is my passion, even if it's just in a simple forest!

This course I'm doing at the moment isn't for a degree - it's for entrance to uni, like A-levels.

Now I'm curious.. what do YOU study? ^^

[CaraDanaellea]

@scottie0904 Ah, Skall has three years of Archaeology study under his belt as well, but it became so dry and frustrating that he decided to start from zero when we immigrated to Norway.

So you'll end up with degrees in anthropology and archaeology in three years if I get you right, wow, I wish I could get two degrees at once myself. On the other hand, I have more than enough work with my one bachelor thesis at the moment :D

In three years we'll probably be somewhere else again, so we'll see ;)

[scottie0904]

@CaraDanaellea I study Archaeology and Ancient History. I'll be studying Anthropology and Archaeology next year, though, and that will last for 3 years. So, I guess if we were to meet, it would have to be somewhere other than Bergen! ^^

That's no issue though. I love Norway, and generally lush lands such as they are in Europe. Skall has already assisted me in sending his thesis! I will dig into it once I've finished my current assignment(s) :)

And yes, meeting good people is very fun!

[CaraDanaellea]

@scottie0904 I'm always interested in meeting people from all over the world. Skall and I will be in Bergen until July this year, after that, we're going to be 450 km farther north in Trondheim.

What do you study?

[scottie0904]

@CaraDanaellea I appreciate the invitation!

That would be lovely. I have to finish my studies first, but I definitely want to go back to Norway after that. I guess we will see what our situations are when I'm finished! : )

@scottie0904 Hi Scottie and thanks for the sub! :)

It's no surprise that the show was too expensive, everything here costs a lot. But I'm sure the mountains were beautiful as well. If you visit Bergen while Skall and I'm still here we could do something together.

[scottie0904]

Hallo! I'm a new sub,

Thanks for sharing this. I was in Molde throughout August and I loved exploring the mountains and such around there. I was going to come to Bergen to see a metal show, but I didn't get the chance because it was too expensive.

I will definitely visit Bergen at some point, though!
