Norway was one of the most pleasurable trips i have made in life. I could describe Norway in one word "Green". Norway is a place that everyone has to visit at-least once in life. The Fjords (pronounced /fjɔːd/ or pronounced /fiːɔːd/) which is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides, created in a valley carved by glacial activity, is an amazing site worthwhile going to.
My entry into Norway was thru Oslo. At Oslo we took the High speed Train to get to the Oslo Central Station. Here we took the next immediate train to Voss which is a small town on the way to Bergen.

Finland Oulu
I have been in Oulu for the last 1 month and 24 days, pretty eventful and thoroughly entertaining,
I will be completing 2 months here on 7th of this month(July) and I will be leaving back for India on 8th July Oulu-Helsinki-Mumbai-Bangalore, where I would be on leave till friday. I would be reporting back to office on Monday week after next.
This trip to onsite, unlike my previous one to USA, wasn't that difficult. I had a good time plus did some quality work.
Hopefully I will do well when i get back.
Coming back to Oulu, Oulu is a simple town in northern Finland. The environment is somewhat similar to Margao, Goa in the 90's, Quiet Green and pleasant. The thing here about finland is since it is very close to the North Pole, There will be daylight through out 24 hours. The sun sets but there is light, which is very new for me as an Indian.

My trip to Rovaneimi
Rovaneimi is a small town to the north of Oulu ! Finland. It is situated close to the Arctic Circle and between the hills of Ounasvaara and Korkalovaara, at the confluence of the Kemijoki River and its tributary, the Ounasjoki River.
In the Lapland War, during the Second World War, approximately 90% of the total property in the town was destroyed by German troops. The rebuilding of Rovaniemi began in 1946. Several public and private buildings designed by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto have been erected in the town. One example is the Administrative and Cultural Centre, which comprises the City Hall, the Lappia Hall (housing the City Theatre, Orchestra and Congress Hall), and the Provincial Library.
The other place i had been to was the World Famous Santa Claus Village which is built to be the home of Santa Claus. It is the most popular tourist destination in Finland with thousands of tourist visiting it every year. The majority of tourists come from United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, France, China, Japan and other countries. In North American culture, Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, though North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and there is no land. This opinion is widespread in the world and reflected in many feature film and advertisements about Christmas. In majority of European cultures the exact location of Santa Claus residence is not specified. The Santa Claus Village in the Arctic Circle is the main world-wide recognized Santa Claus residence.
Both these cities are worth while visit for people coming to Finland

My Experiences
One of the many things in life that i have been noticing is the way people behave to different situations !
In a typical Office situation,, how each person reacts to a same type of situation is worth knowing. Not only does it gives an insight into the individual's thought process it also helps us be on our toes !
Comparing your reactions with other people's reactions also helps us know what to do when such situations also arise with oneself !
