Wonderful Norway

Speaking of Norway, people can naturally bring the world famous novel "The Forest in Norway" to mind. There are many mountains in Norway. All kinds of villages are seated among the mountains. Between the villages are just the forests which are far away or nearby as if they are waiting for something. The forests of birches and firs which are both thin and thick are neither secretive like the virgin forest in image nor profound like the description by the authors.

In Norway, you can see the forest everywhere. The Norwegian like the forest very much. It is ruled by law that people must plant a young tree in the time limit after felling a tree no matter it is public-owned or privately owned. The Norwegian go to the forest is like our going to the square in weekends. People go to the forest to have a walk, go fishing deep in the forest and pick the mushrooms and wild fruit or only to do mountain climbing. I hear that there is usually a small log cabin deep in the forest. Beside the doorway is a mail box. People can live here for nights only after putting the money into the box. People would tidy the room and put some wild flowers in the drawing room for welcoming the next guest when they leave.

Whether the music of the Beatles or the word of Haruki Murakami, both make people the forest in Norway mysterious and beautiful which is beyond description. The forest in the novel of Haruki Murakami is mysterious, endless and is filled with the atmosphere of lost and coldness. In the true world, seventy-five percentage of the land are forest and greenbelt in the capital city of Oslo which is only with a population of five hundred thousand. Here is a typical place where the Nordic get along very well with the nature.

It is said that the original meaning of Oslo is "the valley of God" while another meaning is” plain of the foot of mountain". Oslo leans close to the circuitous firth of Oslo. Being viewed from a high place, it is surrounded tightly by the sea and the forest. The forest is endless. You can not see an end. Only one third of the entire city land is developed for construction. Most of the area remains in the nature status.
