Stats are always fun - since the sun is out and spring is coming in full speed, many people are looking for hikes and destinations. I'm quite happy that my blog is found in that way since it was meant for that purpose. Some people look for lyrics. But then there are also some really funny keywords:
Statistiken sind schon lustig - seit die Sonne jeden Tag intensive scheint und der Frühling nun wirklich da ist, suchen viele Leute nach Wanderungen und Orten. Das finde ich sehr gut, weil der/die /das Blog ja hauptsächlich aus diesem Grund existiert. Manche suchen auch nach Liedtexten. Andere wiederum nach richtig lustigem Zeug:
peoples trust in weather forecasts
yes people have the tendency to believe in the weather forecast - usually they want to believe it when it says 'warm and sunny' and they do not want to believe it when it says ' rain and cold'.
keine Lust zu übersetzen irgendwie ... sorry

Anniversaries
First of all - I missed the 1st anniversary of this blog - it was in March but that is not so important.
Second: I am one year in Oslo now. Exactly on the 10th of April, I moved into my room in the student dorm. On the 9th in the evening, I arrived in Oslo - the day before I stayed in Tanumshede in Sweden and it was snowing like crazy - what a climate warming - ;). One year ago I was so full of expectations and then there was this time of a lot of disappointment because at the beginning many things just didn't work out . BUT that is usually the case and even with a lot of planning, there are some factors you cannot control. So it was absolutely worth it, not to give up and to get over that phase. Now everything is going well and it was a good decision to come here. The 1st anniversary is a good time to compare countries and here is a list of personal likes/dislikes of Norway (naturally what I like in Norway is mostly not available in Germany and vice versa for dislikes):
positive:
- fresh air - yes the air is completey different than in Germany and you can feel it even in the city (although they say that they have a problem with dust in the air)
- landscape and nature - although I live in the city, I can be out in the woods within a very short time and doing lots of biking, hiking and (if there is snow) skiing without using a car (especially nice during the week after work)
- non-smoking inside - just everywhere and there is not a huge discussion if there should be special rooms or not - smoking inside is just out of the question and it is so nice to go to a pub and coming home without that nasty smell on your clothes
- more hiking and biking trails and ski slopes with light (perfect if you want to go skiing after work)
- the right to camp and hike everywhere (if is it not private property)
negative:
- the alcohol policy - first of all it is too expensive (however, it doesn't really seem to keep people from drinking), second: it is so studid that even for a bottle of wine you have to go to the vinmonopolet, third: no beer sold in the supermarket after 8 p.m.(6 p.m. on a Saturday). I still don't understand why - all people know that and buy more beer before. Fourth: after 10 p.m. you are not allowed to drink beer in the outside area of a pub (what is that good for?).
- the taxes - having to pay around 5000 - 6000€ for your 8 year old car which is not even worth half the price in Germany is just idiotic (taxing new cars - ok debatable but old cars?). And you even have to tax presents - just happened recently when I got my birthday present sent - payed about half of the price of the present as tax. A PRESENT come on guys - I didn't order anything from any company because I know that I would have to pay so much more.
- the lack of biological/organic food - well some people might think that this is stupid anyway but personally I think that it tastes much better and I would at least like to have the choice to buy some
- the lack of choice for many other products - I agree that one should support the regional production but sometimes things from the original country are just better
- this fødselsnummer (something like a social security number): you cannot do anything without that - sometimes it is quite practical but I just feel too much controlled
Of course there are many small things I don't want to mention right now but these are the major ones.

Riddle solved
A few people found this blog because they were searching for "the faces of the Norwegian moose" and I was wondering what the hell that could be ... well you just have to go to a tourist shop and look in the t-shirt section, there you can find:

Advanced geography
What happens if you have a statistics program AND a visitor map? Sometimes they don't locate the people on the same spot but I didn't expect that it might be that far off but see yourself:
The red points are done by clustrmaps, the "exact" location was given to me by statcounter. While the statistic program tells me that there has been a visitor from Toronto, Canada - the map draws a point where I could not even find a city in google earth. The green point is where (according to my geographical education) Toronto should be. The same fun is done for Porto Alegre in Brazil - the red point might more in the region of Manaus - well actually a little too much south. I wonder if those Indian villages in the middle of the jungle have internet ;).
Sorry for the bad quality.

By the way...
... thanks to the very funny person trying to annoy me with stupid search requests ;)
And I am neither famous nor very famous! The funniest thing was the dishwasher and dryer part what has that to do with me? You probably don't know what else you should do on a Sunday afternoon?

How do people find this blog?
This is the list of the recent keywords and I really had to laugh:
3 18.75% ju
2 12.50% bikers shop in oslo
2 12.50% andersnatten
2 12.50% asterisk und obeliks
1 6.25% i am stuiped what can i do
1 6.25% without alcohol deutsch
1 6.25% oslo wohnung
1 6.25% asterisk und obeliks
1 6.25% augunshaug norefjell
1 6.25% moose bag norge
1 6.25% wetter wochenende oslo
well at least people looked especially for me - I didn't know that I am so famous.
And sorry to those people who didn't find a bikers shop here ... maybe I should add a special link section for useful stuff in Oslo and Norway.
Nice, that some people actually found me by looking for Andersnatten and Augunshaug Norefjell because that is what I wanted to achieve with the blog - that people can look at pictures and read what these places are like ;).
The person looking for Asterisk and Obeliks definitely must have been Russian since another Russian wrote a comment about these two guys in my blog.
And I don't know if I could help the person who was looking for I am stuiped what can I do ... I assume that this should mean stupid and I don't have any advice what you could do. I tried to find a solution all my life didn't work - maybe going to Norway works?
Without alcohol deutsch ... are you crazy man? Germans without alcohol ?
Oslo wohnung, wetter wochenende oslo - I am definitely neither an estate agent nor a meteorologist but maybe I really should add some pages where you can find something you need ;)
And moose bag norge???? That is probably the same guy looking for the faces of the norwegian moose and didn't remember what he was looking for to find the blog ;)

The faces of the Nowegian moose
Alke recently made a list of search requests. This is a nice idea so I copy just this one;). Not many people found my blog via google but the first one was looking for:
The Faces of the norwegian moose - ok let's not talk about which words should be capitalzed and which not ;) but let's think about the faces of the moose. Unfortunately I didn't see a Norwegian moose yet but those in AK look like this:
So should there be a difference between the moose in AK and Norway I don't know about?
And I would advice the person who is desperately trying to find out if he/she should change money before going to Oslo (should I change money before going to Oslo and do I need to change money before I come to Oslo) to at least change a little bit (most things can be payed with cards but sometimes they don't work which happend to me several times).
Then there was someone trying to find "Phd in Oslo" - you get thousands of pages then so I wonder how the person found my blog (so if you were specifically trying to find this blog try the faces of the Norwegian moose ;))
