In Dublin there was a monument locally called "The Floozie in the Jacuzzi" ("floozie" is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

Welcome to Norway, home of the stave church, cheese slicer and death metal!

Oh, and this is in my home town:

Norway can be extreme sometimes (maybe that's why there's an Extreme Sport Festival).

Just last night I learned what a stave church was, and that many of them were burned down in arson attacks by people in the black metal scene in the '90s. Now I learn that what I've always known as a cheese slicer is from Norway. (Funny coincidence about who settled here...)

It's not the cheese slicer I fear. It's the cheese. Brunost is... different.

It's different, but also really good! If you had it by itself, it's not a good experience. From what I've heard, the best way for foreigners to try brunost is on a waffle. You should try it!

I was in Norway some years ago, visiting a friend in her summer... hut? Everything about it was great, but that cheese was not mine ๐Ÿ˜…
