    Hi! This video features a book called «Min kamp». (It means «My struggle») It’s a bestselling Norwegian book by Internationally renowned author Karl Ove Knausgård. It has NOTHING to do with Adolf Hitler’s book «Mein Kampf». Hope you enjoy the video, and have a nice day! 😀

      🐾💖🥳🥰Happy 2025 to you, Mochi and Mr J. Hugs to you all.

    Oh my goodness! How you and Mochi and Mr J were missed! And how happy I am that you’re back! The Bergen-focused video was great with some beautiful old jazz and city walks. It highlighted some features that distinguish Bergen from Oslo, like the narrow, labyrinthine walkways between houses and the architecture of the small wooden houses, AND the never-ending rain! Very interesting and charming city. But, I liked the part of the video best where you returned to your flat with Mochi and Mr J. That’s when I felt like the world was once again spinning on the right axis. Thank you for telling us about the book you’re reading and making the author recommendation! I hope you’ll continue to make book recommendations for us readers!

    I loved seeing all the narrow streets and picturesque, wooden houses. I'm sure it's always good to visit family and spend time with old friends. And the harbor... Thanks for such a lovely, quiet showing of your home town. Hi to Princess Mochi and Mr. J. I know you missed them while you were in lovely Bergen!

    Hello Introvert, and welcome back!😊 I share your thoughts about home. I was born by the North Sea in Oostende, grew up in Blankenberge, and then moved to Italy. In the end, all the places I’ve left remain in my heart, but at the same time, I feel like a stranger when I go back-I no longer run into friends or acquaintances. Ultimately, your home is the space you create, with the people you love and your passions. As for Karl Ove Knausgård, Ms. Z has read Morgenstjernen, and now you’ve piqued her curiosity with Min Kamp. 😊 Thank you for sharing your memories of your beautiful and rainy hometown.

    You ask the profound question of where and what “home” is and then find the answer at the end, just like a satisfying read. I feel a little more familiar with Bergen, seeing it through your eyes. It is such a storybook town, like a perfect diorama of a seaside city that has been around a long time. So charming, the narrow stone-paved streets! You say Karl Ove “writes very well about what it’s like to be human.” Well, dear man, in your pictures and insights, so do you. 🥰

    Home is any place where you have put down roots. Over a lifetime, you can have many homes. I'm currently living in a place to which I feel no connection. It will never be a home to me. That's why I so enjoy escaping to other, more attractive places, and your videos are a favorite. Your camera work is simple but artful, and your music choices capture and enhance the mood so well. I came for the sweet dog but am glad I stayed for your lovely stories. Thank you for sharing.

    Bergen is beautiful. I like coastal towns, cities and rain as I grew up in a coastal city with lots of rain and I now live on the other side of the world with snow. Home to me is not just one place. Home is the place where I grew up and home is also the place where I have settled - 2 different countries in 2 different continents. Seeing Mochi greet you was precious. It brought a smile to my face. I will look for Karl Ove Knausgaard's novel in English as I like autobiographies. Have a good weekend!

    Bergen looks so beautiful and cozy…❤❤ Hamburg is also a very rainy city. And it happens the same here when it is sunny: we all rush outside to enjoy it (if we are not working, of course 😂😂) and the mood of the whole city and the people changes drastically. I live between two countries 3000 km apart. After more than 13 years in this situation you feel you don‘t belong anywhere. When I travel to my home city in Spain, I know the buildings, the streets, etc. but I feel somehow disconnected. When I go back to Germany it feels exactly the same. It is a very weird feeling…for me Home is where my husband and friends are and that is Hamburg. For now 😅 By the way, Happy New Year to the three of you. Happy to have you back.🥳🙏🏻

    Welcome back, I missed you. Happy New Year to the three of you. I love all your videos but Bergen is especially beautiful. Your choice in music is amazing, love the jazz. Home to me is somewhere you have someone to love. I was born in a little village in Serbia, next to the Hungarian border and I have beautiful childhood memories of it, of family and friends and happy times spent together. Now I live in Australia and it feels like home because this is where my children were born but my village will always be in my heart. What a wonderful feeling it must be for you to be greeted with so much love upon your return by the sweet little Mochi and I'm sure Mr J as well. Looking forward to another year of videos about your cozy and homely life in Oslo. Thanks for all the effort you go to. ❤

    A home more than a physical space is a feeling.
    A place that is the extension of the self, the connection between "who we are" and "where we are".
    And the arms of the person we love sweetly surrounding us, also makes us understand that this is our home regardless of where in the world we are.
    And where a sweet being like Mochi, welcoming us with the same joy even when we cross the front door a hundred times in a row, that is also a feeling of home.
    Thanks a lot Mr. I for allowing us to reflect on the meaning of the word "home" while you toured Bergen, that beautiful city that seems to have been built to the measure of a fairy dream.
    Welcome Mr. I to my home, you and your lovely family were greatly missed.
    Btw: there is also a book "A death in the family", winner of the Pulitzer Prize, by the American writer James Agee. Sooo good.

    Hello introvert. I was very happy to see the pictures of your hometown. It is very beautiful. I don't like rain very much but I love snow. But I imagine that you are used to its climate since you were born and lived there for several years. I read a only book by the author you mentioned this summer. In Italian they translated it La stella del mattino. I don't know the title in Norwegian. I think I would like to live in Norway because even though I am Italian I don't like chaos. But I love silence, discretion and respect for other people. Maybe because like you I am an introvert. A big hug and I await the next video. A kiss to mochi

    Happy New Year nice Oslo family! I saw “my” building again! Wow, when you showed the artwork in your entryway followed by the actual rooftops and buildings in Bergen, it was a perfect depiction. That McDonald’s has to be the classiest one in the world. I love all those homes when you walk between them and wonder who lives in them and what their lives are like. I am curious where people park their vehicles as I never see a parking lot anywhere. The homes just look so cozy and charming. Don’t think I could take 200 rainy days, but I’ll say Bergen is the prettiest rainy city. Must be a Scandinavian thing as I remember my mother admonishing me for saying hi to people we didn’t know. She said I was bothering them. I just thought she was nuts! I figured what hem meant as hemma means home in Swedish. A very welcoming name for a bar. I’m so grateful for your channel because I can “travel” to your beautiful country every weekend just like a mini getaway! Have a terrific week Mr. I. and Mr. J. 🐶❤

    I often ponder the same questions: what is home, where is home? For me, I think home is love - both where I am loved and where I love. As such, home has changed throughout my life. My childhood village is, as you describe so well, like a story tale; a place where identity was formed. The city where I live now is where I have chosen to live, to love, and be loved; and it is the place I have grown into and where I am my true self. Thanks so much for your wonderful perspective on life, and for sharing your lovely family with us ❤

    Дім там, де нам затишно, тепло і приємно, де ми можемо розслабитися і спокійно відпочити.

    I started my childhood in the south of England and moved to the North when I was about 12, although I have lived here for over 50 years I still don’t feel it is my home town. I think because I am an introvert I really struggled with the move, my older sister who is extrovert, didn’t have the same difficulties as me, so I have always longed to go back to the south and still do in some ways, but my children and granddaughter are here so I agree, your home is not always about the place, but where your loved ones are ❤

    • @introvert-and-dog
      @introvert-and-dog  Годину тому

      Thanks for sharing your story- I had not thought about it before, but yes- being introvert must affect how one deals with moving to a new city. Many of us are quite sensitive and it takes more time to adjust. I was lucky to have friends in Oslo, so it made the move easier. It must be hard when you don't know anyone.

    So Bergen has literally nearly the same weather as here. More rainy days than sunny days, just the sort of rain differs. One gets used to it. As we always say, time to grow back the webbed membranes. There is a melancholic fondness thinking about former hometowns. I visit mine from time to time and really would like to live there again. But it changed. Too many tourists and one hell of expensive place to rent or buy. It is a bit sad. I am stuck here and the parts of my family left behind - at my former home town, are now all gone. But I still like it better there, mountains, river, castles, the old city centre, the weather. Whenever I hear the dialect I am getting excited. But home is were my partner is. So yes, end of story. The history of humanity is a history of movement and new beginnings.

    • @introvert-and-dog
      @introvert-and-dog  2 години тому

      Oh what a well crafted comment, I can identify with so much! Especially the part of getting excited when hearing the local dialect. It always warms my heart when returning to Bergen.
      And your last sentence is so true. Yes, humanity's history is truly a story of movement and new beginnings.
      Yes- we can have roots. But we also have feet.

    I've seen Bergen through the eyes of vlogger Steve Marsh, so I was slightly familiar with it watching your video. It's a beautiful, misty place. I LOVE the steep, narrow cobbled passages that wind through the old wooden houses. Thanks for filming your walk through them. I agree with you that home is where your extra special loved ones are. As I grow older (I am 60) I feel less and less connected to a particular place, perhaps because home is in the heart.

    Hello😊 I live in Bergen and in 2024 I started a Vlog from my life here. - Bergen is currently covered in Snow, and recently I made a video from a hike to Stoltzekleiven and Floyen (the two hiking spots above the harbour) in Snow! 😊
    I’ve been following your vlog for a while, and find it so comforting and inspiring. Often it moves me to tears. You have a beautiful gift in story telling and I allways feel soothed by your videos. ❤

    You know, as I “accompanied “ you on your perambulation around Bergen I thought ‘This place is a writer’s dream - the twisty, narrow,quiet streets and sweet houses, the sea…”. Then, at the end the author you are reading spent time in Bergen. As someone who loves writing myself, I recognized the signs immediately. And as someone who has lived in nearly two dozen homes, I think home is the people and the place where you feel most yourself. Take care.

I love the Bergen depiction of your home town in your hallway--Nicely done! I also enjoyed the soft, soothing sound of the rain as you toured Bergen, which is a picturesque town with its cobbled streets and colorful houses, as well as the harbor with its magnificent boats and salt-scented air! I'd especially like the quiet and respect for personal space in Norway as an introvert. Thank you for the lovely tour of your home town! ❤🏘🏤🏫☔🌦

    I am from a sunny country where sociable and extroverted people easily talk to a stranger. We offer our help if he needs it, and if we strike up a conversation or make friends with a person from another country we want to know about their customs and way of life. And for us that is not seen as an invasion of private space but as a kind of warm welcome. That's how we are. I think a Norwegian would feel overwhelmed and think we're too invasive 😂

      Cultural differences are very interesting!
      Having said that, I don't think we are cold at all- it is just the impression many people have. We help strangers with a smile, but usually don't take the first step.

    Godt nytt (lese)år, og takk for Bergensturen! Hjemme er ikke nødvendigvis der hvor vi har vokst opp. Det kan være der hvor vi bor, for kortere eller lengre tid, enten alene eller sammen med den/de vi er glad i. Fint å reflektere litt over dette! En god uke ønskes dere, alle tre!

    It's a pleasure to be back in Bergen and its atmosphere. Thanks for the walks, it’s great to be able to discover this pretty, colorful city! Mochi as happy as ever, it’s a joy to see! As always, fun, culture, beauty and emotions are present in this vlog 🖤 🖤

    Bergen, I guess it got its name due to the hills on which the city has been built. I have noticed some similarities between Norwegian and Dutch weirdly, Germanic based language I guess. I would feel comfortable in Bergen, as it rains as much as here in Belgium. I can feel, see and understand why you like Bergen so much, to be honest I find it more beautiful because it s smaller, close to the waterways and at the same time the hills which makes it quite unique. Love the little narrow streets with cobblestones, it's very charming indeed. What I love about your country compared to Belgium is that although it's clearly overcast and rainy, the houses are colourful which make them pop up visually and it's much more beautiful. I can relate to your happiness being there. For me weirdly is when I'm in India and not the country I was born in. Home is where the heart is I think, I relate so much about what having a huge smile and being happy in the place you like so much except for me it s at the other side of the world ahahaha. Loved your first video Mr I, that night sky back in Oslo is just wow! Mochi was waiting and probably sensed your arrival even before you entered the building. Take good care of yourselves. 🙏

      It's so interesting where we feel at home! When you feel at home in India, it really confirms that home does not have to be where you are born or even grew up. It has to do with people, food and culture I guess.
      And yes, I think there are many similarities between Dutch and Norwegian. They are in the same language family I guess?
      Is your first language French? Since some of your vlogs are in French 😋

    Hello and welcome back! Hope you and Mr J and Mochi had a nice holiday break and are refreshed and ready for a new year. Bergen is so pretty, truly one of the gems in a country that seems to be one big collection of them. I have to thank you for sharing your contemplation of what home is! When you said it was as though there is a veil between you and Bergen when you visit it now, you put into words what I experience when I visit my home town (Brooklyn), but could never find the words to express the feeling. I will always love it but it’s no longer “mine” as it used to be.
    So glad we got a little bit of Princess Mochi at the end - she loves her old ball, even though it’s not really a ball anymore😂🥰! - thanks for another lovely video! Hugs and ❤to you and Mr J and sweet Mochini. Till next time ❤❤

    Bienvenido 🤗!!! Comenzar el año con un "recorrido virtual" por un Bergen lluvioso es encantador, sobre todo para mí que adoro la lluvia.
    En mi caso, la ciudad en la que vivo es la ciudad en la que nací, pero también existe entre ella y yo un velo de extrañeza. Ya no somos las mismas. Demasiadas ausencias hacen que yo no la reconozca del todo ahora. A pesar de esto yo la amo, imposible no hacerlo 🏝️ 😊.
    Gracias por compartir tus lecturas con nosotras. El libro me pareció muy interesante y, realmente creo que hay temas en los que muchas personas pueden verse reflejados. Yo creo que, en el fondo, lo personal es universal.
    Buen fin de semana para ti, para Mr. J y para la bonita Mochi 🐶.
    Love 😘💞✨

    Tack för boktipset!
    Boken heter min kamp på svensk också. Jag har tänkt många gånger att jag ska läsa boken men det blir aldrig av jag blir trött när jag inser att det nog är mer än 1000 sidor att läsa totalt. Då är det lätt att säga att jag läser boken sedan...Just nu läser jag de över 40 år gamla serierna om Tintin och hans hund Milou. Det är ett spännande äventyr och ett gammaldags språk. Ganska underhållande faktiskt.😊

    What a lovely trip to Bergen ❤
    I was thinking how difficult it must be to move in/move out or get furniture delivered to those sweet terrace type of houses in Bergen 💪( steep narrow walkways)
    As expected Mochi is always a delight & thank you for the book recommendations, I'm sure they're available here in Australia in English. Love to all 😊

    • @introvert-and-dog
      @introvert-and-dog  2 години тому

      Oh yes, it's no joke to move when you live in one of those narrow streets! A friend of mine lived in one of those houses. When they moved in, the big furniture had to go through the windows on the second floor which were removed (!) because the entrance was too small 😅😅😅

    Ho visitato Berger quasi 10 anni fa, sapevo che era una città molto piovosa ma quel giorno d’estate c’era un sole stupendo con un bellissimo cielo blu. Non mi fece effetto perché sono italiana, di Roma, e il bel tempo é normale per noi ma ricordo gli abitanti che giravano felici, andavano a correre e si vedeva che godevano di quel tempo splendido. Stupenda Bergen è tutta la Norvegia, spero di tornare un giorno ❤
