Yes, for real! We have just (9.03 a.m. Bergen time) been shaken, very slightly, by an earthquake. Apparently it hit 3,2 on the Richter scale and shook houses and windows in Askøy and Eidsvåg. Not quite California or Japan style - I don't think anyone had to hold the TV to stop it falling off it's stand as we did in Japan in the early 80's!
No reports so far of any damage - but a great excuse for the insurance companies to put their premiums up!!
A blog about daily life in Bergen, Norway. We moved here in 2010 due to work commitments (my husband's). Now having survived the first winter I feel able to write about the place without too much negativity! it is amazing how a lack of light, freezing temperatures and general horrid weather drain creativity!! I've learnt Norwegian, and work part time - so this really is living in Bergen!
