The questionaire!!

Here are the questions I would like to ask or wanted to discuss with local Artists and other professionals in Bergen:

Is Art so precarious in your city in comparison to other service industry?
Or why Art is so precarious in this service industry?
How Art deploy as "social engagement in your city?
Who are the creative subjects in your city?
Who are the cool creative types in your city?
How artist help with gentrification, urban renewal, the creation of a service economy, labor of affect/emotions.

I know these quetions are Too general But i have some more fun troubling questions after a serious chat with a friend who does think that Artists are often not very self critical... will post more soon.

The currency to remember & The Mr.Lee's Noodle

10.00 Norway kroner = 1, 936 South Korea Won. 10.00 NOK=1.9 USD.

A glass of beer from the bar/pub is about 50 NOK=10, 000 KRW almost!!

Here is the instant noodle i bought last night from the 24hrs shop. it is 12 NOK=2320 KRW.

Hmm pretty Expensive!! will have to switch to Pasta for an emergency instant food habit-which i often enjoy after drink session!! Btw, what or who is Mr Lee in Norwegian standard on this package?!

Three different flights

This is SAS airline!!
스칸디나비안 에어라인 간식-삼각 김밥!! Seaweed triangle roll above. Sas airline's snack from Narita to Copenhagen.

치즈 샌드위치?! and Cheese sandwich you can choose. not bad.
첫번째 식사!! Obviously rice with bulgogi with Japanse style Kimbap-Seaweed roll. Not bad. The "Kiso spring" container is mineral water. Food was great on Korean airline as usual!! and No usual Bibimbap this time either. I took Korean airline to Narita in Japan, Sas airline to Copenhagen in Denmark and Widroe to Bergen in Norway. how many transit zones and Securities did i go through!! gosh!! seemed like endless transfer and transfer!! This wideroe airine i took from Norway was the most scary one but most cozy one tho.
