Norway (Norwegian: Norge), officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Nordic country in Northwestern Europe whose core territory comprises the western and northernmost portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula; the remote island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard are also part of the Kingdom of Norway. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land.
Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747 sq mi) and a population of 5,312,300 (as of August 2018). The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km or 1,006 mi long). Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.
King Harald V of the Dano-German House of Glücksburg is the current King of Norway. Erna Solberg became prime minister in 2013 and was reelected in September 2017. Erna Solberg replaced Jens Stoltenberg who was the prime minister between 2000 and 2001 and 2005–2013. A unitary sovereign state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the Parliament, the cabinet and the Supreme Court, as determined by the 1814 Constitution. The kingdom was established as a merger of a large number of petty kingdoms. By the traditional count from 872, the kingdom has existed continuously for 1,145 years, and the list of Norwegian monarchs includes over sixty kings and earls. From 1537 to 1814, Norway was a part of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, and from 1814 to 1905, it was in a personal union with the Kingdom of Sweden. Norway was neutral during the first World War. Norway remained neutral until April 1940 when the country was invaded and occupied by Germany until the end of World War II.
Norway has both administrative and political subdivisions on two levels: counties and municipalities. The Sámi people have a certain amount of self-determination and influence over traditional territories through the Sámi Parliament and the Finnmark Act. Norway maintains close ties with both the European Union and the United States. Norway is a founding member of the United Nations, NATO, the European Free Trade Association, the Council of Europe, the Antarctic Treaty, and the Nordic Council; a member of the European Economic Area, the WTO, and the OECD; and a part of the Schengen Area.
Norway maintains the Nordic welfare model with universal health care and a comprehensive social security system, and its values are rooted in egalitarian ideals. The Norwegian state has large ownership positions in key industrial sectors, having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, and fresh water. The petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). On a per-capita basis, Norway is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas outside of the Middle East.
The country has the fourth-highest per capita income in the world on the World Bank and IMF lists. On the CIA's GDP (PPP) per capita list (2015 estimate) which includes autonomous territories and regions, Norway ranks as number eleven. It has the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, with a value of USD 1 trillion. Norway has had the highest Human Development Index ranking in the world since 2009, a position also held previously between 2001 and 2006. It also had the highest inequality-adjusted ranking until 2018 when Iceland moved to the top of the list. Norway ranked first on the World Happiness Report for 2017 and currently ranks first on the OECD Better Life Index, the Index of Public Integrity, and the Democracy Index. Norway has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

Natural wonders - Maly Semyachik volcano
Maly Semyachik is a stratovolcano located in the eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is a compound stratovolcano located in a 10-km-wide caldera within the 15x20 km mid-Pleistocene Stena-Soboliny caldera. Three overlapping stratovolcanoes were constructed sequentially along a NE-SW line, with the youngest cone, Tseno-Semyachik, at the southwest end. A hot, acidic crater lake fills the historically active Troitsky Crater, which formed during a large explosive eruption of Ceno-Semiachik about 400 years ago.

Best cafe in Europe? New York Café for dessert in Budapest, Hungary
Come join us for a rare date as we we visit the New York Café in Budapest, Hungary for dessert as we sample cheesecake, champagne sorbet and a local beer. What initially comes to mind about the New York Cafe is just how wonderfully charming it is. When we think of some of the places around the world where we've had afternoon tea this ranks highly with the likes of the Peninsula hotel in Hong Kong or Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This ornate cafe/restaurant has been operational since 1894 and you'll be charmed by its chandeliers, frescoes and live music while you have coffee, cake, tea and/or Hungarian cuisine.

Best cafe in Europe? New York Café for dessert in Budapest, Hungary Travel Food Video Transcript:
Hello there! It is a Tuesday afternoon here in Budapest and Sam and I have decided to go on a fancy date. On a fancy date and why not? It is a beautiful day outside. It is! And we're just having a really lovely day so let's go out for a date. Let's go get some nice dessert or something. Dessert yes. So we are going to a place called New York Cafe and this coffeehouse has been voted one of the most beautiful in the whole world. It looks really luxurious online. So I'm really excited to get there.
Yeah, it is a real institution and what it dates back to the late 1800s. Yeah, it is old. It is very old so it should have some nice charm and yeah let's have a nice date.
Quick update. We did not make a reservation. You probably should be we are next in line because it is the middle of the afternoon. Fingers crossed.
So many choices. How will he ever decide? Sweet, savory what should he choose?
Probably going with the sweet.
Okay, so Sam has not seen any photos of this place before coming here. So first impressions?
Wow, this place is so much fancier than I expected. Like this is up there with some of the fanciest kinds of cafes we've visited in the world.
And like afternoon tea we've done a few of those. Yeah, it kind of reminds me a little bit of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong and it also reminds me of Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires.
Yeah, so I ordered a sorbet and this is strawberry sorbet and champagne sorbet with real chunks of strawberry. And some mint leaves on top and.
So I probably went for the most bizarre drink and food pairing that you could possibly have at a fancy cafe.
I'm going for a beer and cheesecake. Borsodi. Yeah, Borsodi which is a local beer and this looks like a classic kind of New York style cheesecake and I think that is a passion fruit sauce. Apricot. Oh, apricot.
Price point time. That came to 19 Euros total.
We did order some of the cheaper options on the menu like the desserts were the cheapest food items that you could order on the menu and beer was literally the cheapest drink so we did get the beer but some of the other menu items that I noticed that you could get were there were two different kinds of tea sets.
One was 40 Euros the other one was 60. I also noticed that they had a New York burger which was 14 Euros. And they had other things. They had salads. So they have a pretty extensive menu. You could even get goulash as a soup.
And so yeah if you come here there is a lot of different choices. You can come for mains, you can come for dessert and coffee like we did or you can get a great big tea set if you're willing to splurge.
So yeah, highly recommend this place. The atmosphere was really cool and this was just yeah this was a wonderful date I have to say.
So we hope you enjoyed that little food video but it was just short and sweet to kind of show you how beautiful that cafe is. It was more impressive I think than either of us were expecting. Yes, absolutely. So yeah, successful date and now I think it is siesta time.

Hong Kong - City Video Guide
Located on China's south coast, Hong Kong offers some of the world's most intense shopping, sightseeing and dining experiences, yet moments of stillness await at every turn.

Гоа – жемчужина индийского побережья, всемирно известный курорт. Он расположен вдоль побережья Аравийского моря, впадающего в Индийский океан. Свою известность, Гоа получил благодаря очевидным вещам: бесконечным песчаным пляжам, прозрачному океану и безоблачному небу, привлекающим к себе для безмятежного отдыха бездельников со всего мира. Жизнь на берегу лазурного океана под ласковым солнцем, голубым небом и пальмами легка и беззаботна. Это первыми поняли любители романтики, - хиппи 60-х годов. Уже тогда им надоели отлакированные европейские курорты, и в поисках настоящей свободы и любви они таки добрались до Индии, где и обнаружили настоящий рай на земле. Не забывайте, что в Индии левостороннее движение. Поэтому переходя дорогу надо смотреть сначала направо, потом налево. А я бы ещё вверх посмотрел- иногда на голову падают кокосы с пальм, растущих вдоль дорог. К этому движению на дорогах быстро привыкаешь, но в первые дни можно переходя дорогу помять бампера пары машин. Индийская скорость течения времени отличается от нашей. Если Вам говорят, что автобус будет через полчаса, будьте готовы ждать его час или два. Тоже самое и с расстояниями: 100 метров означает километр, за углом, - это минимум через два квартала... Если вы имеете модную, но создающую пожизненные проблемы привычку употреблять наркотики, следуйте разумным мерам предосторожности: остерегайтесь обмана, суррогатов-подделок и полицейских агентов-провокаторов (полицейское провокаторство - явление, незаконное и малоизвестное в России, но совершенно легальное и широко распространенное в ряде неразвитых стран, таких как США, Канада, Индия и д.р.). Имейте в виду, что индийское законодательство в отношении наркотиков очень суровое где сроки заключения достигают 30 лет, а индийские тюрьмы- это совсем не пятизвездочные отели. 2 Вьетнам Страна , занимающая пятое место по экспорту риса; страна где самая длинная в мире подвесная канатная дорога; страна, где 7 из 10 жителей носят имя или фамилию Жуань, и в то же время 40% вьетнамцев умудряются иметь фамилию Нгуен; страна где пьют змеиное вино и потом называют русских братьями, а свой парк отдыха именем Ильича. Вьетнам – это страна с давней историей, оригинальными культурными традициями, мягким влажным климатом и протяженными пляжами. Именно в этой стране можно полно ощутить атмосферу восточной Азии и не затеряться в толпах туристов. Вьетнам, который был разрушен войной, в наши дни возродил экономику, «подтянул» инфраструктуру до достойного уровня и гостеприимно распахнул двери для всех туристов, которым не хватает ярких впечатлений, а русским приключений. 3 Таиланд Королевство Таиланд по праву считается самой экзотической страной Юго-Восточной Азии. Отдых в этой стране вечного лета превращается в настоящий фейерверк удовольствий. Жаркий климат и роскошные белопесчаные пляжи, великолепные отели и высокий уровень сервиса, множество уникальных достопримечательностей и развлечения на любой вкус привлекают сюда миллионы туристов почти со всех континентов.А истинное радушие и гостеприимство местных жителей позволят вам почувствовать себя дорогим гостем и подарят прекрасное настроение в стране тысячи улыбок. Для любителей цветного металла: В Таиланде есть Храм Золотого Будды, где находится его статуя из чистого золота весом 5,5 тонн..... В Таиланде встречаются тоже люди со своеобразным юмором: в магазинах торговцы часто делают наценку до 5% от суммы покупки, если вы расплачиваетесь картой; они считают, что комиссию платежной системы вы должны оплачивать сами. 4 ОАЭ Что такое ОАЭ? Это – одно из самых привлекательных мест отдыха туристов со всего мира. Это – высококлассные отели и лазурные теплые воды Персидского залива. Это – страна, которая связывает Европу с Индийским полуостровом, Дальний Восток с Африкой. Это – страна шейхов и «нефтяных подушек». Это – современные торговые центры и традиционные восточные рынки. Это – бурная ночная жизнь и строгое почитание законов ислама. Это – уникальное сплетение традиций Востока и цивилизации Запада. Это – одна из сказок 1000 и одной ночи, ставшая реальностью.
Юго-Восточная Азия включает в себя полуостров Индокитай. На котором и расположена ее жемчужина - страна Мьянма. Мы путешествовали по Мьянме дважды разными маршрутами. В первый раз - когда у власти в стране находились военные. Тогда еще Бирма Мьянма была малоизвестна путешественникам. А во второй раз - уже после победы демократических сил. Мы не покупали тур в Бирму. Путешествие в Мьянму организовывали сами и путешествовали своим ходом. Эти путешествия и экскурсии по самобытной стране, которая была длительное время полностью закрыта для иностранцев, произвели на нас неизгладимые впечатления. Здесь мы столкнулись совершенно с другим миром.
Во время наших путешествий по Myanmar нас сопровождала замечательная женщина - переводчик, самоучка русского языка, mrs Osomarsi. Она жительница Yangon (Янгон или старое название Рангун, столица Мьянмы - Burma). Вместе с ней мы посещали места, куда часто не ступала нога туристов. Она помогала нам в общении с местным населением и с покупкой билетов на транспорт, оформляла пермиты - разрешения на посещения закрытых районов страны и т.д. Она познакомила нас со своим домом и семьей. Мы очень благодарны ей за это.
Сколько во время наших путешествий мы прошли босиком буддийских храмов, святых буддийских мест не поддается исчислению. Мы принимали пищу в буддийских монастырях, знакомились с местными обычаями, жизнью монахов и паломников, слушали звуковые вибрации мантр в отражениях священных гор, бродили по многочисленным пещерам, предсказывали свою судьбу у буддийских монахов астрологов. Посещали базары, занятия в местных школах и многочисленные кустарные фабрики ремёсел.
В Мьянма достопримечательности это озеро Инле - местная Венеция. Дома жителей, отели, рестораны, расположены на сваях на воде и в деревнях вокруг озера. Многочисленные мастерские, кустарные фабрики на озере Инле расположены тоже на сваях.
От Янгона до Inle Lake можно добраться часа за три. Сорок минут на самолете над Шанским горным плато. Посадка в городке Таунджи и далее на рейсовом автобусе до поселка Ньяуншве. Он стоит уже на озере. Далее на лодке с мотором в наш отель на сваях, где мы провели 3 ночи. Каждый день с рассвета и до заката мы плавали на быстроходной лодке - sampan boat по озеру и изучали жизнь в этом удаленном регионе Birma. Инле озеро с бирманского переводится как маленькое озеро. Расположено оно на высоте 900 м над уровнем моря. Размеры его: 20 на 6,5 км. Глубина колеблется от 3 м (в сухой сезон) до 5 в сезон дождей. Когда и почему люди поселились на озере, вопрос, на который точного ответа пока нет. Скорее всего, произошло это в XI веке. Некая группа бирманцев была вынуждена перебраться с суши на воду, чтобы обезопасить себя от набегов воинственных шанских племен.
Жители Инле называют себя инта, что значит сыновья озера. Они строят на забитых в дно сваях бамбуковые хижины с тростниковыми крышами и плавают на лодках - сампанах. Первое, что поражает на Инле, - это необычный способ гребли, практикуемый местными жителями. Инта не сидят на веслах - они стоят на носу сампана и, обвив ногой весло, с удивительной ловкостью им орудуют. Сохраняя при этом равновесие даже при волнах и занимаясь рыбацкими снастями. Ловля рыбы - одно из главных занятий инта.
Озеро Инле славится своими плавучими огородами, которые можно запросто перевозить с места на место с помощью лодок. Прямо на водной глади жители выращивают овощи. Floating Gardens: плавучие огороды на озере Инле - это плоты, сплетенные из бамбука, корней и травы, поверх которых насыпана земля с донным илом. А чтобы такой огород не уплыл, его прикалывают ко дну бамбуковыми шестами. На огородах жители выращивает огурцы, помидоры, цветную капусту и цветы. Овощи, выращенные на Инле, славятся по всей Мьянме.
Климат бирманского высокогорья как будто предназначен для выращивания кофе. Побывав здесь, не забудьте прикупить потрясающий кофе, который выращивают в горной местности с 1885 г.
Наши путешествия всегда заканчивались на известном пляжном курорте Ngapali Beach. Пляж Нгапали расположен на берегу Бенгальского залива Мьянмы. Это несколько километров белоснежного пляжа. Тихое, уединенное место. По некоторым рейтингам входит в 20-ку лучших пляжей мира.

In Search of Anthony Burgess: Kuala Lumpur sordor
In Burgess's novel 'The Enemy in the Blanket', Victor Crabbe meets Anne Talbot at a cheap, squalid short-time hotel in Kuala Lumpur for wild adulterous sex sessions. They wallow in clandestine sordor. 'Secrecy. Nobody cares here. Nobody knows, priapic Victor tells wanton Anne. Maximal erotic fulfilment is their aim, living for the moment, to hell with their spouses, hang their respective marriages. 'Outside in the narrow street, British troops, repressed after their jungle stints, roared with drink, spilling long-saved dollars. Later they would fight, pass out, or pant in venery.'
It is not clear how much whoring Burgess did in La Línea de la Concepción while he was stationed during the Second World War in Gibraltar, but he certainly drank deeply of the wine of the country while on the Malay Peninsula and in Borneo. On his very first night in Singapore he picked up a Chinese lady of pleasure on Bugis Street and took her to 'a filthy hôtel de passe full of the noise of hoicking and spitting, termed by the cynical the call of the East. I entered her and entered the territory.' He found the whole experience 'enchanting'. Elsewhere in his writings, however, he indicates a preference for Malay prostitutes over Chinese ones. Take, for instance, this extract from the 1959 novel 'Beds in the East': 'And now Crabbe [engaging in a night of harlotry] had his own feather-light chattering burden [a Chinese prostitute]. Desire for a Chinese woman did not come easily: even at their lowest social level they were works of art, engendering a hardly kinetic emotion.' In his 'Confessions' he writes: 'I had better say a little about love-making in the East. With Malays there were certain restrictions on the amatory forms, laid down by Islam, so that only the posture of Venus observed was officially permitted. Islamic women were supposed to be passive houris. The demands of Islamic wives for frequent sexual congress did not indicate true sensual appetite: they were a test of the fidelity of their husbands. A Malay female body, musky, shapely, golden-brown, was always a delight. Malay women rarely ran to fat, which was reserved to the wives of the Chinese towkays and was an index of prosperity. Malay women kept their figures after childbirth through a kind of ritual roasting over an open fire, tightly wrapped in greased winding-sheets. They walked proudly in sarongs and bajus, their glossy hair permanently waved, their heels high. They were seductive as few white women are. Lying with Rahimah I regretted my own whiteness: a white skin was an eccentricity and looked like a disease. Simple though Malay sex was, it had an abundant vocabulary. To copulate was jamah or berjima or juma'at or bersatu (literally to become one), or sa-tuboh, asmara, betanchok (this term was peculiar to Perak), ayut, ayok and much much more. There was even a special term for sexual congress after the forty-day birth taboo — pechah kepala barut — and there were two for the boy's initiation after circumcision — menyepoh tua, with someone older, menyepoh muda, with someone younger. The orgasm was dignified with an Arabic loanword, shahuat, or colloquially called rumah sudah ratip — literally, the structure has gone into an ecstatic trance, ratip or ratib being properly the term for the transport produced by the constant repetition of the holy name Allah. Where the Western term for experiencing orgasm is, in whatever language, to come, the Malay mind, using keluar, thinks of going out, leaving the body, floating on air.'
