Norwegian airlines magazine has provided me with some insights to Tromsø, which I noted while on my flight up here.
Tromsø is home to the northernmost univeristy in the world! It is also home to the northernmost brewery in the world, the Mack Brewery. I'll be taking a tour of it this week, so more on that later.
Tromsø has a five-day Latin American festival in March! I'm not sure what a Latin American would be doing in Tromsø, given how fraking far from Latin America it is, but there you have it. Tromsø also hosts a Midnight Sun Marathon in the summer and an active symphony orchestra.
Tromsø has 70,000 inhabitants, but is a vibrant city!
The Northern coast of Alaska is further south than Tromsø.
Now since I'm sick, I've been recovering in my room and resting up so that I can head out and chase the Northern Lights one of these nights. Norwegian television has become my best friend. Please watch the video below, a commercial for Pizza Grandiosa, "uten paprika." You'll understand why I've been so entertained. (Look out for the Norwegian Halling Dance towards the middle: they've replaced the hat with a Grandiosa pizza pie!)
