Being located in a remote part of the North Atlantic and having a population of 43 000 citizens are not the ideal conditions for a prosperous society, yet that is what the Faroe Islands are!!!! They have everything; two airlines with frequent departures to London, Aberdeen, Reykjavik, Billund, Copenhagen and Oslo; 48 (!) municipalities with an average of less than 500 citizens; three commercial banks, two radio stations, two breweries, one tv station and two mobile operator networks. How come? In my region we are 108 000 and we can’t manage to agree on anything whatsoever!!!

An escape from a busy spring in Norway took me and my two companions to Norther Jütland for a few days in order to catch up on an idea of old that had been left to be just that for too long…
There is a little but nontheless unsuitable video snipplet from this trip…

Copenhagen & Dragør (Denmark)
Dragør is a small and unremarkable place compared to many of the great sights of the world – however – the beautiful yellow painted houses, the narrow streets and the good general atmosphere make you feel that you have landed at a pleasant spot all the same… The reason for my visit was attending a project meeting, but as always there is a little room left for social activities.

Hirtshals & Hjørring (Denmark)
We were running a little late for the ferry back to Norway and had to catch the train. I gave everything I had and jumped after my companions onto the train that was already moving. The only small problem was that the train was moving south – and the ferry was quite a bit to the north.
