Bergen, Norway

Bergen, Norway located on the west coast of Norway. It is the 2nd most populous city in Norway. It is the largest seaport in Norway. The port handled 56 million tonnes of cargo, making it the ninth-busiest cargo port in Europe. Although the latitude is high, but the weather is not that cold in winter. The Gulf Stream provides the city with the warmest winters of all cities in the Nordic countries. Bergen experiences plentiful rainfall in all seasons. This is because the city is surrounded by mountains that cause moist North Atlantic air to undergo Orographic lift, yielding abundant rainfall. Rain fell every day between 29 October 2006 and 21 January 2007, 85 consecutive days. It is a very popular cruise ship port, the port saw 264 cruise calls with 350,248 visitors, In 2009. I believe the number should be higher now. When I was there, the sky is cloudy, anytime can have rain. There is big Chinese commercial building - Building of Hui, also a large Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor. The day I was there is Sunday, so stores are generally closed. That is quite different from North American countries and most European countries.
