One of my new rules of travel seems to be: Before visiting a country make sure to read up on blogs written by its inhabitants.
So that’s what I’ve been doing on and off for a few months, though it’s obviously somewhat pointless. What I’m looking for is “local colour”, you know, names of venues, descriptions of local attractions and so on. But expecting to find that in a “local” blog is just silly – I mean, how useful would my own blog be as a guide to anyone visiting Norway (answer: Not very). Still, I ‘ve been reading some, so I thought I’d mention a couple that I’ve enjoyed in any case.
The leptard, whatever that is, is also a fan of Joyce, which has to be good, and also, incidentally, has a completely non-blog-related link to a friend of mine, which is always interesting.
Stunned.org does actually throw up some localised stuff every now and again.
