RE: Hiking to Mån
I am lucky indeed. I want to go there too! Kind of a bit embarrassed that I haven't already ! You have trolls?! That's adorable. Are those the ones with bright hair?
Wow I've never heard about dream trolling, that's really cool though. Trolls are a part of our culture, we even have an adjective that we use when something looks "trollsk". It's kind of a bit mystical, often a bit foggy, as if you wouldn't be surprised if you saw a troll coming from behind the mountain! :P
You should definitely come visit! :)
Dana meant this kind of troll: http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/norwegian-trolls
We have the plastic colourful haired ones too, but it is the traditional ones that appear in our and our visitors dreams. Maybe Dana can find and post a pic of our troll altar.
Have you seen the Norwegian film 'The Wave'? Quite telling that the woman in that film that strokes the troll hair has good luck... ;)
I was thinking about the ones with colourful hair, yes! That would be cool. :) I miss those.
And that is so crazy that you mentioned "The Wave"! My dad put it on last night! I was reading an exciting book, so I didn't watch with him, but I was thinking that I kind of want to. Haha. Is it good?
We really enjoyed it. It's a catastrophic movie, so quite dark and scary but very good. I would recommend it for sure. :)
That's cool. Most of the characters in it are comedians. When you know that (especially if you know who the actors are) it becomes more funny than scary. But yeah. A great film for learning about Norwegian folklore!
Do you mean in the Troll Hunteror in the Wave?
The Troll Hunter. :)
Synchonicities are my speciality! ;)
@dana-varahi and I both really enjoyed "The Wave". It gets a little scary in places, and a little dark, but if you enjoy disaster movies you'll love "The Wave". We've watched it twice now...
Oh really?! Maybe I should give it a watch then! I feel I should watch a bit more of Norwegian film, I hear it's improving.
There have been a number of Norwegian films we enjoyed recently. I can't remember all the titles, but 'The Wave' was particularly good.
Now that I'm back in the country it should be easier to watch some although I rarely watch films. But there are a couple I'd really like to see!
Here come the trolls!
"trollsk" sounds great! :D
Scottish Highlands are very often trollsk!
I can imagine! Have you seen "Troll Hunter"? Great Norwegian film about trolls. It will give you an introduction to the twisted Norwegian sense of humour.
Troll Hunter! Yes, I love it. One of my favourites. It's epic and so funny, real gem!
The famous scene: troll yell! :D
Haha! That's so funny!
