400 words about what you did over the Christams Holiday ,and how it is different from china?

I went to Bergen (Norway,not NJ) for Christmas.It was very quiet,very few tourists.I stayed in a wonderful hotel,well located,very comforable,that compared favorably with the Rome Airport Hilton.I did a little sightseeing and shopping on Tuesday.None of the tourist sights were open on Christmas Eve and the stores closed at noon.I found a fish shop that had fried fish balls and fish cakes to take out,so I bought some and ate in my room.They were delicious.
Unfortunately,almost everything was closed and I ended up having Christmas dinner at the Radisson Hotel,which was one of the few places open.They had a buffet with many salads,which I do not eat; baked haddock with butter,roast beef with gravy,what I think was whale,which I didn't try since one of my German friends advised me not to eat it (she had some when she was in Norway some years ago and said it's terrible); and,of course,boiled potatoes,which were excellent (Norwegians eat lots of potatoes).The dessert section was to die for,but not traditionally Norwegian.I had strawberries with cream,an outstanding chocolate mousse with mocha sauce,a very good mousse with a light lemon flavor and flan (the flan in Mexico's better).I must have gained 10 kg just from the desserts.
Otherwise,I drank coffee in my room,smoked cigarettes (the room was a smoking room which is the only place you could smoke in the hotel),and read.I couldn't even talk to my cats since they were at home in east Germany,but I thought about them.This is the farthest north I've ever been at this time of the year; it was still dark as night at 8:30 AM and began to get dark around 3 PM in the afternoon,so there's not much daylight there in the winter,but in the summer they have the midnight son.
I flew home Thursday on 2nd Christmas.Over here the day after Christmas is called second Christmas.Absolutely nothing ij Luebben,which is halfway from here to Berlin,was open and I had to stop at the Aral Tankstelle to get a cup of coffee on my way home from the airport (2 hour drive).
When I arrived home,the babies were glad to see me and all wanted to be petted,even the farm tiger and he didn't bite or claw his mommy either!I found 2 kinds of chocolate torte from my cleaning lady whose husband is a baker and a figurine of Donald Duck from my neighbor's 2 kids ages 5 and 7 and,of course,lots of heavy petting,accompanied by purring and pawing,from the babies.
