Your virtual tour of Alta Norway!

Alright, so I now in the middle of writing exams, instead of studying i shall tour you around the city i have been for the past 3 months. Located 69° latitude north, home of more reindeer than humans. I live right in the city center. A 3 minute walk from school, and a 2 minutes walk to shopping mall. I live in a student housing building. We have 1 kitchen for 8 people. There is a Unesco world heritage site, the Alta museum, many rock carvings, i think i already put some pictures up from when i visited there. Okay some boring history for you: in 1944 the whole town and area were burned down by German Nazis. All except one church, i have attended this church a few times. Everything is in Norwegain, but it is still very neat to experience. Anyways so besides this church, all the buildings are relatively new. Earlier i spoke about hiking to the Halldetoppen, there were 2 buildings on top of that mountains, Germans also destroyed them! All that is left from the original building is the stone foundations.
I'll put here some pictures of my room, i left it messy to give it a more student look. Cause you all know that if i'm not studying i am cleaning my room.
