📷 Oslo, Norway. Vigeland Park. April 2010.
It was our first family road trip, when our firstborn was four months old, and we drove for over seven hours to get from where we were living in Sweden to get to Oslo - the beautiful capital of Norway.
We stayed in the splendid Radisson Blu Scandinavian Hotel, visited Oslo Slottet (Royal Palace) and witnessed the changing of guards, window shopped along the main shopping street Karl Johans Gate, had a nice dinner by the waterfront at Aker Brygge, and took a boat ride along Oslo Fjord.
The place that left behind the deepest impression in me was Vigeland Park - which is the world's largest sculpture park by a single artist (Gustav Vigeland). There is a total of over 200 sculptures in the park and most of them are in the human form depicting different emotions and stages of life. Some of them were really fascinating and mind blowing, for instance the mother and child one here caught my attention. Although Vigeland didn't leave behind aids to help interpret his work, this sculpture is often perceived as a positive one and I saw it as one of joy, gratitude and bliss - exactly how I felt when I stepped into motherhood and held my child for the first time.
Just today, the toddler refused to let me go to the loo and had a huge meltdown when I absolutely had to. He cried profusely, tugged at my leg and even insisted on sitting on my lap. It was kind of hilarious yet absolutely endearing at the same time. I reminded myself that one day soon, he would spread his wings and fly and would no longer need me the way he does now. All I can do is cherish, hold dear and be thankful for the time when he still calls "Mama" a hundred times a day, can't make it through the night without me and kisses me a hundred times a day to let me know how much he loves me.

Video Title: The Mysterious Chinese Art Heists Across Europe
"Stockholm, Sweden. 2010. Passersby on the streets of the capital were confused and scared. Several cars in and around the vicinity had lit up in flames, and no one had any idea why. Police soon arrived on scene but they too were baffled with what they saw. Now, several kilometers to the west, on the outskirts of the city, a small group of masked men made their way across the grounds of the Drottningholm Palace (the private residence of the Swedish Royal Family, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Their target was the royal pavilion situated in the southern part of the complex, which displayed countless works of historic art. Once there, the men forced their way in through the backdoors, and went right to work. They smashed the protective display cases, and grabbed whatever items they wanted. This immediately set off the alarm system, which alerted the Swedish police. Now, despite the alarm, the robbers remained calm, because they knew exactly where the police were. The burning cars were in fact a distraction for them set up by the robbers, and they had fallen right into the trap. Still, the police raced towards the crime scene, but by the time they reached the royal pavilion, the place was empty (the robbers were in and out in less than six minutes). Upon inspection, sculptures, chalices, plates and teapots - all invaluable items - were now missing from the permanent state collection of art and antiquities; and this wasn’t just a huge economic loss, but a cultural one as well. It was later found out that after fleeing the pavilion on mopeds, the robbers made their way to a nearby lake where they were then picked up by a white speedboat. Though from this point, the trail went cold...
*Note: The narrative of the implication of the Chinese government was made popular by Alex Palmer of GQ in 2018 (though these suspicions had existed long before).

The Norway Royal Palace is located in Oslo city. At certain time, there will be changing of guards. Its interior wasn't open to public at that point, the royal family was still staying inside. From end of June, when their summer begins, it will be opened to public as guided tours.
