Enjoyed this story with nice pictures and some text to. Got a glimpse of the country. Just missed that I could get the text in Norwegian. But nice reportage anyway.

Unfortunately every spot in Google Street View will be ridden by blotchy spots. The reason is because license plates occupy the entire public space but considered as private. And the attempt to blur them out leads to huge side-effects. I would drop such regulations if it was my choice. :(

Hi THM - you actually can read this in Norwegian if you'd like. Just scroll to the top, and on the left hand side of the page, below the search box, you'll see a 'Translate' function. Just use the drop down menu to select Norwegian, and it should translate the post for you. Might not be perfect, but hopefully close enough!

The people are doing heavy work by carrying Trekkers and then the images are all ridden by blotchy spots because of privacy concerns. How must the people feel?

I enjoyed the rugged landscapes and 360 deg views. The only thing missing was the Ghengis Khan Statue - I would have drooled to see that again.

Hah! Saw you guys walk right by us during the Naadam opening ceremonies. Needless to say, it was a welcome surprise.
