"Our trip around Cardiff". Students from Finland, Norway and Wales was sent out into the streets of Cardiff to get to know the city, and also to figure out similarities and differences between the various countries.

1. Cardiff, Bergen and Uusikaupunki – some similarities
and differences regarding architecture and culture

2. The Millennium
Stadium
In Uusikaupunki there
is nothing like this. In
Bergen there is a
football stadium
home of the team
Brann. They play
there every week. It
holds 20,000 people.
The Millennium
stadium hold 74,500
people.

3. The City Hall
In Bergen and
Uusikaupunki they have
no large city hall as
neither of them are cities
as they have no
Cathedrals. They have a
little one in
Uusikaupunki. What
struck Ben at first was the
amazing architecture
inside of the building, in
particular the marble
hall.

4. The Museum
We all have museums but
they aren’t as big as the
one in Cardiff.
It seems that in Cardiff
we are more interested in
the history and in Bergen
they are more interested
in science as they have a
science museum.
In Uusikaupunki there are
a few small museums but
they are not as popular
as in Cardiff.

5. Compared with Bergen, this museum is very old. In Uusikaupunki
the museums look like any other building.

6. We then took
the train to
the bay!

7. The Senedd
The expectation was an old
building, there were many
disappointments. Compared
with London it is tiny. There is
nothing like this in Bergen and
Uusikaupunki. However, there is
one in Oslo which is called
Stortinget. It is a circular building
which symbolises democracy
through a person with open
arms.

8. Wales Millennium Centre
The WMC went down
well as it was nothing
like the theatre in
Bergen because the
one in Bergen is very
old, about the same
size, but not as
popular. They have a
theatre in
Uusikaupunki but it is
an amateur theatre
group and it is small.
It also is multi
purpose and serves as
a concert hall too.

9. Our Norwegian
Church
A Typical
Norwegian Church

10. Lightship 2000
In Uusikaupunki
and Bergen
there are a lot
of boats as they
live on the
coast. However
they have no
boats that have
been turned
into a tourist
attraction.

11. Red Dragon Centre
This area of restaurants
is something completely
different to Bergen and
Uusikaupunki. They
have areas with
restaurants but not with
the cinema and bowling.
They both have
cinemas. Bergen’s
cinema is old compared
to ours. The cinema in
Uusikaupunki is again
quite old and small
compared to the cinema
in Cardiff.

12. KFC
As we go there a
lot for lunch we
decided to go
there yesterday.
There are no
KFCS in Finland
or Norway so this
was a new
experience which
everyone
enjoyed!

13. Starbucks
There is one
Starbucks in
Norway and two
in Finland, we
have five just in
the centre of
town!
