Diary of Won-bok Choi - Sun Myung Moon's first visit to Norway

The translation of dr. Won-bok Choi’s diary, the page about the Oslo visit on 22nd July 1965: We are going to Norway today at 8:50 AM. We had breakfast and left at 7:30 AM . We took a hotel taxi from Denmark hotel to the airport. I thought it might take 2 hours to Norway. But it took only one hour due to the time difference. After arriving in Norway, we went to Bristol Hotel and unpacked in room 302 and 301. At 1:00 PM, we went to the Slottsparken (Royal Park) and decided the holy ground where it is toward the palace and full of grass. The flag was down which means the King is not in the palace at this moment. This place is nice. Even though we knew there will be a time for the traditional changing of the guard, we had to leave because we were supposed to take the bus at 2:30 PM. On the way to the bus, we asked a taxi driver whether there is a Korean restaurant in Oslo. He explained that there is a Chinese restaurant that could make Korean foods sometimes. We tried to give him some tips but he refused . Instead, he took us to the restaurant that he mentioned. If we did not take the taxi, we would have some troubles to find the restaurant. It was quite complicated.

We had a quick lunch and went to the bus at 2:30 PM. We went to the Viking Church (the Folk museum). Many people died here for not believing this church. This church is made of logs and followed the Catholic form. It was quite dark even with many candles and couples have wedding ceremony here. It was full of grass on the roof. They made a steam with hot stones by throwing cold water on it.

The ship museum (The Fram museum) was impressive. People crossed the Pacific Ocean only with this raft. In the basement, abundant fish was on display. The ship was used by Amundsen who was the first to reach the South Pole. It was built in 1893. After dinner, true father stayed at the holy ground till midnight and went to the hotel by foot.
