"'Is it lack of imagination that makes us come to imagined places, not just stay at home? Or could Pascal have been not entirely right about just sitting quietly in one's room?"

Today, I got up early to sail on a pirate ship tour of the Fjords. The tour was pretty bad to be honest, but the pirate ship itself was really cool.
Then, I went to a Viking ship museum where I got to learn about three Viking ships. Apparently, the ships in the museum were used to carry the dead to their afterlife. The Monks were also involved. Using my pretty limited knowledge of these types of people, I will try to make a personality quiz.
Are you a Pirate, a Viking, or a Monk?
You’re traveling and you get lost. How do you find your way?
You watch the movement of the birds and the stars.
You find the nearest café and use their wifi.
You pray to God to help you find the way.
What would you do if you had one billion dollars?
Buy a ship
Hide it abroad to avoid taxes
Donate it
Where do you feel most at home?
On a ship
With my frat bros
With God
How well do you sleep?
I sleep with one eye open
I sleep very well. I need my beauty sleep.
I sleep all day during the winter, but not at all during the summer.
Mostly A’s: You’re a Viking! That technically means you are also a pirate, but you’re more into the warrior side of piracy than the stealing part. You like to dominate, and you do just that.
Mostly B’s: You’re a Pirate! You may also be a Viking, but you’re less of a warrior and more of a thief. Your heart lies with stealing from others—whether it’s stealing their gold, their beer, or their wifi.
Mostly C’s: You’re a Monk! You are so virtuous and Godly. Sadly, you are pretty exhausted since you are only allowed to sleep when the sun sets, and the sun never sets in Norway during the summer. :/
After the tour and the museum, I got on a train to Sweden. Excited for what's next!
