4. I was there in the summer, and outdoors quite a lot.

I was very surprised by many things I learned during those four months.

In the USA, I wore contacts, as the glasses my prescription required meant I had to have coke bottles inside a frame hanging off my nose.

Norway had this wonderful ultra thin material from which prescription eyeglasses were made. this same material finally showed up n the USA some three years later.

The scientists there did their data some six points past the decimal, and in some cases, even ten. While American scientists did not go that deeply.

The water was very pure. My skin did not have to tolerate the chlorine or fluoride that is in our water.

People here in the USA think the fluoride in our water comes from some ultra pure source. In many cases it is merely the debris that industrial processes have already contaminated!
