Mainly Scandinavian design, and definitely put together for the Scandinavian taste. The location is just across the road for one of the entrances to the big, underground parking house "Klostergarasjen", so you don't have to carry your new crushes long to get them home with you. Illums is the place to go for gift shopping, for inspiration, for setting up your wedding present list or for finding everything you need to decorate your home. The centre is popular, but not crowded, and pricey without ruin you. A treat for a rainy day.

I think the highlights are the dress shop Coast, the Day Birger et Mikkelsen on the first floor and the Netty lingerie in the basement. You will also find nice, expensive designer's wear at Scabal, but there's a high risk that you will find the same clothes on every second 14-year-old in the city, who's parents have either too much money or bad conscience, or a combination of the two. The centre is the oldest in the city, dating back to 1852, so I'm cheering on Kløverhuset and hope they find a better mix of shops and services to put themselves back into the game.

The establishment opened January 2013 and is the "home" for writers in Bergen, as well as a stage for debates, readings, launches, kids' events etc. In addition it has a brasserie and a café on the first level. One Tuesday every month they are hosting the event "Ut med språket", focusing on linguistics and the history and meaning behind common and less common words in the Norwegian language. The show is lead by the TV personality Linda Eide, together with professor in Nordic languages, Gunnstein Akselberg. They also have various guests attending, in addition to an engaged audience. Last Tuesday that guest happened to be my sister, invited to present dialect words from our home town, in addition to discuss her work on her master thesis; looking into the use of "-ish" in the Norwegian language. The show is entertaining (in Norwegian) and is representing just one of the experiences you can get from visiting Litteraturhuset in Bergen.
