probably not overly credible, but if you're looking for a pretty detailed overview of his life (without the painful essay format), it's helpful. well, it was for me.

refers to a lot of events that you might want to research further.

A letter from present Ana to future Ms O'Neill


Dear Future Ms O'Neill,
My name is present-day Ana, here informing you of the current situation, that will be historical by the time you reach us in the future: Everybody in present-day Ancient History misses Ms O'Neill, and we hope she is currently enjoying her trip to Norway.
Above I have posted an image, and I hope you have the fortune to stumble upon a chap like that whilst partaking in travels.
Lots of Love,
Present Ana (for me)
Past Ana (for you)

P.S. We are currently learning about Julius Caesar, and every time I google "Julius Caesar" I get Twitter posts about how he may have worn a laurel wreath to hide his baldness.

NORWAY

For Ms O'Neill, I thought I would put up some safety issues to be considered when travelling in Norway,

  •  There is an underlying threat from terrorism . Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers
  • You should be aware that drugs and drink driving laws are stricter in Norway
  • There are few safety concerns in Norway, but you should be aware of the dangers of theft, particularly in the airports and railway stations in and around Oslo.
  • Norway is very expensive - bring or have electronic access to plenty of money, especially if you intend to eat and drink in restaurants and bars. 
  • If you intend to visit forest, lake and mountainous regions you should bring plenty of insect repellent as mosquitoes and midges can be a problem. 
  •  You should bring warm clothes and practical footwear to cope with icy roads and pavements. 
  • When travelling by air, it is important to avoid deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that develops in deep veins. It's a potentially deadly condition that can be caused by sitting in cramped conditions for too long. 
  •  
     Stay safe Ms O'Neill!

    This is Norway...

    A little history lesson for Ms O'Neill so that you are up to date on all that is Norway.
    Hopefully you gain some very useful knowledge for you trip :)
