“Look how steep those mountains are, Phil!” Barbara bowed down, peering at the mountain peaks that could be seen through the windshield. “Is the mountain we are going to climb that steep?”

Philip glanced at his wife with a faint smile. “Why? Are you scared?”

Barbara’s lips pursed. “No. I’m with you. Why should I be afraid?”

When she returned her gaze to the front, Barbara immediately pointed. her index finger. “Look! That house is so cute. And why is it red again? Do all the houses here have red walls?”

reflected the social status of the owners.

Barbara’s eyebrows rose. “Social status?”

Philip nodded. “Yes. Red paint is the cheapest compared to other paints. Because of this, many residents such as farmers and

fishermen paint their houses red.”

While Barbara’s mouth widened, Philip added, “Apart from that, there is yellow paint which is more expensive, then white paint. From there, the color of paint has become a symbol of a person’s wealth. People who have white houses are rich people.”

“Is that still true today?”

Philip shook his head. “I don’t think so. But apparently, it has become a habit. The houses in the fields and areas close to the sea are mostly still red.”

“But it’s become a distinctive feature. If the twins saw it, they’d definitely say those houses are cool” Barbara muttered before straightening her back. “Anyway, I just realized. It turns out you’re

Philip snorted in amusement. “I’ve only heard about it, Babe. Didn’t really learn.”

“But still, you sound smart. What else do you know?”

Philip muttered, racking his brain. “You know that Lofoten is on the Arctic Circle, right?”

Barbara nodded hesitantly. “Yes.”

“Then why doesn’t it freeze? Surfers even love visiting one of the beaches. Can you imagine? Surfing in polar waters.”

Barbara froze. Her mouth rounded, realizing the fact. “Is it because it’s summer?”

“No. Even in winter, the average temperature rarely goes below
