Kaupang
Kaupang was a Norse term for market-place. Today, it is generally used as a name of the first town-like market-place in Norway, the Kaupang in Skiringssal, which is located in Tjølling near Larvik in Vestfold. Kaupang was an important merchant and craft center during the Viking period and as yet the first known Norwegian trading outpost.
History
Kaupang was founded in the 780s and abandoned for unknown reasons in the early 10th century. It was situated on a beach by Viksfjord in Larvik municipality. Documentary sources indicate that the area was an important royal seat in the 8th and 9th centuries.
There is a general perception that Kaupang is mentioned under the name of Skiringssal (Old Norse: Skíringssalr) in Ohthere of Hålogaland's account of his travels. But the name of the port Ohthere visited at the end of the 9th century is only recorded as "Sciringes heal" in Old English, and there is no scientific evidence that "Sciringes heal" corresponded to Kaupang in Skiringssal.

Una Nube
by: KapangaMe sigue una nube
Que baja y que sube
Me sigue una nube
Que baja, que sube y no de algod?n
Que cuando se aleja
Me da gran tristeza
Cuando se acerca
Pone rojos mis ojos de la emoci?n
Y cuando llego a mi casa
Ella va por la terraza
Y en el patio
Nos ponemos a jugar
Y cuando llego a mi casa
Ella va por la terraza
Y en el patio
Nos ponemos a jugar
Me sigue una nube
Que baja y que sube
Me sigue una nube
Que baja, que sube y no de algod?n
