Have little time in this moment, but I will tell u a little bit.. My friend has birthdayparty tonight...

I didn't now that the people in Norway was tall, but maybe we is!

It is cold in Norway in the winter, but in the summer it is warm. Sometimes 30C.

Once Norway use to be a poor farmer country, but after the world war 2, we discover oil in our sea.. We also earn a lot of money on fish.. So today we are a rich nation...

The humans in NOrway is very reserved. If u sit beside a Norwegian on the bus he dosen't talk to u.. But if u know a norwegian u will discover that we are a funny people that mosyly laught a lot..

The nature in Norway is very beautiful. Norway has everything - long beaches, mountains, rivers, shopping centres.. Everything u need.

Our natiolday is 14th May. We celebrate this day with parades, feast, speaks - if u ever been in Norway at that day I guess u will think we are crazy. We celebrate that day cos we sign our constitution at that date in 1814.
My country is big, but only 4 million live in Norway.

We have a king and queen, but they haven't any power..

That was little facts about Norway.. I have to run!

Bye

I've always liked Norway and Norwegian people, perhaps that's one reason why I wanted to visit Norway... Even my parents have always been interested in Norway and have wanted to go there for a long time. So, we just decided to do it. Very Happy
Well, first we went to Sweden. On the first day we drove from Ume� to Stj�rdal and on the next day moved on towards Mosj�en. Mo i Rana, Narvik and Troms� were also on the way. On the sixth day we started heading back to Finland and drove from Olderbakken to Kilpisj�rvi and then back to Helsinki.
So, we spent a week in our car driving in a foreign country and I was the only one who spoke English (my parents don't speak any foreign languages). It was a bit...scary in the beginning, but when I got used to it, it was very enjoyable. It was great fun! Very Happy Very Happy

Hello Girl from Norway! I have lived in the USA all my life, but I am part Norwegian. I think my grandfather was born there....but I'm not sure. My family still celebrates Christmas in the Norwegian manner....with lutefisk, meatballs, fattigman, glog, sanbakkles, and many other delicious traditional foods. I want to visit there sometime; my father tells me that there are people in my family that still live there.
