Norway
Welcome to Norway, the land of the Midnight Sun!
Norway is a country with a long coasts and a lots of mountains, plenty of
space for the 4 million people who live there. The climate ranges from mild
and long summer days to short and cold days in the winter. Seasons are
distinct, with intensely green spring, where you can see everything grow
fast by the day, to colorful autumn days, with trees and sun set in colors
like they are on fire! Frost comes early and it may suddenly snow in May!
People enjoy spending time outdoors and children play in the snow even in
temperatures down to minus ten degrees.
Skiing is the national sport and there are plenty of opportunities to
try your cross country or down hill skiing. In summer, get your bike out and
enjoy the country lanes or forest tracks!
Fjords, lakes, and coasts offer an abundance of beaches, places for fishing
or walks. By law the coast line is accessible to the public, as is also the
case for mountain areas, even if it may be privately owned....
The average education level in Norway is very high. English is widely
spoken, especially by the younger generation. Norway is becoming
increasingly international, so in Oslo, you can find communities for a
variety of languages and cultures. There is also the Lappish people in the
north that speak a totally different language.
Enjoy your stay!
