Hi Elaine, welcome to the blog and thanks for the kind comments! It’s certainly been an eye-opener living with “janteloven” for the past 3+ years, it has its benefits and drawbacks, like all places really, “the grass is always greener on the other side”!

Thanks for the prompting about a language update post – good call!

I just found you today!!! So excited…………………….I would love to eventually live in Norway. I have visited several times and I find it extremely captivating. I would love to hear about your adventures and I promise to follow you closely as you experience the lifestyle of this amazing country.
I love their language and culture. They fascinate me…….love everything about it.
Last year, I experienced the May 17th celebration!! I was astonished at how they are soooooo proud to be Norwegian!!! It was just breathtaking! I love the fact that they believe in ” egalitarian principle”…….(so many can learn from them.)
I have always been intrigued with the Vikings since I was very young. I am a massive fan of the band “a-ha”……I have pics and autographs while attending their concerts from different places all over the world.
I have been learning their language for a while and I would love to hear how you are doing in that area?

So, keep the up the great work……..and I love the fact that you are living the life of a Norwegian……please keep in touch!!

Hyggelig å treffe deg.
Har det bra!

Elaine
