This blog
begins as an attempt to express our experience in the land of the north: Norway.
Much is
said and wrote about this country and since foreigners living here we decided
to create a little place on the web with an overview of our adventures further
north.
Everybody
has a pre conceived idea about what a place is like, but it's not until we
totally feel it, breathe it, live there, that we are actually able to have a
clear view regarding all the aspects that embracing a new home country brings
with it.
Some things
are pretty obvious, some we easily grip, some will make you pull your hair off
and other things will make you realize that in the end vikings are a bunch of
friendly people, who sometimes help you pull your hair off... Not literally
fortunately!
And of
course the decision to hold on to a new homeland is always the (hopefully not
forced) choice of leaving our own country. Moving from the place that has
always been familiar to us is as challenging as accepting the curious new world
that we have ahead.
So we
welcome you to join us in this sometimes interesting, sometimes disturbing, but
always exciting journey of being a foreigner in Norway without losing the north.
