I've wanted to go to Norway for a
really long time now. Even though I hear it's expensive to go there, I think it
would be a good experience.
The environment is similar to Canada and pretty
much everyone can speak English there. Because of the amazing environment
there's lots of outdoor activities you can take part in. You can go fishing and
kayaking, Skiing and glacier walking, rock climbing and hiking, and much more.
The possibilities are endless! It would be such an amazing experience to be
able to climb one of the immense fjords, It would be even more awesome to go
paragliding off the mountain (that means you don't have to walk back down)!
It would be really neat to be in
Oslo on Norway's national holiday (May 17th), that way you can see everyone in
their traditional Bunads. I want one, but I don't know exactly what type of
design I would get. The bunads vary by region so some of the designs are
different, even though they look relatively the same. Traditional bunads can
range from $2,000.00 to $10,000.00! Way too much for me, plus I wouldn't be
able to wear it without looking out of the ordinary.
Lastly, I really want to be able to
try fresh local seafood from the frigid waters there. I love seafood and since
Norway is right along the ocean, there's tons of opportunities to sample some
of the local delicacies.
Even though Canada and Norway are
similar, there are still enough differences to make me want to board a plane
and head there right now!
