Noen fra Norge her?

No Norway but I have been in Sweden many times...U can call me as a Swedish )))

Well, Norway and Sweden are two different countries.(..) I know you probably don't mean any harm, problem is that Norwegians hate to be associated with the Swedes. It has something to do with history. I've been in Sweden many times myself, but I would never live there. But it's nice to see people who know a bit about the Nordic countries though.

Yeah ofcourse I know they are different countries but on the other hand Nordic is Nordic and I know a lot about Scandinavia not a bit
anyway I m sorry if I made u angry...

Well, I'm certainly not Norwegian or Swedish but I have been to both countries and they are absolutely beautiful.

I´ve been to both countries too. I have some friends there and i never heard about this fact. But i agree with Nancy, they are beautiful and their people very warm.

No, I'm not angry, just wanted to point out the difference, since you claim to know a lot.

What do you mean? It's like Canada and the US I would imagine (not that I could claim to know all facts). Maybe hate is a strong word, but Norway has its own history, its own language and its own culture. I never meant to sound rude nor angry though, Scandinavia and the Nordic countries share a lot of history. And by all means, I'm very fond of Sweden myself, I'm there once a month or so. But I guess it's something about pride for our country. Norway's a small country and I understand people who doesn't know Norway. Yet, it always amazes me when I get questions like: "Norway? Is that the capital of Sweden?".

I'm half norwegian and Joanne and Knud are full norwegian!

I think Norwegians should thank to me This Topic is more crowed now
Yvonne you can advertise about Norway better

Canada and the US are completely different from each other. I don't understand what you mean, Yvonne. It sounds as though you think people are putting your country down but I don't see anybody doing that.

That's exactly what I mean, that Canada and the US are completely different from each other.(..) The same with Norway and Sweden.

Norway has always been considered this little country in the north, while Sweden on the other hand has always taken the glory. I guess that's a bit irritating. That's all. I never said that you guys put my country down, I just wanted to be clear.

Jeg er her, har bare ikke sett denne tråden før nå... Norge er vel et av verdens beste land vil jeg påstå he he... Er det ingen flere nordmenn her?? Daniel og Knud er jo det også.

Yes, Melissa! You have to visit our country soon Since your half Norwegian and all. It is very beautiful I dare to say

Joanne I have been to Norway before I have all my dad's family there except for one uncle.

Of course you have, I'm sorry..I forgot

Where do they live??

My dad's relatives live in Oslo and Kristiansand.

Both are great cities, and Kristiansand is perfect to be at during summer!
