    NORWAY

    One of the most beautiful countries in the world.


    Norway shares land borders
    with 3 countries:
    Finland, Sweden, Russia.
    Norway's capital city, Oslo, is
    in the southern part of the
    country.
    The capital Oslo is Norway's largest city, with about 620.000
    inhabitants.
    Bergen is a large
    city, but one with a
    small-town charm and
    atmosphere. Its
    passionately patriotic
    inhabitants are proud
    of its history and
    cultural traditions.
    During the months of
    December, January,
    and February, the
    days are short and the
    nights long. North of
    the Arctic Circle the
    sun doesn’t rise for
    weeks or even
    months.
    The weather can be very cold,
    with temperatures down to
    minus 40 degrees Celsius in
    some places.
    Compared to other
    countries, people in
    Norway have a lot of free
    time. Norwegians
    admittedly work nine to
    five, but they have
    afternoons and evenings
    off – in addition to almost
    every Saturday and
    Sunday, as well as
    Christmas, Easter and
    summer holidays.
    One of the must-see places in Norway is
    ice hotels.
    The Snow Hotel in Norway is a unique destination with lots of
    room inside and beautifully lighted artwork made of snow. At the
    geographical location of the Snow Hotel, you experience the
    Polar Nights each winter from around mid-November
    through mid-January.
    The traditional national
    costume of Norway is
    called bunad. Both men and
    women own these peasant
    costumes.
    Typical traditional dances
    for Norway folk music
    include the Halling
    (hallingdansen), shown
    in Alexander Rybak's
    winning performance at the
    Eurovision Song Contest.
    There are a lot of holidays in
    Norway. One of the biggest
    holidays is Chirstmas. As
    in many European countries,
    most Norwegian towns and
    cities also have Christmas
    fairs and markets. Most
    decorate the streets with
    lights.
    Finally, I would like to share interesting
    factors about Norway with you.
    When you get a book
    published in Norway,
    the Government will
    buy a 1000 copies
    and distribute them
    to libraries.
    In 2008, Norway
    donated US$1 billion
    to help save the
    Amazon rainforest.
    All prisoners in Norway have internet in their cells.
    The longest road tunnel in the world is the
    Laerdal tunnel. It is 24.5 km long and it takes on an
    average 20 minutes to pass through the tunnel.
    Norwegian passports
    display Aurora Borealis
    under UV lights..
    I think Norway is one of the most
    beautiful countries in the world.
