Hmm these are all great places. I wish I had known about them while I was in Sweden and everyone was telling me Oslo is boring so don't go to Norway. I should never ever listen to people! Especially natives of some countries. They are usually unimpressed by it because they see it everyday and they tell you to go elsewhere.

I actually meant the fear of open spaces.

i will ignore that subtle racial comment. some of us actually have a nationality that allows us to move anywhere in europe, no questions asked, no papers to file. in any case, norway is closer to home than where im living at the moment. visited oslo a while ago and loved it.

Bad things happen in even the most beautiful of towns. 5 days after hitting front page part of the mountain slipped off into an apartment block - 5 are still missing. It is on the left side and about 400m back from where this photo was taken '<a class="user" href="http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/03/27/five_believed_trapped_by_norway_landslide/9084/">http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2008/03/27/f ...</a><a class="user" href="http://news.monstersandcritics.com/europe/news/article_1397137.php/Fire_prevents_search_in_collapsed_six-storey_apartment_building">http://news.monstersandcritics.com/europe/news/art ...</a>

Thought Id throw this out there to the Norway Fans. "The producers of Norway’s version of “American Idol” are looking for fun & outgoing Americans with Norwegian ancestry (even a little bit counts) ages 18 – 60 to participate in an exciting new reality travel competition series set in Norway. Visit www.oconnorcasting.tv/norway to download an application for the show."
