Hmm, I was at work the other day speaking to a customer and we got onto the subject of where we were going on holiday in 2010.
They said they were going somewhere hot, however when I said I was going to Norway they said "erm, why would you want to go there, its always cold isnt it???".
The amount of people who say this drives me MAD!!!!!
It's crazy that so many people see Norway this way, as a cold arctic wasteland, with strange angry people living in igloos...
I keep saying to people "check my website for the truth" and this is why I have built my website, for the purpose to re-educate people on Norway.
I understand that the Norwegian winter can be harsh (I did work outside in it when I lived there) and I know thats pretty much all we are taught about Norway in school, but its like saying Spain is always hot and all the French eat is garlic!
For those out there who still dont know much about Norways weather, please check my weather page for more information.
And again... Norway is NOT always cold!
Sorry if I seem to go on a bit about this, a bit of a sore spot for me, but I love Norway and the Norwegian people and if someone misses out on visiting Norway because they have been misinformed, then that will be a shame.

After marring a "weegie" I spent my honeymoon touring round Norway. In June I was picking up a cracking tan sunbathing at the foot of a glacier.
I would also like to say that in winter -15 over there where the air is dry actually feels a lot warmer and more comfortable than winter here when it is +4 and damp!!
