Mythbusting...

Meanwhile, in Norway....time to put some frequently asked questions to rest.

...no, polarbears do NOT walk around in our streets. They also do not "swim over" from Svalbard, just to hang around.

Out seasons are just like yours, but our winter is pretty long. Spring starts in late april - may (up here in the north), and from this time, until august we have almost constant daylight. It's great, unless you get insomnia;) What I consider a hot summerday is around 70 - 80 degrees fahrenheit. They get up to the 90s too, but this far north that is pretty rare, we might get 3-4 days like that during one summer. About mid-august the temp drops and we start getting fallstorms and lots of rain, but there is always a sunny day waiting and fall is GORGEOUS here, with all the colors in the mountains. First snowfall can be anywhere from late september to late november, I'll keep you posted:)

....the industrial revolution HAS hit Norway too, believe it or not. So we do NOT live in cottages in the mountains, and herd goats, wearing furs.(Yes, I was actually asked this) I'd love to try and live off the land like that but I'm just to attached to my internet and hot showers.

Norway is NOT the capitol of Sweden. That's like saying the US is a part of Canada. Anything else you wanted to ask me?:)
