Of course there is always negative things to say about ones country and there is always things one would have changed, but Norway is not a bad country to live in.

I remember in '83 me(16 years old) and my parents wisited relatives in Canada. One of the older of them were SO surprised when we told her Norway had television too! And telephones!!!

She had some rabbits in her garden, and asked if I EVER had seen somethins SO strange! My respect for Canadian citizen's knowlegde about the rest of the world dropped to a very low level....

But of course there are a lot of different people!

By the way I live in the very south of Norway. Because of the Golfstream Norway has a warm climate compared to other countries on the same latitide.
A friend of mine who have traveled a lot in the US told me that Southern Norwegian climate is about the same as Seattle.
Not exactly Soputhern Califorina of course, but nice varm summers and winters to live with.
