Norway versus England.
I'm sharing this frightfully interesting information with you - because - I can.
Norway:
Good things
1) It's pretty
2) You have pølse og lompe - (Which I LOVE).
3) That a mate of a mate went to school with your Dad's Auntie's cousin.
4) Kjøttkaker
5) The men are good looking and generally appreciate Monthy Python and British culture - fab.
6) That gasp sound you make when you agree with someone - excellent.
Bad things
1) The looooong winters
2) Some are a bit too private
3) The lack of choice
4) That a LOT of people (especially women - especially Christian women) seem to want to rush into getting married and being known as grown up and established. They seem to join the: "I'm the most boring person in the world competion" (which they usually all manage to win too), at the first sign of a serious relationship. If someone just so happens to be childlike and enjoy having a pulse - they are treated like someone who is suffering from leaprosy and are usually forced into wearing a bell around their neck - (or they're deemed immature because they're just not boring enough). How do I know this you ask???
England:
Good things
1) The people are friendly
2) They have good humour (often)
3) Good choice of food(Indian mmmmm)
4) They have lovely pubs
5) Loads of excellent castles and historical sights (which honestly fascinates me)
6) It's pretty and green
Bad things
1) The term: "Rough as hell" springs to mind
2) Stoopid football hooligans
3) Ugly towns
4) Bad greasy food
5) Chavs (white trash)
6) The decor in many of the houses - is truely crap.

well i guess there are different meenings of what "boring" is. :) God loves me. And you. :)
You're just not boring enough Katrine, but boring's not all it's cracked up to be. Keepit reel yo!
Honey valley:
What???
Sven: I like you. What's new in da hood? (Have no real understanding of what this actually means).
Well Katrine, I think "da hood" is merely an abbreviation of the well-known English phrase "The neighbourhood" (or neighborhood if you're american). African Americans often refer to their territories as "hoods", as in "Don'tchoo come near my hood, biatch, or I'ma bust a cap in yo ass". So "hood" must be a metaphor for "area of interest" or something.
"What's new" is probably a way of saying "Has anything interesting happened to you lately?".
Nothing's new... I'm going back to the army today, but in two weeks I'll get three weeks off!
Somehow, the Norwegian bad nr. 4 stands out from the rest in a weird, but honest way. I think it's awesome that young Norwegian, christian girls want to get married fast, but that I just because I am a young, Norwegian, christian guy who can't wait to have sex. But hey, can you blame me? But it's lame that marriage have to be synomynous with boring. I'm glad you and Jan Ole can prove the trend wrong. All hail Kat and JanOoooo!!!
Hey, Kay!
Just woke up after felling asleep talking to you earlier this evening. I never imagined you could become even more boring than you already were. No humour at all. Missing all the jokes, and constantly thinking that I'm joking when I'm not.
Tsk, tsk.

Jk: Hey don't beat around the bush or anything....tell me how you really feel. (Overwhelmed by your honesty). Yea - nr 4. I was feeling frustrated and bummed at the time. Still don't quite understand why some people want to be something they're not - it's soooo sad. Anyhoo.
Jazz head: zzzzzzzzz....Oh sorry - were you saying something? I just got sleepy halfway through your speech. Thanks for sharing your thoughts...they're fascinating. yawn.
Malin: Sorry - but now I'm jjst confused.
I flippin love the GASP made by our fabulous Scandanavian peeps. It's actually a habit i picked up while there, and still carry on to this day.(that and randomly screaming out the few phrases I learned to people who have NO idea what the heck it is I'm saying!) I have unfortunately forgotten a lot, but the gasp, the gasp is forever.
And I'm loving the comment by Sven. Excellent explanation of da hood. Which I grew up in ya know. I'm straight up gasta, yo.
