I still don't get it!!



I've lived here in Norway for 10 and 1 1/2 years now (if you count 83-84).


I'm half Norwegian and I've never celebrated an English Christmas.


I own a bunad and am familiar with the food fårikål.


But.....I still don't get....it........





Where does the term: "Sånn er det bare," come from?


Why do people use the word "morsomt", about plants and stuff? ("Det var en morsom plante"............WHY!! What's funny about a plant.?


How do people fail to understand that grøt is CLEARLY not from God?

Why do some people think that eating a jelly like substance with bits stuck in it - is a high quality meal? (Cabaret).

When will people understand that the word "fest" is supposed to be used as an adjective and not a prison sentance?

Halla på ræ!
Det går bra med meg...want to do something more this summer - go away somewhere, but I dunno if that will happen.
I'm going to UiO this fall - Universitetet i Oslo.

What about you? Are you working a lot at Uno?
