Sunshine...Is that what Norway is known as, "land of the midnight sun"? It's an interesting description! Can you tell us some things about Norway? Anything would be interesting!:)

Welcome Sunshine, we are getting a lot of foreign fans, it's wonderful!

I love the saying "the land of the midnight sun"...my kind of place.

And who's this "northwestern" you mention? ;) ;) ;) ;)

norway is known as the land of the midnight sun,the northern parts of norway have the midnight sun for as much as 3 months.i live five houres from the border to russia ond two from the border to finland and we have the midnight sun from the middle of may to the middle of august.in this part of norway many make their living from fishing,mostly cod and king crab.ther are a few farmers and the rest have work connected to oil. it's not easy to describe this countrey,you should go on net and find pictures of norway. then you would see what i meen

Thanks Sunshine, I think I will certainly do a little research on Norway. No wonder there's so many fishermen with norwegian descent who end up fishing in Alaska!! The cold and overcast weather must be in their blood! So, do you fish, farm, or work in oil?

no,i work with elderly people.my dad have been a fisherman for many years and i have lost two of my uncles to the sea:)

Velcommen, Sunshine. I'm not sure that's spelled right, but I only know "bad words" in other languages. Well, I do know a few of the better ones in Norske. Are you from the more Northern or Southern area of Norway? It is a grand dream of mine to visit Norway some day. I only have four major trips I'd like to make: Norway, Australia, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. I'd throw Bermuda in if I have time and I'm not to old to toddle around the Island! Welcome to the board!

I thought that was the nickname for Alaska, man, you learn something new every day.

Sounds like a normal NJ winter!
