gillyloves69: what makes norway so special then oslojente ?
tell us about your country !..the best country in the world !
Well, I'm not Oslojente, but.... 1) you live on a mountain.... or actually wherever mother nature has permitted you to stick your little house on the slope of the mountain 2) if you look down - there are mountains beneath you 3) if you look up - there are mountains above you 4) you get in the car, drive up the highest mountain, park the car, let the dogs out and walk up with them to the very top - only to turn around and see still a higher mountain looming above you 5) if you don't have chains wrapped around your tires - forget about driving anywhere in the winter (OK, this is a little bit exaggerated, but I do admire Norwegian drivers... I couldn't do that!) 6) if there is a town square, one side of it will always be higher than the other side because, of course, it's on the slope of a mountain...
I'm sure it's a lovely country, but after a month there I was sooooo happy to get back to my country (listed somewhere between 20 and 153 on this list).... I was sure glad to be able to walk on just plain normal level ground...

Where did you go in Norway? Oslo is not as hilly, but I see what you're saying..

OMG!!!!!!! I was just on the 22nd floor of my hotel and that was bad enough!!!!!!!!!
Oslojente, (what does your nickname mean?) I was I'd guess quite near Oslo, not far from Drammen/Lier... And they did tell me "these aren't even the real mountains, you ain't seen nothin yet...."

No, they were right, around here it's rather flat...
