<div align="center"><font color="0000FF">Norway defies description. It is a country of exceptional beauty offering the most scenic treats one could possibly imagine. I got a taste of this amazing land in 1997 while visiting Oslo and some other places in Vestfold county from my base in Sandefjord. Having been captivated by Norway I started planning my return which eventually took place this summer. Me and my friends journeyed across the country for 22 days from Oslo in the south up to arctic Narvik. Were it not for the weather and the outrageously high prices, this country could be a paradise on earth.
This is where I breathed the freshest and cleanest air ever, this is where I saw the most pristine blue waters and the greenest fields. This is where I found the most punctual public transport, this is where I ate the most delicious fish and where I drank beer from the norhernmost brewery in the world. This is where you can find drinkable tapwater and clean toilets even in the remotest village. This is a country where Enlish is not official but still everyone speaks it. This is where you can leave your stuff unattended and walk empty streets at night without the fear of becoming a victim. This is the place where the sun never goes down in the summer and to be a bit personal this is where I already had two really memorable trips with my best friends, tihs is where I received a most hospitable welcome from my exchange-partner (Anna) back in 1997 and this is where I met a beautiful girl with whom I only spent a few days but still remember well.
