We choose Norway because is something out of the normal: a mountain place that is cold almost eleven months on twelve, with a breathtaking landscape, but that sometimes can appear probably sad and dull. Food, drinks, culture, mores, climate and the economic situation make Norway very different from our Italy, and is really good admiring and knowing cultural aspects which are a bit far from ours.
Me, Giulia, I went to Norway on July 2013 and I find it a place so much particular and special, very simple but its memory never fades away. In particular the landscapes and the fjords left me shocked and breathless and, still today, I can remember its smallest details.]]> 2017-03-03 20:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/brendyasny/Norway/wish/157734959 Who are we? brendyasny https://padlet.com/brendyasny/Norway/wish/157737788 Grasso Giulia
