I spent two weeks in Fredrikstad in February 2004. My ex-boyfriend is Norwegian and that is his hometown. I was there with him for a couple weeks after his mother died.
I just love Norway. In my mind, there's something magial about that place that makes it unreal. It was snowy and cold when I was there, but we still got outside every day. Cross-country skiing, snow-ball fighting, and playing soccer. I also went to my first hockey game in Fredrikstad (I don't know how to spell it, but "Go Starjnen!")
I want to live in Norway, but I want to live many places. Someday I will go back.
