Transcript of Norway
NORWAY
My name’s Guille, I’m a student who participate on the Comenius Project,
I’m sixteen and I’m from Vilassar de Mar, a town near Barcelona in Spain.
I could go to Norway on November 2010, to Bulgary on April 2011 or to Ireland on November
2011. From this three destinations I always would choose Norway because it’s the most far-
away country which means that the way of life, culture, weather, traditions… are totally different
than our country. Now I can say that I’ve already travelled, I went to Norway. I’ve been lucky.
When the bus arrived to Storslett, the first thing that I did, just after getting out the bus, was fall
down on that ice floor. My body
could quickly understood that the
weather was extremely cold than
ours. The Norwegian people
dresses like here in autumn, but
we were 6 degrees below zero, of
course they’re used to such a low
temperature.
During my stay in Norway there were many things that surprised me. Always when we arrived to
a house we had to took our shoes out and put there on the hall. Fortunately, thanks to the cold,
my feet did not smell!
I have been a football player since I was five
and I’ve never seen that kind of football. They
could play with the walls doing the ball bouncing
without been penalized as “ball out”. There are
the same number of female teams than male
teams, while in Vilassar de Mar we have two
female teams and the rest are all male teams.
For the Norwegian people, an usual evening activity is to go together to see this football
matches.
From my point of view only one think to emphasize of their school is that they have three grates
of high school instead of two we have in Spain. I agree with this system because you have more
time to learn and prepare your studies from high school.
I know I’m very special to eat, I was very scared of what I could find on the dish. Finally was
better than I expected. Although the reindeer meat and I were not good friends.
I would like to stress that the fame that the Norwegian people are not very friendly is completely
false. I think the Norwegian people are very friendly and they made me felt very comfortable.
They made me some jokes to help me to take out my shyness typical from the first time you
meet somebody. I really enjoy my time
with them.
Finally, I’m very grateful to have had this special opportunity and I will never forget this
wonderful week. Many thanks.
Oaidnaleapmài!
