I am a Norwegian

(That is a Viking for those who thought I just meant to say I was Norwegian. Not that I didn`t think you were clever enough to understand it though)

Also our girls are just as nice as the ones from Sweden. At least almost as nice..........

However Sweden has been kind to us, and asked quite a few blondes to settle down here in Norway. Thank you, we appreciate it.

TCM:

Do you have family here in Denmark, if yes, from where?

It´s a small world

All the best,
