Lesson 1: How to recognise a Norwegian

        

 

Norwegians may come in many sizes and colours. And they do not wear their national costumes all the time (even though it may seem so from they pictures).

There are many blonde and blue-eyed Norwegians, but you can find swedes looking like that as well.

The brunettes or redheads are just as nice.

 

    
 

 

If you are looking for norwegians in warmer countries like Spain or on Mallorca or Tenerife, just try to find the most drunk one or the one complaining loudest about the food. It is also possible to look for the most sunburnt one, but then there is a risk for that it may be someone British.

 

 There are also lots of Americans with Norwegian ancestors, espcially in North Dakota and Minnesota. This is because of all of the Norwegians looking for land and gold and happiness and so they went to America, found it, and settled there.
