Elisabeth Dohna, Germany<br />

The most shocking thing for me here in Norway is that Norwegians are very closed off and it’s<br />

really hard to get to know them. That was very shocking to me because when you look at Norway<br />

from the outside you think it’s such an open country but when you get to know the people it’s<br />

really hard to get to know Norwegians.<br />

Adrian Neff, Liechtenstein<br />

Probably the most shocking thing for me was that we actually had some beach days here in Norway!<br />

I wasn’t expecting to go swimming in the sea several times and also in the mountain lakes. And they<br />

are actually not that cold because there’s no snow water in them!<br />

Chiara Bertucci, France<br />

The most shocking thing that has happened to me since I have been in Norway is that a Norwegian<br />

guy knew my friends and I for only 5 minutes (we met at a karaoke bar) he invited us all to his<br />

house. I can’t say that this is a general characteristic of Norway as it happened only once, but I<br />

think it is linked to the «trusty» side of Norwegians, which I really appreciate.<br />

Julia Kolanek, Poland<br />

I think the most shocking thing is that there’s nature everywhere and even in the middle of the city.<br />

In Poland I talked about it with my friends and I said “My city is so green, we have parks and trees<br />

and grass everywhere” but that’s nothing compared to Kristiansand, where I go to the class I see<br />

huge rocks out the window and find pretty views everywhere I go.<br />

Francesca Harrison, UK<br />

I think the most shocking thing about Norway has been how closed everything is on a Sunday, it‘s<br />

completely a hiking/relaxing day for the Norwegians which is really lovely. We don‘t have that in<br />

the UK anymore and although it‘s been hard to get used to I think it‘s a really nice thing.<br />

Honza Hartman, Czech Republic<br />

The most shocking thing to me is that there are things that are free when you go into nature. For<br />

example, you can go hiking and get free accommodation in the mountains, for example, a cabin<br />

where everything looks very nice. In my country, someone would probably steal, so I think this is<br />

a big difference from my country.<br />
