Good read. I am a (former) Norwegian from Gjovik until the age of 11.5 and I simply loved living there as there was so much to do. I did not want to leave as my extended family are there. I would love to go back there to live, but I don’t know if I could cope even though I can speak the language and love the winters. I am over the moon that from next year, I should be able to become a dual citizen which is very important to me. You may even know some of my cousins, Jasmine.

Hi Aschele,

Glad the description sounds wonderful, it’s also pretty amazing in real life. 🙂 The east is often overlooked because of the heavy promotion of the west coast and the fjords. Most people know Oslo, and some like to think it’s the centre of the universe, but actually those in the know, know the centre of the universe is in Oppland and Hedmark. 😉

Greetings, Jasmin

We visited there in 1986 I think – and got to see many relatives. One day the relatives gathered (42 of them), we ate all day, they hired a photographer, and flew the flag). Great memories!
