Moods of Norway

I recieved a lovely blue sweater from Kristian and Merete for Christmas (which I absolutely love) from a store called "Moods of Norway".  I had seen it before and all the exchange students were talking about it when we first arrived at language camp.  We thought it was some sort of tractor race haha.  (Most of the pictures on the clothes are of tractors.)  It is a quite different style of clothing, but quite interesting!  Here's the "story" from the tag of the sweater (I typed it exactly as written - the grammar and spelling mistakes are not mine):

"moods of norway

"clothes inspired by urban norwegian everyday living

"With it's 4,5 million inhabitants, 385 639 sq. miles, and a resistance against continental drift, Norway is a land of great diversity.  Whether it's due to the hilarious infinite access of oil or that the county itself is being as far stretched as the last gin-tonic at 5 AM in the morning, there is no doubt in the presence of some genuine Norwegian moods.  Being in a cocktail mood, Norwegians put themselves along with their behavior patterns in a small box and ship it to Denmark.  But if yhe streets are to moody, the average Norwegian farmer tends to enjoys a casual bottle of traditional family moonshine.  Chilled of course, by the ice from a glaciers trouble with heavy rain and German tourists.  So, whether it is the fjords as deep as the prime minister's pockets on election day, or the colony of Laplanders which eats anything as long as it is reindeer: if Norway was a person, it would be, without a dpoubt,a strange fish indeed."

I thought that it was quite funny and interesting so that's why I'm sharing it with you.  It hilariously says a lot about the culture (and Norwegian accents!) in only a few words.  I hope you enjoyed it!

Random note: fell on the ice yesterday.  Nothing bad (little bruises), but just wanted to share that it took me FIVE MONTHS to fall on the ice in Norway.  Take THAT! xD
