Doorway to Norway Scenery

O

ver the 2013 summer you should cosider taking a vacation to the breath taking land of Norway.

Norway is gorgeous all away around. They have beautiful lakes you can swim, fish, or do alot more water activities in. They also have the highest and most challenging mountains you can ask for. If you want a challenge go out one early morning pack a lunch and just take a long up hill hike. After your long hike hop in the water and cool off. On your walk you will see a variety of animals grey seals to wild boar. After your hike and swim head on home and enjoy laying in your backyard in your hammock. Enjoy your backyard view and drink a cold glas of water and wake up and do it the next day. Its something you can get used to so peaceful and calm. Next time you might even wanna bring a friend.

Norwegians

N

orwegian: nordmenn) constitute both a nation and an ethnic group native to Norway.

They share a common culture and speak the Norwegian language. Norwegian people and their descendants are found in migrant communities worldwide, notably in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil. As with many of the people from European countries, Norwegians are spread throughout the world. There are more than 100,000 Norwegian citizens living abroad permanently,

Weather

n the summer the weather in Norway is fantastic. In June,July and August it is always usually in the high 60’s. Thats perfect! It is hot enough so you can tan and swim but not so hot that you have to stay in cool water all day. If you go earlier in the year like January and Febuary it is usually in the mid 30’s. You dont wanna have to deal with the snow and ice. It snows all the time, Norway is located in northern Europe and the northernmost part of Norway is above the Arctic circle.

So eaither way if you love bringing out the snow cats or if you love swimming pick the right month and head on out to Norway.

As they made it too xfactor boot camp, they were soon told they weren’t going through to next level. Simon, X-factor judge, however did not want to see such amazing talent go to waste, and formed these five boys into a group, also known as One Direction.

by Simon Cowell, the X-Factor shows were a blast. Sadly, they placed 3rd place on the show.

Their jounrey didn’t end there, however!

In 2011, the formation of the band was complete and their first record deal took place. Released in September 2011 their first album Up All Night soon became an international breakthrough. They had their first tour, aswell. In 2012 their next album, Take Me Home was created as well as their next tour.
