In the USA, with over 320 million of people living across a vast land – and with diverse cultures and national opportunities – it might be easy to understand why they don’t know their geography very well. I mean, why travel? It’s “all here” and geography is too hard…!
Ever since I came to this country over 25 years ago, I do find it amusing that about 7 in 10 of the people I’ve met do not know much about Norway, and often confused with Sweden.
Sweden gets all the love and is recognized by a much better marketing “engine”, including brands like IKEA, Saab, Volvo, Abba and that Sweden maintained its policy of neutrality during World War II, loads of media and innovative promotions (call a swede).
Plus, of course, and the amazing tales and envy of the tall, blue-eyed, beautiful, blond women.
So…
When asked about Norway, it’s a mockery in a sentence, like “Jaaa, sure, you betch’a” (all with a sing-songy effect), and a reference to the Swedish culture of peace and happiness.
When you ask – “What / where is Norway?”, the answers are diverse, but mostly not right. So many will say: “…it’s the capitol of Sweden!”
Enjoy this video and learn about what Norway is, and what the people and the culture is all about.
P.S.
