Norge, how I love thee...

Norway.

it has increasingly rise an interest and love in my heart.

 *Bergen, Norway*

I'm quite fond of Scandinavian countries, just the way people carry themselves, much more civilized than most Latin countries. of course you are in your full right to disagree with me, but I live in a Latin country... and most of the times I get flat out shocked on how people living here behave in public spaces, and even to one another.

I know my country has beautiful architecture, landscapes and historical spots that are a must see.

but unfortunately it's the people that make my heart sad. :(

every place has its flaws, and Norway is bound to have a few as well... but you can feel when you belong somewhere. and I always knew... I belong somewhere else.

the grass is always green on the other side of the fence, they say.

I have had that experience when I visited England for the first time in my life, and I was smitten by it right away. I really thought my life path had been setting me up to go work and live out the rest of my days in that wonderful gloomy land.

 but fate thought otherwise by entwining my path with a very interesting young man, with family in Norway.

after that I realised we would both be happier living our life there, as true citizens.

life is made of choices.

I love my spouse and this was a choice I made alone, and now I am excitedly working towards that goal.

England will have a major roll in my life forever.

as I know Scotland will also have the moment I'll be able to visit it.

 now we have discovered that the Erasmus program of mobility will still be active in the next school year, and our first thought was immediately "we need to go to Norway!"

If everything goes according to plan, it will be our next university year, the 3rd and last.

this will open a wider door for the possibility of us staying there after graduation. we will know the places and on goings of the culture and we will have roughly 1 year counting towards our citizenship.

*Happy Yule*
