Every semester, new exchange students arrive to campus and<br />
Norway for the first time. After they have settled in, we wonder<br />
what their first impressions were. We have asked ten people from<br />
different countries to look at Norway through their unique lens.<br />
Carl Feese, USA<br />
Everything in the grocery store, it feels like I don’t recognize any brands! It’s a small thing, but I<br />
don’t recognize what mayonnaise is! Why is it in a box? I don’t know! Everything is just slightly<br />
different in the grocery store and I can‘t ever recognize things.<br />
Davide Vultaggio, Italy<br />
I guess for me one of the most shocking things in Norway is the fact that they have dinner very<br />
early, like at 5 p.m.<br />
Joaquin Iannuzzi, Argentina<br />
I like that there’s a lot of mountains, forests and lakes and that you can go mountain biking on the<br />
trails. Everywhere you go more trails keep appearing!<br />
Junjie Sun, Spain<br />
I think the most shocking thing compared to my country is the safety. At my work, I can just put<br />
my phone on a table and nobody will take it and in Spain you can’t do that.<br />
