Ten Things I've Noticed About Norway

1. the toilet flush mechanism is on the top of the tank, not the side
2. there are no round doorknobs; they're all the lever-type
3. no top sheets on the bed; just bottom sheet and duvet-cover
4. babies are pushed around in prams, rather than strollers
5. the refrigerators are small; our refrigerator is normal sized to me and people comment on it's gigantic-ness
6. stores close at 6pm on Saturday and are closed on Sunday. Period.
7. commercials aimed at children are outlawed on Norwegian-based television stations (side note: most channels show commercials before and after the show/movie/news, not during)
8. squirrels are brown and have tufts of long fur on their ears and are rarely seen
9. they don't bag your groceries at the grocery store; it's a do-it-yourself kind of thing
10. sometimes there's moose trotting along the highway.
