American Life in Norway
I was surprised at how much English is available at the airports and hotel. Almost everyone I spoke to at these two places spoke English, and every sign at the airports I went through today was translated into English. Every announcement was done in the native language and then English. But the buck stops there. The streets of Tromso are a totally different story — nothing in English, and no English speakers that I could hear as I walked around.
I have three English-language stations on my television. One of them is QVC. The other two are re-running old American TV shows. Only thing that beats McGyver with Norwegian subtitles? Southpark with Norwegian subtitles. LOL
