Living in Norway

In this blogpost i will be elaborating how it is to live in Norway in comparison to china. This might be somewhat hard since I haven’t actually lived in china before, but I’ll at least try. China and Norway are two completely different countries in many ways, and maybe the most noticeable different is the amount of people living in the two countries. In Norway it live about 4,6 million people, while in China it lives about 1,3 billion!

The education system in Norway seems like it’s a lot more laid-back than the one in China, but we see that Chinese students score a lot better on international school tests. So it seems that even though Chinese students have to work harder, it will pay off later. The economy in the two countries is also very different. In China they mainly get their income from industry, while in Norway we get it from oil. The GDP (gross domestic product) is also much larger in China than in Norway, but since it’s so many people there, the GDP per person is a lot lower. The cultures are also very different, and just to be a bit stereotypical, all Norwegians like to go skiing during the winter and eat cabbage and lamb, while all Chinese know karate and eat about everything else. Although this is not true, the two cultures are also very different.

In conclusion, the two countries are very different, but that’s something we should be fascinated by, not scared or feel that it’s something we should just repel, but rather learn from. All in all I’m pretty happy about living in Norway, except when it’s too much snow, which it tend to be during wintertime, but there is a lot of other things to do during the winter.
