Yes. I live in Middle Earth. That's why Norway's cold weather appeals to me, very similar to NZ.
I think the girls told me that their flight took them 15+ hours? Our University (Waikato) has like an exchange program with the University of Bergen therefore we get plenty of Norwegian people bracing our shores. I learnt a few things about your people....
1) Norwegians really loved to play football and took pleasure in owning us every Sunday. Every one of ya plays like Morten Gamst Pedersen.
2) You guys are remarkably youthful looking, Marte told me it's because the cold weather freezes their faces preserving youth lol.
3) You guys can DRINK us under the table. For a country (NZ) that prides itself for it's alcoholism..... the girls we're able to best us all the time. lol
I don't even... Sure seems like fun facts though xD Where in "middle earth" are you situated? I spent my time in Auckland + plus a two week round trip north-south (never been on the south island though!)
Oh, and bergen has a pretty big airport.. I had to take 12 hours of train just to reach my capital Oslo xD then I went to Vienna-kuala lumpur-Sydney-Auckland
