I smell shite <| sep |> I ' m sure you ' ve heard the stories of the Scream having been stolen several times before , right ? Maybe if you ' re ever in Norway again you should steal a Scream of your very own , and then you won ' t have to worry about museum opening hours . It ' s totally right about the bringing your own food thing . There ' s even kind of a stereotype about German tourists coming up in caravans and stealing all of our moose crossing signs and not even giving back to the economy because they bring their own food . I can seriously understand why . It ' s not bad if you live there and earn Norwegian wages , but even compared to Iceland , which is definitely not cheap , Norway is ridiculous . Though if you do get the chance , I ' d recommend visiting the northern part . It ' s very different . Norway is as long from Kirkenes in the north to Oslo as from Oslo to Rome , so you definitely get a lot of geographical and cultural variety . My family is from Mre og Romsdal in the northern part of western Norway . It ' s quite nice aesthetically , but the neighbouring county , Sogn og Fjordane , is nicer just don ' t tell my dad I said that . For a real smack in the face with the glory of creation , try Lofoten . It ' s getting quite touristy these days , but not so much as Iceland because fewer people can afford it . Really beautiful . It ' s not for everyone , but I ' d even suggest Svalbard for the novelty if you ' re willing to put up with the trouble of getting there . It ' s very much the edge of the world in every sense of the word . And if Trump really has his way with America , keep in mind that you don ' t need a special visa or permit to live and work on Svalbard !
