    My father in law telling me that Norwegian has two written standards. I had a bachelor’s in Nordic languages, history and culture and was at the time doing a master degree in Norwegian linguistics, and was also of course fluent in Norwegian.

    A colleague reacting to me talking about how to care for an Ikea duvet (filled with down) which was having problems with: “And a foreigner is telling me this.” She seriously believed only Norway or the Nordic countries had down filled duvets.

Make absolutely sure that you opt for the easy version – even that one often requires compass skills, 1.500 meters of heights and most likely a night in a sleeping bag? Tough neighbors we have there!
