Either it's a laptop or a mobilephone, I seem to stuff my life inside these four walls. This box will be my treasurebox.
A box full of memories I want to keep.

Something new #1 - Petits Filous

Ok, I made myself a challange. To try out something new everyday. Today it was Petits Filous with fruit layers. HORRIBLE! I cannot believe it's Charlotte's favourite! Haha! Sorry sug. And I understand why Abi wanted to trow up after eating six of them. I did not manage one.

Decision making

REMEMBER: God's love is not conditional on your decision. 
Whatever happends, God will be there loving you in it!

United Kingdom vs The Norwegian Kingdom #2

Transportsystem
vs.
The transport system in the UK are quite good, if you are in England. Do you cross the border to Wales it's not that good. Despite the fact that the buses are seldom at time and the trains often are delayed, you can get quickly from one place to another. When it comes to cars, they can drive faster than 80 or 90 km/h. Is it 120 or something? I cannot remember. If I overlook Wales, Scotland and North Ireland, then England is a great place for transport. 
In Norway, it takes a lot of time from one place to another, ecpesially when you live in the north west. Wales is also west in the UK so it's just fair that I take away the horrible transport system in the west in both countries. 
Even if I do so, England comes best out. Trains going quickly and often, however, you can get the train in Norway a lot cheaper if you order in advance. Weird? Yes. The UK also have more people, so they need a good transportsystem, therefore the UK wins in this comparison.

Win: UK


Landscaping
vs.
Here is there not much to say. The UK has good landscaping at some places, but not everywhere you go. They have parks they can go to see the beauty in their country, like the Peak District, parts of Wales or the Lake district. BUT - Norway is amazing. Nothing can beat Norway in landscaping. Sorry. Everywhere you go in Norway you're stunned about the surroundings. 


Win: Norway

United Kingdom vs The Norwegian Kingdom #1

Food:
                          vs.
Norwegian breakfast vs English breakfast

I must say I enjoy the Norwegian breakfast more. I have more energy, I feel healthy and it does not feel like a dinner. The English breakfast is too sweet, and in some cases it is more like dinner. I feel like an elephant!

Win: Norway

University
vs. 
Keele University vs. University of Bergen.
This is a difficult one. I like the way we can just sign up for modules online in Norway and get it approved or not. In Keele I had to go to each teacher, then I had to hand in the paper to my tutor, sign it, then he had to signt it and hand it in to an office before I got it back again. C-O-M-P-L-I-C-A-T-E-D!
BUT... Keele is much better in dividing schoolwork through the semester. In Bergen I had one essay which did not count on my grade and one exam that counts 100%. This is really hopeless if you have one bad day or if exams is not your strongest side. Keele on the other hand, have several essays during the semester and they normally count between 30-60% of your mark. 

Win: United Kingdom
