Norway is a state at a crossroads, although given Norway’s common wonders and momentous wealth, it’s a spot in which most countries in the sphere would affection to discover themselves. norway is, by any standards, solitary of the most beautiful countries on earth, but that beauty brings with it a responsibility that weighs heavily upon Norwegians. After here is a people with an enduring attachment for the natural planet that is profoundly etched into the governmental character. In the past, this was expressed in the Norwegian tradition of isolated farmsteads that colonised the most secluded corners of the country’s wilderness. Increasingly, however, the irrevocable relocation of Norwegians towards the cities – cities that are themselves places of immense beauty, such as Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger and Tromsø – has altered the relationship between Norwegians and their natural world.

There’s a new upscale Downtown Porsche dealership under construction near Toronto’s tiny Distillery District. The sleek, 34,000-square-foot project is a steel-frame, glass and concrete structure, emerging at Front and Parliament across the street from the current dealership building.

Nice work if you can get it, but for general contractor Northway Construction Co. Ltd. of Concord, Ont., this happens to be the seventh notch in its high-end auto dealership portfolio since 2000.

They say you’ve truly settled in to a place when you start to be there in your dreams. I would go along with this to some extent though the subconscious can take us to many weird and wonderful places…

For me, a more realistic mark of one’s assimilation into a new place comes with the sudden realisation that whatever you are doing feels ‘normal’. When you switch to autopilot on the walk to uni, when you automatically say ‘takk’ in place of ‘thanks’ to the cashier, when you can walk through the town centre and greet several passers by…

Bergen, Norway – Diving trainees should read no further. “You can have tanks and lights,” said Ove Glenjen of Nemo Classic Diving, the diving centre at the marina in Grimstad, a suburb of Bergen on Norway’s fjord coast. “We don’t want to know what you do with them.”

Providing entertainment for tourist divers is not what Nemo does. It rents out and fills compressed-air tanks, offers diving courses, and has standard diving equipment along with just about everything a Norwegian frogman needs for leisure-time fun underwater: boats, scooters, cameras, helmets with intercom systems and harpoons.

Reindeer is synonymous with Sami culture and life but the Norsemen have certainly cottoned onto the goodness of reindeer cuisine. A dish that is an icon of Norwegian culture is finnbiff or reindeer stew. This rustic meal is perfect for cold Winter nights and packs you with energy for the next day of playing in the snow.

The dish has some unusual methods to create its earthy flavour. No onions or garlic are used (or needed) to enhance the flavour, nor any stock. The one-pot stew cooks fast and doesn’t need thickening.

To make finnbiff, Norwegians use thin reindeer shavings. This can be bought in the frozen food section of the supermarket all year round. You can also get fresh reindeer during the slaughter season in Autumn. Reindeer is also sold as roasts or dried/cured meat off the bone but not as steak. This is because game meat can get a little tough when cooked on a grill.
