Congratulations and BRAVO, Norway!
that's fantastic. do you feel especially proud to be norwegian?
since i was complaining about oslo being so hot.... my karmic punishment was to return to 98 degree heat in the states.
Yes, bravo Norway!:-) Do I feel espescially proud to be Norwegian? Not really - it's about time they did this! Spain, a deeply Catholic country beat us to it. That is more impressive, I think!
Hurray for Norway!! That's so great.
