My hometown

Dear students in Louisiana,

I'm from a place called Høvik, just outside Oslo. I've lived here my whole life and I'm enjoying myself here:) Høvik is located in Bærum municipality. Nearest city is Sandvika, a rather small city, which is also where I go to school. Next to my school is Norway’s biggest shopping center where I usually go shopping if I don’t go shopping in Oslo.

If you like swimming, jumping off cliffs and so on there’s plenty of alternatives here for you. I personally LOVE the summer. Norwegian summer is not nearly among the warmest ones, about 25 degrees Celsius, but I think it’s a nice temperature. If you are more of a winter-lover then Norway is more than perfect for you! We get lots of snow during the winter and therefore we have several different ski slopes for you.

I also have a cottage further south in Norway, in Nissedal. This is a beautiful place. And for me –who loves the summer it’s perfect:D! It’s a very quiet and small place, so if you want to have an entire beach for yourself this is the place to be! The photo below is the view from our yard.

Hey Karianne,

I love the picture taken from your cottage. It is beautiful there. Some people around here have lake houses on lake Bisteneau or Claiborne. It is mostly for fishing, swimming, and hanging out.

My students will be commenting soon!

Hi Karianne,

The picture from your cottage is a beautiful photo.I wish I had a view like that from my house. The weather sounds very nice over there. We don't have snow like that here. Other than shopping, what do you do for fun?
