Norway is one of the nicest
places anyone can go, according
tO Lynda Vincent who recently
visited there on a Lions exchange
trip.
Linda was • here. for sli ghtly
over three 'weeks, spending the
first nine days at a camp near
Kvanskogen with other interna-
tional exchange young people.
"Everybody there spoke
English and ,we got along great,','„
she said. 'There were 35 kids arid
everyone got to know everyone
else."
The other young people- were
from Finland, Turkey, Sweden,
Israel, Switzerland, England,
France a..- Belgium, but 'Linda
was the only one from North
America.
"Everybody asked me why
wasn't 1 at Montreal at the
Olympics. They made it sound as

Seaforth," she said.
While at the camp Lynda was
kept busy touring the countryside
and even went cod fishing. She
caught two. The main highlight

Ndrway's second largest city.
Adjusting to Norwegian family
life wasn't too difficult Lyzda
said, but not knowing the
language bothered her at times.
"They would 'always say that
this isn't polite, but we can speak
Norwegian better than we can
English' and then they talk in
orwegian. You would agvays
wonder what they were saying
and 1.yhether they were talking
about you or not," she said. "But
if something important came on
the television or was in the paper,
they would translate it for me."
Family life in Norway is much
the same as in Canada except for
eating habits, said Lynda.
"At camp • we had cream
