Hi Julien,

Great question. I'm going to go with:

2. High income and a high standard of living
2. It's a society concerned with equality and fairness
3. Low crime rate
4. Low unemployment
5. Spectacular landscape

Best things about living in Norway:

1. Great scenery (Western Norway, Northern Norway)
2. Oslo is semi-multicultural with Pakistanis,Swedes,Vietnamese etc
3. Increasing number of foreign inspired cafes selling international food, great coffees etc
4. The Tram - yes I love Oslo tram, the blue coloured ones, the older the better!
5. The Norwegian accent is posh
6. Great salaries
7. Free universities
8. The houses made of wood and painted in blue, yellow, white etc
