HOW TO SURVIVE A NORWEGIAN WINTER
As a French national moving here six years ago, I expected Norwegian winters to be cold. The toughest part, however, is the darkness. »Where is the sun?«ƒ I wondered from October to March. Countries like Norway, which are so close to or even north of the Arctic circle, have very little sunlight in the winter. Sadly, I am not a bear, and my boss did not allow me to hibernate during my first winter in Norway. So I had to find ways to survive this dark winter and the seasonal depression creeping in on me. The lack of sunlight made me feel sleepy, sad, and slightly depressed. But do not be scared; people have been living in these regions for generations and they manage just fine. Here are a few insider tips on how to survive and even enjoy a winter in the North.
