MY HOMETOWN
Well, today we got the assignment to write something about our hometown on our blog. First of all, I don’t live in a town. I live about 20 minutes from Norway’s capital Oslo, in a remote place called Rykkinn. For those who haven’t been here think that there are only apartment buildings close together all over the place, and lots of criminality and foreign people. Well yes you could say so, but that would be an exaggeration because I find it a great (but as mentioned remote) place to live in. Rykkinn again lies in a county called Bærum. Bærum is known in Norway to be a place where the rich people live, and a lot of people call Rykkinn for Bærum’s ghetto. So when people ask me where I come from I really have a problem. If I say Rykkinn the ghetto and poor people thing always comes up, if I say Bærum people look at me as the biggest snob… so my answer is always “about 20 minutes outside Oslo”. It works great until someone wants me to be more specific.
But anyway: for those who haven’t been here, don’t be afraid. Not everyone are either dangerous or snobby.
