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.

Wow I really liked your blog. My hometown is very small and we have some places where people call the gehtto. But it really isn't we have places called the projects. But your town compared to mine is slot alike we have those who are rich and snobby and those who are poor. I would say ok poor. But my hometown is very small and everyone knows everyone. There is not much to do in town but you can ave alot of fun in thevwooda mud riding. On fourwheelers.

Hi Vilde,
You have a very informative blog post on your hometown. Since your town is actual rural, do you use vehicles more than those students in other larger cities?
We have a wide variety of socioeconomics within our town. Most of the 15000 people in Minden are middle class.
