Wow.. I thought Norway's fame was due to pickled herring and tall, good looking blond women.. I'd forgotten all about the cheese and the fjords.
You're kidding, right? Grieg was a composer, and Jarlsberg is a cheese (US' most popular). Then you have Ibsen, Munch and Hamsun. Norway export enormous amounts of fish (mainly salmon and cod), oil and gas. The Nobel Peace Price is handed out there. The bands A-ha and Röyksopp. Inventions of the paper clip, cheese slicer, outboard boat-motor, aerosol can, skiing and television. The explorers Heyerdahl, Amundsen and Eriksson (discovery of America). Software Opera. Marilyn Monroe.
