I'm 100% Norwegian. Three generations removed and all continuous inbreeding of Norwegian of Minnesota and Iowa, so I traveled to Norway before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm Norwegian.
I lived in Norway and Texas when I was a kid.
My Norwegian family says, 'You're the most grounded American we've ever met.'
Sweden is the home of my ancestors, and I have reserved a special place in my heart for Sweden.
My wife is Danish and we go to Denmark a couple of times a year.
Norway was occupied by the Germans in the Second World War, and I've met a lot of people who had to live through that occupation in varying degrees.
Well, I have a Norwegian father who emigrated to America in the 1950s, and he still speaks with varying degrees of an accent. Over my lifetime my ear has been well-tuned to that accent. Any first generation kid has that wonderful gift from their parents.
My father was born in Denmark. He came to this country when he was 12 years old.
I'm from Norway, but I always felt like I'd grown up with British culture.
Whenever I travel anywhere, I'm constantly asked if I'm Swedish. It's the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.
