.80 and the traditional shaped ones are from kr.80 and up. You will often see people on standing wooden sleds but these are more expensive (about kr.1500) as they are a bona fide means of transport in Norway – like a winter bike.
You can find sledding hills in every town in Norway. Just look for parks or walking tracks near forests or recreational parks. On Tromsø island the best sledding track is where all the walking tracks meet in the middle of the hill – a little up from Prestvannet lake – Charlottenlund. But really, if you find a compacted snow hill (you’ll sink in fluffy snow) then you can whip out your plastic board and go sleding.
A buttsled; love that! This looks like such fun. It reminds me of childhood days when I lived in a seasonal place. Now I live in Arizona where it’s warm all year round. I kind of miss times like these though.
We once took an old sled down an old rickety wooden ski jump in Alta.
Good times.
Hi! I’m a 14 soon to be 15 year old girl who lives in Norway. After this summer my family will live in Townsville Australia for a few months and I wondered if you could explain the school system there and what kind of school has the best kind of education and what class and such I will go to? n-n Thank you on beforehand (oops directly translated from norwegian 😛 )

Hi Katja
Townsville is a small country town up the coast in Queensland. The beaches are great there. Most schools are public. Primary school is from grade 1-7 and High school includes grades 8-12. In grade 10 you complete your junior certificate and in grade 12 you complete your senior certificate. Public schools (or State schools) are basically free and are mixed (girls and boys). Private schools cost a lot of money and usually are only for just boys or just girls (some are co-ed). At school you are required to wear a school uniform every day. You will likely have to wear a hat too whenever you are outside in the playground to protect you from the sun. School hours are from about 8:30-9:00 to 15:00-15:30. You get two breaks during the day – recess and lunch. You will likely have to take 5 core subjects: maths, english, science, humanities, and physical education – the rest will be electives and these depend on what sort of school you go to (some are arts schools and some are sports schools etc). However, there is not much selection in Townsville and you will likely have to go to your nearest school.
Here is a link to a State school:

This is the best site about Norway I could ever have found.
Keep up the good work
Thank You 🙂 this was actually really helpful ^-^
To find more hills you can check out TobogganHills.com and also add the above local hills if they are not listed on the map, for others to locate and enjoy as well. 🙂Does Vegas set the lines correctly?
Some people question how the betting lines could be skewed, but Vegas has to make money.
We often get on Las Vegas because of the betting Lines they choose because they make it very hard for us to place bets at certain values. You may not have realized that a betting line in Vegas is impacted by who is playing at home, and you must remember that Vegas is trying to make as much Money as possible. They are trying to make it so that they can have the advantage, and that is why we have things like half point spreads and a three point advantage when you play at home. The lines are all messed up because Vegas is as confused we are. We saw things that we never thought we would see last week, and it is scary to think about what could happen this week.
We make predictions in the sports media based on lines that we find at the time that we make our predictions. If Tom Brady broke his leg crossing the street tomorrow, the line on the Patriots would change. That is reality. However, most changes have to do with tiny things like the injury report, a guy who has a weird tweet he sends out, or something that is equally small. Players do get hurt in practice, but that is not as common as the line changing because the money is changing.
If I am a devoted fan of a team that is not very good, I cannot change the line on a game by placing a bet on a team that is not going to win. However, there are some times when the lines have to change because all the money goes to one team or another.
You must watch the betting lines when you realize that people are betting only on one team because the odds will start to go down. That is much harder for you to predict because you have to check the lines every day, and you may need to read something online that tells you where all the action is.
Betting on sports is harder than you think because the teams can have a performance that you did not expect.
A lot of people could have lost money last week because the NFL did not perform as we expected. The Patriots probably lost a lot of people money, and there are little things that cause teams to not cover the spread that, in turn, lose people money. Betting on sports means that you want a team to lose by a certain amount, and you could be sitting by your TV all day hoping that a certain team has a particular performance that you thought they would have.
Anything less could be very hard on you, and you could lose a lot of money if you make poor choices.
Watch the lines carefully because Vegas has the advantage and the NFL is unpredictable.
Watch my video above for 5 potential reasons why your ex is taking so long to come back to you after they broke up with you.
They are more of the common reasons that I have seen in my two decades of relationship coaching.
This is assuming that you are using the no contact rule and are wondering what is taking so long with your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend and if things are going well or not on their side.
This post has insightful textual content that I suggest you read carefully but be sure to watch the video above all the way through so that you have a solid understanding about what is going on and what to expect in the near future in terms of your ex.
Both reading and watching the video above is how you help yourself the most.
There are several potential reasons your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend hasn’t come back to you yet and just because they haven’t yet doesn’t mean that they won’t at all.
Here are some of the most likely reasons that your ex hasn’t come back to you yet while you are using the No Contact Rule.
Reasons Your Ex Is Taking So Long To Reach Out and Come Back
1: The Breakup Was Difficult
My intention is not to get onto you and I’m not going to lecture you about how important it is to give your ex the breakup that they think they want.
You’ve probably already heard or read me discussing that.
If you begged for a long period of time or wouldn’t stop contacting your ex after the breakup, that can at least give you a clue as to why it’s taking so long for your ex to come back.
Most people react “poorly” to the initiation of a breakup.
Pushback to the breakup is not entirely a bad thing and can often be a good thing – what is bad is more the prolonged objection to the breakup and the persistent contacting of your ex.
Such a response erodes your chances of your ex coming back.
Hopefully, this only delayed a reunion.
If you stopped soon enough and went into no contact, the odds are often there for that to be the case.
The good news is that if you did react poorly to the breakup – and most people do – that going into no contact is such an extreme change that it can have an erasing type of impact of a bad response.
It also creates mystery because your ex wonders if you changed your mind and aren’t wanting him/her back anymore.
2: It Took Your Ex A Long Time To Reach The Conclusion of Breaking Up With You
Most breakups didn’t just happen overnight.
Your ex, almost certainly, didn’t just wake up one day and decide he/she wanted to break up with you.
It was weeks, months, or even years of doubting, feeling attraction fade, and fighting against the ominous conclusion of ending the relationship.
Depending on how long it took your ex and how long it felt to them, this could be impacting how long it takes them to eventually come back.
Why?
Because your ex remembers going back and forth.
They remember giving it one more weekend, one more night, one more trip, and another talking to.
Since it took them a while to come to the conclusion to break up with you, your ex likely is having difficulty trusting themselves.
And if you combine this reason with the first one I mentioned (a difficult breakup), then your ex is also thinking that before they risk being wrong and having to go through another difficult breakup, that they are going to be certain before taking action to come back to you.
That does NOT mean they aren’t reflecting, considering, and hurting.
I know that it’s extremely frustrating to say the least, but it’s a likely possibility that you need to be aware of and remember.
3: Your Ex Thinks You Hate Them
Somewhere around 25-
