“Spanish people eat tapas and octopus, they have siesta, and the boys are suuupercute..”

At Stangnes videregående skole we put forward this question to our students:

What do you know about Spain, Catalonia, and Spanish / Catalan people?

Here is a selection of our answers:

1. They love ham and they have a good football player.

2. At least where I have been in Spain, the inhabitants have taken a siesta in the middle of the day. Then all the shops have been closed for an hour, or so…   Spain has quite a warm climate, with bright sun and a hot enough climate to grow palm trees.  As far as the food, I know that the Spanish people are well known, in particular for their famous Tapas.

Norway is a cold country. In winter they only have two or three hours of sunshine and they can see northern lights...

At Massana we have asked to our students:

What do you know about Norway and Norwegian people?

Here is a selection of their answers:

     
     Norway is a cold country. In winter they have got only two or three hours of sunshine, and they can see northern lights; in summer they have got the midnight sun. There are a lot of Natural Parks, so the Norwegian live surrounded by nature.

 Norwegians eat salmon, wale and cod. They eat a lot for breakfast and for an early dinner, but not at lunch time. Before going to bed they drink a glass of milk with cereals or biscuits. They don’t have olive oil, so they cook with butter. Norwegian drink beer and other alcoholic drinks and eat food rich in carbohydrates to loosen up. They don’t often go outside at nights.
