Without further ado, let's get started.
- 00:22 - 00:26
Norway is made up of various tall mountains and about
- 00:27 - 00:29
50,000 islands that lay on the country's coastline.
- 00:30 - 00:32
However, a large portion of people live in big cities
- 00:33 - 00:34
such as Oslo, the country's capital.
- 00:35 - 00:36
Did you know that?
- 00:36 - 00:39
About half of the population actually live in Oslo.
- 00:41 - 00:43
The remaining percentage of the population usually live in other
- 00:44 - 00:45
big cities or in villages.
- 00:47 - 00:49
One of Norway's many villages is hanoi.
- 00:50 - 00:51
As you can see here in the picture.
- 00:53 - 00:56
Hanoi is located in one of Norway's many islands and
- 00:56 - 01:00
it is most famous for its beautiful landscape, nice weather
- 01:00 - 01:01
and the Northern Lights.
- 01:02 - 01:06
Did you know that the Northern Lights, also known as
- 01:06 - 01:10
aurora borealis is best seen are best seen between the
- 01:11 - 01:11
months of december and March.
- 01:13 - 01:15
Although you can still see the lights as early as
- 01:15 - 01:20
august now moving on to Norway in general, Norway is
- 01:20 - 01:23
located in northern europe, next to Sweden and Finland on
- 01:23 - 01:25
the east and it faces the north atlantic ocean on
- 01:26 - 01:26
the west.
- 01:27 - 01:32
The country has an area of 148,729 miles squared, which
- 01:32 - 01:35
may seem huge at first, but it's actually smaller than
- 01:35 - 01:39
other places like California and even texas With a population
- 01:40 - 01:42
of 5.3-8 million.
- 01:42 - 01:46
As of 2019, Norway is classified as the world's sixth
- 01:47 - 01:47
richest country.
- 01:48 - 01:53
Most of its income comes from mining, fishing, oil exploitation,
- 01:53 - 01:56
gas production and etcetera.

Together with Sweden, the two countries make the top 20

- 02:12 - 02:19
billion in 2021 later this year, something that Norway is
- 02:19 - 02:20
very famous for its Vikings.
- 02:21 - 02:24
Did you know that Vikings invented tweezers and combs?
- 02:26 - 02:30
Many people assume that Vikings are are very barbarian people,
- 02:31 - 02:34
but they actually took pride in their appearance and their
- 02:34 - 02:37
hygiene. That's all for today.
