Malta or Norway
Two options for next spring. Silena, Malta or Lillehammer, Norway. I'd be attending the Universities in these areas and living in a flat with 5 other people. Any experts on these areas have any suggestions?

Re: Malta or Norway
I'll add some information I suppose.
On Norway trip we'd also travel to a fishing village on North Sea, Stockholm, Wittenburg, and St Petersberg. On Malta trip we'd travel to Rome, Greece, and Istanbul. Anyone know anything about Norwegian or Maltan food?

It's a beautiful place, but it definitely has the worst food I've ever eaten under any circumstances, high school cafeteria included. I'm pretty sure a couple of Norwegians post here though and should be better able to advise you... but IMO the food is naaaasty.

Re: Malta or Norway
Wrt to food, I think of all countries I have been too (and its a lot) Norway ranks third lowest (above Belarus and Russia). It is tragic compared to many countries, especially in a place like Lillehammer. In Oslo the selection is better than in many other countries and there restaurants are also very good but the rest of the country basically sucks, it is not only lack of variation but the quality of much of the ingredients is also bad (we have a protected agricultural sector in a country where the climate is not good for agriculture, go figure [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

Granted they like to use dill (which I hate), but two of my best meals EVER were there- one in Bergen, one in Stavanger. Reindeer is some tasty meat. When I visited briefly, the people were really cool. Try to say something in Norwegian and they'll switch to English, but they'll be happy you showed some respect. The reputation is supposedly that they're not as friendly, but that's just an appearance. Once you get them talking and show a little interest, they warm up fast. And the women . . . good freaking god are they hot.

Both would be very fascinating, I assume, however second option seems like the biggest experience for an American (I assume you are).
