Norwegian 'souvenirs'

If you really have nothing better, I mean nothing better to do, you can see what are the Top 10 most selling Norwegian souvenirs here. Pure horror but what? This must reflect tourists' tastes, right? There's been a discussion on the media last week based on the general reflection that something has to be done to improve the style, the quality, the nature of what's been sold as "typical of Norway. Not to mention that the same "viking" items are sold as Swedish or Danish across both borders, just that the wording is changed. And that all this is manufactured in China.

I must say, though, that I love Barbie's dress on picture #4. Guess why? :)
