Damn! Now I've really seen it all...
 ANdy Camel farming seen aiding refugees in Norway Staff and agencies 03 January, 2006 32 minutes ago OSLO - Camel farming could help create jobs for some African refugees in chilly Norway, producing everything from milk to skins, a local official said on Tuesday. Wenche Stenseth, head of the refugee section at Loeten in southern Norway, said the local authority has applied for one million crowns ($160,000 ) from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration for a feasibility study of a camel farm that might start with 10-20 of the humped animals. "We‘re trying to think in new ways," Stenseth told Reuters. "This is about exploiting the skills people have." About 100 refugees, including people from Somalia and Sudan, live in Loeten, a village about 120 km (75 miles) north of Oslo. Many depend on state handouts as they struggle to find jobs in Norway. A camel farm could help refugees integrate by making them independent of welfare -- camel milk, meat, skins and hair can all be sold. "This is a multicultural society. The market is there," Stenseth said. Typically found in desert regions, some camel species native to Mongolia or Tibet could be suited to the cold Nordic winters. Camels survive by eating grass or hay, like horses in Norway. Camels could also attract tourism. "Why should Norwegians travel to Morocco or Egypt to ride camels if they can do it here?" she asked. http://www.localnewsleader.com/brocktown/stories/news-00119538.html |

Poor Norway. Trouble is, all the REAL vikings left ages ago to come to the new world and fight the true enemy - the Green Bay Packers.

My friend went to Oslo for her masters in Scandinavian Mythology
Anyhoo, I kept in touch with her, she talked about all the African refugees and how she was going to sublet her apartment to some Ethiopians while she went to Turkey to teach. I advised her to get it all from them up front. She didn't, they totally screwed her. She had to pay for about three months of their back rent. I guess they have really lenient eviction laws in Norway, and you can just surf apartments like that. |
