Target! I also went to Cub Foods. I thought I would be overwhelmed at both stores, but I felt completely at home. I was walking around imagining how a Norwegian would react in such a large store. A large grocery store in Norway is comparable to a Trader Joe's or the Festival Foods in Lexington, MN. They are small with only one or two varieties of each product. I would think that the "Target experience" would be sensory overload for most Norwegians.
I actually asked my friend Katrine (who was an exchange student from Norway my senior year of high school) and this is what she had to say about my favorite place:
"I remember that I liked Target a lot, just because they had absolutely all I needed in there, and it was cheap as well.
I liked walking around to look at all the different kinds and versions of the exact same product. It always took me hours to decided which one to buy because there were so many different kinds of everything.
I also remember buying a lot of nail polish at Target just because it was so cheap ($2 or $3 compared to $10-$15 back home) and the quality was even better.
I guess my conclusion is: I like Target and I wish they had one in Norway, and at least one here in San Francisco."
In other news, I saw the movie Cedar Rapids with my mom last night and it was the perfect movie to see after moving back to the Midwest. It was so funny!
