Norway

Norway (i/ˈnɔːrw/ NAWR-way; Norwegian:  Norge (Bokmål) or  Noreg (Nynorsk)), officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula plus the island Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard. The Antarctic Peter I Island and the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island are dependent territories and thus not considered part of the Kingdom. Norway also lays claim to a section of Antarctica known as Queen Maud Land. Until 1814, the Kingdom included the Faroe Islands (since 1035), Greenland (1261), and Iceland (1262). It also included Shetland and Orkney until 1468.

Norway has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres (148,747 sq mi) and a population of 5,109,059 people (2014). The country shares a long eastern border with Sweden (1,619 km or 1,006 mi long). Norway is bordered by Finland and Russia to the north-east, and the Skagerrak Strait to the south, with Denmark on the other side. Norway has an extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.

Norway Pavilion at Epcot

The Norway Pavilion is a Norway-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Its location is between the Mexican and Chinese Pavilions.

Layout

The 58,000-square-foot (5,400 m2) Norway Pavilion is designed to look like a Norwegian village. The village includes a detailed Stave church, and the exterior of its main table-service restaurant, Restaurant Akershus, resembles its namesake in Oslo. The exhibit showcases 4 styles of Norwegian architecture: Setesdal-style, Bergen-style, Oslo-style and Ålesund-style.

Much of the pavilion is taken up by interconnected shops. These shops are decorated with large wooden trolls and sell assorted Norwegian goods, including clothing, candy, and statuettes of Norse gods and trolls. The courtyard of the pavilion contains the entrance to Maelstrom, a boat ride into Norway's past and present. Kringla Bakeri og Kafé is a bakery, featuring assorted Norwegian pastries, such as cream horns and open-faced salmon sandwiches. The courtyard contains the entrance to Restaurant Akershus, featuring a hot and cold buffet and "Princess Storybook Dining."

All Men Play On Ten

by: Manowar

I MADE A ROCK'N'ROLL
WHEN I TRIED GIVIN' IN, TO MAKE MONEY HAD TO TURN DOWN LOW
THEY SAID, "WHY BE PROUD, DON'T PLAY SO LOUD, BE LIKE US
AND GET A SOUND THAT'S REAL THIN
WEAR A POLYESTER SUIT, ACT HAPPY, LOOK CUTE, GET A HAIRCUT
AND BUY SMALL GEAR"
THAT'S WHEN I TURNED TO THEM AND SAID, HOLD IT, RIGHT THERE
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYIN'
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
I'M JET FUEL HONEY, PLUG ME INTO 220, STEP BACK AND LET
MY FINGERS FLY
WHILE I'M BURNING UP MY GEAR, THERE'S A FIRE IN YOUR EAR
THAT WON'T STOP UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE
I REALLY PUT IT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I HEAR THE CROWD ROAR
OH, IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS WHEN THEY SCREAM
THEN I RUN BACK THE POWER RACK AND DECK, ALL OF MY GEAR
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
