It never gets really dark in June-July 7. I wouldn't call it a Down Town area. But it serves its purposes quite well. Otherwise Notodden is our downtown district. German and Japanese cars are most common.
Cars are expensive in Norway.
A new car costs from 130.000 kr. But people on average may have cars up to 300.000 kr. Most families need two cars. Many Norwegians care very much for their cars. Skiing has been and still is popular.
