Borderlands Can Be Fun

I don't think of myself as particularly ethnic, but I felt very complicated when the officer at border control looked at my last name and asked if I was Norwegian or Swedish. I was like, what, I have choices? I usually just put Caucasian. I think the pressure would have been too much, except that Norway has the nicest border control ever. One of the agents was dressed in a sweater and glasses that made her look less like an agent of the state and more like an agent of the Bookmobile.
