I guess it is okay if you like it .

I dont think anyone likes it. Just have to remember to eat d-vitamine.

Allthough this is a good place if you want to live in peace without anyone bothering you. Not even the beggars come here. Ive seen only one in my whole lifetime and that was during the short summer.

I did when I lived there. And I didn't move south because of the polar night.

Edit: South being Bergen, Norway at 60N

Im willing to trade places with anyone i.e from spain if somone wants to live here instead.

How about The Netherlands? I think I could manage there. Winter makes me depressed, but if I could just be by myself without being bothered by the every day slavery, I might even prefer it. Unfortunately, I also need to have a means of survival, which is today's world is mostly money.

I hate Winter, at least here in Michigan.

I hate the cold, I hate the snow, and I hate constantly coughing because of how dry the air is.

Ironically, I used to complain about the heat when I lived down in Florida.

What part of Canada are you talking about?

I live in Montréal.
The sun, during summer, goes to bed at 21h max.

In winter, it disapears at around 16h30.

It's not that bad. Nonetheless, I think that I'd like to experience what I't feel like like living in Norway.

I saw a documentary once that spoke of people living in Iceland.
A guy said that he was "suicidal 9 months out of 12" as he showed a plastic bag of magic mushrooms to the camera.

You can always move south Zakhal, winter is my favourite part of the year… plus we get sun most of the days On top of that skiing, skating, sliding, ice-climbing and all the other fun winter activities.

I haven't been up far north this time of the year though…. so I don't know how much worse it is there

Norway is an elongated country, from 58N in the south to 71N in the ultimate north. The polar circle is between 66N and 67N, and it's only north of that the sun disappears completely in winter. So in the greater part of Norway there's no polar nighjt (and no midnight sun).

It's not that bad, really. Some people get depressed due to the lack of sunlight. most people handle it just ok. I lived at 70N for 3 years, and I didn't mind the polar night at all. As I said, what I missed was the long spring period typical for the western coast of Norway.
