1. The first immigrants who came to Norway, came from neighbouring countries and Western Europe. In the 1960s, Norwegian economy improved, There was need for more labour, and many people came for other countries to find work. Most of them came from Europe, but as time went by, people from Asia, Africa, Latin America etc. came to find work. Later in the 1970s however, immigration was halted because of unemployment was increasing, and it was dificult to find housing for everyone. In recent years, many asylum seekers and refugees have also arrived in Norway.

2. In Norway, we have immigrants from all around the world. Especially in big ctities like Oslo and Bergen. If you drive through Oslo, you will see poeple from different countries and cultures. You will see restaurants and stores selling food, toys, clothes etc. from countries all around the world. In London, I think it is pretty similar, but much bigger. In London, big parts of the city is the home to many immigrants. There are cultures that differs from the rest of London and the British culture.
