Norway has a population of 5.4 million. Almost everyone in this country owns a house, while poverty is practically unheard of. Our tour guide in Stavanger (a bustling city in Norway) Laila said that the Norwegian government has a very robust foreign reserve position, and if spread evenly among its people, each citizen can get around RM2mil each!

No wonder our bus driver bragged that he was very rich. Besides a big house and big car, he said he also owns a seaside villa (in fact, there are about half a million private-owned villas in the country) and a private yacht (over a million private-owned)!
