Norwegian Proverb help

jdradish · 12-03-2006, 05:15 PM

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me.
I'm looking to use a Norwegian proverb for my friend,
I found this one on the internet, but it did not provide the
actual Norwegian version of it.
"Rather free in a foreign place than a slave back home"
Thanks in advance,
JDRadish

"Godt å være norsk...i Danmark"? erh..maybe not

I rephrased it to sound a bit better, but it has the same content:
"heller en fri mann i et annet land, enn en slave i sitt eget." -that is, if your friend is a male.
