From Northern Ireland wanting to move to Norway by markosha
I am just back from a holiday in Norway and Sweden and I really enjoyed my time in Norway alot. Since I got back home, i've decided I'd like to move to Norway and try life out there. Been reading alot of blogs and other websites about Norway and ...

Yeah, not really sure how it works in either place, we're all screwed by the guys at the top anyway! I don't think it's a good situation to be in sadly, no matter what the circumstances. I'm a bit out of my depth this subject though, I'm generally ... Read More

I wasn't talking monetary value, though I guess that's how I've worded it, but my being able to access it as a foreigner, there's a lot of horror stories over people who have lived and paid taxes here for decades but when something has gone wrong ... Read More

When I'm in Norway I'm in Sunnm酶re, 脜lesund. I'm afraid I don't know anything about housing there or the rules for it though... sorry, it's not got a huge student population like Trondheim or Bergen so I can imagine renting is more difficult, have ... Read More

Hi, I actually work on a ship, I work with a lot of Norwegians and did my training with a Norwegian shipping company and have sailed up and down the coast a fair bit. I now spend most of my leave here due to my Norwegian partner but I still ... Read More

I started learning Norwegian from a dictionary on ebay, and embarrasingly enough Norwegian Harry Potter books and the accompanying audio book, I found phrase books/ courses pretty naff. I also spent a lot of time writing out lists of words- food, ... Read More

I have been through Mo i Rana as my partner has family from that area: it's a fairly smallish town in a very isolated part of the country, very much 'jumping in the deep end' of Norway and it's culture, it's a good drive to a 'big' city (6 hours to ... Read More


Baking Soda! by jenkras
Can someone please tell me where to find Baking Soda in Oslo? Thanks! Jenifer

Wiki sounds like a good idea, thanks for the tip! :) Got to say I downloaded the bl氓 ordbok app but pretty disappointed with it overall, got a much cheaper app and the translations are far superior... guess itdepends what you're using it for though! ... Read More


Baking Soda! by jenkras
Can someone please tell me where to find Baking Soda in Oslo? Thanks! Jenifer

Trying to find the names of baking ingredients drives me nuts in Norway, my fairly technical Norwegian does me no favours either when standing in the middle of Kiwi trying to find cake essentials! :P On the subject of baking, anyone know of a good ... Read More

dmcart13 Completely agree with everything you said.... at the moment I've been here on and off for the last year and a half, although I don't actually live here officially yet; I work at sea and usually have 4 weeks at work, a weekend or maybe ... Read More


Xmas fare by Gdadbrian
After living here on and off for 26 years, I can no longer find British food here anymore. At present my main concern is of course Xmas. Other things are un-smoked bacon and sausages, and pies. Anyone who can help please let me know. :|

It's notoriously difficult to get hold of British foods, I've found a shop in 脜lesund that sells cadbury's while the Asian supermarket sells ginger beer.... no chance on other stuff... I've started making a lot of stuff from scratch but had severe ... Read More


to stay or to go??? by forms
We are a family of 4, having moved from the UK 2 1/2 years ago. We live in a small town near Drammen, with one of us working in Oslo and one studying/working locally. Our two children are in primary school/nursery, and we have bought an old house ...

Oof that is a tricky one, I completely relate to many of the points raised here but am in an opposite dilemma- do I stay in the UK or move to Norway? Having lived and worked with Norwegians for the last 5 years and being together with my Norwegian ... Read More
