Making friends in Norway by britadiantraveller
Is anyone else finding it incredibly hard to make friends in Norway? I am a bit shy myself but it's to the point of rediculous with people here! I'm at my wit's end... :(

My first message to a forum. by RFd
Hello to whoever reads this. And Thanks! I am both new to Norway and new to blogging, hopefully both will be catastrophe free. I am slowly getting used to the cost of things here - I dont seem to notice spending 20Nok for an ice lolly or up to ...
Also another good tip, in Deli de Luca, they offer a few chinese or indian (one actually lol) meals; it's NOK 19/100 gr, so if you take 2-300 gr (a decent portion i think), it'll cost 6-7, like in continental Europe so. Beware that many other ... Read More

Here's a rule : eating out is ridicully expansive in Norway ! Basically there's no limit when u go out to eat or have a drink, specially if u're in the west... I found just one exception so far : a normal priced indian restaurant, the Curry&Ketchup, ... Read More
