Contraceptives by TMilimo
I've been using the implant for the last 3 years and need to replace it in a couple weeks. Any information about where and how I go about doing this? I am still waiting for UDI to process my family immigration permit and therefore do not have ...
I am not sure you need to go to the private sector for this. You should give a call to Oslo Legevakt and ask them for advices. Volvat is really expensive and public doctor would charge you less. Read More
Discount for frequent train travel from trondheim to oslo by micj

Hi all, I've recently relocated to the north of Norway and I've seen a motorhome further south in Stavanger I quite like. If I was to wanting to drive it home, how does the insurance work? Back in the UK you can buy temporary insurance and ...
You can try to convince the seller to keep his insurance valid for a couple of days so you can bring back the vehicle but this is unlikely as he will take a risk with his premium in case something happen. Otherwise you call your insurance when you ... Read More

Here your kid would go to a kindergarten, which is not a school. It's more a day care so you can't think of it having a curriculum like what you would see in India or some other countries. They just play and have fun. You will find the ... Read More
