Hi Daniel,

1) Language: norwegian has nothing in common with finnish as you may know but if you have been to learn finnish I think you can master norwegian easily, it is easier to learn. However english is spoken everywhere and it is illegal in Norway to discriminate on the lack of language skills when hiring except if the job requires you to speak norwegian

2) Finding a job is not so hard, especially in construction, bars, restaurants, a little bit of prior contacts always help of course

3) Rent for a room is around 3-5000 NOK with usually a mandatory 3 months deposit

4) Norwegians are nice, more open than the Finnish and they are used to work / deal with foreigners as the immigrant population in Oslo is pretty significant

good luck!

Ty Armand for the warm welcome.

And ty AuNordDuMonde for the fast and eficient reply.
Very helpful things.  For the "3-5000 NOK " that`s how much in euros ? if you don`t mind me asking.  Hopefully i`ll find a job pretty fast. Glad to hear that norwegians are "warmer" than the finnish people.

Any things I should know in advance? Do and Don`t do ? I am an educated person with good moral values and common sense ...but I don`t want to mess this up so any tips would be welcomed. ty in advance
really helpful forum and people.
