Hey, I visit Norway quite often but something I really like from there is the Tine sour cream you guys have. Do you guys know anything close to it in the UK?

Hello! My partner and I are getting married and are planning to spend our honeymoon in Tromso mid August. I know the Northern Lights won’t be visible and whale watching doesn’t begin until October, so are there any suggestions on how to make the best of it? We’re hoping to rent a car so we can drive around and see the landscapes.

So I just booked a train ticket from Oslo to Bergen, and only just discovered that I could mix the last few stops with a detour along the Flåm Line. The thing is, I don't have very much time and I want to be in Bergen as soon as possible. As I understand, I need to get out at Myrdal and head to Flåm to complete the full experience. Problem is, how do I get to Bergen afterwards? I want to save as much time as possible while having the experience of riding two of the most famous train lines. Thanks in advance!

Hi! First time needing an official Norsk to English translator. Can you recommend someone or a company? Thanks!!

This is not an immigration question, its just about banking.

I remember coming here 6 years ago as a skilled worker and me and my partner were able to basically walk into sparebank 1 SR and open accounts. We had ID numbers already at this point.

A relative of mine has been in Norway 1 month as a student, has a fødselnummer and still doesn't have BankID, Sparebank SR1 is making him jump through hoops, he did th eonline application, then waited a few days, they sent him more questions, then a few days later asking for bank statements from his bank at home.

You can't live here without bankID its almost impossible, so why is opening a bank account this difficult now?

So somewhere around April, I will be taking the 'Bergensbanen' line and I am beyond excited! I will be taking a very early ride, looking for tickets of the train leaving around 6~7 'o clock in the morning. I am looking to buy tickets via vy.no, and willing to pay premium seats in carriage 1 for extra space and comfort. I have two questions though.. which side is the best to sit at? I'll be travelling from Oslo to Bergen. Some people say left is the 'right' option while other say that the right side offer the most beautiful view. The other question, though maybe obvious but trying to make sure, judging from the picture I guess the green markers on the side of the trains are walls (NOT windows), right?

Where can I "anmeld" a complaint about "food poisening" from food consumed in public places?

Edit: its about 2 people having the same symptoms, after a city tour, consuming food and drinks, in the same places. So right now I am not sure it was caused by bad milk (kaffeelatte+capuccino) or meat in a restaurant - no allergies here

Hi I recently bought a watch from www.moddify.no they charged me a bit over 3000 kr. I know it was dumb but the watches look nice. Well I bought it back in October. Didn’t receive it until December. Then when it came it was broken I sent a video showing it was broken. They are refusing to let me return it even though on their page it states a 3 year guarantee. I’m kinda wondering am I just shit out of luck or is there anything I can do about this?

If one was contemplating booking a sauna next a lake, and the instructions said "de må sjølv ta med utstyr for å få hol på isen", what equipment would you take, and how do you create a suitable hole without falling through the ice?

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding driving to Lofoten during the second half of February. I have visited Norway almost ten times now, it's probably my favorite European travel destination. I have also been to Lofoten Islands around 10 years ago, however it was during September.I will never forget that trip.

So now I want to also take my family to Lofoten during the "skiing" vacation. We will drive from southern Finland, and the car is equipped with studded tyres. I know that the islands have very unpredictive weather, so I want to ask the locals if they can give me any pointers on how I should prepare the car. Is driving on the coast anything more special or challenging compared to driving anywhere else in Scandinavia during winter?

This may be a stupid question, but I am worried if the roads may be open on a schedule (ie. between 6:00 - 22:00 or similar limitations). I am asking because in 2020 summer we visited Nordkapp (during Covid-19 lockdowns), and the hotel manager there explained to me that if I ever want to visit during winter, I need shovel, gravel bag, petrol canister, warm clothes and some food/water to last 30hrs, and that the road is normally closed and is only accessible in organized caravans, etc.

PS: I know I need to register my car and pay the tolls beforehand (maybe I should do it right away, so I won't forget).

PS2: Weather permitting, I am hoping to catch some northern lights. Any pointers on how I could maximize my chances?

Ukrainian colleagues at work are expressing their concern as to what will happen to them when the war is eventually over. I don't know what Norway's plans are regarding them, it's pretty much just speculation I am hearing from Ukrainians.

I mean they've been here for years, they learned the language, they have stable jobs and are paying taxes. From my point of view it's only logical to keep those that assimilated as they are asset to Norway's economy, isn't it? And cut subsidies to those that live government handouts, forcing them to leave on their own.

Please let me know what YOUR opinion on this is or better yet - share some actual government statements on what the plan is, if you have this information available.

EDIT: When the war is over - how can a ukrainian person who has a job and knows the language stay here in Norway? Will it be a question of getting a work visa?

So I'm planning on moving to norway in the near future and I'm trying to learn as much of the country as possible the main thing I need to find out is everything about vehicle laws and road laws any website I can use to read up on what is and is not allowed 🚫 reason is im taking my Rav4 with me is a newer car almost paid off so leaving a already dependable vehicle is out of the question for me.

Edit:current place of residence is the USA

Jeg er ny i norsk, så jeg vil vite hva jeg skal studere

Hei alle sammen,

Jeg har fått B1 på alle nivå på norsk og har fått en bevis. Det ligger P-nummer på bevisen og jeg lurer på hvis det er normal å dele denne bevisen på internett? Jeg er litt usikker om P-nummer?

Ha en fin dag.

Hi guys!

I will be working at a camping place for 3-4 (may-aug/sept) months and wanted to ask if there is anything I need to look out for?

I already sent the contract to my local club, where they do this stuff here but I figure they are no experts in norwegian summer jobs.

I will be living there for the time I will be working there, I have more than minimum wage and will pay for rent. Also I already applied for an exchange year in Trondheim after the summer job (that's why 3-4 months and not fixed), but I am not yet sure if I get in until 10th of march.

I'm also wondering about tax, is general tax better or paye?

Are there classes to learn archery in Norway? Specifically, near/in/around Oslo?

Since Norway has the highest rate of Teslas on the road per capita than any other country, is this changing? Are people switching to other alternatives? How do Norwegian Tesla owners feel too? What will happen next?

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could offer some advice for me and my wife's itinerary. We will be arriving in Oslo on May 17th in the afternoon, and leaving on the 25th in the afternoon. We currently have narrowed down the main locations we will be visiting to Oslo, Flam, Voss, and Bergen.

As our current schedule stands, we are barely in Bergen for a whole day. My wife feels as though we will be able to do what we mainly want to do in that time. However, I feel like we are potentially missing a lot of cool things to do and see. We want to achieve a balance of sight seeing and relaxation, and are pretty much amateur hikers. Based off our itinerary below, does anyone have recommendations/suggestions on how they may allocate the days? I understand we won't be able to do everything in this length of a trip anyway, but based off where we want to go, what would be the most optimal time to spend in each spot? Also, if you happen to have any food suggestions or underrated places to check out, please let me know as well! Thank you in advanced.

Has anyone heard of/traveled with Outnord travel?

Hi there! My friend and I are planning a trip to Norway, ending in Copenhagen, in mid May.

Our rough itinerary is as follows

• May 9, oslo
• May 10 to 14, bergen
• May 14 to 18, copenhagen

We do have some flex on which day we get to Copenhagen. I'm wondering if this is too much time in Bergen, and if we should fit in lofoten islands instead (or even do both, but I'm assuming that's not possible). Lofoten looks beautiful, and I'd generally prefer to go somewhere with more hiking and scenery, and some fun spots in the evening. However, I'm mindful that the weather won't be ideal this time of year, and maybe we should just keep the itinerary as is.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hei alle sammen,
How is the hiring for part-time jobs suitable for university students right now in Oslo, especially in terms of how long it takes to find a position? How early would you start applying for jobs for an August start date?

Hei Guys,

Im planning to move from Tromsø to the Netherlands. Im leaving with more stuff then when I came. I think around 4m3 of stuff. Do you have any recommendations of moving companies?

It looks like it was animated with microsoft word Paint and is totally void of charm. The music is really good though.

Hey everyone,

I am driving from Trondheim to Narvik in a few weeks, and I'm looking for scenic or interesting places to stop along the way. Also looking for dog friendly places to stay that may be a little bit unique and cool! Any suggestions?

What Norwegian girl names are either popular or relatively common for millennials.

Any rare ones you have heard of and like the sound of it are also welcome!

It would also be great if the meanings behind those names or what the stereotypes would be associated with those names is explained.

Non norwegian here. Every end of January-beginning of February my winter blues turns on, like a alarm clock.

I get this feeling of claustrophobia and being trapped and overall feeling of being miserable with my life in Norway.

I have good periods where I can't imagine my life in some other place or my home country, but 'end' of winter always gets me.

Any advice or just experience share?
