Hello :),

I currently live in Germany and have a very good job offer in Bergen. If I were to move, my partner would come with me. She has a degree in social work and we are wondering what the job opportunities are like for social workers in Bergen. She speaks German, English and Russian (and will of course learn Norwegian).

Thanks for any useful information!

Hi, I want to get some more specific books in English but seems like a bit hard to find when it is a new book. Is there any underground place where to find it?

Har fått litt dilla på boba i det siste, men den eneste plassen eg vet som seller det er BobaCha på Lagunen. Er det noen andre gode i Bergensområdet?

My flight from Bergen Lufthavn is going around 6 am and there is no tram at this time. We live at Fantoft, is there any other option to go to the airport than taking a Taxi?

Hi fine folks of r/Bergen!

I'm planning to visit Bergen for 4 days next month (November) and would like to do a day trip one of the days. I don't want to stay overnight outside of Bergen, so I know that limits my options this time of year.

My main goal is to see beautiful scenery and a secondary one is to experience the train (which I prefer over boat). I was researching a few options and am wondering which one (if any) would be worth it this time of year?

1. Bergen - Myrdal - Bergen by train. With the schedule, I'd have to wait in Myrdal for an hour, and from what I understand there's not much to do there.
2. Bergen - Voss - Bergen by train.
3. Bergen - Flam - Bergen by train. The stop in Flam is only 40 minutes in total.
4. A guided tour that combines bus, boat, and the Flam train only. I'm not sure if there's enough daylight for all of that.
5. Something else entirely?

I'm looking for advice since I don't know which parts of the train ride are the most scenic? I'd plan to leave early in the morning to maximize daylight.

TIA!

heihei, lurte på om noen av dere vet hvilke asiatiske butikker som har mest japanske utvalg? Nylig vært en tur i Japan og fikk prøve litt natto, noe som jeg virkelig likte, men har ikke helt klart å funnet noe i Bergen? Noen av dere som vet om det er noen butikker som selger det?

Hello. I am coming for an exchange in spring to Bergen and I was wondering how does that work with parking there. Is there any parking places available in Sammen student apartments? Any experiences?

Kjærsten min og jeg skal være i Bergen fra 28. desember til 5. januar. Jeg har vært her noen ganger før, men det er hennes første gang i byen og i Norge generelt. Hvilke steder anbefaler dere å besøke på denne tiden av året (både utendørs og innendørs), og hva er hyggelige restauranter og kafeer? Jeg har allerede noen steder på listen min, men det er noen år siden jeg sist var i Bergen, så jeg setter stor pris på tips. Takk for forslagene! :)

Hi there

Stopping in Bergen for the night. Any can’t - miss dinner places? Thanks in advance! <3

Just seen that it's El clasico tonight. Wondering if there are any sports bar in Bergen?

Also where can I buy a massive umbrella?

Nettopp flyttet til Bergen hvor er de beste plassene å klippe seg

Jeg lurte på om det finnes steder man kan jobbe frivillig i julen, spesielt julaften. Jeg har jobbet litt som frivillig ved Robin Hood huset tidligere (ikke i julen, vel å merke), og syntes det var kjekt, men tenkte å høre om folk her visste om andre alternativer også.

Jeg så Dark Match igår, og selv om den har sine feil og mangler var den utrolig underholdende og overraskende morsom! Skal se Ljosbrot imorgen. Andre som har noen tips til filmer å sjekke ut, eller bare har sett noe fett?

planning to take the mrs out for a few drinks at a nice bar and food after.

any suggestions on either?

Hi everyone,

I live in Bergen and have been actively searching for a job in Machine learning/data science but I’ve been encountering difficulties due to my lack of practical experience. Although my Master’s degree in Machine Learning and Bachelor's in Mathematics have given me a solid foundation, but many job listings require hands-on experience that I haven’t had the chance to gain yet. I completed my master's from UIB in 2023 and had a baby, I was with him at home until the middle of 2024.

In my free time, I am doing more courses to enhance my skills in data science/data analytics and also have registered as a jobseeker on NAV, they are also not in a position to support me because I am overqualified for the job and I just should try. :) But my situation does not change, how many courses I do or whatever skills I learn online, still have no practical experience which leads to rejections. I also have been applying to graduate programs but they prefer to take graduate of recent year I think. I am very hard-working and so passionate about my field, I am sure after a little training I can be a valuable contributor to any company. It's literally not just about money, I really love to do work and learn in AI/data. I am even ready to start my career and get training without a salary. I just want to remove this no-experience thing from my resume.

I know Network is important but I unfortunately have not a circle or know anyone in Beregn who can help or guide me. Additionally, I only have basic Norwegian skills, which I know can be a barrier for some roles. I’m highly motivated to start my career and develop my skills, but I’m unsure how to bridge the gap between my education and the practical experience employers are looking for.

Does anyone know of any training programs, internships, or career development opportunities in Bergen that could help someone in my situation? I’m eager to learn and get my foot in the door, so any guidance or advice would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hei tjommier og tjommisser!

Dette er vell en stab in the dark, men jeg er på utkikk etter å leie leilighet/hybel i Bergen! Ja, jeg har vært på Finn, Hybel, Facebook og Studentboliger (er student). Om det er noen snille sjeler der ute som kan hjelpe, gi meg lyd🫶

Kan være utenfor Bergen også!

Vi klarer det!

How easy is it to move to Bergen from the uk? Especially if you don’t speak Norwegian? Is there jobs available or are they quite difficult to find?

note: I’d love to learn more about daily life in every country- especially Norway as I am currently visiting here, as I’m really fascinated by the diverse ways people live around the world. I’m planning to start a podcast where I interview people from all different paths of life. I really enjoy hearing about personal stories and experiences, and my goal is to amplify voices while sharing cultural and educational insights.

Hei, har noen av dere erfaring med manpower? Jeg har en utdanning i cybersecurity, har søkt på masse stillinger innenfor IT hvor det rangeres fra at jeg er delvis kvalifisert til kvalifisert, men har fått avslag etter avslag de siste månedene. Jeg begynner å miste motivasjonen, så jeg vurderer å få hjelp av rekrutteringsbyråer som manpower, men jeg har hørt miks meninger om det at det er dårlig og bra.

Så igjen lurer jeg på om det er noe av dere ville ha anbefalt? Erfaringer med de? Isåfall har noen av dere andre rekrutteringsbyråer som dere kan anbefale? (Og hvis dere tør å ansatte en fremmed fra reddit, så er jeg tilgjengelig og åpen for å snakke om det)

I går var den første humanistiske Hjertesirkel i Bergen. En hjertesirkel er et trygt sted hvor vi møtes som mennesker, uten masker, for å lytte eller dele det vi har på hjertet. Du kan også sitte og bare være tilstede uten å dele noen ting. Neste Hjertesirkel er 13. november. Den som er interessert kan lese mer (og kanskje melde seg på) ved å bruke lenken under.

In May I will rent an electric car at Bergen airport. We will spend 2 weeks with the family between Bergen and Stavanger.

I have seen that there are numbers of charging points.

My question is as follows:

To pay for the recharges can I simply make the payment with my credit card or do I absolutely have to download 2-3 apps, register, enter the data, enter the credit card information ?

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student from Ontario, Canada and wondering about exchange in Bergen!

1. I was wondering about how lively the student life is here? Is there a lot of socializing amongst students?
2. Also I was wondering how easy it would be to make friends here given the fact that I don’t speak Norwegian? I only speak English and Russian.
3. Is there student housing and is it close to the university?
4. And lastly, how is the weather here in the Fall? Is there a good amount of sunlight and sunny days?

Any information would be super helpful!!

I'm moving to Bergen in January and have been getting into ski touring/backcountry skiing in the last couple of years (currently living in Vancouver).

Is there much of a ski touring community in Bergen? Where can I find people for trips?

Hi ! I am a French student coming to Bergen next week and I was wondering if I could buy a student bus ticket even if I do not study in Norway ? On the website it seems that they wouldn’t accept it, but maybe ?? I also have my ESN card from Trondheim which is still valid, but of course my studentbevis is not valid anymore.. what do you think ?

Skal ut å feire dag med madammen idag om et par timer. Vi elsker indisk mat men det er lenge siden jeg har spist indisk på restaurant i Bergen. Trolig før covid.

Ser på TripAdvisor og lignende, men jeg blir ikke så mye klokere. Ofte falske anmeldelser på de sitene.

Er det noen her i forumet som vil anbefale en indisk restaurant, helst i nærheten av bybanen?
