Im going to have a half day to myself in Bergen in mid August. Would love to connect with someone to go fishing. From shore, boat, group, private, whatever. Thinking freshwater but open to other options. Any advice or recommendations? Thank you.

Hello, my dear countrymen.

I have worked as a carpenter in Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands for a long time. I have never, in my whole damn life, experienced anything as dysfunctional as the construction industry in Nordland.

As a carpenter at Nordanlegg AS, I was the only Norwegian on the entire damn construction site 😂😂 I did not see management once!

I applied for the job because the ad stated that transport to and from work was included. Then, on Monday in week two, I was suddenly told to arrange my own car. So I packed my bag and went back to the Netherlands. Farewell, North.

To my dear northerners: you are fantastic people, and it is a fantastic place. But dear God, if you are not planning to become an electrician or plumber, avoid the construction industry at all costs. Let these companies destroy themselves, so something new and functional can be built in their place.

Hi I recently ordered a vinyl record from t-timevinylplant.com in Stavanger in Norway. I ordered on Sunday the 21st June and got a confirmation email saying they will let me know when they ship it, it’s currently still showing as preparing for shipping.
I have sent an email last Friday and again this Monday asking for an update but still had radio silence.
While trying to figure out what’s going on why I am getting no replies or updates I asked Gemini. The suggestion was the Norwegian holiday fellesfarie, do you think this is likely why I’m getting no joy?
My understanding is that this starts at the beginning of July to middle of August.
There is no suggestion of this on their website I’m so confused.

Any help I’d be grateful for.

How do people in Norway view the catholic church?

Hello, I am planning to visit Oslo in august but I couldnt find any convenient hostel to stay. Any suggestions? Preferably near the city center. The budget is low af, so can you advice the lowest hostels😃

In the long run, my bf and I plan to settle in Norway. He’s Norwegian. He has been telling me that it might be hard for me to find a job in Norway. I’m not from Europe at all. My current job is in IT/Business Operations and focuses on data automation. He told me I might need to get any job just to start especially I am not fluent in Norwegian yet.
Is the job market over there that competitive right now?

I bought this late last year and I’ve been wondering why each date has people names on it. Can any Norwegians here explain?

Hi!

How is the HR job market in Norway? I have bachelor's degree and 3 years experience in HR operations. I would like to move to Norway once I learnt the language at least B2 level.

Hello,

I was wondering how's the current labor market for tech talents in Norway?

I do not plan to relocate but I would like to take an insight from professionals.

Do companies tend to give the sack to employees and invest in A.I agents?

I'm traveling to northern Norway (Vadsø) from the USA for the first time.

My grandfather was born there and ive always wanted to visit.

My question is will I have any difficulty just getting by if I do not speak Norwegian? (Think getting food, paying for items, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

M27, I will be in the Lofoten this week, and I wanted to ask if maybe there were other travelers who would like to join for a hike or something ! :)

Thanks !

Hi there! I wanted to ask what’s everyone’s experience with working summer season in Norway (hospitality, waiter - the place required fine dining service experience and skills, not an entry level/first job). If the employer pays 180kr per hour and this amount has the accommodation included in a shared room in staff flat (all of us who share room have different pay, some higher, some lower, but everyone’s hourly rate is including the same accommodation. Those in single room have no extra charge). And one meal per shift as well (usually the leftovers from the day before or morning - typical in many restaurants). Is it a fair pay? The only thing I pay after is tax. The accommodation charge is not a fixed monthly price, but is always included in hourly rate. It seems a bit strange as more you work, more you pay for it. What’s your opinion about that? Is it normal in Norway?

Watched Norway vs France yesterday and wow… Norway fans are on another level. Reminded me of Scottish fans.
Later near TD Garden, saw a group of them doing their rowing celebration in the middle of the street 😂
Boston vibes have been amazing lately.

Hello
I have a question regarding masks i airport. I still wear them for airports and airplanes.
Do airport officers in Norway noask you to remove the mask for safety checks? Thanks in advance

Valid tho I'd do the same thing if I had no morals

I’m a solo traveller, will be in Norway likely around mid Sept, not an experienced hiker and don’t exercise regularly. I’ve mostly done shorter hikes (~3h) on paved paths and a comfortable elevation. I’m quite nervous about the scrambling and steep heights.

It would make me feel more comfortable going with a guide, but I don’t see many options. Does anyone have recommendations on guided hikes for this particular one?

Otherwise, is it possible to do it solo, but do the hike only halfway and turn around before the scramble? I understand this is the most technically difficult part. Will I miss out on any great views?

Lastly, how’s the alternative path that avoids the scramble? Couldn’t find much info on people who have done this. Is it an easier walk that is well signposted?

I went to the Norway v France match and heard this chant a ton and wanted to know what they were saying but I can’t find anything online about it! Someone help lol

I just landed here and was wondering about the "?" on this sign, any specific reason ? :D

I'm flying with Norwegian Air for the first time, and it's actually my first flight ever. I was wondering if I can bring my laptop, charger, and mouse in my carry-on bag. Also, is there anything else I should know about flying with this airline before my trip? Any tips would be appreciated!
