    Okay - so I live and work in Oslo. I attended an all-day business meeting at a smaller place about 1 hour's drive from Oslo. When I was about to leave I thanked for the stay and emphasized that I appreciated the relaxed and calm environment. What I didn't know at that time was I ended up insulting the director of the office I visited. He took it personally and later I found out he thought I was insinuating that they were ineffective when I was actually appreciating the atmosphere... So be careful with your praise...

    The biggest plus for me, was growing in Norway up as a kid. I do know some kids have problems and get bullied, but that was not the case for me. I would pick that as my top reason, the country-side is very child friendly, playing in the snow was so fun. I still remember my ski jump hill from the roof of our mountain cottage, not so fun being the waterboy, but even so, the childhood memories rank the highest.

    Huh, fascinating stuff :) I can tell you live in a different part of the country, and Norway is a bit more hectic in the cities. There are also more Sunday open stores there, though not to the extent of the US. And yes, you can stay at home if you are sick, but in most places, you are expected to have high work ethics and be effective when you are at work (this might differ from work place to work place, I'm sure).
    Either way, welcome to Norway, Sara!

DID YOU KNOW THAT CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DID NOT DISCOVER AMERICA BECAUSE BECAUSE THERE WAS ALREADY CIVILIZATION HERE IN AMERICA WHEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ARRIVED ON AMERICAN SOIL???? AND AMERICA IS NOT JUST THE UNITED STATES, BUT THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE WHICH CONSISTS OF NORTH AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA. THE COUNTRY IN AMERICA I WILL BE VISITING FROM IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND SADLY TO SAY BUT TRUE, IS THAT THE UNITED STATES WAS ESTABLISHED AND STARTED BY THE SETTLERS FROM ENGLAND THAT ROBBED AND SLAUGHTERED THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FOR THEIR LAND AND THAT THE ANCESTORS OF US BLACK PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA WERE KIDNAPPED OUT OF AFRICA AND BROUGHT TO AMERICA TO WORK AS SLAVES, THAT IS WHY I CALL AMERICA BABYLON!!!! AND NOW THE UNITED STATES IS ON THE BRINKS OF A FALL BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION THAT HAS BEEN DONE HERE OVER THE YEARS. THE GOVERNMENT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE PAYING SOME FARMERS NOT TO GROW FOOD AND A LOT OF GROCERY STORES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE STARTING TO BECOME EMPTY.

      During a cold winter with deep snow they suffer badly, as they are forcedcinto more rugged remote terrain.

I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to
    spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

      The foreigner’s (lack of) understanding of the Norwegian work culture. Insufficient language skills. Education invalid, or insufficient to Norwegian requirements or circumstances. Norwegian employers will focus strongly on your personality. Well functioning team work is a big and important component in Norwegian work forces, unlike the culture in many other countries where it is more socially acceptable for an individual to highlight, promote, and take all, or as much credit as possible for her/him self, which is not unusual in the US. The elbowing ahead has a different dynamic here. You having a personality the employer think can mesh well with existing employers/the rest of the staff/the rest of the organization is hugely important. In other words, harmony amongst colleagues and a good work environment is often seen as key. Having a personality that makes your colleagues like you and see you as competent and sociable might count more than in other countries, depending on the job or position.
      The culture of acknowledging the efforts and contributions of your colleagues, and giving recognition to those around you is important. To peacefully team work with people from other socioeconomic, religious, and cultural and backgrounds than yourself is something we are trained at doing from we are small children, more than in than in the states, where societies are more segregated, and where deeper, long time lasting interactions with people different from yourself are less structured by society. In other words, the understanding of tolerance as a value and tool is more widespread here than in the US.
      Your references from another culture and country might hence be viewed, interpreted a bit differently, and with greater uncertainty.
      If they suspect you are that one person who in one way or the other will disturb, prevent, stall smoothness in the organization, you will fast fall into the “not valid” category, and they might end up choosing the person who’s professional skills are ranked a little bit beneath you, but who’s personal interaction and sociable skills supersedes you. To offer resources to lift that person professionally through courses, guidance, or additional education is what they might prefer.
      A general problem with Eastern Europeans is they culturally are not used to work things out on their own. They come from a culture where they expect direct and specific orders from higher up, and do not dear, are not allowed to act on their own. But traditionally western countries are more similar to Norway in that the boss will not necessarily micro-manage how you solve a task, as long as you end up managing solving the task within rules, procedures, deadlines and costumes. Amongst Norwegians too, the majority of new jobs are landed through contacts and acquaintances. A good reputation, often amongst previous and current colleagues, but not only, is invaluable, and Norway has small societies where rumors travel fast.
      Bottom line, cultural insensitivity has without doubt ruined job chances for several foreign job seekers, often in the form of coming off too strong. Based on everything from one or two sentences in the application the employer find too bragging and over the top, to presenting themselves in a very little sympathetic and appealing way on a job interview, and being too pushy in their requests for a reply.

    What do describe is simply life on the country side, not life in Norway. It is the same on every country side trough out scandinavia. If you live in a denser populated area you will not visit your neigbours door to door or ask if you've seen a moose recently. I guess you don't have much of a country side in Denmark, but that is more of a lacking context in Denmark. Big countries like France, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland all have a significan contry side where life is like you describe it.
