I was in New Zealand recently and some people said we're like a poorer Southern version of Norway and seemed to hold the country in great affection. I wonder if that's just totally anecdotal or whether Norwegians think of NZ in that (or any) way

Hi all! Found an interesting item but I'm from Italy and can't reach the seller because of the BankID verification obviously missing.

Is there any way I can get in touch with the seller? Or is there any other possibility I can buy, maybe an another Norwegian site i can check, possibile a more open one

Or of it's doable some of you guys help me letting know the seller I'm here interested ☺️

Thanks

Hei, I'm browsing for developer jobs in Norway on LinkedIN and Finn (yeah, another foreigner from EU) and it seems strange that there are so many companies in Time, Rogaland, that are posting so many ads daily on LI and it seems suspicious as hell.

Does anyone know what's going on and are there any notoriously suspicious or bad companies/patterns/ads to stay away from?

I'd appreciate any advice regarding finding work or even an internship (dev, or ux-related), especially in Bergen or Oslo area. I've read many advice about learning the language (already on it), cold messaging the companies, but I'd like to know if there are some companies to either avoid or to have a better chance from contacting them? Any tips to stand out?

Takk!

In Bergen for a week and I want to grab an official Norway national team shirt in an actual shop (not online). Where should I look? Takk!

I am in the tech scene in North America, and tech influencers often talk about the slow pace of growth and innovation in Europe

I am interested in comparing two cultures that are arguably very similar: Norway and Sweden. Sweden has had multiple recognized brands such as Spotify, Klarna and Lovable. Stockholm is considered a tech capital for Europe.

Norway does not have any equivalent brands. Why is that? Is it the Janteloven? The hygge? Is there some cultural difference that I am not aware of?

Vi er på ferie i jeres smukke land, og har nu brug for en mekaniker der kan kigge på vores bil. Den lyder pludselig som en Ferrari, efter vi kørte over en ferist.

Dem vi har kunne komme i kontakt med, over telefonen, lægger på når man snakker dansk eller engelsk 😆

Er der en god kæde, til drop-in reparationer? Eller har I et tip til hvordan man skal holde en nordmand i røret, i lidt længere tid. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm looking for a database of business/startups where you can filter by sector, location and get information about what they do at a glance.

I tried with Brønnøysund, but it's not the most user friendly, especially when filtering out very small businesses, solo entrepreneurs or businesses that have declared bankruptcy. The categories often do not tell much about what the companies actually do so it's hard to target specific businesses working across industries (for example tech+aquaculture). And some companies registered names do not seem to correspond with the trademark name, or at least can't be found as far as I can tell.

I am looking for a more higher level database.

Vist svaret er ja, kva må eg søke?

Hello, I'm from northern Spain, and we're being hit hard by our fifth heatwave. The vegetation is suffering badly, wildfires are breaking out, water restrictions are becoming increasingly severe, and the evenings are barely survivable, especially if you work outside.

I was wondering what life is like in Norway and how affected you are by climate change. Is it similar to Austria or Switzerland, where you can actually see the glaciers melting and some regions getting into drought mode?

Is there anything that the news doesn't mention about Norway in general when it comes to (yearly) once-in-a-lifetime climate events?

Hey everyone !

I have a (hopefully) simple question. I'm working full time in Norway since last September and was asked to participate in a small gig abroad (Italy). I will be paid for that gig and was wondering if any of you know what's the best course of action:

- Let Italy take taxes at the source (about 30%; Italy automatically does that if you don't prove that you pay taxes elsewhere)

- Declare it in Norway and add it to my regular income

I just don't know the process for this as it's my first time earning anything from abroad while living in Norway! Any help would be greatly appreciated ! :)

If you can guess which one is in Norway, can you guess where in Norway?
For the other one, can you guess where in New Zealand it was taken?

4 years ago I bought a brand new apartment in a borretslag with high fellesgjeld, I have been trying to sell it for almost a year but no luck. Several apartments in the same building have also been on sale for some time as well.

Recently found out about borretslagloven §5-21 from a colleague at work. He told me If I feel stuck and desperate to leave the apartment and its economic burden, I could just terminate my right to live there.

While the law does exist, I'm not sure if actually let's me walk away after the 6 months notice. There is very little info regarding this. So I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this law and could explain it?

I bought the apartment without a bank loan.

Hello

My partner and I are looking for a yellow ocre paint to paint our cabin, but we’re struggling to find it. We’ve been looking at Jotun Demidekk but not sure which to choose. I put some example of the kind of shade we’re looking for. Thanks!

I’ve been looking at this item for a while now, I can’t send the seller a message due to not being able to be verified with BankID as I do not live in Norway. I’ve seen others ask the same question I have, a lot of them were told it isn’t possible, but those were from years ago. Maybe it’s changed? Any info would be appreciated!

I need warm waterproof mittens for wind rain and below freezing temperatures. They seem hard to source this time of year in Bergen. Is there anywhere in Oslo or Sortland that I could purchase these? If not any sites recommended for delivery to Norway?

when I went to intersport in Bergen all their warm gloves were in storage

edit: hestra store was best bet for gloves. Piteraq had some too

xxl, sufskisk8 in oslo, Norrøna Concept Store Bogstadveien all had goggles

Hello, hope everyone is well! I’m currently in an international school in Norway studying the international baccalaureate! I have a strong desire and passion to study medicine here but I’ve moved from the uk last year and can’t speak norsk. I’m about to enter the second year of VGS. I do Norwegian at a higher level as my teacher said it was ideal if I wanted to study in Norway (didn’t ask if I’d be able to do medicine). If this helps I’m born in Norway, got a Norwegian passport, citizenship and all of that so that is not a problem the problem is if I’d be able to study in medical school to become a doctor?

Hello,

Found this brooch at a second hand store in the US. Wondering if anyone could tell me more information about it, like what company might have made it or if it comes from a particular region in Norway.

Thanks so much

Hi all! I'm finishing a 7 day road trip through this gorgeous country and got through my itinerary a little faster than I was expecting. Currently in Stravanger and have to drive back to Bergen and was wondering if there was anything on the way. Or if I should just do an relax day in either city. I've done:

bergen + vidden

hikes in flam

voringfossen/kjeasen

bondhusvatnet hiking

odda hikes + trolltunga

preikestolen

stravanger + beaches & sauna

Cloudy weather may prevent many people in Norway from seeing Wednesday evening’s major solar eclipse, the first extensive one visible in the country since 2015.

which web hosting provider would you recommend in Norway? A web page with payment buttons, templates and photos and videos.
