    Hi Guys,
    what sort of work do you do?
    any issues with language?
    I was there twice over the years,loved it and would be very interested in going to work there.

    I work with information security, however it's difficult finding the right work where I live, so I'm stuck learning new skills in IT :D.

    Language is an issue the further north you go as it's away from the buzzing multi-cultural big cities, such as Oslo.
    It's not that Norwegian's have bad English; it's a confidence thing.

    Are you in Oslo, Moonbeam?
    How's life?

    Would like to hear more about the experience of living there, seems like a very civilized country: tried to learn the lingo some years ago but found it too difficult.

    I know Poles up north that make a killing as they have trades. I was in Bergen and loved it. Oslo is worth a visit. Those folk are so classy! I found the drug use/begging on the streets very surprising.

    I live in Oslo:)
    Hubby is currently working I have 1 kid at home so still home with them until they get a Barnhage place,Also in the IT sector and the job was secured before we got here.
    I find the drug use and begging alot less then Dublin or Limerick.
    I am coming to terms with the supermarkets and the cost of food!
