Just wondering (and maybe this is mostly for °µÍø½ûÇø women), how often have you felt: -- like you've lost sense of who you are -- powerless -- disconnected -- culture shock -- guilty -- sorry for yourself -- lonely During your °µÍø½ûÇø post(s), how ...

When I first took the leap and moved over to Norway I went through all of those feelings on a daily basis, especially loneliness and guilt. My partner (the guy paying the rent and generally most things back then!) would work long hours and I'd be ... Read More

I would advise selling your car if you are intending to stay in Norway longterm as the tax is expensive and awkward to sort, I can't say much as I haven't done it personally but I know people that have brought their own car over and regretted it. ... Read More

Hi All, I've just received a letter from Oslo Kemnerkontor demanding NOK61,558 in backdated tax, including NOK3396 interest on arrears. The letter keeps referring to "unpaid taxes" but doesn't give any detail. I'm unclear if this is income tax or ...

It sounds like a scary amount and I am all too familiar with getting phone calls or letters in Norway saying I have to pay said bill and said interest from a million billion years ago that I just so happen to have no records of anymore! This just ... Read More
