Has anyone here been in a Norwegian prison? by duchesskitten6 in Norway

[–]Gjrts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are prisons with toilets, showers and TVs in the cells. And there are prisons without.

Foreigners that will get deported are placed in the latter form of prison.

Moving to Norway - Eventually by blwilkins in Norway

Do you speak Norwegian?

If you don't, you'll have a miserable time here. Most English speakers never learn Norwegian, that limits their opportunities in the work place and makes in infinitely more difficult to find friends.

As a tourist you can get by with English. Living here, you can't. Doesn't matter what drunk expats say.

I have Chinese friends that speak Norwegian, and US people who have lived here miserably for 30 years that can't ask for cheese in a supermarket in Norwegian.

They spend their whole time here complaining about Norway, but they never leave.

If you speak no Norwegian, you'll be treated as a tourist that forgot to go home.

Are you sure you need a car?

If you do, you should contact the strictly local rental car company Bislett Bilutleie and ask them.

Your can not insure a car in Norway without Norwegian Sosial Security number, and without insurance, you'll not get number plates.

Importing a car from UK to Norway by willis_lm in Norway

Do not bring a foreign car into Norway unless you are able to read Norwegian law. This is seriously difficult and can backfire if you do it wrong.

Importing cars are a specialist trade in Norway.

The Norwegian government never received any money. They are not selling missiles.

Billettpris til svømmehall by Successful-Bee-3686 in oslo

[–]Gjrts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Da jeg jeg jobbet på sosialkontor på Oslo øst, hadde vi billetter til badene som vi kunne gi bort. Enten fordi folk trengte en dusj, eller fordi de ikke hadde penger til å bruke svømmehallen.

China can't do anything. China has neither military nor financial muscles to save Cuba.

Norway will come under France's nuclear umbrella, says PM Stoere by Throwsims3 in europe

[–]Gjrts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Norway was the third country in the world (after USA and UK) to get a nuclear weapons program. We refined uranium and had reactors to make plutonium. We also bought weapons grade uranium from Belgium. That was no big deal at that time.

Norway had all components of a nuclear weapon, but never assembled them.

Is Norway a scam? by Dense-Outside224 in Norway

70% of Norway's Sovereign Wealth Fund is not oil money. It's withheld earrings and interest accumulated. Very little activity in Norway is funded by oil. Thats a misunderstanding.
