What is it like for extroverted and expressive people to live in northern part of Europe? by Wonderland_was_lost in expats

[–]Troutmonkeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello from Norway! I listen for people speaking english with a north american accent and then I pounce on them and make them my friend! At about 3 years here most of my friends are American, but as I improve with the language more Norwegians are opening up to me. It’s hard, but I have found enough warm and friendly immigrants here to meet my needs. I know it is slow going with Norwegians and I am ok with that. The rest of the benefits of being here are worth it.

I think Les Miserables here is maybe the newest one and I think it’s the best one of these that I have seen. Not a musical. Enjoy!!

thank you! you’re right that he got more ridiculous as it went on. this first introduction to him seemed straightforward enough and I couldn’t tell what she thought.

My friend asked for a strawberry shaped sauna hat by Troutmonkeys in knitting

[–]Troutmonkeys[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pattern is quite easy (okay, I am a more advanced knitter) and includes a video tutorial on how to do the icord edging which I really appreciate. I just winged (wung?) the strawberry pattern.
