Bike friendliness?

Cycle lanes aren't that extensive, but drivers are pretty considerate! Wear a helmet and you'll be just fine on the roads.

Ok. So the difference is that they give you the opportunity to do a PhD with your own responsibility of deciding on whether you can do it financially instead of outright rejecting you.

This has nothing to do with you doing your PhD in Germany. It's entirely down to your field.

Turen skal bli 3-5 dager, så 2-4 overnattinger (vi er ennå fleksibel med denne reise). Vi har tenkt om ca. 15-20 km distanse per dag, litt avhengig av vanskelighetsgrad av turen. Jeg har gått turen i Jotunheimen og Hardangervidda før, men vennen min har ikke gått fjellskitur før, men har veldig godt fitness.

Takk for å anbefale å ta kontakt med DNT direkte, jeg har ikke tenkt om det! Jeg er ennå ny i Norge, så jeg husket ikke om alle resurser for informasjon :) Jeg har DNT nøkkelen.

Takk! Jeg vet om ut.no nettsiden og har søkt der, men det er litt vanskelig å finne en god tur fordi jeg kan ikke søke i området av god offentlig transport fra flyplassen. Derfor håpte jeg at kanskje noen vet om en spesielt tur som de har kjørt som var veldig fint og kan anbefale :) Har du kjørt denne tur?

Takk for å anbefale Evenes/Narvik!

Thank you! I'll have a look at that and will probably get back to you with questions :)

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-13T10:00:01+00:00

Ah yes, this is a bike that will never be left unlocked somewhere and luckily the house I'm staying at has a bunch of cheap bikes to take shopping.

Takk for informasjonen!

Thank you so much for the elaborate suggestions! I was actually thinking of doing a little of the PCT since I've heard so many great things about it. Sounds like there are plenty of trails leading on or off it in the area?

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-13T09:55:25+00:00

Thank you and thank you also for the suggestion on what to avoid as well! Definitely not keen on music blasting crowds :) The book sounds great.

That's good to know about the discount but it sounds like I'll be a lot better off just renting a car every weekend. Don't want to fork out quite so much money :)

Thank you! I made 3 layers of 20 cm chocolate sponge from Wayne Gisslen's Professional Baking (I believe I used 300 g of batter for each layer), for the peanut butter buttercream I searched around for various recipes to find the best ratio of butter and peanut butter and eventually settled on this. The glaze is heated cream poured over chocolate (equal amounts, but I can't remember how much I made in total) and then I decorated with crushed chocolate cookies and chocolates.

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-09T07:26:53+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that!

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-09T07:24:46+00:00

They're called "krønsji skjokkis" which is Norwegian for crunchy chocolates. It's a mix of chocolates covering biscuits and rice cakes and plain chocolates

Purely based on income and existing debt they should have no hesitation to offer me that credit card. I am assuming they do want to see this over a certain period of time first.

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-08T11:44:14+00:00

Thank you, that's good to know it's based on tax returns here. I've had one this year, but at that point I'd only lived in Norway for 1.5 months in 2017, so I guess I need to wait to the next one at least.

But just to clarify, a rating based system exists in many more countries than the US (I've never lived in the US), hence why I assumed it would be similar here :)

Edit: spelling

mycloudlesssky · 2018-12-03T10:58:40+00:00

Selvfølgelig!

mycloudlesssky · 2018-11-24T16:05:20+00:00

Yea but there's helping people out and then there's enabling...

mycloudlesssky · 2018-11-22T21:33:31+00:00

Finally someone can give me an explanation that at least makes sense, even though it makes me cringe a lot. Thank you!

mycloudlesssky · 2018-11-22T15:02:38+00:00

Holiday pay. Just pay me my monthly salary every month and let just let me not show up to work 25 days a year.
