I used to visit...

Re: Looking at possible move to Norway....or Iceland.....

I understand the sentiment but surely some thought needs to be applied to the process? If not why not move to Nigeria or India instead of Norway for example ? To me one of the advantages of the BE...

Re: Looking at possible move to Norway....or Iceland.....

I am still curious though, what is it about your perception of life in Norway that is...

Re: Looking at possible move to Norway....or Iceland.....

Best of luck. It is hard to give any advice of observations without knowing what someone is moving from, or a bit more detail. I had considered moving to Malmo at one point, and do have experience...

Re: Looking at possible move to Norway....or Iceland.....

Re: Looking at possible move to Norway....or Iceland.....

The language issue I agree is always an interesting one, not always that easy to pick up a foreign language, especially the older one gets. I watched a show the other day that used the American...
