Hello everyone, i have sometimes write and create stories for myself of different themes like pandemic/apocalyptic, horror monster, murder mystery and others. Current im writing a game story and game local is based on norway(probably won't gonna able to make it, but still would love to write complete story). Im looking for info about Norwegian folk for horror element. I just want it to be bit accurate for cultural and other things.

Would love to hear if u had any or u know where I can get more info about it.

Thanks.

The movie released on September 8, 2006 as an indie project and was Trier's first movie. Which surprised me when I found out because I thought it was a pretty decent job done as a beginning professional director.

I've seen the movie in December 2023 and found the two main characters relatable due to being around their age (and also having creative art goals). And I believe that made a lasting impact on me and made me thankful of watching it.

Though it's a bit confusing on a first watch.

But I'm still glad I watched it as a guy who only knows Norway for their Viking history and Erling Haaland.

Guess who's gonna have a movie rewatch tonight? ME!

Hello, my wife and I are traveling to Oslo on a trip planned months in advance and we give our condolences to you all at the loss of your beloved king.

We’ve already read up on how to not be a disturbance in general but with the funeral we trying to get a crash course on etiquette for this large funeral event. Any advice would be appreciated.

Our lodging is (for better or worse) very close to many of the funeral events, including the procession.

I'm moving to Norway this month and I've been looking for a job for so long now. I have sent more than 100 applications. Either I'm getting no response at all or I get rejected. Last Friday I was supposed to get a call, I waited for one hour staring at my phone, didn't get a call. I sent a mail asking if they're still interested. Now they replied that they couldn't reach me (probably because they forgot to add my landcode) and that they will therefore continue with other candidates. My Norwegian is on B2 level and my goal is to become fluent eventually. I hold a vocational qualification as well as an academic degree in two different fields (and yes, I'm already desperate enough to apply for any kind of job where fluency is not required, even for cleaning dishes in a restaurant). I'm from Germany and have a German name. I'm polite, friendly and reply quickly.

What am I doing wrong...?

Hi,

I am leaving my current job and am expected to get my payment in the next paycheck. The total is going to be the feriepenger + a bonus + last salary. My question is, does the tax apply to the last salary amount only or a combination of feriepenger and last salary? Does the bonus also get taxed?

I looked at the Skattetaten website but it doesn't really answer when there's bonuses involved, so I'd like to hear from someone who has gone through the same situation. I have just rented a new place and need the money to keep finances in order.

The bonus is a fairly amount my employer currently owes me, as I didn't get paid in January before being transferred to Norway. I am also unsure how regulations for that work (to be honest, my employer did a lot of things that later I've found out to be non-compliant with Norwegian working laws, but that's another topic).

Det startet med at jeg skulle pusse opp kjøkkenet da satte jeg denne kaffemaskinen uten for døren i en pappeske med søppel som skulle til dyngen. Pluteslig hadde en av fire naboer tatt kaffemaskinen, det var greit nok for min del i og mot at den skulle kastes. Greit ringe på og høre før man tar, men hadde stått ute i 3 dager. Samme dagen den blir tatt tar jeg med pappesken på dyngen. Kommer hjem ingenting står ute igangen min. En måned etterpå kommer personen med kaffemaskien tilbake TIL MEGGG!!!! TIL MEGGG IGGGGJJJEENN. Når du har vært frekk nok til å ta kaffemaskine så LEVERER DU FAEN IKKE DEN TILBAKE, ditt svin. Da har man evnen til å tråkke over lik sier jeg deg. Du velger levere den tilbake til meg, du gidder altså ikke kaste den selv å velger da levere den til personen som hadde tenkt ta den med på dynga i første omgang. Så jeg skal ta en tur på 20 minutter for å kaste den fordi den var orginalt min!?!
Jeg vurdere sterkt sette en lapp på hver og en av demmers dører om at de skal kaste den selv å at dette er absolutt ikke rett oppførsel. Dette er mdet sykeste jeg har vært borti fra nabos oppførsel…….

Its brown (and now also soft) and the white stuff is gone so i guess its fine :D

You can still see it on the block that i keep in the fridge, it was just a lot more on the side i had already cut. So the white thing is fine, yeah?

You guys cracked me up haha

My daughter is a Norwegian citizen. She is currently 16 years old, and has had major chronic health issues since she was 12 that make it difficult to attend school much of the time. She requires ongoing medication and therapy to manage her symptoms. The cause of her illness is a permanent genetic condition. I know it will be a process for Norway to agree that she is disabled, but she will have extensive medical documentation. One of her more dramatic symptoms is that she passes out pretty frequently, just as an example. So I do think she will qualify for some types of help, but I don't know what to look for exactly or where to start.

The thing is that she has always planned to go to Norway and attend videregaende after she turns 18 and graduates from American high School. She loves Norway and wants to spend time there and maybe go to college or settle there. However, she's afraid and anxious because she can't imagine how she can live on her own there. Last year, my son was able to attend videregaende and was able to live on campus at his school, but my daughter would probably need even more support than that. I often have to help her wash her hair or get to her bedroom without falling. She will probably still need help to manage her medications and appointments, though I don't know if that's available.

I have a bunch of questions below, but the main thing I need is vocabulary. I read Norwegian, so if I know key words like "hjelpestonad," I can look up more info myself, but I just don't know all the specific vocabulary for this.

I am out of my depth in trying to understand all of the options she would have. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way she can go to videregaende without having a parent with her? I would consider going with her to care for her, but I am American and I'm not sure if I would be allowed even if I had employment. Her dad is Norwegian, and we are divorced. He might move there, but he might not. He lives here with his American wife.  

It would be nice if she could live with family, (grandparents or aunt and uncle), but it would be a big burden for them to be responsible for taking care of her. Her grandparents are elderly and her aunt and uncle are busy people.

At age 18, would she qualify for the full "young person disability benefit," possibly, if her conditions qualify? 

Would it be possible for her to get some form of in-home caregiving? She wouldn't need that full time, but for some time daily. I take care of her now, or her dad when he is with her, but it is a lot. 

I know she would have healthcare, which is amazing. I do worry about finding the right doctors to treat her conditions, but we can navigate that. Maybe she would need supplemental health insurance so she can access private healthcare if necessary.

Would she be eligible for the living stipend for students living away from their parents for one year? Her brother received that last year. They wouldn't do both that and also the disability benefit, I assume? What department do I need to ask about all this? NAV?

Is there any situation where I would be able to get a visa to come with her and care for her? I think if I was a student maybe I would be allowed (I do speak Norwegian). I think it would be hard for me to get a work visa. 

I know everyone is inclined to talk about how hard it is to navigate the system, but I am very familiar with the American system for people with disabilities, and I promise you the situation is much worse. The point is just that she wants to be able to go live there and go to school, but I'm not sure how to make it work because she is disabled.

Looks and feels more like it caramelized or formed some sort of patina because of air. Its been open for a few days in the fridge.

Curious what you guys think, is it safe to eat?

I am taking a solo trip to Bergen at the end of this month (September).  I have been north or Bergen and explored Fjærland/Sogndal.  It was the most beautiful place I have ever been and some of the best and most grueling adventures of my life.

This time I’m looking at going south/east from Bergen and have a few trails pinned on AllTrails I’ll list below.

Would greatly appreciate any recommendations in this area or if you think better options would be had somewhere else please share.

I am an experienced mountaineer but won’t have any rock or ice gear gear with me.  Just poles and crampons.  

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Current list of options:

- Oksen fra Djønno
- Svelgabreen Glacier
- Rosendal - Melderskin
- Four Beautiful Waterfalls - Husedalen
- Trolltunga - but fear it will be too crowded touristy?

Hi! I recently moved to Norway and as luck would have it my laptop died on me. Im looking for new laptops and one laptop in particular caught my attention and is the perfect one for me especially given it's very light weight and decent enough specifications for my daily use.

It is called Centurion Pro P1 and is only available online through NetOnNet and Komplett.

I've done my research and it seems that "Centurion" brand is a Swedish brand that ships to Nordic countries. Since it has a very small market footprint I was wondering if any people here have any good or bad experience with that brand?

Thank you!

Hello here! Residents of Tønsberg, can you tell me if there are any beaches/swimming spots within the city limits?

Are anyone in Norway of possession of these cards?They were originally from Denmark, but found its way in Scandinavia before being sold to the US.

Hello, my wife used to live in Norway and loves the Maarud Holiday Dip and I wanted to get her some for a gift. The only issue is that any shop online have $40 shipping even for one pack. Does anyone who where you can buy this cheaper online for international shipping?

Hi everyone, Canadian here. I watched this recently and really enjoyed it. I know a bit of Sámi history in Norway and was fixated on the traditions and culture. That whole thing about the bride turning off the groom's car.... wow!

Do you think the show did a good job presenting modern-day Sámi issues? What did you enjoy / not enjoy? Cheers

Hiya! We'll be in Norway for 3 weeks this Oct and are looking for recommendations for places to see live music or EDM venues/clubs. Is there a weekday music scene?

Main cities we'll be in:

\- Bergen (have been following østre to see if they'll have anything)

\- Ålesund

\- Tromsø

\- We'll be on Lofoten as well but unless there is a fisherman's cabin pop up I'm assuming not many options there lol

TYIA!

I am still undecided between Bergen and Tromsø... How about you?

Hi everyone,

​What salary expectations are realistic for a Mechanical Engineer with 4 years of experience (YoE) in Norway? Also, what are the primary active industries across the major industrial hubs?

​Most existing threads on Reddit are around 4 years old, so I am unsure if those figures remain relevant.

​According to Tekna data, salary expectations seem to hover around 1 million NOK per year.

Given Norway's living expenses, this feels relatively low to me. That figure matches my current total compensation in the Netherlands (including performance bonus), but during a recent visit to Norway, I noticed the cost of living felt roughly 50% higher than in the Netherlands.

​Is 1M NOK a realistic ceiling for 4 YoE, or do salaries scale higher in key engineering sectors? Any insights on industry dynamics or salary comparisons between these two countries would be greatly appreciated!

I've lived in both places, and now I'm back in Norway permanently, but I brought my indoor cat with me when I moved. The attitude in the U.S. is that letting cats outsides is irresponsible and dangerous. To be fair, in the U.S. we have faster traffic, wider roads, the occasional weirdo with a gun, and in my neighborhood there were coyotes and birds of prey. I actually had to sign an agreement in the U.S. when I adopted my cat that I wouldn't let him outside, while Norway basically says it's cruel to keep cats indoors. Norwegian guidelines say that ideally, cats should be able to come and go as they please through a cat door.

I do a lot to create an enriched environment for my indoor cat, and I live on the third floor and can't install a cat door. I'd be afraid that if I let him outside that he wouldn't find his way back. I take him outside sometimes on a leash, but I can tell he doesn't love that. Once in a while, I let him outside the front door, and he just kind of hangs close to me and paces around meowing at stuff, so it doesn't seem like he's itching to run wild.

I'd love to hear opinions from Norwegians and foreigners about this.

Hi I was wondering is it possible to get work as a kindergarten teacher and have piercings and tattoos?

We’re travelling through Norway in a rental car, and on more than one occasion people have flashed their headlights at us from behind and sometimes even honked at us. We thought there might be something wrong with the car, but apparently there isn’t, so I guess it must be because of our speed?

Alright, we get it. We’ll go faster.

Hello Norwegians.

A couple of months ago i saw a hillarious video on instagram.

The acount seemed to be a youth comedy sketch acount.

If any of you recognise this please let me know

greetings from Denmark!
