Do you remember a while ago when we had the www.rxxxxx.se site were you can see the yearly income of any swedish citizen? Well norway's got one too and this one is run by the goverment. They even created rules to make this happen.
So if you know anybody working in norway since begining of last year just surf in to this page type their name and town and voila you'll know how his/her income. Pretty neat huh?
Norwegian people are actually quite open about their salary. Just ask and they'll tell you. No hush hush.
Now that blogspot let me upload picture again, here is some I supposed to post but couldn't.
Giant crab claws
Nostagia candy
Used to eat a lot of those when I was a kid.
Living room in my new flat. Quite roomy.
If you can't fight them, join them.
Don't you hate it when things don't function the way you expected them to? I tried to upload some pictures to this blog the other day but it just refuses to let me. That's the reason why it's been quiet for a while. Yup in the end I just gave up.
Another thing I hate to do is nagging at ppl. I don't think they feel good hearing me nagging and I too feel bad about it afterwards. So it's official, I'll stop nagging.
Anyway I finally decided to part with a small fortune for the sake of my life. I went and bought/changed winter tires today. It was amazing how fast and strutured the guys worked. Done in no time. Now I hope for icy roads muhahahah.
It's done!
Now all my stuff is in my room but I think I need more furniture to host them. =(
It's raining outside and I think I overworked my back. Ouch!
Anyway pic of one of the object "we" moved this weekend.
Moving, too much moving and more moving to come
I finally got out of Brattvåg last fridag. Since we are two ppl moving using my tiny volvo we just brought with us the most important things to go for the weekend. The plan is moving bit by bit this week since we'll be going back and forth everyday to work anyway.
The weather has been nice this whole weekend which is very rare. Not to waste this rare opportunity I went out mountain climbing with some collegue. My image of mountain climbing was a little different from theirs. When they say mountain climbing they do literary mean mounting vertically. Halfway up I was so exhausted that I had to stop and climb back down. Below you can see the path and how far I got. Also what shoes I was wearing (>_<)
One of the collegues was very kind and accompany me down. I don't think I could have made it without him showing the way coz going down is a bit trickier than going up.
Anyway today more moving to do and I must remember to buy more rice coz I'm running out of rice soon.
Empty
Yup it's been quite empty here for a couple of days and the reason is that right now there's a lot thing going through my mind. Also because there hasn't been anything interesting to write about. I'm getting more used to the constant rain that I didn't bother opening my umbrella unless I'm about to get an unwanted cold shower. I'm even getting used to not being able to use our oven coz the previous tenants wrecked it.
Now some piece of information about the Norwegian appartment renting market.
1. Very pricey
2. Mostly private
3. Mostly unfurnished and with unfurnished it's literally unfurnished, no stove and no freezer or fridge.
4. No common washing house like in sweden so you need to get a washing mashine yourself.
5. Deposit is required. Normally 2-3 months rent
Those are the back side. Hopefully I can tell you all about the good side next time. ^^
20 minutes of terror
Yesterday I mustered my courage, lifted the phone and booked me a session at the local dentist. To my surprise, and a bit of horror, they had a free spot today. So today I went to the dentist for the first time in a couple of years. Fortunately almost all my teeth are healthy only 1-2 fillings need to be fix.
And the price? 580 nok for 20mins of examination. It will cost me about 2000 nok later to get those fillings done but well I don't have much choices.
