    I imagine you do get tired of seeing models of yourself in tourist shops.

    PS Did you find some nice bridges to live under?

    You get Viking style jugs of beer in the pubs, gar. The pubs were heaving last night.

    I got a glass wine it cost me 140 Nok, about £12! But it was a rather fine Pinot Noir, it’s only pricey if you buy in public houses restaurants etc, buy it in the supermarket it’s the same price as you’d pay in tesco’s, seriously. I’m usually in the UK often enough to import my 3 litres get back home sit out on the balcony and admire the view, life is tough. Almost lunch time! The work shy %”£%£$”£ the lot of them I tell you…

    Troll, there can be no question about it; in the short time I’ve been here I’d say Norwegians enjoy a superior standard of living than their UK counterparts. You can live in the country and pay London prices for your food so you don't feel left out. Our home out here is like something out of Ikea, everything in it's place and place for everything. Air feels clean, everything is green, the local gym seems to be the moutain behind the town for many of the locals. I walk up struggling for breath while the cycle past me…

    I'd also say the Norwegians are way more relaxed in the work place than the UK, have met up with other expats and they generally have the same opinion, sometimes the relaxed attitude is found to be annoying. I don't know myself I think I could adapt
