OP you didn't sey anything about hotels and oloshos. Don't they have oloshos there for visitors?
Until you're legally married to a man, don't live with him. Visit and go back home so that others can also visit.. |

I agree with most of your take here, but smoking? They do smoke a LOT. I went to school in Norway and they converted me to smoking, took the grace of God for me to stop. pol23: 1.Things are extra expensive, don’t be fooled that your USD is a big deal… price of commodities will shock you…. I had to google their average salary-$5500 monthly.
2.everyone understands and can speak fluent English , but they choose to speak their Norwegian language.
3. Norwegian currency and Swedish KR are kind of the official currency, as I can see some store prices in KR and some in NOK.
4. Food selection is the worst I ever come across in my little traveling experience, it’s so worst I didn’t taste rice for whole trip, because I didn’t see a single restaurant that have rice on their Menu.. RICE
They have different type of snacks to what everyone else have… I really suffer oo.
5.They’re so extra polite and very friendly, everyone I ask for direction took their time to direct me, some will even walk you to a certain distance just to make sure you’re clear.
6. It’s very clean, the city, subway, buses.
7.They dress modest, all those pop culture no really reach here, everyone dress responsible.
8.There’re very few smokers, considering that it’s winter and I can say I didn’t see up to 15 smokers during my stay… And no one was vaping.
I kind of love the calmness of the city… Will I go back to Norway - No. Will I advise you to go - No.
But if you want to go,please carry plenty money for pocket and don’t stay in Hotel.. stay in Airbnb, so you can cook your own food. Even KFC was banned here because of the kind of chicken they use, when you taste Norwegian juice, you can tell it’s juice from fruit and not the sugar we’re used to over here… They take quality of life very seriously I guess. 2 Likes |

The women are beautiful, but I obviously can’t take a picture of a stranger. And even if I do, I’m sure you won’t find them attracting as they’re not half naked.They’re mostly fully dressed down … you can’t see any figure or bosom… I assume they’re reserved.. They drive Tesla and other nice cars, used nice perfumes but I didn’t see above any lady’s knee or below their neck.

Nigeria is not actually cheap. If you want to know how cheap a country is, you need to convert what percentage or fraction of their income is spent on things.. You can't decide by converting the cost to naira.
I would prefer a country where the price of a 50kg bag of rice is #250k when converted to naira if that money is only 5% of my total salary to Nigeria where a bag of rice is cheaper at #65k but represents 50% of ones salary. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

That money (now in giant sized sovereign wealth funds) has already set the solid groundwork for the life chances of Norwegian children whose own parents have not yet been born. Even the UK is envious of how Norway handled its oil boom - compared to the UK's own poor choices. Sensible, prudent, forward thinking. Just visionary Nordic decision making - all round.

pol23: 3. Norwegian currency and Swedish KR are kind of the official currency, as I can see some store prices in KR and some in NOK. the only official currency in Norway is the NORWEGIAN KRONE/KRONER. KR means Krone/Kroner, NOK means Norwegian Krone and in shops they can say both.... Swedish Krona is SEK. so when you see KR it doesnt mean Swedish Krona, it just means "Krone" (and that means Norwegian Krone). unless you are very close to the border of Sweden and SEK would be stated, the major places in Norway dont accept Swedish Krona.... in Oslo/Bergen etc, they wont accept your Swedish money (SEK). ... and you are right about the fact that Norway is one of the most expensive country in Europe, if not the world. 7.They dress modest, all those pop culture no really reach here, everyone dress responsible. BTW the reason they dress modest is because its too damn cold in Norway to be wearing skimpy clothing, but get there in the summer or enter any nightclub and you will see the same madness dressing there, just as anywhere else in the world. 5 Likes |
