I have been a huge fan of black metal just about all of my life. I descend from Norwegians and have been particularly fascinated by Windir, Ulver, Emperor, Mayhem and the works of the guys behind Borknagar. Their first album contains my favorite early black metal track, 'Dauden', which to this day lacks a transcription and translation. They have never shared as much for artistic purposes, which I have respected while nonetheless checking every once and while to see if one has popped up online. After 15 years I feel like it's never gonna happen. Can anyone here maybe tell me what one of my favorite songs is all about?

Hey. I noticed that schools are closed on election day. Will shops also be closed on this day?

My move date to Norway is approaching, and my wife and I have an appointment with the Service Center for Foreign Workers (SUA) in three weeks. I might move to Norway a few weeks after this appointment, possibly in late September or early October.

By then, my wife will be in her 27th or 28th week of pregnancy.

I’m seeking information on how she can continue her prenatal care once we arrive in Norway. I’ve also read that there’s a requirement to register with the hospital she intends to deliver at.

Has anyone heard if there will ever be a Season 3? I just finished it and I can't believe it's done now. Im invested and need to know what happens next!

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit worried about my two kids (ages 2 and 5). They’re currently in a small barnehage with around 9 kids in total. Compared to the bigger barnehager, this feels very few.

I’ve been hearing stories that children who come from very small groups sometimes struggle socially when starting 1st grade—things like not having an established group to play with, or even ending up playing alone. And how does this translate further down the line (on the higher grades levels)

To parents and teachers who have experience:

• Does being in a larger group in barnehage help kids “find their place” more easily in 1st grade and further down the line?
• Have you noticed differences in how kids from small vs. large groups adjust socially?
• What were your own children’s experiences like?

I’d love to hear your insights. Thanks in advance!

Mainly looking for point of view of someone who married a Norwegian and moved to settle and/or start a family. No particular city in mind in Norway just general experience from wherever you settled.How would you compare life from london/UK to there? What are some real and actual cultural shocks you’ve experienced? What things surprised you the most and what caught you off guard? When (if ever) did you feel proper homesick and when did you start to feel comfortable and settled in (again, if ever).

Finally - if you had children, what is it like raising them here compared to how you’ve seen children be raised back home? How is the school system like? Would you say it’s better or worse?

This was one of my posts here and looking at insights only 47% of people check it from Norway, mostly Denmark

How often do buses between Aurland, Flåm, Gudvangen and Undredal run? I am having a look at the internet and maybe I am not looking at the right place because I see very few buses a day that would make It very difficult

Hello, I am leaving Aurland on Wednesday for Bergen and currently have Norled Cruise Ship tickets booked.

The ship leaves at 3:30pm which is a bit later than I’d want to leave, primarily because I would be getting in Bergen on the later end. I still have some time to get a refund if I wanted to.

I found an alternative which is VY450 Bus followed by R40 train, pictured above.

I was wondering how on schedule this VY450 bus would be. As you can see there is only 14 minutes to make the train, and I’m worried if the bus gets delayed I won’t make the train. Would you recommend this route?

Thanks in advance!

So I just wanted to make sure when I visit Norway this winter I could view the Northern lights a few people told me to visit Finnmark I even found a company called Pæskatun in Alta that will take to where you can view the Northern lights but the problem when booking to join i have to at least to book for two people I can't book for one person even tho I'll be with strangers on the trip and when I did a little bit of Googling it says Tromsø is the best place to view the Northern lights and when I've searched for hotels and other places to stay some of them a picture of the Northern lights so I don't know which is better, should I go for Tromsø or should I go for Alta?

Traveled in Late June to do a clockwise Trollheimen Signatur. Started at Gjevilvasshytta and soon found myself in hail/wind storm on way over Riaren. Decided to camp out for a bit and then decided to bail at Bardsgarden. Came back this past week to finish and was able to complete a great hike. Got roasted plenty by locals I met in the huts for even attempting the June trip. First six pics are Aug/June comparisons. Will do much better weather research next time.

So just like the title says I'm asking how expensive is Norway? I'm planning to come to Norway during winter and I'm curious how expensive the stuff is like food, water hotels etc

We were on MS Trollfjord and had to move dock during the day due to congestion - and they took the opportunity to sail down into Balsfjord. So glad we stayed on the ship - fantastic scenery!!

I'll be taking a train from Oslo to Bergen to catch a flight from Bergen. It'll be a sleeper train and I should have about six hours time buffer to get to the Bergen airport. Is that enough of a buffer? Are these trains known to be cancelled/delayed? I heard something from a coworker in Norway that suggested this could be the case.

Hi, I have an Autopass tag and created an Autopass prepayment agreement, however I can't understand how to make the prepayment.

The site does not really tell me how, they sent an invoice with the amount "to pay" that includes an IBAN, but it does not give any instructions. Communications with autopass are... kind of slow.

Does anybody know how to do it? The most I could find is this, wich weridly does not include making a bank transfer, I don't have a Norwegian bank , nor do I know what eFaktura is.

Can somebody help?

> When you create an AutoPASS for ferry prepayment agreement and pay an advance amount, you get an AutoPASS ferry account. After each ferry journey, payment – including discount – is deducted from your ferry account.

Prepayments can be made in the following ways:

• Invoice by post (with added fee)
• Invoice by email
• eFaktura (private customers only)
• EHF (business customers only)
• Credit card (business customers only)

Hi all

I've started some research on Norway's involvement in the second world war, in particular I'm interested in the events of the German invasion and the defence of the Norwegian military.

I wondered if anyone here could point out some good books or references pertaining to this period of history, as well as any possible books or references that cover the uniforms and organisation of the army at the time?

I'm ok with both English and Norwegian recommendations.

Thanks in advance to any who are also interested in this topic.

Hi! You might remember me for wanting to do a trip to Jotunheimen one week before the start of the season.

I am back with wanting to do another trip after the end of the season! Aaah the joys of long distance relationships! 😅

My girlfriend is finally able to come visit me in Oslo from the 26th to the 30th of September and we would have liked to go hiking somewhere.

Our original idea was to get a train to Otta and then the bus to the Mysusæter and sleep at the DNT cabin for two nights while hiking around.

I know that is after the end of the season so the cabin will be self serviced. We will bring food our own, but it is my understanding that it is possible to buy stuff inside the cabin as well.

What am I afraid of is the weather, does anyone have any experience with the weather in Rondane around the end of september? Neither of us is really equipped for snow!

There is also the bus problem: because the season is over, there is no bus anymore :D We were thinking of getting a cab then, it's only 15km~, does anyone have an idea of the prices?

Our second proposal was Finse, since we are able to just step off the train and go on a hike, sleep at the hotel. It's less... magnificent than Rondane, but I believe it's a safer option too.

We don't have a car, but for around 1000NOK per day from Avis I think we can afford it if you have some ideas on small tours, although public transport is preferred :)

Ideally, we would leave Oslo Saturday morning and be back in Oslo Monday night.

Thank you so much for reading this!

Hello. Can someone recommend an affordable option for mobile internet. I am looking for a 1GB monthly package. I currently have Talkmore 1 GB for NOK 79 per month but it's not a subscription but a one time data package. Previously, I used to be able to purchase the package and have any remaining balance carried over to the next month if I purchased another package before the end of the month. For some reason, that no longer works. Thus, I have spent more than NOK 800 on mobile internet in the last two months because I used mobile internet assuming I was using my carried over internet balance when it turns out I was actually being charged the pay-as-you-go rate. Thus, I am eager to look for other options. Talkmore's 1 GB per month subscription option costs NOK 175 per month but that's more than I am willing to spend. I am looking for something below NOK 100 for 1 GB per month. Does anyone have any experience with e-SIMs? I have been looking into them but they are advertised as being for travel only so I'm not sure if there is a way of using them continuously while living in Norway as my only source of mobile internet or in the form of a subscription? Thank you for your help and suggestions.
