The Juice Media are Aussies who deliver truths with a touch of sarcasm and they don't miss with this one. Especially with the election coming up with a multitude of shit options.

Petroganda is a classic term and yes they even used the northern term of endearment hĂŚstkukk.

Yes, Australia is so stupid they do not tax the multinational resource companies.

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.

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!!

Travel Are trains from Oslo to Bergen frequently delayed?

3 Upvotes

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.

Travel Bergen, raincoat and hiking shoes

• Upvotes

Hi, I'm travelling from Italy. On Wednesday, I'm planning to hike from Ulriken to Fløyen, passing by Øvre Jordalsvatnet and Skomakerdiket.

Unfortunately, my waterproof shoes and raincoat have decided not to cooperate (yes, I forgot to test them before taking the flight, but they were fine last year), so I am looking for replacements. Can you suggest any good stores or models?

The temperature is not a problem; I thought it was going to be colder, but I hate having wet feet.

I have already applied an idrofobic spray daily in the past days, which is usually enough for the Italian rain, but not for yours!

Thank you!

EDIT: other solutions are welcomed too, hiking on brand new shoes could not be the optimal solution but I have plenty of tape, and I think that my shoes have a little hole, so water will get in. I read that a double sock setup with a plastic bag in the middle is popular over here 🤯, last resort may be that one

Travel Oslo–Bergen train tickets with Eurail – only paper tickets?

• Upvotes

I’m traveling to Norway next week and need to take the train from Oslo to Bergen. When I try to book through the Eurail Planner app, it only shows paper tickets as available, which need to be physically delivered.

I checked Entur and VY, but their tickets are much more expensive compared to what Eurail shows.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to get digital/online tickets for this route using Eurail, or do I have to go with the pricier Entur/VY options?

Moving Any Brits here who moved from London to Norway permanently? (or even moved back?)

10 Upvotes

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?

Moving Traffic rules.

I have lived in Norway for many years, and I still do not understand how pedestrians pass each other on pedestrian paths. It seems like you should keep to the right, but very often people who are walking towards you keep to the left. So far, none of my Norwegian friends have been able to explain this phenomenon.

School Small vs. large barnehage groups – impact on social belonging in 1st grade?

0 Upvotes

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!

Other WW2 Norwegian Military References

8 Upvotes

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.
