Norsko 2010 - Oslo

by qquest111

Oslo je hlavní křižovatkou tras v Norsku, hlavním přístavním městem a hlavním turistickým místem. Zejména proto je tu také centrum všeho dění, včetně cíle mnoha přistěhovalců. To lze poznat téměř jako v Londýně na každém rohu, kde jsou ruzné pro nás nezvyklé etniky od klasických černochů, přes muslimy, indy a další různé kultury. Je to země velmi vyspělá, její HDP je pro nás velkým vzorem a zatím současně také utopií. Jejich ceny i platy jsou zhruba stejné jako u nás, jen ten kurz vychází cca 3,2,- Kč/NOK :-)Takže on ten chleba tady stojí 26 NOKů taky, akorát si to člověk musí v hlavě vynásobit. A nebo na druhou stranu občas lepší nepřepočítávat. Je tu drahé všechno. Hlavně ubytování. Jedna noc v hostelu přijde v přepočtu cca na...

Reasons to visit Norway

by adema29

If you like sceneries and history I can understand why you're coming in Norway.The sceneries here are unique and breathtaking. You'll find also some relics from the late history (middle age and modern period.I wouldn't reccommend you to come here for architecture.Usually, for architecture you'd rather choose Italy or Spain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, isn’t it?!

Going to the kindergarten in Norway

by adema29

I was impressed to see now, in 21st century, that somewhere in that crazy World, the six yrs. old kinds are going unaccompanied to the kindergarten.I still remember that it was the same in Romania only (!) 35 yrs. ago. I have stopped my car in Sola in Rogaland, one year ago, only to follow with my sight the small group of kids with their push-bikes in a rainy morning, going at their “job”.

Nice beaches and skerries

by nyperose

It all depends where in Norway you are planning to go. It the southern part it can be very sunny and mild in October. Oslo has a microclimate and is pretty much protected compared to other places.The southern part of Norway has beautiful beaches and skerries where you can swim out directly from the cliffs. The water temperature can rise to about 22 degrees during hot summers.Kids love to fish crabs on the beaches. They attach an open mussel to a string and collect the crabs in a bucket. Afterwards they let them out in the sea again. This activity keeps the children busy while the parents can have a nice time reading and sun-bathing. I wonder if this is usual in other countries?

Road trip Across Norway & Sweden

by AWanderingViking

My 2 teens and I, (their 52 yr. young mother), just spent a month in Norway and Sweden with our rental car. We enjoyed all the hostels and B&B, and hotels. Loved the hike to the waterfall above Flaam. The camping cabin was a wonderful experience. If sleeping in hostels: family rooms are great, bring your pillow, sheets and blanket, : then buy a set of dishes, cups, flatware, & pan at a local store (your souviners!). The car ferries are worth the money. You don't have to drive the boat (avoiding hours on narrow roads). I did live in Norway over 20 years ago. Some has changed, but the best part remains. Enjoy the weather. We saw Bergen in the rain. Weather has never stopped me. It's just a great opportunity for fantastic, one-of-a-kind pictures and adventures. I LOVE driving a vehicle in Norway and Sweden. I've done it in all types of weather and seasons. Just remember, you CAN"t go fast....

Closingtimes

by Maria_75

Welcome to the country with many strange rules... ;) Many of the closingtimes can be a bit confusing, so I will try to give some general tips.- Supermarkets:They normally have to close at 20, but the last years many have been able to have open untill 23. On saturdays many close at 18 (sometimes 21), and sundays they are closed. BUT (now comes the funny part) if the store is less than 100m2 they can have open untill 22 every day, including sundays... The chain called Bunnpris have mostly stores like this, and some others too. - Buying alcohol:Stores can not sell alcohol after 20 on a normal weekday, and after 18 on saturdays, even if the store is open longer. On holidays and electionday (!) they can't sell it at all. Some days that come before a holiday, they can only sell alcohol early in the day, (until 13-15). Normally they put up signs telling you when you can buy alcohol. Especially...
