narrow roads

by SORHUS

to get to see the beautiful nature in norway u have to drive on narrow road, many tourist forget to keep the car close to their edge of the road , they drive in the middle of the road to see whats around the corner...this is very DANGEROUS because u might get a "car in your face" so pleas stick to your side of the road. Another thing that is important is always look in the mirrow because u might have a quee behind you...we know people like to drive slow on our roads and see the scenary but please find a place to let people pass..its more safe for everyone , many hate driveing behind slow cars and in the anger they might pass you on a dangerous part of the road so lets all help each other to a smooth journey

The North Emirates...

by Tripack

I know it could be strange for a Swiss to say that, but Norway is expen$ive for foreign travellers. Be ready to pay a GST @ 25% :-( Don't forget to ask for a global refund and receive an 11 - 18,5% VAT refund when leaving the country (minimum purchase amount is NOK 310).

Drinking and driving

by wyagi6

Drinking and driving - a definite no-no in Norway. Unlike some countries where the blood alcohol limit allows perhaps one drink, in Norway the limit is so low that it is practically zero. Half a glass of wine will send you over the limit and the fines for breaking the law are so severe it doesn't bear thinking about.Also be wary of driving the morning after a heavy night of drinking. You could still have enough alcohol in your bloodstream to cause you to be over the limit. It's quite common for the police to set up roadside checks early in the morning so think before you drink!

Turn on the lights!

by wyagi6

In Scandinavia, it's a legal requirement to have your headlights on whenever driving. All Scandinavian cars (and a growing number of European cars) have lights that come on automatically when the engine is started. However, this feature isn't common on British cars so if you are coming over from the UK with your car, remember to turn on your headlights - even on the sunniest day!

Watch your speed!

by wyagi6

The speed limits in Norway are much lower than the rest of Europe and are strictly enforced. There is a sliding scale of fines, which relate how much you pay to how much over the speed limit you are. Potentially you could pay several hundred pounds in fines.The police often monitor the traffic, especially during the summer. If you see a sign saying "Automatisk trafikk kontroll" then there are speed cameras in the area. Unlike the UK (for example) where speed cameras have to be made highly visible, the Norwegian cameras are small and difficult to spot. So keep your speed down!

Check your receipt!

by YokuMoku

Another thing you must pay attention is the price. Price labels are often put in a very disorganized way. Your eyes must scour arrays of chaotic price labels before you find the price of the things you want to buy.Grocery stores such as Rema often put "misleading" price labels. For example, you read that the price of one kilo mushroom is 20NOK, so you think "Wow, it is a bargain" and buy tons of them. But when you pay at the cashier, you realize that the price is actually 36NOK, which is more than 2USD difference. Here is another example that I encounter today for Norwegian shrimps. The label says 48NOK per kg, but it turns out to be 69NOK, about 3USD difference. This misleading pricing happens very often at such grocery store. When you point out the mistake, instead of apologizing to you, the grocery store staff just tell you that if you do not like the price, you can just cancel what...

Read the expiry dates!

by YokuMoku

The photo shows Dole rotten bananas sold for 9NOK/1.3USD per kg at Rema in Molde on June 29, 2004. It is quite common for Norwegian grocery stores to sell rotten produce for a "discounted" price. Expired items are often displayed on the shelves and sold at full price. For processed food such as sausages, meat cakes, ham, etc, you can get them for half the price if you tell the store that the items have expired one or two days ago. If you do not let them know, they will charge you full price as if nothing happens. Therefore check the expiry date carefully before you buy. It is not uncommon that you find canned food that expires one year ago still displayed on the shelves. If you shop at immigrant shops, you must be extra careful because you will find more expired items on the shelves. In an Asian store in Oslo, I once found a jar of jam that expired FOUR years ago and still sold at full...

Beware of thieves!

by YokuMoku

Do you think Norway is a safe country? Yes, it is in a sense. You can walk at night without being robbed or shot. But there are thieves in Norway. I have lived in four different countries and never lost so many things as I have experienced in Norway. Let me give you the list of my things that have been stolen:1. Bike in Bo, stolen from locked garage2. Car CD in Bo3. New bike in Oslo, lock was cut off4. Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR shoes at my student apartment in Molde, stolen between Sunday, July 4, 2004, and Monday, July 5, 2004.Unbelievable that such petty theft can happen in Norway where welfare standard is quite high. Yes, it was true that my eight-month old Montrail shoes still looked new because I really took care of them very well. But still it is absolutely ridiculous that this thief stole used shoes. These Montrail shoes are my favorite beloved cherished shoes that had helped...

"Vintage" fruits and veggies! Welcome to Norway!

by YokuMoku

In this picture, you can see uncrisp old apples sold for 21NOK/3USD per kg at Rema. It is very common that you find such old apples and other withered wrinkled rotten vegetables. The more you are away from big cities, the more likely you encounter depressing vegetables at exorbitant prices. Sometimes, I think that Norwegian consumers must stand together and demonstrate against the horrible quality offered by the grocery stores. We must show them the consumer power, but then again, it is difficult to conduct an effective boycott because we have no choice at all. If we stop buying from them, we have no food. These grocery stores know that they have super power in this oligopolistic market. That is why they know that it is impossible for the consumers to demonstrate and demand better quality. Besides, Norwegian consumers are too complacent with the bad quality. You see withered veggies day...

The "glassy" jellyfish

by Saagar

Totally transparent, this jellyfish has so weak and small tentacles that it doesn't burn. But it can be mistaken for a blue jellyfish which does burn, so watch what children are playing with.The glassy jellyfish can clog the beaches at certain times of the year.
