Amigans in Oslo?

[MAD]

Hoya!

So, that's it, I finally arrived in Oslo.

But all is not that pink, as usual, I behaved like a complete moron.
I left France without planning anything and now, I am here with next to nothing!

I do have a very good friend who lives here but for many reasons she cannot host me.

As a result, I will spend the night in a youth hostel.

Tomorrow, I will go to the French Embassy to ask them what they can do to help me; actually, I would like to work as an assistant of French like I did this year in England.

Then, while supposing this is ok, I would have to find a flat but since I have around NOK 5500, it WILL be hard!

So, if everyting goes kaputt, I will have to go back to France and face all the people I have disappointed, especially my parents...

As a result, I ask for the help of Amigans from Oslo.

I disgust myself.

I hope it all works out for you MAD.
Recover 'The Scream' while you're in Oslo, and then you'll have no shortage of money ;-)









yes, yes, it will be somwhere else in the world by now, I know. It was humour.

Yikes! Well, remember that it's much cheaper to live in Sweden, than in Norway. At least those 5.5k would get you farther here.
Good luck!

5500 NOK and no certainty of a job  :-o, you're one hell of an adventerous person. Good luck in Norge! Someday I'll live there too :-).

Yikes! :-o

To put it like it is, you're up for a very hard time if you cannot get a job soon...5500 NOK will not get you very far in the worlds most expensive city. (fact!)

I live in Grimstad, which is in the southern part of Grimstad, and would gladly have housed you, but:
1. I'll be moving to Arendal this week.
2. I have a girlfriend and a 10 month old son, so no spare-bed :-(

If you are determined to stay in Norway, I would rather try in some of the other large cities than Oslo, because Oslo is crowded with young people with high hopes for the future, but doesn't know how to get there. In Krisitiansand, Bergen, Trondheim as well as most other larger cities IMHO it will be much easier for you to get a job.

As for any advice to you, I cannot give any, I would have if I could...just hope you manage to pull all the strings necessary. I'll keep all my fingers crossed for you!


Oh! And btw:  Welcome to Norway!!!! Hope you'll enjoy it here, even if it looks dark for you right now..

Why? I wanna emigrate :-)

[odin]

Uhm....'cos I'm sort of an Norwegeophile :-).

Where do you want to emigrate to if I may ask?

[Morley]

Nah...I really don't know.

Guess we are all fed up where we are and imagine the grass being greener on the other side. Holland maybe? dunno..I'm fed up with the cost of everything here in Norway, but then again, we earn much more than most other countries in Europe..

Hoya!

Well, will prolly go back to France in the next days or so... I am so {bleep}ing immature; think I need to see a shrink again...

Thanks for your posts anyway.

Be funky
