Norway: moving to Norway:

Hello, I am a norwegian citizen and have been living in the US for a long time. I am planning to move back to Norway in August of this year and am looking forward to it. I would have moved back sooner if it wasn't for my husbands work. I know Norway has it's problems; taxes, healthcare, etc. But living here in the US not having healthcare is one of the reasons we are moving home. We couldn't afford health insurance and after giving birth to my youngest daughter in 2007 it financially ruined us becuase of the bill we got for over $50000 after she had to spend 20 days in intencive care. My husband had to be hospitaized ealy last year for two days, another $15000. So now we are packing up the whole lot and moving back. We do have free dental though till you are 18, at least one positive thing*smile* As for friendliness by the norwegians, we have our neighbors over for dinners and family gathering and we chat over the fence all the time. I have been camping in places all over the country and have never had problems finding friends for life. Maybe it is the attitude. I also had some problems in school when I was little, my mother is Philippine so I was teased a lot too but I don't think that is a norwegain thing. I remember moving to a new school and had never had so many students greet me wanting to talk and be friends. I think Norway is a great place to live, it might also depend on were you live. Drammen and Oslo are not places I would want to live though. But Hamar, Bergen or any cities south of Drammen are beautiful and have lots of friendly and nice people! Happy to be norwegain!
