Norway is no friend of the USA or Israel! i like norway, am no friend of world arrassers to As a native NOrwegian livivng in Romania I only want to affirm the reality in your wiev. Reiaiodiat

It`s sad you can`t fit in and feel you are welcome in my country. I know many people have a problem to feel they are welcome here, specially in the beginning. Many Noregian think at least those from abroad should learn the language. And they don`t know that Norwegian is a very difficult language to learn for many nations. But also many people coming from another country are not open minded to learn our culture. And that is a part of moving to another country and should be exiting and interesting. I hope you will enjoy your Norwegian life better after a while. Try think about what is better here than in Belgium.. something is better :-) And try take action to speak with people, most of us will welcome you when they get to know you. I know you are struggling, but don´t give up. We can seem a bit locked, but many of us like people from foreign countries and think its interesting :-) Maybe you ahve met wrong persons? :-)

Im sorry i disagree With you i have come from England to Norway in 1994 iv had a fantasic job well 2 iv got 2 houses 2 cars 3 moter bikes al taxed and iv payed all my tax all since iv been in Norway and the People are great so is the country, so come every body its a great Place. But you must learn the Language. guest Oct 17, 2011 07:27 Hi Jonty, Sounds like you have had some seriously bad luck in Norway, but as an impartial observer I cannot say that any of your experiences really come across as an objective analysis of Norway in the least bit. Expat resentment? > The same as in any country. Taxation systems that lessen your earnings? > Very few countries don't. Looks like you got a bad gig in life there, excuse the pun, but I fail to see how any of what you have written will be useful to anyone going to Norway that is not a travelling street performer. > Nor do you actually touch on what life is like outside your hang up's with the tax system and how isolated you feel. After all this I wonder why the heck you stayed in a country for 22 years. > when you are obviously not a good fit for it and hold no punches on how much you hate it there. >
