  • Around 30 % of inhabitants of Oslo own a car. The rest rent one when they need to and otherwise do fine without.

    But you are focused on the biggest cities. Living there is expensive. I live a while out and commute in several times a week, but walkability and ability to live without a car can vary a lot the further from the bigger cities you get.

    Having recently moved back to where I’m from in Norway, I was at first surprised at how much more multi cultured the smaller city has become in the last few decades, so I’d expect you should mostly not need worry, but sadly I can not guarantee you’d never experience being looked at as an outsider. You might experience it more from being a US-ian than from not being blond and blue eyed, though.









  • I have a 20GB subscription for just under €30, but I normally use just over 10, so I have around 30GB at the start of every month.

    Even if ran by many of the same companies, prices have always been higher in Norway than in most of the rest of the continent, both because of the more complicated infrastructure, but also because we sadly are willing to pay more. Cheaper brands appear all the time by renting the bigger companies infrastructure, but they never last long, so I’ve opted for a little more expensive to not have to switch out operator once a year. So yeah, I’m part of the problem.
