Trains

Just a little fact.
on long distance trains you can put the seat back so it's more comfy -like in the car.
and you have the opportunity to plug your headphones in and listen to radio or so while travelling.
Impressive much?:)

Mobile apps

Important and useful applications to have:
NSB- you can check train times and buy ticket as well.
RuterBillett- to buy ticket but i dont really use that. I use NSB to check train times and i use RuterReise to check the bus times.

Oyster

Yeah im posting random updates but when i think of something i wanna write down before i forget.

so not oyster but travelcard.

it is indeed expensive :(((

I thought it will be cheaper here than in london.

Monthly travel card (reisekort) costs 1210kr which is around 100 pounds or so.

but its funny coz again like 80% of ppl have their tickets and travelcards on their mobile phones so just show the phone to the driver.

Today im taking the express bus to oslo from the house which should be 30mins so its fast.

So funny, we stopped at a stop and before we left - turns out we were about to get on the high way- everyone put on their seatbelt around me so of course i followed lol.

SAFETY FIRST:)

Its so great that everyone speaks english....

....and by everyone i mean everyone!!!!
I dont even ask them anymore if they speak english i just start talking coz i know they do.

Im starting my intensive norsk kurs on the 6th of july. 3 weeks and 4times a week so it will be good.

And then home and paris for 2 weeks yay

And after that i better get a proper job with my norwegian knowledge and all:)

You know you are in Norway....

....when you go on Tinder and every second guy's picture is either hiking or skiing haha.
it is really pretty here.. i am actuallt looking forward to having my own place and start my life here.
i was driving today and it was fine so i will be okay lol.
it reminds me of the states, but of course coz thats where i was living and driving and it just made me feel free.
it doesnt really give me the same feeling now, but then again, i've only been here for a week. Not only.
I know its a pretty good achievement that i am in this foreign country alone basically and im going after everything, getting it all sorted.
But i guess this is how i am, i mean i adapt to moving and new environment quickly.
Its one thing that i dont feel at home yet and its weird but im just going with the flow like always, and the road will take me where i suppose to be.

uk and usa is here

Okay. So the good things are that we have loads of UK shows on tv and also we have loads of US shows on tv.
Old ones but still its Ellen and all:))). Yaayyy

And there is boots here and 7eleven:))

Today i drove in oslo a bit and back from there so driving is okay as well.
M is doing her finals and im gonna start babysitting tomorrow.

Updates before i forget

So there is Boots here yayyy and also the english mustard i love so much. Lol
not big things but hey, after spending almost 4yrs in london i do miss things.
i actually miss that it was huge w lot of places to go to however my sister pointed out that i hardly really went haha. True story:)
Also there is subway as well which is good and 7eleven gosh last time i was there it was in the states!! Gotta check them all out.

I took 2 online test and both said i need to go on the B1 course which is intermediate so its good.
i actually do remember more then i thought i do and at times its not like i need to struggle to put a sentence together but words just flow easily so its great.

I do feel i will be a bit lonely once i hv a job and move to my own place but thats when my life here will really begin and we will see.

First days

Okay so i've been here for 2 days now..
first day i did nothing was just browsing on the net and registering my cv and applying for jobs.
today i went to the NAV to start the D nummer process what you need to open a bankaccount and basicalt you just need it anyways. After 6 month this should be changed to personal number and for residents its national id or something like this :)
It will take 3 weeks to get it and when i go back i can register as jobseeker and maybe go to some course (kurs) or praksisplass.

I have mixed feelings. Right now i feel like i dont wanna be here i wont be happy but i know i will its just the beginning.
its harder then london coz i dont have friends here and i stay w my aunt who is very nice but its diff then to be w friends.
i feel lost and i cant find my place but i know it will be fine.
i just feel alone without friends and family, my close family.
but i will get there...i hope i will enjoy it more and more.
