Personal comments

It´s amazing how all the people there speaks english, even old people speaks english. Nothing compared with Spain. And they don´t have any problem in speaking english to you, and also they don´t demand you to learn norwegian although I think is a nice thing to do and also is kind with them and respectfull with your host country and population.

There were some tax-free shops. And also some student discounts in buses or books... And we had IKEA so the forniture and stuff like that wasn´t really a problem.
