Its nice to put few words about Norway. Today May 21st 2009. Its the 9th day for me at Norway. It is very difficult to know much in nine days about a country. I am sharing a few words of my experience at Norway.
Let me start with food. It is difficult for me to get food I like from office or any restaurant. Mostly I am having fish which is largely available every where. The way of preparing food is litle bit different than our region(Bangladesh or Indian sub continent). We like to have hot spices. Here Noweigian's put very litle spice, some times they put cheese. But it is tasty. Rice is available every where. We get Corn Flakes, lots of fresh fruits, Chicken is also available but I don't have it as it is not Halal, but according to my colleagues its good. Egg and bread also available for breakfast.
As I have stayed only two days at my apartment , I have less experience with preparing food at home. But during the two days at Apartment I have very good cooking experiences. We get most of the Masala(Spice) which is mainly imported from India or pakistan. Halal chicken , beef and fresh fish also available but it is very expensive. So I can prepare any food we like. That means at Oslo , if anyone knows how to cook food, then food is not at all a problem. We use electrical heater to cook.
The Norwegians are really good and helpful. They are bit reserved but they helps people who seeks. They lead good life. Most of them marry and take care of their childs. Some of them do not believe in God but there are peoples who have good religious knowledge. They do not disturb people who wants to follow their religion. They enjoy almost whole night of Friday and Saturday. Office timing is mostly 9 to 4.
Transportation is good here. Buses are very deciplined in terms of time is concern. Tickets can be purchased with automatic machine from Bus stop and also inside bus.
Thanks for being with me.
Keep your eyes open to know more......
