it's pretty expensive to say the least. I live in Norway, everything besides the fjords, mountains and the cold winter weather are small scale.
I make a salary of about 21.500dollars each year right now working as webdesigner and IT specialist for 7 hours each day plus some extra job related work from my home.
sometimes it's cold as ice-hell here during winter period range from september-april(maybe because i'm originally from philippines), so you best get an oil oven or anything around september. for internet services you should get advice from someone localy. I use telenor, it's 100dollars a month for 58mbps broadband adsl. phone services are somewhat complicated, there's a site called: telepriser.no where you can check what's currently being recommended.
you'll notice there's a lot of foreginers, there's even a tv show dedicated to foreginers. people recept foreginers well, depending on what you look like you'll be exposed to racist attitudes in some parts of the society like everywhere else in the world. term for nigger is: negger, asian is: gulling(trans:yellowish), jew is: jøde, gypsie is: sigøyner. when we're at it expect rap and pop to be the casual and popular music, while metal or anything like blues and jazz is for the more music oriented person. expect some certain persons burning flags, bibles and what-not on tv-shows. you might even see gay porn on public television. people critizing u.s and middle east are a handful so be prepared.
the general public has high morals and most people are friendly, helpsome and responsible when needed. almost everyone below the age of 30 has good english abilities, and public servants should be at the same level.
if you're looking for a place to party the best clubs areas are in the capital(ofc). also if you can commute you should do that instead of getting a car(unless you're getting a company-car that is).
took me 7minutes to write this so i hope you'll find this advice helpful.
