I know that it' s an american site but as there is lot of fans from all over the world, I want to know if there is a nordman because I want to go to Norway next year and I'm interested to speak with an "innbygder"...

I'm a norwegian. And I think there are at least two others. King of Men and Trondheim.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

I'm not from Norway, I'm from Bergen.

I'm almost 100% norwegian.

Posted by Lille Mu (Member # 7115) on :

Super !
Is anyone of you from Trondheim ? ("Trondheim", I guess, but he didn't answer)

Posted by Lille Mu (Member # 7115) on :

Nobody, really ?
I wanted to have some advice about the city, the life in Trondheim, etc...

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

My parents lived there before I was born; it seems that's the closest the board gets. The best advice I can give you, though, is to move to Bergen instead. Bergen has the great advantage that toothbrush mustaches are not considered sexy (either on men or women). And, of course, we don't drink karsk.

Long live Sweden!

Hehe... I got to live in Sweden for a month back in '95 with my best friend from high school who was an exchange student from there. Awesome place. Go Scandinavia.

Hei !
Thanks for advice King of men but I think that it rains less in Trondheim than in Bergen, no ? (they don't sell umbrellas in the train station !!!) And I've allready chosen and as I go there as an exchange student, I can't change.
Have you not any serious advice ?!

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Well, where are you exchanging from? Your name seems moderately Scandinavian; if so, well, one place is much like another. If you're coming in from outside Scandinavia, the best advice I can give you is to be prepared for a shock on the price of beer, much less karsk. In fact, you might want to go teetotal for a year or so.

In fact, I'm french. I choose this name from the Mumin books by Tove Jansson but I had only the french translation that's why it's not the right writing (which is I think : Lilla My or something like that). I know that prices in Norway and all Scandinavia are horribly high that's why I'll stay only 5 months...
