Voicy does Norway

Most interesting and awesome thread, Voicy.

The pic of the elk you posted in the earlier pages looks so cool. Have you come in contact with a polar bear and wolf too?

The foods aren't that great compared to home, I'll be honest. I also ate whale meat once, it was...interesting.

Do they have lots of fresh produce? I am a bit of a pawpaw and avo fiend so are they easily available?

Cheers thanks:)

Nah dude, polarbears will ruin your day 6 ways to Sunday. They are prevalent on Jan Mayen and Svalbard, where its not permitted to leave the town boundaries without firearms.

Yeah, loads of veg farms around but most all fruits are imported. The area where I live is also the world's top producer of atlantic salmon, so that's ONE thing that isnt expensive here.

Whats your idea of not expensive? Like say for a piece the size of a hand & 3cm think. Curious how it compares to scottish salmon prices...

Ockie, you were asking about normal stuff in my home town...

Most older homes look quite average and borderline poverty'ish, but it's largely due to all homes being built from wood so quite bland outside, but quality inside. That...and the fact that there is no real poverty class nor upper class. The gap between a blue collar worker and a white collar worker isn't big at all, in most cases blue collars earn quite a bit more than white collars.

This dude's house looks budget from outside, but he drives a Tesla.

This subtle efficiency was quite interesting. Unless you live in a main street, all the houses in the same street place their postboxes on a wall at the entrance to the street. That way the postman just stops next to the road in his caddy and delivers mail to everyone in the street without having to go door to door. Simple, efficient, cheap.

Thanks chaps! And to think exactly a year ago I was working for Eskom, dealing with race cards being played against me and living with my parents. So if I can do it aaaaanyone can.

Looks really cool, keep going !!!

Like your coffee advertisement.

I don't have special skills, but would love to do this (live in Norway).

My friend and his brother just moved to Voss in Norway to produce biltong.

No idea if that's close to Voicy

Oh fantastic!

Voss is quite far south (a good solid 2 days drive) from where I am, but Ive got a bunch of projects right in that area and will be passing through Voss. I'll make a point out of trying to find them!

Don't be lazy..! Visit the official Biltong thread and learn how to make your own :D
 
Great thread. I've been emailing companies in Norway for 2 days straight now.
 
So I've been on the road again for work and since I'm away from home 70% of the time, these views are pretty much my "daily commute" type of scenery.


This was our town at midnight until recently:

You know a country is winning at life when the petrol station is half empty, but the Tesla charging bays are all occupied.

I had to go to a job yesterday and came across this glacier. That perma-ice has been there for a few 1000 years and although it looks small, it's probably around 20-30m thick.

All that sun = equals well tanned it seems (or is that just the camera?)
 
Driving South for a job I drove over Jotunheimen from Lom to Sogndal on what was possibly the most scenic mountain pass I've ever driven, bar none.

Meh. It seems the uploaded file sizes are acting weird. I tried to resize them to fit into MyBB's new frames. Sorry for the oversizing. :/
