Hammerfest is a very small city – about 7000 people. It is on the very north tip of Norway. It might also be good to check out where your family will be living:

The walking-street takes you from Central Station to the Royal Palace.
In Norway, there are still Lefse recipes around from the 1630s! This is supposedly the traditional and original Hardanger recipe used:
Many English words actually come from old Norse language – brought by Vikings to England in medieval times. Here are some words you have probably uttered without realising you are speaking Norwegian!
Not to be a total downer but I once visited Hammerfest on consecutive weekends in the fall. On my first visit there was no snow, it started snowing as we left town. On my visit the very next weekend there was 10 feet of snow that had drifted to 15 to 20 feet in places. Some homes we visited had shoveled holes from their front porch out. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Hello,
Which language would be the best to learn Bokmal or Nynorsk?
Or maybe both but would be confusing?

from L-Jay:
Bokmål. The national Norwegian language learning program is bokmål. Nynorsk is only predominant in a small area in the west.
Hey L-Jay,
Have been reading through every bit of this amazing blog you’ve put up for the rest of the world to educate themselves of the living and earning conditions in Norway. Well, I am from India. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering, and have solid work experience too in the same field. But then, due to the economic conditions in this country, I had to shift to Computing Industry. I am a certified professional with credentials from Microsoft and IBM.
I have been thinking of migrating to European countries, and also have considered Norway. I know this could be a repetitive question, but what field of engineering is more beneficial to my career in Norway? I am comfortable with Computers and also Mechanical Engineering at equal skill levels. Kindly suggest.

The oil industry is the biggest employer of international engineers – that would be your first option. Computer engineers in Norway are a dime-a-dozen.
