Where are you TEFing from?

[Bogus Dave]

I'd love to go to Norway. The Norwegians I knew at UNi were mental. I reckon if I save up for the next few years, don't get a car and carry on living at home I can afford a blinding weekend

Back in Swindon from Tampa, off to Holland on Wednesday.

I was about to say that this thread has become like a dick waving contest

In recent weeks I have TEF'd from Berlin but that's about as good as it gets.

it's only expensive if you plan on staying in a city and eating/drinking out or if you plan to do any of the touristy thingies. If you're here in the summer you want to get out of the cities and into the forests and mountains, which is very affordable if you use cabins that belong to the Norwegian Trekking Association, £15ish a night in a shared dorm or £30ish for your own cabin. Trains are cheap, you can get a return from Oslo to Bergen for about £60 travelling in first class. I'm doing a 17 hour train journey next week to the north, above the arctic circle, which was about the same price.

It's a shame Norway is such a horribly depressing place to live for the other 9 or 10 months of the year.

Hijacking the thread a bit here.

Sonic, I take it you have learnt Norwegian (unless you grew up there?) The reason I ask is that I was wondering what techniques you used and what help you had as I am trying to teach myself a new language and i'm rather struggling.

As much as I get some nice places to go to for work, I also get some god awful ones too.  And at the end of the day, it's work.  Sounds great fun, often isn't, like most jobs.

[Saxondale]

As above.  Last couple of weekends Ive been paid to work at Glastonbury and Barcelona.  But now Im in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Newcastle over the next 4 days.  Not so glamorous.

I'm at home, working, in my underwear, there's an image for you all on this fine morning

I did courses over a few months. It helps a lot being surrounded by the language you're learning as well as having people to practice with. I doubt I'd have been able to learn Norwegian without living here.

Waving my tiny pecker from NYC again.

Went to see the Lion King last night and it was absolutely fantastic. Nearly punched a Norwegian bird when she tried to sell me a spare ticket for $300. The top price ticket was $170.  I thought all Norskis were already rolling in cash?
