I would like to hear from someone who has re-located to Norway (Stavanger) for work. What challenges to get along with social system? schooling, health care, language etc..I know the living expense is 30% more than UK... any tips to save money while I am new to the place?Any suggestions/comments will be highly appreciated

I was backpacking there some years ago.Stavanger is a big village, meaning that its nothing like cosmopolitan or stuff.Health care, education and in general anything that is related with social - public service is amazing.People tend to leave to oslo or stockholm looking for a bit more of excitement.In my experience, housing is the most expensive increment compared to the UK by far and away.

HiThere is (in my humble opinion) a great Asian supermarket in the Kvadrat (the big shopping mall in Forus).I'm sure that you would find most of what you want there.

How good is the consultancy market in Norway?
