Welcome. As a personal aside, I'm in exile in the CZE, but for the last year have been trying desperately to get back to Norway, where I used to live, where my heart is and has always been and which I speak the language of. So far I've not been able to secure a job there...guess too old now...and it being the most expensive country in Europe, unless one makes a living there [great salaries and benefits], a poor person like me can't even step foot there for more than a few weeks. I still have many friends and contacts there, used to live there and never thought I'd leave...and never should have....ah life.... Even this horrible event doesn't deter me. It is by far the most beautiful of European countries, if one likes Nature and the people are very special. Winters are dark and dismal, summers with midnight sun. When I lived there, it really did feel like a safe, sane and distant corner of the Earth. Prices are insane if one is not earning there. One night at a hotel [cheap one] would cost what I earn here in two weeks. A meal is ten times than in Prague. A beer - don't ask.....one can get 15 here for the same price. I must be crazy - or love an empty land with the MOST beautiful Natural Beauty and few humans.
