Good pubs in Brussels by Heiko
Hi there, I have been in Brussels a few weeks now and haven't found any good pubs with good music and cool ppl. Any recommendations??
Hi, the European district is a good place to meet ppl : try the wild geese or the hairy canary. You may also try around the Halles Saint Gery. Also on the Avenue Louise, or Chaussee de Charleroi, you'll find posher bars. It's quite true that Belgian ... Read More

Making friends in Norway by britadiantraveller
Is anyone else finding it incredibly hard to make friends in Norway? I am a bit shy myself but it's to the point of rediculous with people here! I'm at my wit's end... :(
I think they're quite good actually in English, I know how it is in France (was born and raised in Brussels), and there it's way harder for an expat from the point of view of language. What is more annoying for me here is the long winter, low ... Read More
My first message to a forum. by RFd
Hello to whoever reads this. And Thanks! I am both new to Norway and new to blogging, hopefully both will be catastrophe free. I am slowly getting used to the cost of things here - I dont seem to notice spending 20Nok for an ice lolly or up to ...
Also another good tip, in Deli de Luca, they offer a few chinese or indian (one actually lol) meals; it's NOK 19/100 gr, so if you take 2-300 gr (a decent portion i think), it'll cost 6-7聙, like in continental Europe so. Beware that many other ... Read More

Here's a rule : eating out is ridicully expansive in Norway ! Basically there's no limit when u go out to eat or have a drink, specially if u're in the west... I found just one exception so far : a normal priced indian restaurant, the Curry&Ketchup, ... Read More
