We are launching New Social Network for Foreigners in Norway.
our new address is www.immino.no or foreignersinnorway.com
Our research shows that English information on the web about Norway was lacking in some ways.
The many websites, portals and forums about Norway are most in Norwegian language. There are almost none for foreigners to use in English.
Our aim is to make people feel as welcome and comfortable as possible in Norway by providing vital information.
So, you are more than welcome to become a part of our network.

<quoted text> Thank you for the idea to creating that site. Good job.
But I suppose you should’ve put a little more effort to express pros and cons evenly about Norway because someone might get the fake image that this country is the paradise itself. And they also could be frustrated when they’ll figure out later on - unlike you have described - Norwegian folks aren’t immaculate or the best dudes on the earth. Of course I can understand patriotism and respect it as well, but please…stay on the ground!

I don't understand welcoming newbies while immigrants who have been living here are fleeing to other countries like the US and Britain. Norway is not a country for foreigners, sorry to say but reality and sugar coating are different matters.

You probably misunderstood me. I am not native Norwegian and I am not a racist, but I am frustrated how Norwegians treat foreigners. Immigrants in Norway are in the bottom economically. They are not welcome in the work place and no matter how many applications submitted, they are rejected. No competence or education matters as long as they are not W. European. The Eastern Europeans are exploited like slaves, though they are hardworking and competent.

But what do you actually suggest? To forbid people to come here?

That would be a good idea: to advise people to not waste their time and money coming to Norway. The problem is bullsh!t reports like that from the UNDP, which calls Norway the best place in the world to live. But the Norwegians are surly and hostile. The jobs entirely closed to foreigners. The road system sh!t (only Albania has worse roads). The much-vaunted medical system only 10th in the world. The educational system second-rate. So why do you want to "welcome" people to Norway? And what exactly does your "welcome" consist of? A few polite words? This does nothing to ameliorate the terrible discrimiation in the rental housing and job market.

Now, you are trying to refer people to another forum.[/quote]

It's an established forum. There's almost nothing on your forum. And your inisistence on portraying your particular bias -- a manic smiley-face that has nothing to do with reality, will just mislead people into coming to Norway. Why do you want to lead people astray?

[quote]<quoted text>I can tell you, I read info on that forum and you can find such "horror" stories on a lot of forums: there are always people who are unsatisfied in life, who cannot fit and who, instead of trying to change, blame everybody else around them.[/quote]

Try to understand *statistical* arguments and instead of mindlessly attacking everyone who disputes your smiley-face vision of Norway. If 9 out of 10 people are having problems with getting a job in Norway, do you say all those 9 are maladjusted complainers? Or might there be something to their criticisms?

[quote]<quoted text>I know a lot of people who could succeed in Norway. Yes, sometimes it is not easy, but show me the country where it will be easy?
Try to live in Denmark and see how foreigners are treating there and tell something about Norway after that!
