Hello, everybody!
« på: 23. sep, 2013, 07:02 »
Heya, I'm King.

Although I currently live in the United States, I'm really interested in the possibility of spending some time in Norway and I'd like to meet some of the furs around the area.

If anybody here would be interested in meeting somebody state-side feel free to PM me for my Skype username and we can totally chat some time. ^^

I'm afraid that I don't speak a lick of either Bokmål or Nynorsk, but I'm beginning to learn. I do, however, speak English, German and Spanish.

PS: I apologize if it's taboo to use English outside of the non-Norwegian forum, but I wanted to post some kind of introduction and this seemed a better place of the two options. To the site's moderation: Feel free to move it wherever it really belongs and I apologize once again if its placement is incorrect.

Welcome KingstonDominik. Where in the US are you from? :)
Been to Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania myself.

Either way, welcome to the forum and hope you get a to visit our country :)
PS. Due to experience from previous visitors, I would like to warn the stuff is usually more expensive here. Expect prices to be 2-3 times higher.

Hello and welcome to the forum, KingstonDominik! Or as we say in Norway: aloha! Hope you stick around (despite the emphasis on Norwegian), and feel free to ask if you have any questions. You'd of course be welcome to join public furmeets if you were ever in the neighbourhood.

And of course, I have to ask: what's your fursona?

I never thought that I'd get to use this in any kind of context;


-
Usually when I hear about 'murricans wanting to learn about Norwegian things in general, I'm assuming they either hail from the northern mid-west or that they're a fan of Breivik, for whatever reason.
I'm a huge fan of stereotypes btw.


edit:
Welcome to the forum.

Why the hell would anyone ever be a "fan" of Breivik? Also, I've been interested in Norway for at least five years now, so you really couldn't ascribe that reasoning to me, could you?

PS: I don't drink "Soy Lattes" and "Grande" is a sizing of beverage generally only utilized by Starbucks whose beans are of inferior quality and are roasted by a non-local, Seattle-based company. As a vegan and an espresso-lover, the problem with using soy as an alternative to dairy in your espresso beverages is that, while soy has excellent similarity to the consistency of cow's milk and will foam very similarly, it tastes very much different. Therefore, I only drink straight espresso, usually a doppio ristretto. Also, I prefer buying my coffee from independently-owned, locally-based cafés that only use high-grade local roasts like Stumptown or Dovetail.

Probability dictates it is likely for there to be someone who will meet any criteria. And, you know.. There are a lot of weirdos out and about.

Shiet, son. Man, am I glad for not having that milk problem with my coffee. I go all black, unless I manage to scramble my order with awkward phrasing, ending up with something else than what I wanted..
Local beans would be a plus though, although impossible with our climate :C:C:C
Local, short-travelled foods up here (Tromsø) usually means potatoes, wild berries, fish, reindeer and game. Which is nice, of course, but a bit on the boring side.

*takes first peer at english sub-section of forum*
Uegh. A tree has no need for a dead branch..
I suppose it might need some rejuvenating (not that everyone's super old) if the non-Norwegian community here is to be sustained, in a visible manner at least.
Work to be done~

I actually prefer my espresso plain anyway, all these watered-down, sugared-up mochas and americanos mask far too much of the drink's natural flavor.

The beans are not grown here, we don't have the climate for that either. xD Instead, they get imported and then roasted at a local company.
