Norway

Do you have any friends or people who left this country and are living abroad ? Especially Norway.
What do you think about this country ? I started thinking lately about working there when I finish my education and so. The wages there are incredibly high if compare them to our country. Well life there is expensive as well but it's nothing compared to salaries. The life ( food, living place, bills and taxes ) is there about 35-45% of your earnings. So you can easily put on the bank account half of your salary living a decent life. The first thing to know is an english language I guess. Later norwegian comes which is quite hard as I heard. But for someone who wants to obtain it it shouldn't be a problem. Another thing is the weather. In the southern part it ain't that bad. I heard days during winter are about 6~ hours long so that's not much less than here. Just checked day length on the internet. On 22 nd November the day lasts from 8:32 till 15:34. So there is almost no difference. The thing gets worse if take in consideration the area placed to the north. I'm not sure but there're some area where the day lasts even 24 hours the same thing goes about nights in some period of times during year.
During summer I met 2 norwegian guys. Damn... they were completely different than people here in Poland. They were smiling all the time, sometimes even happy like kids unlike polish people. The reality in Poland is different. It's hard to earn living here. What if the man wants to have a kid ? If only one person works and 2 nd has to take car of children the family is in a quite bad situation. We've got just really harsh life here. Even after university you won't easily find a decent job unless you know right people that can fix it for you.
Well during last few years 2-3 millions of poles just left this country. The worst thing is they were mostly young so just imagine how many less people works for their ( in fact older people's ) retirements. The state takes almost 40% of our salaries for retirements, health care etc. and people ask where are theirs money ? In fact it turns out it's a sick country and that's true it really is.
Therefore if I get a chance of living this country to work in Norway for instance I doubt I'll stay.
Okay whatever. Got go to
See ya
