Opera - с нами быстрее!

that made me go out and enjoy the city:

Yeah, it should happen some day... Let it happen now. I'm a new member of My Opera community and gonna stay here, because I like it.

Actually, I had to start my blog about 3 weeks ago as soon as I arrived to Norway.. but you know, it's difficult to start speaking in public the language, which is not your native one and you feel you are not really good at it. The language everybody speaks prefectly here and you don't. Yeah.. it's English. Anyway, you never learn until you try. So, with all my mistakes I'm gonna speak here and this is how I'm going to improve.

Ok, a bit about me. I'm originally from Kyrgyzstan. Some people write it as Kirgistan, another people say it just as Stan. Most people here don't know where it is. In this post I'm not going to talk a lot about my country. Probably, next time .

The most exciting thing for me now is that I'm in Norway working for Opera Software and enjoying both the work and the country.

I'm working with this guy with a very beautiful smile :


and with these nice people, which came to Norway from Australia, Canada, Indonesia and Germany to do an internship in Opera like me.



So, we are a very international and great team working together, partying together and.... hmm. having lunch together in Opera!

How do I like Norway?

It's completely different from the place I used to live. Weather , prices , culture , regulations , taxes , people ! Everything is different... and I like it!

My first impression about Norway was not good I should say... because once I left the airport I had to pay a lot (from my point of view) for the train to get to Oslo Center.. and then it was raining. The city looked grey, everything was written in Norwegian... It made me feel lonely and helpless. Two awful feelings I usually never had before and that's why i didn't know how to manage them. But time helps.

Now I'm happy, I have many friends here and interesting job. I got used to live without sun, but with rains... I do not convert prices to my currency anymore. And I learned to buy products before weekends and holidays start .

Another good thing - I had my first Norwegian class yesterday and now I know that Jeg heter Uliana
