just hopping into this thread again since i have nothing else to do.
as djalil said, stating your nationality might help... alltough i dont like to admit it, i see that quite many norwegians are afraid of / somewhat rasist against people who doesnt look 'nordic'
having travelled a lot myself, i dont really care anymore. But having to read news every saturday about how 3 men from pakistan raped a girl outside a bar, or 2 polish men starting a fight over a woman.. or that indian man beating his wife? it doesnt help
...
just want to say tho, i am aware that MOST people who come to norway have fled here for a reason, and are looking to start peaceful new lives.
