等了2个多星期,终于拿到人口号了。猪说了等我办了银行卡,结了婚他的工资发给我,我负责家里一切开销,我是boss. 听的我心里美滋滋的,我以前就梦想自己创业做soho, 虽然目前为止还没有实现。那就换个角色的boss当当,不过可想而知我这boss也是靠别人发工资,也只是徒有虚名而已
猪带我去Likningskontoret后来才知道那是去跟税打交道,以前一直听他嚷嚷说的都是办银行卡的事,所以去Likningskontoret就闹笑话了。 进门后猪说自己去办事情,不能老依靠他。那我就走到工作人员面前,拿出护照,人口号,其实我也感觉挺奇怪的,这不像银行啊,Excuse me, I would like to open an account. 猪笑了,赶忙过来,我就知道出洋相了。
唧唧哇哇一通挪威语后,我们就往里边办公室走去。终于见到男性工作人员了,这挪威挺奇怪,外面冲锋陷阵的都是女的,3张工作台都是women霸占的,难不成在挪威都是成功女人背后都有一个默默无闻的男人啊。
走出Likningskontoret,拿了一张纸应该是税单吧,接着就去办银行卡了。步行几步到的邮局银行,猪自己看碟回头跟我说现在可以说刚才说的那句话了,还在那里笑我。瞪了他一眼混进娘子军的队伍,我又觉得奇怪,这挪威男人在哪里上班,这一排长长的办公人员又都是women,她们很热情,我免费拍了快照,还得到多余相片。这里的银行没有像国内玻璃窗隔着,挪威都是刷卡消费,估计没有几个人为了取现金特意跑到银行里边去,外面minibank到处都是。
办完一切手续,去了附近的 RIMI超市,白天活动也就结束了,希望以后自己多留点心,不要再犯这种弱智错误。
新人到挪威,有必要看一下这个网站

今天很开心,我从国内邮局寄的包裹经过两个多星期的飘洋过海终于到家了。快4点时我们就去邮局取了我一直盼望的包裹,其实里面也没有什么贵重物,就是几本书,衣服和鞋。走出邮局我以为按照惯例去超市采购食物然后回家。结果我朋友开车带我去oslo,我好兴奋啊,oslo是挪威的首都就那里人多些,热闹些,安静的过了2个多星期终于可以激动和兴奋一下。在路上我问他为什么不早点告诉我呢,好让我兴奋一整天。他说上上星期你就该知道今天要去那里,而且知道去干嘛。 我努力的回忆,妈呀,他不会带我去牙医那里吧。完了
我4颗蛀牙10多年的历史,一颗早在西安上学时拔了还没有镶,其余3颗蛀到牙龈了,不痛不痒的,就是无法跟我朋友kiss,口腔有异味,我想这也是他急着要拔掉我牙的原因,不过他嘴里说的倒挺好听的说什么要在回国之前拔掉这些烂牙,要给我父母看他可以好好照顾我的,哼,什么逻辑啊。
这是一个我朋友的私人牙医,我朋友说他很有趣幽默,所以让他也成我的私人牙医。医生大概50岁左右,没跟他交流多少,他先给我朋友检查了一下,我就上场了,3颗蛀牙没的救了我早知道,其它牙齿都很好。医生建议先拔一颗。我好紧张阿,今天我可没有心理准备拔牙的,只是让他看看我的牙齿可以了。我朋友建议我今天拔一颗反正迟早要拔的。医生很尊重我,看我没心理准备他可以再安排以后再说。我好矛盾,我朋友在我旁边鼓励我only 5 minuts, just close your eyes. thinking what we are going to eat for dinner ,
Can I have food immediately I asked
of course
ok. 我又躺下了,拔牙很顺利。没有我想象的那连根拔起的声音。记得西安拔牙时时间又长,拔牙时的那连根拔起的声音到现在记忆犹新,就是那时候起我害怕牙医,宁愿牙齿烂到这个无法补救的程度也不去看医生。有些后悔,已无法回头。 都是年少无知惹的祸。
牙医真的很幽默,连拔牙时都在哼着歌来缓解我紧张的心情。其实真正拔的时间也就2分钟,不知是他的技术高还是我的牙齿烂到家了。奇怪拔完后他连棉花也没有塞,漱完口后也就没流血。出去逛街照常吃东西,就是2星期后跟他再次相约在他的工作室。
节日,除了春节有过节意识,其它的都慢慢淡忘了,尤其是中秋,一个人从小就习惯了独立,对家的思念也很少。今年不一样,刻意去记住这个日子,凌晨6点给家里打了电话,就说了一句今天是中秋给你们打个电话,接下去的中秋快乐也开不了口,彼此都明白心意就行。
早上快10点半左右还在睡觉就接到A女友的电话,问我什么时候能到她那里,她都准备好吃的了。我以为她下午两点以后有时间,2点以前要上课,原来相反了。赶紧起床洗漱,叫起我家那头猪,一切就绪还是晚了5分钟,要等下一班公交。猪就有充分的时间交代我注意事项了,说了N次大巴是蓝色的,认准Kongsvinger到OSLO,回来要是跟他在牙医那里碰不到面还是坐这车回来,Borgen下,又写了具体住址,牙医地址,临行出发时还叫我穿大棉袄,今天要下雨会有点冷。从家里到车站开车就1-2分钟,他算得还挺准时,到了车站在他车里停了几十秒,一辆大巴就缓缓驶来,跟猪挥手告别就开始了我在挪威的第一次独自出门旅行。
大巴很宽敞,车上就5-6个乘客,都是老头老太太,个个都精神抖擞, 倒是我穿的像个小老太裹得严严的,上车买票给了一张500 克朗,找回我400纸币硬币就没清点,所以到现在还不知从这里到OSLO 的车票是多少。车票也没有拿,后来A女友告诉我要是拿了刚才的小票,下车后坐市区内OSLO 的公交车在一小时内免费,这一趟出门还是学了点知识,呵呵。回头跟我家猪说起这事,为什么没交代让我拿车票的事,再说这车票还可以假公济私用做他公司开销,猪回答让你自己经历一次,比我提前交代要好。其实要感谢的是A女友告诉我这些。
从Borgen到OSLO 40分钟,下了车不敢乱动,哪里下就哪里呆着等A女友来找我,我一直以为A女友是北京的,个子应该很高,在等她的时候迎面来了一个个子高高,黑头发黑眼睛的亚洲女孩,她使劲地挥手, 我以为就是她了,也激动的挥手,正准备打招呼呢,她对我笑笑匆匆而过了,原来我的信号表错对象了。后来直到A女友站在我身边了,才发现原来她没我想象的那么高,我们也不知道怎么打招呼,是按中国人的握手还是学老外的拥抱,结果握手也没有握成,拥抱也拥了一半。
在oslocity 坐了37路到了她的住所,学生公寓,很安静,也挺干净,女友做了4个小菜,这是我来挪威吃的最丰富的一餐了, 我们边吃边聊我都忘了时间,吃到下午3点多了,把女友的学习也耽误了,早上起来时还喉咙痛,想不到有这么多吃的,喉咙也不痛了,吃的饱饱的就下定决心去拔牙,快4点告别女友,希望她毕业能如愿在挪威找到好工作,有个美好未来。
话说从学生公寓回到Oslocity , 最多走5-8分钟就可以到牙医的地方,Dronningensgt 40号,我问路N个,她们个个都很热情,都说 I think this way 或者I think that way .搞的我晕头转向花了50多分钟,碰到牙医时他已准备回家,被告之猪已离开15分钟回家了,赶紧Call猪回来载我,猪就是这样不会给我打电话,也不会多等我,我自己不守时后果自己承担。跟猪碰面,猪哇哇直叫,说我不守时,找借口不想拔牙才是真,钱也给我交了浪费。 老天知道我是真的决定拔牙的,要不然女友那里也不会吃2大碗米饭的。。。。
这就是我的中秋,牙没拔成,猪叫我以后牙痛了不要向他嚷嚷,自己去约牙医。回家的路上去看了他的员工,顺便越南超市逛了一圈,豆沙月饼就4厘米的直径要30多克郎,看了就算过节了。
自下飞机后踏入挪威这块蓝天绿地起,按照规定要在7天内到当地警察局报到。我和我朋友都不敢怠慢,在他父母离开后的第二天我们就到当地警察局报到,这是一所很小的警察局,两个办事窗口,放着轻音乐,排在我面前的是一个妈妈在帮他小孩办护照,小孩大概几个月左右,他的相片贴在妈妈的护照里,这样妈妈就可以带宝宝出境旅游了。真羡慕挪威的宝宝,一出生就可以周游世界。轮到我时被告之负责办理像我这样案例的人在休假,要下星期四才来。
很快到了星期四,我们匆匆赶过去,结果让我们去另一个比较大的警察局报到。我朋友也没有去过那个警察局,我们一边行驶一边打电话大概1个多小时终于到了目的地。原来这是一个专门办外来移民人的手续的警察局。需要办理的人很多,排在我面前有20几个人,除了4-5个肤色是白种人,就我一个标准的黄皮肤,其它的多半来自索马里,科索沃。休息厅墙上有些海报,我朋友告诉我到时有300小时的免费挪威语学习,好期待哦。
等到下午4点多时才轮到我们,结果办公人员的电脑系统里还没有我的任何信息,又得回大厅等候等待确认后才顺利完成我的报到手续。接下去就是办理社会保险号码,工卡。希望不要像报到这事一样磕磕碰碰,希望一切顺顺利利。
I was born in 19XX in a not rich village in Ningbo. My family was (and still is) not rich. My father works in a primary school of the village and my mother farms in the land almost everyday. As far as I could remember I could not have good food and nice clothes as other girls of my age when I was a small girl. So I could not say that I had a happy time in my childhood.
I was often in hospital during my childhood. One night in winter of 1982, I was having a high fever. My mother was quite scared and carried me to hospital in a hurry. It was bitterly cold that night. My mother carried me on her back and walked to hospital slowly. There were quite heavy snows on the ground, and my mother slipped and fell to the ground. I was hurt and began crying loudly. Still my mother tried her best and managed to reach the hospital in the end.
The doctor examined me and found that I got a severe illness. I had to stay in hospital for a long time. But the cost was very high and my mother did not have enough money for that. She tried to borrow some money from my relatives but no success, and my mother was very frustrated. Finally she had to sell the only pig that she had and used that money for the cost of my staying in hospital.
In the end I recovered and left the hospital, but my family had a very hard time afterwards. We had to tighten our belts for many months. My mother often mentions this case nowadays to remind me that I was really lucky to be saved from that sever illness.
I was not in good health until I went to the primary school in my village. I studied in this primary school for six years. Because my father was a teacher in that primary school, so I was very naughty and very dominating, but my studies were quite good. I was very proud of myself in sports and music while in primary school. Though I was often ill before the age of 7 years, I was a member of sport team in the primary school since I went to school. I was out on the school’s sport ground at 5:30 every morning, regardless of hot summer or cold winter. It was mainly because that my father was the teaching the sport course in my school. My father would not treat me differently, actually he was even strict to me in the training. I was also willing to accept his strictness, because I really loved sports games.
I could still remember vividly the sport game competition that I took when I was in the fourth grade. I got the gold medal in the girls’ high jump with the result of 1.15 meter, and I was the shortest among all the girls participated in the competition. The schoolmaster of my township primary school raised me to the sky happily. At that moment I was the center of all eyes and my happiness could not be expressed by words.
Though I was not tall among my classmates, I was the bodyguard of my girl classmates from primary school to junior high school. Due to my sporty character, it is difficult to find girlish from my personality. If any of my girl classmates was bullied by boys, I would come to help the girl, so the boys were quite afraid of me.
My studies at school were not as good as my sport performance. I would often rank second or third in my class. But I was very good at mathematics. And I was the member of my school’s Mathematics Olympic Team, but I did not get any prize in the provincial level or city level competition. I was not good at all at Chinese language learning, normally I could merely pass the examinations. Once at the Chinese language test in my third year of junior high school, I got a score of only 56, the second lowest in my class. The teacher was quite puzzled and all the eyes of my classmates focused on me. I was nearly fainted, that was my first time failing the examination in my studies.
After graduation from junior high school I went to a technical school in Xian, because my family could not afford to let me continue my studies in normal senior high school. My parents urged me to study mould design and manufacture, saying that this was a hot subject and easy to get better-paid salaries. As a 15 year old girl from the rural area, I did not know the outside world very well. So I agreed with my parents and went alone from Yuyao to Xian to live and study far away from my parents.
Staying alone in a poor and strange city with unfamiliar environment, I became mature quickly. I saw with my own eye for the first time the poor and simple living conditions in the northwestern part of China, which I could only see in TV before. I could see that the poor students in the northwestern part were having much harder time than me, and I should be thankful that my family is from the rich Chang Jiang River Delta. Without the pressure of university entrance examination, my study in Xian was quite easy and comfortable. I was always the first or second in the rank of studies in my class, seldom below the fifth. The four years study in Xian did not make deep impression in my mind. I did not go to the famous ancient places in Xian, for I did not get much money from my parents and I could not afford for the sight-seeing. The only places that I often went was those universities and colleges in Xian. I was told that Xian was the third in China with the number of universities and colleges, but for the economic development Xian was the lowest sixth in China.
Time passed fast. Suddenly one day I had to decide if I should continue my studies or graduate and start working. As my hometown was in great need of people knowing the plastic injection mould making, I did not continue my studies and started working in the society. I was full of hope and wanted to do my best in the rok after so many years of schooling.
The first company that I worked in was for a company specialized in plastic injection mould design and plastic product design. I was amazed by everything I saw and met in my work. I was specially proud that I was the only girl working in the design department of the company. So I started my routine work from 8:am till 5:00pm everyday. There was no more examinations, no more naughty games among the classmates, instead what I met was high pressure and competition in the work. I tried to learn everything I met in my work, for I knew that this was a good environment for me to learn working experience. Plastic injection mould design is a job full of challenges, with different parts we have to design different moulds, and even with the same part there are many ways to design the mould to get the same part.
Generally speaking, technical work is very boring. I only like the challenges in the technical fields, not the technical work itself. For an active person like me to sit in front of PC for many hours a day, this is too boring and suffering. I changed a lot after one year work in the company. I was no longer talkative. It became difficult to see if I was happy or angry. I did not know if it was the technical work that changed me or it was the social environment that changed me so much. Later on I realized that the reason for me to have that technical job was only for a living, I did not find any interests in the work. If one works for a living and not for fun, this work is just as suffering and boring as it could be.
An old engineer one day said to me that a technical person from facing the machines everyday to facing the people one day, it is a great progress to this person, because as a human being we have to face people and deal with people. His saying is really reflected my thinking. So I decided that I would work for the future career that would interest me…
I seldom go back to my home, even though my home is in Xiao Chao Er, very close to Ningbo. I go back home only two or three times a year, the same frequency as when I was in Xian. The only one I miss in my home is my mother. Though my father is a teacher, he never sets example for others.
As far as I could remember, my younger brother and I have never got the love from our father. I do not know how I should describe my father in this paper. To other people my father might be a very good man and kind man. He would lend anything he has to other people, even those things that are expensive and he does not use himself often. If the things are broken after lent to others, he would never ask the borrower to repair or compensate for the lost of the value. He is very responsible for his work as a teacher. He pays all his attention to his students, much more than his care for my brother and me. Sometimes I wonder if my brother and I are really his children. He never helps my mother in the farmland work, letting my mother work at fields in all weathers, whether rainy or windy. But if other people (like our relatives or neighbors) need help, he will offer the help without any problem. My father used to drink a lot when he was young, and he would often got drunk and made our family in a mess and quarrelling between my mother and my father due to this was like a routine case. I really could not make good comments about my father. Let other people to comment him in the future.
My mother is a typical woman from the countryside. She is frugal and hard-working. She pays all her attention to the home. Though she did not have much education, she has common sense and knows the importance of knowledge. My mother has a life-long sorrow due to her father’s neglect of education for girls. Because of her father, my mother did not get enough education and this made her life very hard later. Therefore my mother has paid all her attention to the studies of my brother and me. She never allowed me to do house work. Her only demand from me is that I should be good at studies. I could not understand my mother’s care and demand when I was young. I knew that my mother was very strict to me in my studies and my study was for my mother and for not having hitting from my mother. I could remember one winder night I could not solve a geometry homework. My mother forced me to ask for help from a boy living in the next village. It was snowing and the wind was blowing very hard that night, and my mother hugged my in her shoulder and went along with me for more than half an hour. I really could not understand why we should suffer so much just for homework at that time. As far as I could remember, my mother has never bought clothes for herself. Though she is 50 years of age now, she still wears the clothes made for her weddings. She made up her mind early this year that she would make new clothes for her 50 years birthday, but by now the birthday was over for two months and the new clothes was not made yet…Though I do not have much communication with my mother, I could feel the care and attention she always has for my brother and me. This is great mother-love. This is pure love. I feel very happy that I could have this love whenever needed.
I am very proud of my younger brother. He is good at almost everything even from childhood. Besides good at studies, he is also good at sports, handcraft, painting, music, etc.. He is very sensible as a child. He could understand the parents and never picky at food and clothes. He is always the focus of the school, the pride of the class, and the proud of the school. He was the number one in the whole township when he got into junior high school. Because he got quite many awards in sports and studies while in the primary school, he was accepted by the key junior high school in Yuyao. But due to the high cost and poor family, he gave up the chance of studying in Yuyao and continued his junior high school studies in Xiao Chao Er township. Now he is studying in Zhejiang Zhenhai Senior High School, a state-level key school. He entered Zhejiang Zhenhai Senior High School without the need of examination, due to his excellent performance in routine studies and sports games. My brother and I are always in good terms, and our parents are quire happy to see this.
This is my family and my home. It is not rich but full of smiles and hopes. I believe that with the efforts by my brother and me, our family and home will be more happy and nice in the future.
