Ling's husband chose a good wife! I like that both of you live within your means. And that you two chose a simple lifestyle.

I went to college in Iowa. I'm sure you like Oslo or Norway more than Chicago! I wish that you'd have got your driver's licence in the US. In Norge, drivers had to learn how to drive in the snow and first aid. I'm glad that they put a lot of responsibilities on drivers there!

Yup, I'll never forget the first time I drove in snow; I almost slipped away.😅

Ling, could you make a video about the no-go zones in Oslo? Or neighborhoods that people should avoid because of safety reasons. Tusen Takk!

Hmmm. I can’t recall any no go zone here because it’s generally quite safe here even for solo travellers.

Ling, a jente named Karen Elene Thorsen wrote a book called "Fattig Student". She teaches people how to pick affordable and healthy food from supermarkets. She recently got married and became a mother. I'm jealous haha. Maybe her book would give you some ideas how to grocery shop affordably.

Thanks for the recommendation! Compared to healthy, I miss Asian food more. Haha

@@lingsjourneyYeah I hope that you can spend some time in KL whenever you can! But you're working on your citizenship in Norge, I wish that these years will go by quickly before you know it!

Also, I heard that many stores and supermarkets are closed on Sunday because of quiet Sundays. It sounds like some restaurants and some supermarkets would sitll be open on Sundays. I can't imagine that the mortgage interest rate is this high in Oslo. I hope that you can refinance later at a lower rate.

Yes! Most of the stores including supermarkets are closed on Sunday. There are some supermarkets open on Sunday but not much. For restaurant wise, they open on Sunday but close on Monday instead.

Omg. Tusen Takk, Ling! Thank you for making a video that I was asking about. Some people think that it's really expensive to live in Norway or Oslo. Well they probably have not been to Manhattan in New York City or San Francisco haha

Hahaha.. depends on the income and purchasing power too. Generally, the purchasing power is lower here.
