Moving house
After living in our flat for almost 10 years. My wife and I have decided to move house. We finally found the place we wanted. A terraced house in the right area. On Monday we entered the bidding. It started at NOK 1.900.000,- we jumped in at NOK 2.050.000,- and finally won at NOK 2.200.000,-. That's 150 thousand over the valuation. We happily started to congratulate ourselves and planning the move when the property broker called. There's something called preemption. We now have to wait 20 day's to see if any members of the cooperative wants to buy.

Hopefully, us offering so much over the valuation will frighten all would be competition and we can move in April.

Our flat will be on the market shortly for NOK 1.800.000,- . Løp og kjøp!!

Salam Pax - Faens bomber- Nettlogg fra Bagdad
The other day I was given this book. Thanks Kami, I love it. This gave me the incentive to try blogging. Let's see how it works out.

As you see from the title, the book is in Norwegian, a language I know perfectly, it's just that English is my native language and I feel more at home blogging in it.

Okay, back to the book. If you haven't read it you can do two things:

1. Buy or borrow it

2. Go to the blog "Where is Raed" and read it:
