Big move Japan ->Brasil

The big day was approaching! and yes I was moving back to Brasil.

Its amazing how many stuffs I gathered after 5 years in a one room apartament!! OMG!!
I spent the last month jus packing, packing and packing! and I couldnt finish it without my friends help! ^^ she helped me with the garbage.. and with tons of boxes!

In the end I sent 12 boxs to Brasil! and in the begining I had decided to sent just 3! how I was naive! 1. Just part of my boxs!

So the big day arrived.. and I had to say goodbye to my "Floral Mishima" , the building that I lived the last 5 years!



2. Byebye, Floral Mishima!

66 days! Time to move!

In less than 3 months I will move again! but to where??

Its easy to move back to my own country and its not the option that I really want for this moment.
I've been living here in Japan for almost 8 years in total, and I guess its time to try a diferent country!! I need a new challenge! ^^

So decided to try to live for a while in Norway! ^^ why Norway? Its seems to be a really calm country, kind people and a interesting language.
I`ve been studying Norwegian for almost 2 years now, I already can understand a lot of things but I cant speak yet... its the main problem about study by yourself.... So decided to go to Norway to learn Norwegian properly!

1st try!

Apply for a university is the best way! I cant say its the easiest way but its the best!
Easy to have a resident permit, to find a place to live and to learn Norwegian. Almost most of the main universities offers Norwegian course for free for their international students.

I'd already applied in 3 universities. I wasn't accepted in 2, but still have my last chance.. I shall receive the result in the middle of April.

2 try!

As I already have a master degree, I've read at Norwegian immigration home page that I can apply for a permit called "Norwegian course for skilled person". A person who fulfill some criterias can stay for 1 year studying Norwegian and seeking for a job. Now I'm searching for a language school which offers a full time course.

Yesterday I was reading the NOKUT home page, and thought that I can be a good idea to have my dilpomas recognited in Norway. Seems to be simple... we'll see! ^^
