Hi
From this January I'll be working and living in Bergen from Monday to Thursdays most weeks and I'd like to get know some locals not just through work, start to make clumsy efforts to learn the local language and to be introduced to some of the local restaurants and bars that you wouldn't necessarily know bout unless shown by a Bergen resident.
Ideas welcome
Thanks
John
