A lot of fun new interviews are coming your way here on Culture Shock. I hope you enjoy them, as a lot of time and effort are going in to them from me and the interview-ees.

On a more serious note, I am not to happy with the Norwegian health care system right now. It seems impossible for me to get necessary treatment here and am looking at going back to California for a time and am checking out insurance quotes from there. It is really frustrating right now. One of the great benefits of living in this very expensive country is that you are supposed to get health care. I am finding that to be more of a ‘theory’. And my health is at stake. Its not a joke, and not a fun situation.
