Reflections: Gaelan Miller

I can say straight of that it was a great experience. Working in Voss in the construction industry is a piece different from that over here. The hours to begin with are different with them only working 7.5 hours a day with only one half hour break at 11, they start at 7 and end at 3. The basics are the same for marking out, but the wiring and plumbing along with how they sheet the ceiling is different. One difficulty I found with working with both companies is that they worked in centimetres and not millimetres!

Besides the working life in Norway, living there was great too! We went on such tours called “Norway in a Nutshell”, which basically takes you around all the main sights in Norway. You start off in Voss, and then take a train across to Flam. After arriving there you'll have a bit of time for shopping.  Once you leave Flam by boat you then arrive in another place called Gudvangen, where there is a bus awaiting to take you back to Voss. We started the tour at about 9:10, and arrived back at our apartments in the evening.

I would definately recommend this trip to anyone, it is a great experience of living and working on your own.
