Thanks for your questions“How much earning can an international student make per hour in Oslo, Norway, by working in bars, cafes or restaurants“?
I think this questions cafes or restaurants is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.As per the tariff between the trade union and the hotel and restaurant trade, the current hourly rate for an employee without formal qualifications is NOK 156,64 per hour before taxes.
If you choose an employer with no collective bargaining agreement, you may of course earn less (or more).
After taxes, you will probably make around NOK 100/hour.Also note that as a non-EU student, you need to apply for and obtain a work permit. The rules around work permits for students have changed recently, and I am not up-to-date on the current regulations.

Thanks for your questions “What is the best sushi restaurant in Los Angeles, aside from Urasawa which is impractical for regular visits?”
I think this questions sushi restaurant is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in details.I was working at a sushi restaurant in Hollywood and my coworker, Ken told me about this sushi bar. Ken was younger than I was and had more experience being a sushi chef. He was working only two nights a week and the rest of the time, he was a guitarist in the band. Ken started his training in Japan, working at a sushi restaurant in Tokyo as an apprentice, so he knew more about the traditional sushi techniques.
One day, Ken told me about Go’s Mart. All the sushi chefs at the bar were talking about a newly opened restaurant in Hollywood. Quite often, we gossiped about other restaurants and other sushi chefs to find out what others were doing, keeping up with the trends, special menus, type of fish other people were getting and so on. After all, it was the time before the social media, back in 2002.
“Go-san is great. It’s a tiny place – only four seats at the sushi bar and a couple of tables. It’s my favorite place in the whole of LA. I think it’s the best Sushi bar in town and the best-kept secret. Not very many people know about it. Only those who love sushi go there. In fact, it’s not really a sushi restaurant. It’s more like a fish market that serves sushi. Nothing fancy there. If you see it from outside, you will not think it’s a great sushi restaurant. Everything Go-san makes is fantastic. Oh, I want to go there again. Go-san is very nice, too. He is gentle and friendly. You should make a reservation. He will treat you good.
I immediately called Go’s Mart and made a reservation. I decided to go there on Sunday with my friend Sen, who was also a sushi chef. We knew Sunday was not exactly the best day to go sushi restaurant because fish suppliers were closed on Sundays. Knowing this, we decided to go to Go’s Mart because for one, we believed in Ken and secondary, if Go-san could serve us great sushi even on Sunday evening, it meant that his sushi would be even better on regular nights.
I looked at the address of Go’s Mart: 22330 Sherman Way C12, Canoga Park, CA 91303. Canoga Park? I needed to check on my Thomas Guide – a map of greater Los Angeles area owned by virtually every resident of the city. Everyone kept at least one copy in their car.
We drove about an hour from Hollywood to Canoga Park. I was living in Santa Monica at that time and unless I had some business to do, (which I did not), Canoga Park was not a place for me to go. As a matter of fact, for the past ten years, I’ve never been there. It’s hot, a suburb of Los Angeles and lots of corner shopping malls and suburban houses, which is exactly where Go’s Mart sits” at the end of corner shopping mall with a big plastic sign. Nothing stylish. Nothing extraordinary. Just does its job of telling the name of the place. If we did not know about it, we would never put our foot inside. How could we have known? After all, in Canoga Park? Not in Beverly Hills like Urasawa is?
We parked right in front of the Mart and walked in through the door. The inside of the store had a small refrigerator with some fish and the sushi counter with bar stools: only four of them. And there were two tables with two chairs each. It was like walking into a mom and pop ice cream parlor in a small town, somewhere in Iowa. Then, behind the sushi bar was tall skinny Japanese man with short hair and rigid looking face. We figured it was Go-san. He did not like friendly, I thought, at least, at first sight.
“Umm, we made a reservation, for two people, under Kaz, ” I said to the man.
“Oh, yes, are you Kaz-san? We were expecting you. Here, please have a seat.”
“Thank you.”We sat at the bar. Even though we knew the place was nothing fancy, we were bit anxious because we never been to a place like this before, and have great sushi. I think we were anxious because we knew it was going to be a great surprise.
“Omakase, please.”
“OK,” Go-san said.
“Anything you cannot eat?”
“We can eat everything,” I said.
“I understand. Thank you,” Go-san said.
“I work with Ken, the sushi chef. He told us about you, and that’s why we came here today.”
“Ken?” Go-san thought it for a second. “Oh, yes, the sushi chef. He’s been here a couple of times. You work with him, huh? Well, today’s Sunday, so we are a bit short of some fish, you know. The fish supplier is closed today. If you came on Tuesday, it would have been better, but, oh well.”
“We’ll come on Tuesday the next time. Today was the only day we could come. When Ken told me about you, we wanted to come here as soon as possible,” I said to Go-san.
“I see. It’s not a problem,” Go-san smiled.I think that was the first time I saw Go-san smile since we walked into the restaurant. I felt relieved to him smile. I suppose I was nervous because Go-san had an intense look.
We ordered a bottle of Sapporo and started drinking.
“Here is an appetizer – Nasu Dengaku, baked Japanese eggplant with some sweet miso. It should go well with your beer.”
“Thank you.”The eggplant was sweet and moist, just off the oven. It was matching perfectly with the sweet miso paste.
“This is delicious,” I said. “What kind of Eggplant is this?”It was round like a small ball.
“It’s Kamo Nasu, or Kyoto Eggplant,” Go-san explained.A good sushi chef can make a good sashimi or nigiri. One of the signs of a great sushi chef is a cooked dish he/she makes. We immediately knew, judging from the taste of the eggplant, Go-san’s sushi would be superb.
Using his Yanagi-ba, Go-san made two slices of white fish from the fish case. He picked up one piece of the fish in his right hand, then grabbed a small amount of sushi rice with his left hand. He moved slowly and squeezed the fish and rice together, gently and firmly.
“Here is Hirame.”We noticed it looked slightly different from the hirame we make. We were used to serving it with momiji•oroshi, grated daikon radish, and ponzu sauce.
“What’s this red topping?”
“Oh, it’s Goji berry.”
“Goji berry?”
“Yes, try it. It goes well with white fish.”I never thought of using Goji berry for nigiri. Sure, Go-san was right. It was brilliant.
“Here is Toro.”Again, Go-san’s Toro looked different from the ones we used to see.
“This Toro is fantastic. Where is this from?”
“It’s from Spain. These are farm raised.”
“I did not know they can farm raise bluefin tuna?”
“Well, it’s kind of farm raised. They catch the adult bluefins and surround them in an inside of a large fishing net in the ocean. Then, they feed the tuna and let them grow until they are nice and fatty. So, it’s half farm raised, not 100% farm raised yet.”(Note: In 2015, Kinki University in Japan announced that they have succeeded in farm raising bluefin tuna until then, it was considered impossible to farm raise bluefin.)
“Everything is fantastic,” I said.
“Thank you.”We had some Kohada, Saba, Uni. It was nothing like we’ve tasted before.
In fact, it was by far the best sushi I’ve ever tasted.One of the most striking differences about Go-san’s sushi was a wide variety of toppings he used: Goji Berry, Gold Leaf, and Yuzu Peel. HIs finishing touches, as small as they may seem, were what distinguished his sushi from others and made our dining experience more than just fish on top of vinegared rice.
It was mesmerizing to watch Go-san made his nigiri – very calmly, yet energetically, as if he was putting all the effort into one tiny piece of nigiri. He made sure he took enough time, which was the opposite of what we were used to. All the sushi chefs I worked with considered being “fast handed” as one of the skills of being a great sushi chef.
Apparently, Go-san had his own philosophy of being a sushi chef.
One squeeze at a time, Go-san looked as if he was making a perfect Origami Paper Crane. He was very meticulous.After the very satisfying sushi dinner, we could not wonder why an exceptional Sushi chef like Go-san would have a restaurant in a remote place like Canoga Park. We thought he could have much bigger, a nicer restaurant in LA and it he would certainly do well, not to say he is doing badly in Canoga Park or anything.

Thanks for your questions “What are some must-go-to restaurants and cafes in Los Angeles “?
I think this questions restaurants in Los Angeles is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.Our pick for the best restaurant for seeing a celebrity in LA would be Craig’s on Melrose Ave. It seems every night some of the most popular celebrities out there dine here.
Here’s a list of some of other popular restaurants A-List celebrities eat at:
Ceconni’s
SoHo House
Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel
Chateau Marmont
Fig & Olive
Sugarfish
Mr Chow
Maestro’s
Urth CaffeSome of these can be pretty hard to get into and or expensive, so just be aware. And of course, there’s no guarantee the likes of George Clooney will be sitting at the table next to you but more than likely you won’t come away from these places disappointed, and at the very least, if you do eat there, you’ll get a pretty great meal.
Just in case those aren’t enough, we have a mobile app called StarSpot that shows what restaurants celebrities frequent, when and how often, that might help you as well.

I’m a giant foodie so I’ll just list my favorites. The majority of these are in the DTLA area because that’s where I lived:
Sugarfish in DTLA for sushi. They make it with warm rice and it literally just melts in your mouth.Lemonade:
Cafeteria-style eatery with healthy selections and unique combinations (ie watermelon radish and seared ahi tuna.) Way pricey for what they serve, but delicious! Good for a quick bite. Bottega Louie for brunch. It’s somewhat overrated, but still an adorable setup. Note that the ceilings are very high which makes this restaurant quite noisy and not suitable for big groups.Church and State Bistro: Adorable French-style Bistro. Quite pricey, but WORTH IT.
Cafes:
Chado Tea Room – Full English style tea service. They often have deals on Groupon. The food is okay, but the tea and the setting make it quite fun.
Four Leaf Cafe for boba and Japanese style crepes. It’s in the heart of little Tokyo and it’s AMAZING.Urth Cafe:
Delicious, somewhat more “healthy” cafe fare and pastries. They’re always jam packed.
LA Cafe if it’s after 2 am and you’re craving something fattening. They have a lobster grilled cheese and they make it with brie. (Of course, you don’t have to go after 2 am. They’re just open very late.)Thanks for your questions. If you find this answer is useful for you then share with your friends on facebook, twitter and google plus.

Thanks for your questions “Do fast food restaurants or cafes within or very near to college campuses ever close for lack of business?”
I think this questions restaurants or cafes is very important for all like yours. Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.There are other factors to consider, too.
Assuming you lease the building instead of owning it, your landlord might become greedy and raise the lease or refuse to renew because they got a better offer or want to redevelop. (San Jose, I’m looking at your landlords.)
During school breaks, you’ll have drastically less business. Some restaurants in Arcata closed during the summer because half the population went home for the summer. How will you budget to pay your rent and whatever minimum costs for staying in the building and/or staying open but having less income?
Economic factors may affect your patrons’ budgets. Tuition hikes may lead to more students eating ramen and homemade PB&J. Partial furloughs at Humboldt State hit the restaurants first because faculty and staff had less disposable income.
I’ve definitely seen empty restaurant spaces in college towns: Arcata, Berkeley, Irvine, San Jose.

Thanks for your questions“How can I find a part time job as a piano player in a restaurant or cafe in the US?” I think this questions restaurant or cafe is very important for all like yours.
Here I’m trying to give your answers in brief.International students who come to the U.S are generally restricted from working part time off- campus. In fact, F1 students cannot work part time off-campus in their first year of study. After one year of study, you can apply for OPT if you would like to work part time during the period of your study. If your OPT is not approved, you cannot work part-time off campus. And even if your part-time OPT is approved, it will reduce the time of your full-time OPT by half amount of your part-time work. Also, unless the subject your study is music, you cannot work in a music-related field.

Thanks for your question. Dogs are not color blind. But they see the world quite differently to us. In dogs retinas, they have fewer cones but more rods compared to us. More rods means they can detect movement and light better than human. The cones are responsible for color vision. so that dogs can see color. But they just see it differently.
Dogs vision is dichromatic, so they primarily see blue and yellow color. Humans usually see trichromatically with visible variations of red, blue and yellow color. So,I think a dog’s vision is similar to being red-green color blind, which is a common variability in us.
Actually, we really don’t know how dogs see. We can just make this assumption based on their retina and it’s cellular level. It is quite possible that they assign colors in a completely different manner to us. They could rely on brightness and contrast to identify different colors more than what humans do. For example, a dog can not be able to differentiate a green ball compared to a red ball. But the dogs may be able to detect a difference in the brightness or contrast between two balls.
They are much better than humans in low light situations. They are known as crepuscular hunters. So that they are much better at spotting that possum up the tree in the yard at dusk. This is certainly an advantage for dogs.
Their vision is a little fuzzier than humans. The measure of visual acuity is often stated as a normal of 20/20 vision and it basically means that at 20 feet we can see two things that are 1.75mm apart. They vary in their visual acuity and their Snellen rating can be estimated to be around 20/75. The Snellen rating means that they can recognize lines on a chart at 20 feet and a human could detect that at 75 feet.
So, dogs don’t see colors quite like we do and they have slightly fuzzy vision. I think their eyes are better adapted to movement and low light.

Swimming is a sport and a hobby for people of all ages. It’s a great way for your body to recover and become stronger. If we want to know how we can gain muscle from swimming. We will have to look at some of the fundamental aspects of swimming.
Swimming is a resistance exercise as we know.It is similar to weight-lifting. But in swimming, there is no stress on our joints and bones that we feel in weight lifting. So,swimming work on our muscles but it doesn’t have the negative impacts that weight-lifting has.
There are many muscles those are stronger by swimming.It does work some muscles more than others. These muscles are traps, shoulders, back, abs, lats, legs, and triceps. The constant pulling and pushing off and against water build muscle endurance and work capacity with those muscles.
Though I am telling you that swimming is one of the best activities for muscle growth. But it is not enough. You still have to lift weights for muscle growth.Unless you will never put on the muscle that you want. By combining swimming and weight lifting you will see your gains like never before.
Hope you find your answer.

The best way to clean your dog’s ears is you have to use a gentle pet ear cleaner, for example, paws ear cleaner. I will tell you that how you should clean your dog’s ear.
First of all, place the nozzle all the way down the ear canal.You know dogs have long ear canals so that you will not be at risk of puncturing the ear drum. If you do not put it down far enough, you won’t get the drops all the way down the canal.
Then you have squirted some of the cleaners into your dog’s ears.You should massage the area below and slightly in front of the ear canal fairly firmly.Then you should stand back.It is likely that your dog will shake his head and cover you with cleaner mixed with waxy ear gunk.
It is important to note that you have to remember. Nowadays many veterinary dermatologists are now recommending that you should not pluck the hair from your dog’s ears. There are also exceptions to this rule. However, it is best to check with your vet what is right for your dog or not.I think ear plucking can lead to irritation of the dog’s ear canals that may make ear infections more likely.
Hope you find your answer.

Thanks for your question.I think sex has nothing to do with the fact that someone married or not.I think it is a choice each person has to make by asking themselves if they’re prepared for the sex or not. You talked to your partner about the sex. We should use protection and nothing bad happened.
Sometimes you feel criticized by people who learn you aren’t a virgin.I think you should be surprised to know that some people feel criticized for just the opposite reason—because they’ve never had sex. It depends on who is doing this and what their philosophy is. In Europe today there are at least two very different philosophies of sex.
You have done a good job articulating the way sex is seen by many TV programs and movies.The key to this philosophy is the individual.It depends on the couple. So,we can say that sex is a way for individuals to enjoy each other.We must decide individually whether to make love or not. The only constraint should be whether they’re prepared to handle the consequences. If we can’t avoid some risks.We should face them honestly and minimize them if we can and take responsibility for the results.
I follow a different philosophy based on my religion.In fact, sex is all about marriage and family.
