How short the summer is. The cold. The rain. The snow. All the people on welfare. That we can&apos;t buy beer after 18:00 om weekdays and 20:00 on Saturdays (and not at all on Sundays).&lt;p&gt;Norway might not be very exciting, though. After all, we&apos;re only 5 million people, which is like half of Paris.&lt;p&gt;Although I don&apos;t work there anymore, Opera is hiring[0], and it has a multinational workforce and English is the working language.&lt;p&gt;Other benefits not mentioned in the article is 5 weeks paid vacation and Norwegian management style[1].&lt;p&gt;[0]: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opera.com/company/jobs/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.opera.com/company/jobs/&lt;/a&gt;

What about other oil-prosperous small countries such as the Emirates or Kuwait? Are the cases comparables?&lt;p&gt;What are the Norwegian govt plans for the long-time future when their oil is over?
