On this website, unfortunately for us written completely in Norwegian, people publish advertisement of every sort: from job offers to love datings, from travel arrangements to boat repairing.
However the most interesting part is the section "Torget" which means "square" and within it the section "gis bort", that is..."Gift". Gifts...free stuff that people don't use anymore and wants to give out. You just need to knock on their door and take your gift.
You might be shocked by all this largeness but actually Norwegian people are really keen on recycling. Last week, for example, I went to a flea market and that's what I discovered: here flea markets are usually held in schools and are aimed to support the music school-band, so every once in a while all the people from the neighbourhood collect their stuff and give it to the market for free. I was used to our flea markets, so when I saw two big loudspeakers I was ready to pronounce my successful sentence "you know, you want too much, once I bought it for xxx euros" when the guy told me: "Ehy, you look interested. You know, you can take it for free!" And I found myself replying: "no please, take 10 kr."(1.20 euro)..for the school band(???)!!! And the loudspeakers are perfectly working!!!
But let's go back to the gifts of finn.no, since I got really addicted to it. You can find every sort of gifts: from tables, to cupboards, televisions, clothes...but mainly....pianos and rabbits!!!
Please don't ask me why pianos and rabbits. I mean, the reproductive rate of rabbits is notoriuos, but why they're so popular on finn.no! And pianos, why people give pianos for free???
Please follow the link to admire these beautiful rabbits
