Travel and migration are part of life for many West Africans. A large number move to the nearest big city, to the capital or to neighbouring countries to find work. Some travel to France or England to study, or to the USA to engage in trade. A very small minority of West Africans come to Norway, but still they manage to make their mark on trading activities in Oslo. Those who live here want to get, and use, products that resemble those with which they are familiar from their homelands. The goods they bring to Oslo also expand what is available to interested Norwegians.
