5:44 Britain: *fires at a Norwegian cathedral for siding with the dutch and getting the ball stuck there* Norway: «Wow… that made the cathedral look way better!»
Bergen is famous for it´s weather.... there´s a story of some US tourists spending a week in Bergen being not so happy with the weather; They asked a young kid, asking: "Hey, does it always rain in Bergen?", the kid answers: "I don´t know, I am only 10 years old" 🤣 And Bergen is somewhat considered a separate entity, there is a saying: "I am not Norwegian, I am from Bergen" Yes I am proudly from Bergen, living in Bergen, and there is no place like this, anywhere as far as I know 😍🤩
@@donjuan123 Oslo er desidert verste byen i Europa, det beste som har skjedd meg er å flytte derfra. Det er derfor det er så gode motorveier der, så folk kan komme fortest mulig vekk fra Oslo
There are more than 5 million descendants from Norway 🇳🇴 living in the USA 😊 I live in city of Hamar in Norway, our friendship city in the USA is Fargo. There is a road here named after Fargo=Fargoveien 😊
the reason for the red paint prevalence on old buildings is that red paint used to be the cheapest, white paint used to be a showcase of affluence, the oldtown in Stavanger used to be coloured as well(it's white now) yes, there was substantial emigration to "younaiten" from Norway (by no means just Bergen), I think some of the highest concentrations of their descendants are supposed to be in Michigan or Minnesota...
@@mari97216 Yes, Minnesota has almoest 1million norwegan-americans and its the biggest in numbers. But Nort and South Dakota is also well represented. I think your thinking of Ballard Washington wich has the biggest 17 mai parade outside Norway.
Between 1820 and 1920 around 800.000 norwegians emigrated to the us. The largest percentage of the population next to Ireland. There are more americans of norwegian decent than there are people in Norway.
Jam - the "lingonberry jam" is not your typical sweet jam. It is very tart. I believe you can try it if you visit an Ikea cafeteria in the US and order the Swedish meatballs. Also you should check out the Norwegian diaspora in the Minneapolis area of the US - and the "Sons of Norway" organization in the US.
I am from Norway 😊,keep up the good work 🇳🇴👏👏👏👏.I am from the west Coast ,and my great Grand father immegrated too US after the second world war from Bergen,many Norweagian traveled for work👍🇳🇴
As a person who has just moved back to Bergen last August to study, I love how excited you get over the small things. I did and still do, Bergen is a culturally and historically rich city with a lot of beauty and charm. I can't wait to see you react to part 2! Thank you as always for being positive and interested. If I can come with some video suggestions (I will put it in the form as well with links), I would like to see you listening to more norwegian patriotic songs like "Norge I rødt, hvitt og blått" and "Norges skaal". Or a video about Norway's independence and the history behind 17th of May since it is coming up soon :-D
Those first medieval buildings you see - Bryggen - are preserved the way they were when first built. But they are still used for business and you can go in between them and even inside them. It's very special and you can feel the history. They were originally used for dried fish in the middle ages (no they don't smell like fish anymore😂). There is also a museum there. The Lepra - museum is a leprosy - hospital originally from the 1400s. But it was also the place where the lepra - bacteria was first found by Dr. Hansen and ultimately made it curable. This is why many today call leprosy Hansens - disease. Yes, you should definately get ice - cream at Hallaisen! Norwegian ice - cream is sooo good. We have the best, cleanest ingredients in the world. And speak of clean - when visiting Bergen (or Norway in general) drink lots of water while you can! We have the purest and most delicious water you'll ever drink. We basically flush our toilets with Voss, sooo... 😂 The emigration from Norway to the States happened between 1820 and 1920 and as much as 800 000 people left. And, yes that hotdog - stand is famous. And very old and full of tradition. The best hotdogs in the country😄🙏❤️🇧🇻
the hanseatic league used fish oil for light.. kinda like candles, but instead of wax, its a small plate with fish oil and a burning wick... and to preserve that authenticity.. we still burn fish oil in some places inside the buildings.. though in a much more controlled enviroment hen it was in the past.. dont want another fire... the exeption being the hanseatic museum where they have 1 room with open candles just to have a set piece to explain what i just said.
Something interesting to note; there was a fire in the building next to Trekroneren in October 2023. Luckily the hot dog stand was not touched by the flames, but had to close the shop for the first time in over 50 years. It's normally only ever closed on Christmas Eve. They did however use the opportunity to do some remodeling, which it really deserves after being in business since 1946 - with the same owner since 1978. At one point (maybe even still) they had the largest selection of hotdogs on the menu in all of Europe - 24 kinds! As well as the largest hot dog in Europe at 250g (0.55 lb). Also, fun fact; the building had been built and been selling hot dogs for nearly 70 years before the municipality went "hold on, you actually never got the rights to have the building built on this property in the first place", to which 'bergensere' went mental and rallied together with local politicians to preserve the deeply loved hot dog stand. It's such an important part of Bergen and its history, we could never let anything happen to it. Luckily it was resolved - as in the municipality decided not to pursue the case (good choice, it's well known that 'bergensere' are very protective when it comes to anything within their city). It's still increasingly popular, and I highly recommend it to anyone who happens to find themselves in Bergen!
I am extremely lucky and privileged to live in Bergen and work as a tourist guide here. The absolutely fascinating mixture of the past and the present, mountains and fjords and all multicultural influences will certainly leave you breathless. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world for sure.
Norwegian here. People immigrated to the US through Bergen from all over the country. Bergen was the prime city for international trade and travel by boat. It was the best place to get on a ship to travel somewhere outside the country. In times of famine and difficulty the US was seen as the promised land of opportunity to a new life.
I’m a body worker in the rosen method, and we were 3 therapist who used to have treatment room in one of the buildings, named Bellgården (Knut Skurtveit written on it)
Although "Bryggen" is the given name, it is simply the Norwegian word for "The docks." It's related to the German "Brücke." Sadly, though the colourful story of the cannonball is a pretty part of our folklore, a recent examination has shown that it's been welded in place with mortar. There is no documentation of this. Was it stuck for a while, fell out, and then welded in place, or was it never embedded in the wall in the first place? I guess we'll never know for sure. Yes, there was a huge amount of immigration from Norway to America. There are many people with Norwegian ancestry in Minnesota and the surrounding area, among other places. (Check out the movie "Fargo.") My grandfather actually went to Canada during the depression, though he returned to Norway later.
I did notice the names in Fargo. Nygaard (lit: new farm), Knudsen (lit: Knud's son), Munk/Munch (lit: munk) are common Norwegian and Danish names. Blumquist and Solverson (lit: Solver's son) is probably Swedish. Solver is from Old Norse, and I believe, used in Sweden to this day. I guess it could come from Sølver, which is used in Norway also. It was not uncommon for migrants to drop the Norwegian letters in their names. The names in Fargo have been changed for privacy reasons, but it's cool that they kept the same trend.
@@AudunWangen - "The names in Fargo have been changed for privacy reasons." The story in Fargo is pure fiction, despite the "this is a true story" opening. However, I mentioned it just because it gives a good description of the Scandinavian ancestry in the area.
@@Yngvarfo Yes. It's fiction, but I believe they were inspired by some real murder and fraud cases, like the murder of Helle Crafts by her husband. She was originally from Denmark, I believe. Her first name is also common in Norway (my mom's best friend has that name).
As for the cannonball in the cathedral, it's not entirely correct to say that "the cannonball is still stuck there". When they renovated the cathedral some years ago, they had to temporarily remove the cannonball. And they discovered that it was mortared in place. So what most likely happened, was that a cannonball did actually hit the cathedral, but that it bounced off and landed on the ground. And after the battle, someone decided to mortar the cannonball in the scar on the cathedral. So the story is true. But the cannonball did NOT get stuck there on its own.
Bryggen in Bergen was built by Olav Kyrre in the year 1070. That's why is special. Plus a lot of history since then. 1/3 of Norway emigrated to the US. There is almost as many Us/Norwegians in America as in Norway.
My grandfather's brother moved to the US and my younger sister visited relatives while she went to Berkeley. As for lingonberry jam... its not like strawberry jam or rasperry jam but rather adds somethings special to dishes with wild meat types (like raindeer or elk) and mainly I've seen it eaten with meat balls... In hindsight I should perhaps actually try it again as I haven't tried it since my childhood.. if then (I've used and use ketshup instead... so I guess lingonberry can be considered a type of ketshup? At least in terms of how its used).
Lingonberries are used similarly to how cranberries are used in America. Very tart, and goes really well with all kinds of meat dishes. Just think of lingonberry jam as the same as cranberry sauce, and you'll probably stop feeling weird about it :)
funny thing is, the statues on the front was because the official language of the hansiates was German, but the loal ofc spoke norwegian. so when a local boy needed something fromone of the hansiats, even of he could not read german or something, they could say: go down to the deerhead farm, and he would know what one it would be because of the deer statue on the front of the bryggen house
Reindeer is delicious. Very low on fat, so you can very quickly make it like leather. My dad (a norther finn wjo grew up with reindeer, curtesy of granddad) taught me to always use beef or pig fat while frying it for stews to get it soft and tender.
2:45 I walked through here to work every day back in the '90s, and almost wet myself laughing when I overheard an American couple concluding that they probably had stumbled over the local ghetto and better get out of there in a hurry.
Bergen has virtually the same amount of sun hours than Paris, London and Berlin - see wiki page: List_of_cities_in_Europe_by_sunshine_duration But yes, when it's not sunny, it rains more often than other places.
They are not statues, Dumbo, but figureheads from which in ancient times told people which businesses were located there. Not that I expect you to know, but…
Remeber.. Bergen is not in Norway.. They pretend to be but they are actually a different Nation.. Called Bjørgvin.. They gave us the black plague. As a decleration of war.. hahahahaha
Tyler, acquainted with Palm Springs, California? (No.) Picture a hotel w/different color rooms overlooking a pool w/palm trees & mountains in the background. The temp is over 40 C. Take the world's biggest rotating tram for 10 minutes; you are now walking on snow w/temp below 10 C. (+ huge Marilyn Monroe statue)
You really don't understand that this is a reaction channel about Norway and not the USA. It must be difficult to go through life with such pervasive, all-consuming cognitive dissonance! Oh, and there's no snow in 10°C, it melts at temperatures over 0°C! Not that I expect you to know, but…
I loved your videos, but you pause too much. Better to let the wievers also get the feel for it, and pause like every 40 sec.. Rewinding is also not a proble, but when the video is also interesting. You stopping all the time too frequently ruins the vibe of the experience. Videos good, but could be better. It's like changing the channel before a goal, or a cliffhanger on tv. And also give the link to the video you are reacting too, cause when you hype it up. We wanna see it raw ourselves.
Bergen has a history that is almost 4 times older than the existence of the United States. AND historic sailing and steamships you can take cruises with! Are you under the impression that one of the world's youngest nations, the United States, has more history than a country and city that is 4 times older? What does that tell us about the level of education in the US and also your poor utilization of it.
Why are you following Taylor when you are so angry and rude? Taylor is a nice person who is also funny. You are either a Swede who lives or has lived in the US or an American living in Sweden where a lot of negative energy is directed towards Norway. I remember in a previous post where you wrote here in Stockholm, and asked why Norway of all countries. Only a Swede gets upset when positive things are written about Norway.
@@l-fw5lg It's a US citizen living in the US. Swedes really love Norway and Norwegians, just as much as we love them. This creature, a.k.a SilvanaDil, has made it clear for two years that it resides in the US.
Bryggen in Bergen has restaurants that are older than the United States. The Painted Ladies were built between 1849 and 1915, but were not painted in the tri-colours that gave them their name until the 60s. At that time, Bryggen in Bergen had already existed in one form or another for 900 years. Do you see the difference? It's called history and culture!
Bergen is a shitty place in Norway. Waaaaay too much rain. Just my opinion though. They have some cute girls, but that’s it. Either live in Oslo or farther North, or live in the summer city like me in Kristiansand, Southern Norway 🇳🇴 And the dialect is sooooo turn-off! But when it comes to girls, Sweden is the place to go 😂
I used to lived in Marken, opposite to Lepramuseet, then moved to Dokkebakken, just a few steps from Sjøfartsmuseet. My kids went to Bergens Barneasyl, Norway's oldest kindergarten (opened 1750, still in the same building) that's right around the corner of the green giant mural shown in this video.
11:22 A lot of my family members emigraited to the US in the early 1900s. I know that mostly because my last name “Digranes” is very unusual and rare and when I google it, a lot of my ancestors come up and it says where they used to live in the US
Tyler, you'd be surprised at what other Americans eat (in addition to reindeer hot dogs) -- bison steaks/burgers, fried alligators, bear, rattlesnakes....
Yes, this is the same hot dog stand you've seen before. It has a long history, and loved by 'bergensere' (people from Bergen).

From 1860 to 1880, one-third of Norwegians left Norway to go to the US, hoping for a better life than they had in Norway.
Did you know that Bergen once was the Capitol of Norway, then they moved the Capitol to Kristiania witch today is called Oslo.

I'm sure there are cool stuff to see in San Francisco, but if I'm not mistaken it wasn't even discovered by white man when bryggen was constructed.
Bryggen in Bergen has restaurants that are older than the United States.
The Painted Ladies were built between 1849 and 1915, but were not painted in the tri-colours that gave them their name until the 60s. At that time, Bryggen in Bergen had already existed in one form or another for 900 years. Do you see the difference? It's called history and culture!
Just dont go to bergen
Bergen is a shitty place in Norway. Waaaaay too much rain. Just my opinion though. They have some cute girls, but that’s it. Either live in Oslo or farther North, or live in the summer city like me in Kristiansand, Southern Norway 🇳🇴 And the dialect is sooooo turn-off! But when it comes to girls, Sweden is the place to go 😂
Can’t handle some rain?

I don't think that smells fish anymore!
I walk with tourists every single day in Bryggen and ...NOPE...not fish smell!.
To be fair, dried fish has a distinctly different smell from wet fish. Smells a LOT better.
I used to lived in Marken, opposite to Lepramuseet, then moved to Dokkebakken, just a few steps from Sjøfartsmuseet. My kids went to Bergens Barneasyl, Norway's oldest kindergarten (opened 1750, still in the same building) that's right around the corner of the green giant mural shown in this video.
11:22 A lot of my family members emigraited to the US in the early 1900s. I know that mostly because my last name “Digranes” is very unusual and rare and when I google it, a lot of my ancestors come up and it says where they used to live in the US
I have been in Bergen only 8 times and 1 of those times is right now because my grandmother and like 1/4 of my familytree were born here
I love Bergen
Tyler, you'd be surprised at what other Americans eat (in addition to reindeer hot dogs) -- bison steaks/burgers, fried alligators, bear, rattlesnakes....
Bobcat
And elk too
And obviously in your case, roadkill, crayons and lead paint chips.
