- Norway and Sweden! Friends or enemies? Rivals or cousins? Are they really that different or not really? Let’s find out today!
Norway 🇳🇴 VS Sweden 🇸🇪
In this video 🎬🍿
00:00 Welcome to Oslo! And Stockholm
01:14 Coffee In Norway and Coffee in Sweden
03:31 Do Not Go Out in Norway or Sweden without proper clothing
04:53 Public transport in Norway and Sweden
06:39 Most popular chocolate In Norway and Sweden
06:55 Both Sweden and Norway: Do not think that you are better than anyone else
07:35 In Sweden: Don’t forget to pay your share of the tab when you go out
08:05 You Never Buy Round of Drinks In Norway
08:51 Queues in Norway vs Queues in Sweden
09:41 In Sweden: Never Talk About Money and how much money you make
10:10 In Norway: everyone know knows how much everyone else is making and money is one of the favourite topics
11:45 Never Be Late! In both Norway and Sweden
12:57 Always Take Your Shoes Off when you are entering the house: both Norway and Sweden
13:58 Sweden and Norway: strong English speaking countries
14:50 both Norwegians and Swedish people are so kind and friendly!
👉🏼 1 🇸🇪 Do NOT go outside without proper clothing
You will here it in Norway all the time! Do you want to experiment? Complain to any Norwegian that you are cold.. I guarantee the first thing you will hear will be ‘there’s no such thing as bad weather only bad clothes”
And then a typical Scandinavian advice: put some layers on!
👉🏼 2 - Think you are better than everybody else
Janteloven is a very important and unwritten law in Norway. It basically says ” You shouldn’t think you are better.” It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have self-confidence, it is more about don’t be cocky no matter how professional or rich you are. Norwegians don’t like people who brag
👉🏼 3 - 🇸🇪 Do NOT forget to pay your share of the tab
After a long work week, Swedes love to go out to a bar with their colleagues to blow some steam off on so-called AWs (After Works)
This will never happen in Norway as there’s no ‘tap culture’ there. Pay for your own drink and be happy
Just to let you know, buying a round of drinks for 4 people in Norway can easily cost the equivalent of a return ticket. From the US
👉🏼 4 🇸🇪 Do NOT cut in front of people in lines
Swedes have a weirdly strong belief in queuing up for stuff, and an even stronger belief in the sanctity of the line order. Cutting in line might be one of the rudest things one can do in Sweden, and will produce a strong reaction from those you have just cut in front of
🇳🇴 Norwegians view queues in much the same way as sprinters view the starting blocks. When waiting for public transport, a Norwegian stands in an orderly manner until the bus comes into view
👉🏼 5 - Do NOT ask how much someone is making
🇸🇪 Most Swedes would be absolutely horrified if you ask them directly how much money they make
🇳🇴 the situation is slightly bit different in Norway. It is considered impolite to ask Norwegian how much he earns
👉🏼 🇸🇪 6 - Do NOT be late (or early) to an appointment
It is pretty much the same in Norway. Punctuality is very important
👉🏼 🇸🇪 7 - Do NOT sit next to someone on public transportation if there's room elsewhere
- I bet you took this one from your neighbours, guys!
👉🏼 8 🇸🇪🇳🇴 another common habit shared between Norwegian and Swedish - Take off your shoes inside
👉🏼 BOTH SPEAK PERFECT ENGLISH
👉🏼 BOTH SUPER FRIENDLY

Thank you 🤗
Stay safe! Be Happy ❤
Sverige!
Yoohooo!!..HALLO...from sexysexy ENGLAND!...Eurovision Central tonight...boogyboogy, rock and rooooolll hahahaha ( This is how us Brits hear anyone from Europe)😂😂🇬🇧🥳🥳
...Bjorn bullhanson brought me here x
Of my experience Swedes are very weird people. Next to them are only French. The rest Europeans are pretty normal.
Norway Haaland goat
Norway is the best country
I am half Swedish 🇸🇪 and have a lot of distant cousins who are Norwegian. 🇳🇴
We all live in the USA. 🇺🇸
I’d love to visit both countries. The Motherland! 🙂
BOTH.......TACO FRIDAY......😂
That's so funny and also very accurate, haha. And the jokes, I know most of them. I think we (Norwegians and Swedes) have the same jokes about each other.
BJORN! Hello, sir! Hope you've had a good week! I'm trying to learn Norwegian so I can read your books. 😁
About, "There is no bad weather, only bad clothes".
According to ChatGPT, it was first on print in Norwegian in 1864.
Written as "Der findes ikke daarligt veir, blot daarligt klæde".
Then in Swedish in 1902 "Det fins inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder".
This is close to how we say it in Norway today "Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær".
I think we can say for sure that Alfred Wainwright dit not come up with this saying.
Tusen takk! ✍🏻😊
You shouldn't trust ChatGPT with facts like this, it could be a total lie.
My ancestors were Swedish, and I found out on 23 and Me that I am 88% Swedish. I have been to Stockholm and Copenhagen but not to Norway. Stockholm was much the way I was raised. Always be on time! No small talk with strangers. Would love to visit Norway some day.
Great vlog as always Anna! A few yrs back a poll was made of where would you live if you could not live in your own country. 2/3 of Norwegians said Sweden. 2/3 of Swedes said Norway. 1/3 said Denmark. 2/3 of the danes said Norway and 1/3 Sweden. Hihi!
*Finland has entered the chat…*
😂
Texas here, I have Norwegian, Swiss, and Czech heritage, I would love to visit Europe and explore some of these countries. Thank your for a look into these countries.
Was concerned about the language barrier but was talking with the girl at the front desk of a place I was checking in to and asked her how long she had been in Norway, she had a British accent. She said she was born and raised in Norway, but watched a lot of British TV shows and English was taught in school.
For the vast majority of the time, was able to get by fairly easily.
I'm from the north of Sweden and I love it here. In the summertime there are always a lot of Norwegians coming here for vacation.. I guess it's cheaper? And I agree, even though our countries joke about each other - It's more like siblings just having a go at each other - tongue in cheek. :) (I also love Norway and the people). Nice video!
Thanks for the video. My family is Norwegian. Would love to visit some day.
Thank you so much for watching ☺️🤗
I hope you enjoyed it!
You should definitely visit both countries 😉
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel I know I must, when I retire in a few years. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love your clear english with a strong accent, pretty girl :)
About the comparison with Kex choklad and Kvikk Lunsj, the Kvikk Lunsj should be compared to Cloettas Sportlunch instead since they are more similair.
In Scandinavia we share the same values. Nature it's kind of different. "Take off your shoes ", for sure, but you can leave your hat on. LOL. Thanks for your upload 👍
Very nice!
There was a Norwegian who once read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 25 miles of your house so they decided to move!!!! There's an American University called Texas A&M and their students and sports teams are called the Aggies and people here make these kinds of jokes about them. Excellent video Anna as always!!!! You should make a video on how to make friends with people in Scandinavia and what you can talk about. Growing up in Germany I am a big fan of the whole no shoes in the house thing.
@Linl Because I live in a not particularly scenic part of the US I love both, but lean more towards the beach
@Linl Thanks for the compliment and the tip. Iceland has been on my radar since Elementary School when I had a teacher who used to tell us about her time there.
I think both countries are wonderful
I prefer Norway. Maybe because I'm Norwegian. 😊
fair enough tbh
Me to
😂❤😂
you did say we in close to the end im going to take it as your on your way back to norway XD
Maybe one part of not talking about income is that it is important to us to uphold the social decorum that everybody is equal. Showing off wealth gets little sympathy in our countries, and are mostly regarded as cheezy, not impressive.
i prefer norway for the quality of life
What!! not sitting next to a stranger on public transport! well that just counts for the southern part of Norway! we here up north in Norway (Tromsø) we´re more than happy to start an conversation with stranger :)
Ja vi er vel høfligere. Trur æ
Nicely done. Being Danish I must agree … Cheers 🍻
If I remember correctly, Sandemose stated that Janteloven was valid all over the world,, "Both Lillesand and Rio de Janeiro"
Yes, according to Sandemose the Law of Jante is universal. It is a law of socialization; how we are raised. The Law of Jante is basically freudian (dream interpretation, Oedipus complex etc) because Freud were very influencial among the intellectuals in the first part of the 20th century.
Hey Anna what was your experience of life in England like?
Ohh what a good question!! I’ll film one of my next video about it 😉
Spoiler: not as good as I expected 😆
Greetings from Uzbekistan to the good people of Norway, I want to meet you
I prefer Norway;) (Because it is a beautiful place). I will still visit Sweden if I get the chance because it is also beautiful:)
Im norwegian and prefer Norway. Narure and safety is better here, but i prefer Denmark. They are more relaxed and liberal. Stockholm is more beautiful and interresting than Oslo though.
Espresso House which you likes, is a Swedish company. I am Swedish and a Norwegian daughter. I love both countries, maybe most Sweden, I do not see Swedes are envy to Norwegians, well they often makes more money, but it is much more expensive to live in Norway also. What we think about Norwegians is that they always sounds so happy like people from Gothenburg. We think are often little behind in trends, but that is not negative, just different speed of life maybe. (but better these days) I wanna say, we Swedes are very rarely tell jokes about Norwegians, but Norwegians are almost crazy about telling jokes about Swedes. Saying this because I have lived a lot in both countries.

Well comparing to other currencies such as Euro... it's kinda the same but still a bit more expensive... about 10 to 12€ if my maths are correct at McDonald's is fair nowadays (French guy speaking)
Hi anna what up hmmm i prefer norway 100% sweden is good I've heard it anoit sweden and is amazing neighbor country to visit sweden on a weekend is just like comparing between canada and the us in hockey btw in mcdonalds norway the big Mac is really expensive tho I've always wanted to try the salsa burger it has nacho chip on the burger yesterday I had a mofongo with shrimps it was so good and delicious mofongo is puerto rican a plantain food
Could you make a video about true norwegian black metal? And why not sweedish black metal as well! Please!
Well, for me are very similar
They both went from brutal Viking warriors to house cats like the Spartans.
Anna, you are so beautiful and look so happy 😊. I want to visit Sweden now. Your hat is very cute 🥰
I lived in both and on the border on a farm in Värmland 1981 as an experiment with no modern day things fishing and growing 2 month
I would only prefer Norway because one of my favorite playwrights is from Norway, Ibsen......and being a history guy I would also visit Sweden as well.
have you ever celebrated 17 may in norway or well attended such party
Take me to either please
I am 1/4 Norwegian and 1/4 Swedish. My last name is Rustad so Rustad came from Norway. I would love to visit Norway and Sweden. By the way I live in Minnesota.
❤
May I say both? 😊
Where are you from originally?
why is alcohol so expensive in both countries, does it really reduce consumption ?
✌❤
You can't seat next to somebody in a train? Aslo how can somebody make friends in these countries like Norway and Sweden? Great vid tho🤟
You can - this is highly exaggerated :) But if there is a double seat available and you choose to instead sit next to someone, they might find you weird.
a train can have several seats available and to sit right next to a person would be very strange
@@peacefulminimalist2028 I think in the entire Europe sitting next to someone would be perceived as very weird. For sure in Poland and Germany. People spread the stereotypes that Scandinavians are that cold but the truth is many European countries are the same.
I’m half icelandic and my experience is that Icelanders LOVE talking to anyone, but only in hopes of catching you saying something idiotic so they can secretly laugh at you
Where is she from originally???
Both hats is ok❤
In private the Norwegians and Danes laugh a little at the Swedes, thinking them rather straight-laced and mechanical, and perhaps slightly too literal.
As a Norwegian American. I prefer Noway. But I would live in any Scandinavian country.
Norwegian American 🤩 best combo ever! Do you live in Minnesota by any chance? 🙂
Thank you so much for watching 🤗 have an amazing weekend ahead 🤍
@AnnaGoldmanTravel Yes, I fact I do indeed live in Minnesota. I was born and have lived here my entire life. Back in 2000, I had the chance to spend a fabulous two weeks in Norway. I got a chance to walk on my ancestors' lands. It felt I was finally home again. Just felt so comfortable.
If you want more nature and fjords then choose Norway. If you want to learn about Nordic culture and history then choose Sweden.
Could you explain that statement a little?
That is not correct, Sweden have a fantastic nature. The nature in both countries are not the same, Noway have more mountains, mostly narrow ones and fjords of course. While Sweden have also fjords but not so many, but a lot of mountains but bigger and wider ones, a lot of more lakes, islands and forrest. I would say they both are great in nature.
@@roxpaceAnd Sweden have more archipelago.
I'm from the north of Sweden.
😊
Swede here. Hope you gonna be sweet to us :)
Never heard of a Swede with your name :P
I came from Stockholm a week ago. I'd called it the cultural capital of Scandinavia
But have you been to Oslo and Copenhagen?
@@peacefulminimalist2028 only in Oslo. Copenhagen no. What can you say about Copenhagen compearing to Stockholm?
@@flexypower Oslo has more cultural events than Stockholm and also markets itself as «capital of culture and nature». In my personal opinion Copenhagen has just as much culture as the other two, so it’s a bit misleading to call it the «cultural capital of Scandinavia».
@@peacefulminimalist2028 i live in Oslo and i also lived in Copenhagen. Oslo is quite boring compared to Copenhagen. Better food scene, more gigs, more liberal and looks alot better. Feels more like a city than Oslo as well no matter how many tall ugly buildings we put up here in Oslo to desperately wan’t to seem like a bigger city. I like living in Oslo but it lacks identity and soul.
@@andywessel I agree with everything you wrote. I’m not from Oslo and also prefer Copenhagen, but as far as cultural events go they’re all three good. None can claim to be “the capital of Scandinavia”.
Fika🇸🇪
Skål!
🇧🇷⚘
🇧🇻
My Norwegian grandmother always said that a Swede was just a dumb Norwegian. 😅 Lots of countries say that weather-clothing thing.
haha
Grandma was feom Sweden ( Sverige)-guess who I side with !
NORGE NORGE NORGE 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
say in säger paa svensk og Norsk jeg elsker deg jag älskar dig love you Goldi
Is Norway part of Sweden, or is it the other way round?
McDonalds is trash but the video is gold :)
If you want to be able to understand what they say, choose neither ;-)
Cheers from 'little brother' Denmark
Sweden
Why is it weird to que for stuff?
Cos I don’t like queueing 😄 waste of time. I’m leaving and going to another place usually 🙂
I have been in sweeden as child, crossed the border😂 Would like to visit but affraid of violence...
Hello. 🇫🇮FINLAND
Shoes you walk outside in is dirty and you ecen steped in dogpoo or snus, æsj!😅
Finland 🇫🇮 is best
Norway
Why aren't Norwegians better hockey players? Sweden has more players in the NHL than anyone other than Canada & USA. Norway has 2. I realize there's a difference in population size, but still...
Got too be Sweden. Beer prices swing it.
I preffer nirway because is not in European Union
Isn't Sweden a county in Norway :p
@Linl I enjoy both
@Linl Absolutely, I find both very calm and relaxing, I am born and raised near the mountains and have spent much time in the mountains hiking in summer and winter time, in all types of weather, digging snow shelters to protect myself from bad weather, etc, first time doing this was on a school trip when I was in elementary school, learned how to survive and take shelter in a snowstorm. Summer the other hand I like much better, not as cold, but rain and wind can make it really cold and uncomfortable, as Anna says in her videos, no bad weather only bad clothes, dress accordingly to the weather. I have not so much experience with the ocean, but have learned a lot since I now live by the sea. I find the sea very therapeutical
41 300 subs and people stop you in the streets?😂
Sweden has better music...
You are so sweet n gorgeous what lovely girl ❤❤❤❤❤
Come home :)
Most of these tips are just uncommon sense, and propper conduct, mind your business don't be arrogant in any culture

Iceland > Norway, Sweden
Sweden have won an Olympic gold in ice hockey whereas Norway hasn’t gotten close. 😂😂😂
In Norway we do our winter sports out in Nature, not in a hall.
@@ahkkariq7406 it’s a beautiful rivalry 😂
@@TheManuel012009 Absolutely! 😇
Just got back from Norway and US is more expensive and uglier on pretty much everything, excluding the nature from this comment 😉
nature is more beautiful in norway, however it is very depressing living with Scandinavian, they are not social poeple . it s not like the rest of europe
Well, this is not an real competition. Sweden is the brother without own meaning, no voice and simple kaos. Ok, they got IKEA...
Sadly Sweden is a land of no own culture, history less...
Sweden have plenty of history
prefer Norway🙂 but sweden is nice aswell !!!
U don't sound nieder Norwegian or Swedish u sound like Balkan people I meen your accent
❤
Aww thank you so much ☺️❤
@@AnnaGoldmanTravel Ya so welcome!
