  • Hei folkens! So this weekend a few of my afs friends who live down near Oslo came to visit me and we decided to film a little video for anyone wondering about exchange. I asked questions on instagram and answered some of our favorites. We talked about exchange and the value it can give you so watch till the end if you want to hear it all;) Takk for at du så på, vi ses neste uke! Subscribe for more!

    As a Norwegian I absolutely hate the darkness. It saps so much energy. It is probably the worst thing about living in Norway. But spring time, especially getting into may preparing for celebration of our national day on 17th of May feels amazing. There is a special feeling watching things turn green, starting to hear the birds in the trees and seeing the sunlight flood the landscapes.
    I have spent so much of my life trying to find an alternative place to live than Norway, just because of this darkness. Unfortunately there are many things I love about Norway which I cannot find elsewhere which is mentioned here. I love the trust between people, the safety (I have children), and how you get a lot of trust at work and have a good relation with the boss.
    I have lived in the US and the Netherlands and considered both places for moving. The Netherlands was probably the country I liked the most. But they kind of replaced the darkness with tons of rain. I love Netherlands a LOT and try to go back there every year, but what was negative for me was that salaries are a lot lower there than Norway and housing standards etc is not quite as high. Houses are older and smaller. It is kind of an overcrowded country even if the Dutch did an amazing job at making such a small country really nice to live in.
    With the US I cam crossing my fingers that maybe Bernie Sanders can make it a little bit more Scandinavian. That would make me want to move over there ;-)

    I think my favourite Norwegian word is "bil", our word for car. I never really thought about its origin, but then I realised that they took the loan word "automobil", obviously figured it was too long for everyday speech, and shortened it by just keeping the last syllable. It's like if English ended up calling refridgerators "tors".

    you can technically drink alcohol from the day u are born in Norway, because there are no laws that says its a punishable offence to drink alcohol when u are under 18 or 21(liquor). its only illegal to sell or provide alcohol to someone under the age limit. so if you are under 18 and drink alcohol, you will not get a punishment of kind(fines or prison)

    En viktig grunn til at Norge er et rikt land er dette med tillit. Du er forventet å kunne ta dine egne avgjørelser og ikke spør sjefen din om alt eller vente på lov til å få gjøre noe. Det gjør at arbeidslivet er mye mer effektivt.

    Be careful what you 'learn' about countries from media or from people raised by those media. Make it a habit to check alternatives. Maybe a red hat is the best for everyone?

      Originally gay in English meant 'fun-loving, so that is probably correct. Homosexuals taking the word for their own is a newer meaning, maybe since the 50s or 60s.

      @Neophema 4 года назад +1

      @@helenesellereite3292 On second though, I might have been mistaken. I always thought it was the same word as 'gay' because of the similar meanings, but my etymological dictionary says 'gøy' is from Guy, as in Guy Fawkes.
