    06:22 - Friday is a Cake Day in Norway. And also Short Day in Norwegian Office
    07:21 - Sunday Shopping in Norway. On Sunday everything is closed in Norway
    08:00 - Driving in Norway. How strict driving rules in Norway
    10:15 - Norwegian People. How Norwegian behave?
    11:43 - Christmas in Norway: how people celebrate Christmas in Norway?
    1 - DIY
    In Norway the need to refurbish a bathroom is a time for celebration!
    It’s a chance to get your tools out, roll your sleeves up and enjoy a weekend of serious DIY.
    And, if something goes seriously awry, you can always ask a neighbour. In fact, your neighbour will appreciate being asked! if there’s one thing better than DIY, it’s telling someone else how to do it.
    Your neighbour will also have all the necessary tools stashed in his basement along with a couple of old sinks, some unused kitchen cabinets and a broken chair he is planning to fix one day.
    2 - Outdoor Activities
    If in Italy food is the second religion, here it’s outdoors activities.
    Norwegians cannot imagine spending their life indoors.
    If they have nothing to fix during the weekend, they will go hiking, or skiing or cross country skiing- depending on season.
    3 - DAYLIGHT WINTER TIME
    starting from November it’s getting dark at 4:10pm in the south Norway.
    Northern Norway, I believe, this time of the year there’s no sunrise at all. It’s going to be dark until February.
    Good news what has to be lit up will be perfectly lightened. I’m talking about ski stacks now - no issue to snowboard or ski in Norway in the evenings.
    4 - coffee lovers
    No matter what time of the day, no matter if it’s in the office or ski tracks - Norwegians will enjoy their filter coffee.
    Norwegian culture is more about coffee - not tea like England or Russia.
    5 - Eating at home not in the restaurant
    Eating in the restaurant in Norway is expensive compare to other European.. and even Scandinavian countries.
    Dinner in Norwegian restaurant if you add a glass of alcoholic beverage to it will cost you about £100 per one. That’s 3 courses + a glass of something.
    Even me with 3 sources of income - I think twice before having my dinner out here.
    6 - Everyone is cooking here
    That’s how I see Norwegians : they all speak English and they all can cook.
    So if you are planning to live in Norway you’ll have to learn how to cook.
    Don’t rely too much on the restaurants, eating out and ready to eat food delivery here.
    7 - Every Friday in a cake day in the office and every Saturday is sweets day at home
    Its a tradition in Norway to have a cake day in the office every Friday.
    8 - and on Sunday the supermarkets and other businesses are closed
    9 - driving
    Norwegians love to drive! Every household has at least 1 car, and a simple way to shock a Norwegian is to tell him that you don’t have a driving license.
    Norwegian speed limits are painfully low. The National limit is just 80 kilometres per hour, and any road that goes remotely near a house will have a limit of 50km per hour or less.
    9 - Norwegians are so laid back
    That’s how I saw them when I just arrived to the country.
    They are this laid back because they are perfectly organised!
    They never in rush because they plan their time properly.
    They never miss any deadline because when they work - they work and nothing can destruct them until 4pm.
    11 - Christmas in Norway - ohh it’s a different subject!
    I thought that Christmas is big in England. No way - it’s much cooler in Norway.

      1. Main street Karl Johans gate will be a view. Spikersuppa will also be filled with people skating I guess, if the weather is not too hot. Oslo domkirke is also a place I like to visit.
      2. There is ribbe with sour cabbage, potatoes, julepølse and medisterkaker. Also my favourite, pinnekjøtt, with potatoes, sauce and mashed carrots/turnips. There is also a thing called lutefisk..I don't wish you that bad..😜😂

      2. Christmas dinners with long traditions: Ribbe (pork ribbs baked in the oven, most popular in eastern Norway), Pinnekjøtt (Sheep ribbs that are salted and dried, re-soaked and steamed for 2 - 3 hours, most popular in western Norway), Julepølse (Christmas sausage), medisterkaker and medisterpølser (meatballs or sausages with high fat content and flavored with Christmas spices), Lutefisk (Lye-fish, dried codfish that have been re-soaked and put into a container with lye for a while. This dish is both hated and loved), Juletorsk (fresh codfish, this may be one of the oldest Christmas dinners). However, many Norwegians have embraced other dinners like turkey or whatever else they consider to be the right dinner for the occasion. The best way to try any of these is to go to a restaurant. Some of them will have something called juletallerken (Christmas plate). It will almost certainly contain ribbe, but may also have medisterkaker and perhaps a piece of pinnekjøtt. Another option is to try some of the boxes from Fjordland in the supermarket. They will have pinnekjøtt and juletalerken, and maybe lutefisk. It is OK but it will taste better in a restaurant. Another option is to try to become someones dinner guest.

  • @Snurre99
    @Snurre99 2 года назад +15

    Regarding the speed limits in Norway, you were inaccurate!
    In general, the Norwegian speed limit is 80 km per hour, except for in built-up areas or town centers, where it is 50 km per hour unless otherwise stated. It can be as low as 30 km per hour in residential areas, and as high as 110 km per hour on certain dual carriageways and motorways.
    The speeding ticket is fixed and has nothing to do with your income. But if you drink and drive, the fine will depend on your income. 2 months income in fine.
    The Tesla driving behind you probably had a good time and enjoyed the view 😉

  • @bloodyfitnerd1947
    @bloodyfitnerd1947 2 года назад +6

    You got some things right and some things wrong.
    1. This is wrong. If that was expected then we would not have need for plumbers, electricians , carpenters, ect ect. Simple diy like manage to change your shower head, or unclog your sink, is something most people just know, it's not really expected still, but people find it odd if you can't do really simple things.
    If something goes horribly wrong, you call a professional not your neighbor.
    It's not that expensive, it all depends on the work. the example of a leaking tap is a simple task and you should be able to do yourself, but if not, it wont be expensive. But if a pipe has burst, you better call a pro, not your neighbor.
    2. Outdoor activities is not the "2nd religion" in Norway. Norwegians enjoy the outdoors, but not to the extreme. It's also more likely to see them being social with their friends out on town or at home partying or other social gathering.
    The earliest archaeological examples of skis were found in Russia. Norway did invent a type of ski, but the origin of skiing is not Norwegian, we just perfected it.
    3. Yep, you got this correct, the sun is not up for very long during the winter.
    4. Yep, coffee is consumed a lot in Norway. I personally prefer tea over coffee tho.
    5. You're half right. It doesn't have to be a special anything for people to eat out. People tend to usually make their own food at home, but with foodora and other takeaway, more and more people order food.
    Your prices are a bit off as well. Unless you're talking about a 3 course meal. There are plenty of way cheaper restaurants (with quality food).
    And you've never noticed people eating alone in Norway? You've not been eating out a lot then. Plenty of people have lunch or dinner alone in restaurants, I've done that several times.
    6. That's also not true, not every Norwegian can cook, sadly it's less and less, a lot of people just buy a frozen pizza and put it in the oven, or order food. or put fjordland in the microwave. Ready meals are very popular in Norway because people can't cook. THat's also a big reason for why the frozen pizza Grandiosa is sold so much, it's cheap and easy. During christmas more people buy grandiosa than for example a turkey or pinnekjøtt/ribbe ect ect.
    7. Friday in Norway is taco day, not cake day. And when it comes to the office, that might be a tradition for the office you work in, but that's not a Norwegian tradition. sweets or candy on saturday is usually the norm yes, so you're half right on this one.
    8. On sunday, most things are closed, but not every supermarket or business is closed. There are Sunday opened Kiwi's, Sunday opened Coop stores. Joker is open every sunday most places as well. And there are other Business's open as well on sundays. restaurants, pubs, bars, spa, gyms, ect ect, open on sundays. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, you will be fine going to the stores on a sunday. They are smaller than your regular stores that are open on weekdays tho.
    9. Driving? No, no one enjoys driving, it's just something you need if you live in the middle of nowhere. if you live in the bigger cities, you will get around fine with public transport, or on a bike. Or just walking. And people wont be shocked if you dont have a license (unless you live very secluded .
    There are motorways in Norway that has 120km/h as their speed limit (in certain areas)
    Changing tires at the "garage"? But Norwegians enjoy diy? So there you see, they rather get someone else to do it, tho a lot of people do change the tires themselves.
    No rules for bicycles? Yes there are. If the bicycles is on the road, it has to follow the same laws/rules as a car. (except for the speed part for obvious reasons) ANd if the bike is on the sidewalk, it has to follow the same laws/rules as a pedestrian. The same road signs apply to you as to cars and other vehicles on the roads. As a cyclist,
    10. We're laid back when we're off work. If that tesla driver was on his or her way to work, def would not have been laid back.
    11. Yeah christmas is a big deal, for people with a family and friends. There's also a lot of people in Norway who are alone during the holidays.
    Christmas food? Pinnekjøtt (stick meat, it's lamb ribs pretty much, very salty.) Or Ribbe (pork belly with the cracklin) if someone offers you "lutefisk" run. Turkey is becoming more and more popular but it's not really a norwegian tradtional christmas dinner. Reindeer steak. different regions of norway have different things.

    Born, bred and raised in Norway. Been follow ing your Channel since your first episode of Norway. I do have to say though, although I agree that Norwegian people do like outdoor activities, there are many of us who arent super active. I enjoy being outside in the summer, but i also really enjoy being inside. Especially during the Long winter months. Sometimes you make it sound like all Norwegians love hiking all the time or doing something extreme at all times. Not true 😆

    I like tea with milk and sugar 😅
    It sounds nice with cake at work each Friday, but I’ve never had cake in any of my jobs😂
    When we lived in Bergen we ate out 3 days a week, and it’s not true that we only eat out on special occasions.

    Yes, even that Norwegians do love to fix things themself, or build their home, or cabin... thing is, some things you have to hire other by law... so if you want to fix the electricity.. you have to have an electrician (unless you are one yourself ofcourse), its also because if you are to sell your house you have to prove that there have been a certified electrician, or plummer for that matter doing the job, or you will have problems and financial problems trying to sell the house where there have not been certified electricians or plummer doing that type of jobs.

    Only people from outside of Nordic countries mention the lack of daylight during winter, here we just take it as it is, because there's nothing we can do about it.
    When it's dark it's indoor time with movies and other koselige things, when it's sun it's outdoor time!
    Norway is the country which consumes most amount of coffee per person, we have been so for several years.:D - Coffee is only coffee if it's black, if you put milk in it then it's not coffee.:P
    More and more people in big cities choose to not get a driving licence, simply because most things they need are nearby.
    PS: There are rules for bicycles, when a bicycle is on the road(as it should be, I myself is a cyclist) we have to follow the road traffic law just like any other motorized vehicle.
    Tip: always be in the center of the lane, it denies dangerous overtakes by silly car drivers.

    Please Anna! It is NOT common to have cake in the office on Fridays, on the other hand it is very common with TACO dinner at home. From earlier times it was common with BLACK coffee, but today the variations are large, so it is not possible to ask if it should be black or white, because Norwegians often take what is available.Max 80km / h? Which highway have you been on. Lives only about 40 km without you, and the ones we have are 100km / h on, and if you drive on the E-18 south you will find 110km / h, the same on the E-6 direction Sweden. And when you talk about Sweden, so it is also there common with deck hotels, even in Germany it is starting to become more common! And Anna, be careful where there are pedestrian crossings, because they have the right of way, ALWAYS! Happy Cristmas

    Superb video! I myself think it's very important for people to know the DIY importance in Norway. Really a struggle to begin with but ofc it becomes something you like later on! The filter coffee is really good for us who have keep awake 15+ hours sometimes. BTW I have a question, is 2 stroke engine actually banned in Norway? I was fined twice by the cops for riding a 2 stroke bike that I have. Would love to have a confirmation on this! And... Well, coming to Oslo? How bout' a coffee? 😀

      @@AnnaGoldmanTravel "Grense" is the Norwegian word used for both "border" and "limit". So we'll often refer to south or north of "promillegrensa" (alcohol-limit/border), as an actual geographical location. This suggests that the limit does not apply north of the border. The same attitude is valid for "fartsgrense" (Speedlimit). So, yes: 110 is the highest limit on the motorway, south of "promillegrensa".

    about but norway is a bigger country than oslo in the north where there are not so many offices and the wilderness is on your doorstep you do not go hiking if you do not really need some wood or some meat
    walking around in the woods of oslo is not considered hiking it is like walking the dog in park in london
