This is a commissioned video, our first, for Osloregionen. One of their missions are to attract foreign students and talent to the capital of Norway and its surrounding municipals.
This is also a teaser for a more comprehensive yourway2norway (your travel guide to Norway and to understand the Norwegian culture) video with the same participants, more info / advices and probably with a bit more cringe and satire in it.
Even though this is a commissioned video, we have no problem publishing it on our channel. This is due to the fantastic people we met making this - the stars of this video. And a very cool & nice client who gave us free reins to solve the mission our way. Thanks a lot to all of you guys!

Travel to Norway, going to Norway, how is it in Norway, Norwegian life, life in Norway, study in Norway, Norwegian
So I effectively speak at least four languages: English, American, Australian, and Canadian.
👌😉
You can probably speak New Zealandish and one of the South African languages too!
Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And Jamaican Patois! ;)
Mouldy CPU same my friend, same
The Canadian language..???!!! English or French I assume. I have never heard anyone say I speak Canadian .... Great video ...
Hehe, I think Canada has become more self confident. She actually meant that both languages, "Canadian", helped her.
Thanks!
I wondered, too. Which Canadian language? :)
Maybe it's Algonquin, or Cree. Inuit? She sure doesn’t make it sound like it’s plain English.
Norwegian is a bit of a pigeon / pidgin language, folks who know some English or German pick it up a bit more easily. But like anything the more effort made, the easier it is to read or make sense of it. However I will add, I can barely remember my conversational French now as I tend to automatically translate English to Norwegian in my head. There's no room for French anymore ... Sorry, France!
I was thinking about studying in Oslo just a few days ago! This feels like it's a sign that I really should do it.
It is! Come now. See you soon 🤞
That is ai checking your search history actually
See you there mate i also want to go
Hi clint💗💖💕
Me too lol
What I like about studying in Oslo is that the city gives a lot of activity options for foreign students to know the city, history and culture and get to make new friends! Oslo is a very beautiful city so going outdoors will never be boring.
Omg, love your take on the city I live. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us :)
There is no better channel to serve as an ambassador for Norway. Congrats!
Thanks DrKate L 😍
Hi kate💕💖
"Walk like a Penguin" when it is icy. Such good advice! :-)
It really is!
It's the B side to "Walk Like A Norwegian", the upcoming sequel to that classic 80s song "Walk LIke An Egyptian" LOL
@@scandinordic LOL! That's a good one! :-)
sure - and then theres *isbrodder*! Like strap on spikes/cleats for your shoes!
It only makes me want to visit even more!
Thank you for such incredible content! ❤️
Awesome to hear. Thanks :)
"I am able to read the language because it has similarities to the Canadian language" What??? :)
Riiight? I'm like, "What?"
She speaks both french & english, "canadian"(cool expression) , and they help her to understand more here :)
Micmac. Norwegian resembles Micmac.
Yippie as far as I can tell Norwegian goes not resemble French or English and I lived there for 3 years and learned to read Norwegian (mostly by watching television subtitles while folding laundry!)
@@susanorr7451 I would personally agree. However, the woman from Canada seems to be able to find some correlation between the languages and it was able to help her to learn Norwegian. English, German, and Scandinavian languages are distantly related. Much more so than the Romance languages such as French. People say that many Norwegian words closely resemble English - as does the structure of the two languages. I was just having a little fun when she referred to the "Canadian" Language.
Nice short video! I look forward to the long version. :) And it's good that you guys are trying new approaches to the video-making.
I’m an American (USA) international student in Norway and 😂😂😂😂. They left out the part where you’re sitting in the graduate room eating brown cheese and “crabsticks” trying to solve chemistry problems until 2am. Norway has been very nice to me though and the nature really is beautiful.....maybe could use a little more spice in the food and uhhh in the outward extroversion area haha. But I don’t mind being the one to talk to everyone first 😆.
They are friendly but definitely nervous and awkward at first, really open when they get to know you though. Also as a side I’ve met many other foreign students here as an international student some of whom my country banned and I would never have the chance to meet. And in that way Norway has played a middle ground for people even from the multicultural US to meet others.
The crabsticks and weird tubes of food though is an actual thing...also why black licorice...just why 😂
Love your story from Norway Malgorbia! It's awesome and true. Wait until the longer version of this video, then more of what you say will come out ;)
Thanks for sharing with us!
Can you please tell more about entering a uni there for ppl without Norwegian language skills? Personally, I'm interested in marketing but not able to find anything in english(
Anastacy Moongy i don’t know about marketing I am doing environmental engineering with a focus on water quality and water engineering. For me I just googled masters programs and found some. Not everything is in English. Almost all undergraduate (bachelors) will be norwegian only. Some masters programs are in English. I went to the specific schools I was interested in websites and looked there if they had the program I was looking for. Sometimes I had to translate the websites myself to find the English pages. After that I just sent my transcripts and such and waited. I will say that business and marketing (I used to work in that field in the USA before going back to school) tends to be something that when looking for a job you will have better luck if you go to school in the place you want to work in. So if you were looking to work in Norway in business and marketing you NEED to know Norwegian. Without question. But if you’re looking to just go to school and return to your native language country then it’s fine but also it will be easier to get employed back home in that field if you do school there. (If thay makes sense?).
But yeah it’s different for engineering and science. I do plan to return to the USA after I am done which ofc changes my advice and experiences. : )
Are Americans from the USA?
I agree--beautiful, quiet and very homey especially in winter when snow tends to give a very "closed in" kind of feeling.
Poetry! Thanks for sharing :)
This just warms my heart!
Looking forward to study in Norway ❤️
Welcome to Norway! :)
Nice video! This channel should have more than one hundred thousand subscribers, because of it’s quality. Keep on the good work! 💕
Wow, thanks!😀😀😀😀😀😀
Found your channel after doing a Google search on “being an exchange student in Norway”. After watching your videos (and finding out that some Norwegian university education is free), I’m applying to graduate school in Norway! Thanks for making this (and your other) awesome videos! 😊
That's very motivating to hear Nana! Thanks for watching & engaging. Welcome to Norway, we need you here. Big hugs from Ronald and Mads :):)
I've been looking for postdoc scholarships in Norway cuz I'm sure it's my place in the world! I love the cold weather and your sense of humour! Congratulations on your first commissioned video :)
Thanks! Hope to see you around soon :)
Beautiful!! I should tell my kids to go to school in Oslo, they might really like it!
Hope you do, we need talents from abroad! Thanks Kristin :)
Due to me being an American of half Norwegian and German heritage, I loved the segment with the German student, 'cuz it appealed to both sides of my background!
Oh, to be a young student again! I hope to visit some day so I can see where my ancestors came from. The scenery in the video is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi linda💕💞
Awesome, can't wait for the full version of the video. I'd like to study in Norway myself next year :) Greetings from Poland!
Cool to hear! Thanks. Welcome to Norway :)
TY Ronald. Norway is so beautiful.
Great quality! I love your videos, especially about the matpakke. Never gets old!
Thanks :):)
Good job, guys, well done! I especially liked that "Mikey" the sock made a cameo appearance!🎤🧦
Haha, thanks. Mikey is a must to let loose in front of the camera.
Congratulations on a great topic and presenting an interesting perspective on Oslo. As a Canadian I can’t speak
Norwegian, however I have friends who are of Scandinavian decent who would manage very well. I wish to visit Norway someday because to a Canadian the weather and especially the winters, will make people like me feel very much at home.
Beautiful views of the city!
Really interesting video, thank you! Love to see authentic experiences from people who aren't originally from there. Very fascinating!
That is very cool & nice to hear JB Khan. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks guys! Just finding things I missed.🤩🇳🇴
Very educational and interesting. Great to see so much of Oslo through the World’s eyes🧡
Totally agree, it's an interesting angle
Oslo is truly a most Beautiful city, so glad its possible to study and also work not having to know Norwegian, God I love that English is universal! :)
I can't wait to go 🥰 I plan on either going to finish school there as it makes the most sense for what I want for my career or just straight up move and work in Norway. I know it's a hard process, but some of the best connections I have had with people has been with Norwegians and I have really fallen in love with the landscape, culture and way of life. I also find the language easy for me to pick up as I can read some Swedish and speak English and having those bases makes a lot of it rather intuitive (as in things mean what I think they would most of the time)
Think you generally make Norwegians very proud of all your comments :) Thanks a lot for sharing. Good luck with your choices
Vid is very well put together!
It looks so beautiful there! 🙋♀️
...”like a turtle.”? I’m half Norwegian. I guess it does take me awhile to make close friendships.
We all do take our time...
Only 3 minutes? Oh please post again soon🙋♀️🦋💜
We will!
I'll be going to Oslo in January as an exchange student! I'm so excited! :)
Welcome :)
Congratz on ur commission!💙👍👍
Thanks :)
This place looks so pretty!
Beautiful way to showcase the city, guys. Very very nice X ps. I see it's commissioned. Gratulerer!!!
Tusen takk :)
I would love the opportunity to study abroad in Norway. Unfortunately, i've heard it's extremely expensive for cost of living and I just don't have the funds to make it possible
Well made.. thanks for other amazing video
Hei 13 13 :) Happy you liked it. Thanks. Hyggelig å høre fra deg igjen!
Wow, you really went over the moon with the editing on this one! Definitely one of your best videos! It was nice seeing the students share their experiences on living in Oslo and some of them really cracked me up! Btw a new video so soon? Is this Valhalla? Great performance to you Ronald and Mads and good luck to all the uni students!
Oh and a special message to you YW2N I am one of your 588 followers on instagram :))) I post nature from my trips to Norway and Romanian winter there sasha_rachita_minculescu if you want to check it out. By the way are there any new merch designs on the way because I have some spare cash :))
Thanks Thunder! We 🤞🤞 we are able to create a new soon. Mads is overloaded with ordinary work these days.
@@Skald99 yes indeed we have designed fantastic new merch for YW2N, head over to ScandiNordic.com and take a look you won't miss it!
SCANDINORDIC Dot Com Takk for hjelpen!
Oh, the things I would do if I had to do it all over again.
I like nerway
I am amazed at how most Norwegians are able to speak English even though Norway is not an English speaking country. Even students from abroad feel comfortable living there without having to worry about language barrier. Even you guys, Ronald and Mads, speak English very fluently. 😃It's just amazing!
Do Norwegians learn English from a very young age?
Thx a lot. We (Ronald and Mads) grew up with MTV and American movies that were not dubbed, and was taught english since early on in school. In Norway, English has been a subject for all pupils since 1969 and has been compulsory for all first graders since 1997. Best Mads :)
Actually love your videos....truly hope I can visit your great country some day👏😉
Thanks for your very nice comment. Welcome to Norway 😊
happy to see Carol homegirl , one love from China
Lovely video. (It did cut out a bit abruptly.) I went to university in the U.S. (a long time ago). Unfortunately, I did not know any language well enough to take classes in another country in anything other than English. Perhaps had I gone to Germany, my German would have evolved enough. I'm afraid I was too timid to see. As I've said before, I enjoy these videos and have come to learn so much about Norway. As others have said, you are a great ambassador for Norway (even in the videos where you have gentle fun with Norwegian habits). I was looking at schools in other countries this weekend (just for fun). That is why this video suddenly popped up.
Hi Jan96106 - thanks a lot for your very cool & nice comment! We appreciate it! Cheers from Ronald & Mads :):)
Very kind video!
Cool to hear Ben. Thanks :)
What a gorgeous city and beautiful country. Your lucky to live in such a nice country.
Thanks a lot! Your comment make Norwegians proud :)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY No problem, its true. If I didn't have a severe fear of flying I would take a trip there and maybe, just stay.
You guys did it again! Another great video. Would love to have seen more. Especially their take on Norwegians. Apparently, Ronald and Mads are little turtles that walk like penguins.
Haha, thanks Mack Dave. Cheers from us :):)
I think I just learned something. Thanks.
Cool to hear. Thanks Jerry
Oslo looks like a beautiful city.
It can be!
I love learning about your country. Best wishes from my little corner of the world in Alabama.
I m kinda a confused about which college to choose n yesterday took a look at the colleges in norway and after watching this i really want to come there
Still waiting for the full video Ronald, I'll book my tickets if I like the full version of this. Btw Julia from Germany is cute af.
Hi potemkin. We will launch the "how to get work as a student in Oslo" video tomorrow. Thats sadly without Julia, only Victor. But next, after that is Julias show - she will be the star and the guide.
Jeg elsker Oslo❤❤❤
Jeg også!! :)
This video makes me want to be a student again (in Oslo, of course) ;)
Muito obrigado Sofia :) Never to late in Norway. Easy to combine with being a mãe 🤞🤞
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Heheh estou de acordo! 🤗
I loved this video! I miss you guys videos! please make more! I love Norway it is what I wish The USA was more like!...
Thanks Shaun Vargas. We have recorded a new one, and are in the process of editing now. Cheers from Ronald & Mads :):)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Awesome thank you!!
Just a great vlog, i was enjoying it however, it just stopped abruptly?? was that meant to happen..??
Thanks christine r. Yes, it's a short teaser for a longer, more comprehensive video we will publish later.
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
This makes me want to quit my job and become a student again!
Never too late ;)
Would being a art student here be a good idea I’m looking at places and I don’t know what to do?
I’m thinking about trying to get into the University of Oslo’s graduate program for human rights and this video made me want to come even more.
That's so nice to learn. Thanks for sharing! Welcome to Oslo and Norway :):)
But.. "there is lots of cold here" haahaa. Indeed.
The colder it gets the cheaper the beer and wine should get Yes?
I love that idea!
But, all restaurants with out door seating have heat lamps, keeping their guests rather worm when it's cold outside, so I don't think we will get any discounts. Also, it's not allowed to give discounts on alcohol in Norway. If a bar does that, they can lose their right to serve alcohol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cheap beer and wine in Norway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Malgorbia Lol, no, that's not going to happen... :P
Thank you very much for this video guys! Do you know if there's a link or something where i can find more info? Since i'm not european i'm not really sure about how could i get into doctoral studies there. Thank u again!
We are happy to hear that you want to study here :) Try this link: www.studyinnorway.no/
Hey may I ask you , if the job market in Norway is good for International students or not
I Went to Oslo this summer, soo lovely city
Awesome to hear! We need you. Welcome to Norway and Oslo
YOURWAY2NORWAY takk :)
Is it okay for malaysian students to apply there??? Does it pricey for the students?
Nice video.
Thanks!
Very interesting video !!
I'm finishing my master degree in Computer science and after that I'd like to make a Phd in Norway because I like modernity, technology and nature !!
And the cold for me is ESSENTIAL for my wellness !!
I love too nature, high quality of life, low pollution and clean water !
And to live in a country where your personal space is respected is essential in my opinion !!
Omg, you would really love it here Alessandro. Cool to hear from you again :) Hope to see you here soon
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I need before finish all my exams and after that make a thesis in Helsinki.
I need that my average grade to be B that is equivalent a very high grade in Italy, improve my English at C1 and make a perfect Thesis, all is mandatory to be accepted like a Phd student in Norway.
So it is not easy but I want to invest my time and my energies for this goal !
To live in Norway like a Phd student is my dream because I love Scandinavian countries so much for many reasons !!
I was asked what I wanted for Christmas, so a family member is getting
me a "Matpakke" t-shirt. I can hardly wait!
Ohh, that´s so sweet & motivating to hear April Lewis. Merry Christmas to you and your family from Ronald & Mads 😍⛄😍
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY A comment from you guys too? This is a Merry Christmas! Same to you. And thank you for your informative and fun videos all year round.
Lovely vid. X
Thanks :)
I would love to talk to Carol on how she got to do this because gurrrrrrllll this gots me up at night
Ya'll made it sound like Norway is amazing. What about the reserved culutre? Difficulty of making friends, cold dark weather for months? The depression issue ?
Thx for your question. This is a paid job and we fronted the upsides this time (which gave us a new camera 📸 😊😊). We still are what you express. We are shy, introverted and living in the dark. But, at the same time, norway is not the worst place to go for a student or anybody else. Some really like it here. Like these students. Best Mads 😊
As a Canadian I gaurentee the Canadian woman is from B.C
Can u guys make a video about ... fashion in Norway...like the mauris sweater..sami dress etc
This is a video about fashion in Norway. Have to disappoint you a bit: no Marius genser. Sorry 🙏. Best Mads 😊ruclips.net/video/8C-qvbPVr4A/видео.html
Are you giving scholarship which are fully funded
I hope to go to this heaven one day
Welcome :):)
ahhhhhh, I reay hope I can do this in two years!
We agree!! Hope to see you around then :)
And love your content. You are brave and a good role model. The world needs you. Norway and Oslo need you
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY ohhh thanks!
I agree that there are lots of similarities between Norwegian and the "Canadian Language". For example "hvorfor" is like "wherefore" in old english. And "som" "like" "comme" in French, so yeah, in the end it's all the same, det samme, le même :) Totally Magotally Canadian.
yes that's how I initially remembered and learned too. Unfortunately now all the college French has dropped out of my head as I am always mentally translating in a Scandinavian language LOL
Love the Canadian language :)
I was a foreign exchange student to Tonsberg, in 1988-89, from the USA. It was the very best experience of my entire 50 years LOL I am very close with my family there, and am still fluent. Some of the new slang is lost on me though LOL
Cool to learn! Thanks for sharing your story with us :):)
Im thinking to study in oslo but the thing is..I have trust issues and anxiety and depression and asthma😳and Im scared to be alone!
Is it free even for a foreign student? Nice to know things in your country... i would like to visit someday
Welcome to Norway:):)
Congratulations on your first commissioned video! I just got into it and then it was over. 😥 So I can't wait for the other video(s)! You had beautifull views of the city! Makes me want to go there.
When I was a student I only considered studying in Italy but I never did. Too much adventure!
Btw: I like the taste in socks your microphone has.
Haha, this is an updated sock 😂 Never to late to learn something new. Welcome to Norway Anka and thanks for always being nice :)
I also wanna come there.
Welcome to Norway :):)
Oh, 😕 this video was so short. Wish it could have lasted longer. It was very peaceful and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks! I know. This is a commissioned video and a short teaser for longer yourway2norway version with a bit more fun and cringe to it ;)
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Luv cringe.
Beautiful Julio from Deutschland :)
in order to take a master/magister in Oslo, do i have to speak norwegian? or english is enough?
English is good enough. Most of our education in that level is in English. If you have any other questions, use the oslopolitan.no link in the description. Good luck! :):)
Great work guys ronald you are very calm normally you have spaghetti arms a lot ha ha love you guys keep it up x
Haha, thanks Kath :)
Your very welcome xx
Hi, how can I get in touch with any x students or present students at oslo to find out more about the uni? I would like to do my Masters in architecture. Please do help out, if you can :) Thanks
Hi Natasha Ann. Check the description, there is a Facebook link. If that does not get you in touch with other students, try searching for the FB group; New to Oslo. There you will find other both present and past students. Good luck and welcome to Oslo, Norway :)
Interesting group looking forward to future eps. Maybe a happy spin on WW2 - if at all possible - why it all good in Norway now? I recently have an understanding of Nazi occupation - which is a soft word for extreme hardships of Norwegians from 1940 - 1945 NO LIFE. Canada allowed for two air-force training facilities, north of know as Little Norway in Toronto and moth of Toronto. Have feeling homogenized so a young German student doesn’t think about occupation of 75 years ago.
As citizen of the USA I feeeel for the situations various indigenous people have had to coped with
Too heavy??
Ronald is descended from indigenous Norwegian, specifically Sea Sami. I'm hoping they do a video about this some day. If you are interested in Sami culture there is a fantastic IG account of photo restoration, @colourmypast and on Facebook it's Colour Your Past. the fellow who runs it, Per Ivar Somby, is a fantastic historian and very modest about his considerable impact on preserving indigenous cultural heritage.
Yes, other than Ronald holding a Sea Sami flag on National Day, I don’t recall anything else.
Hi I want to study medicine in Norway and I’m willing to learn the language. However here in Africa there’s no way I can do the Norwegian Language tests and this admissions requirement for all universities. Do you think I should first do one year language course in a Norwegian university and then apply the year after for medicine? How do you think I can meet this admission requirement?
Good questions. In the description of this video there is a link to people that can help you further. I will also suggest to look up different Facebook groups, like New in Oslo. There you might find ppl that was starting at the same point you are. Good luck and welcome to Norway :)
YOURWAY2NORWAY I’m sorry but I can’t find the link to the people that you mentioned is it the ‘yourway2norway’ group members on Facebook?
How often would university students go downhill skiing ?
Often! Best Mads 😊

What is that floating sauna? Interesting... :)
It's a big thing these days. There are 3, 4 just where I work. Small saunas on a float on the fjord. Many swim too when taking these saunas, both in winter & summer.
Have to go there 🇳🇴 😄😄
Welcome to Norway & Oslo :)
I will start a PhD in February, by seeing this I think I have made a good choice, and I feel so lucky for being selected for the program. My only concern is the cold :c (I come from a place were temperatures are above 30-35 C).
Omg, where are you from, if I can ask? 😲
Welcome to Norway!! True, it can be cold some days during winter. But our houses are warm ( Carol had 30 C in her flat when we recorded) and wool clothes will help you outside
@@millacamilla3327 from the south of Mexico, were winter is 28 C degrees hahaha
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Thanks, I will try to buy the suitable clothes (I literally do not have any winter clothes). At least will be interesting see the snow for the first time :D
@@NicoxSD Hahaha, that's why you are worried about the Norwegian cold... 😄😄😄
What is this thing called "the Canadian Language"? I know French. I know English... But what is Canadian?
Hehe, maybe it's the mix between the two languages ;)
Is it possible to go to university there without speaking Norwegian??
Yes!
Do u know the most well travelled Norwegian herald baldr? 😁 I M a GP in the uk planning to work in norway
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Do university of Oslo provide engineering bachelors in English?
Yes! Check out this link: www.oslomet.no/en
I had my Erasmus in Oslo and I find comments of those people pretty funny.
Remember getting 500 EUR per month from EU which was enough to pay the rent for student housing (Kringsjå) but anything more was quite painful to buy (well maybe because I used 1000 EUR before even getting to Norway but still).
Remember buying 20 kgs of Basmati rice from Arabic shop in Grønland and eating it almost everyday...I hate basmati now XD.
Remember going to Rema or Kiwi and look on the price tag and then what that product is and how can I prepare it (First Price products and F Class bread were my best friends).
Remember preparing my breakfast when the Sun was already down.
Remember all those sober parties when only a few people could afford couple of beer cans.
Remember drinking homemade wine made of FirstPrice Apple juice made by my friend and thinking it was great.
Remember not getting any job because I couldn't speak norsk and they wanted my to be "Master in Norwegian" even to cultivate flowers.
Remember shivering from coldness in my warmest snowboarding jacket.
Remember smoking cigarettes bought on a tax free on a ferry to Denmark which I intended to sell for profit but everybody quit smoking because it was too expensive so I smoked it all while being stressed as hell of manace of failing even one of my final exams and had to pay back my uni 20 000 EUR (sic!). Gratefully I passed everything ^_^!
Remember that "friendly" Norwegians always turned out to have latino ancestors.
Remember having to pay for a cloakroom when entering the party and the second time when leaving it early (btw. Ronald tell me...was I scammed there or it is really that retarded custom?)
Remember having to take a taxi from a party (because there was no night metro) and telling my travel partners how much left money I have and they saying it is not possible to survive for that little money to the end of the year.
I remember depression, being poor like a hermit, a lot of homework and social isolation...
...but still remind myself those days with a happy tear in my eye because that Erasmus was so crazy nobody expected it and in that community of depressed students we tried to still have fun and laugh about it :D.
I highly recommend going to Oslo for your studies - it teaches you to appreciate what you have at home like no other thing ;).
Haha, and this - ladies and gentlemen - is also a part of student life in Oslo! Norway is expensive. But I think it is easier to find work without speaking Norwegian these days. Your advices still work; First Price and Grønland is a must for students here saving money on food. Yes, I am sorry you were scammed... Love your story about being a foreign student in Oslo. Thanks a lot for taking time & effort sharing it. Thanks and cheers from us :):)
How do they handle the cold weather? The lowest temperature in my country is mostly around 21 degrees Celsius and I don’t know if I can survive the cold weather lol😂😂
Hehe, a question that many in the world are thinking about when it comes to Norway ;) What can I say.. it's exotic. You should try something new 😜 Thanks for sharing and engaging. Cheers from the team
I heard there is a saying in Norway that is along the lines of, "There is no bad weather, just bad clothing choices." What I have learned is that when it comes to cold weather it's all about layering!
Wow, you are Norwegian already. That's a very, very Norwegian saying and philosophy. I think you will fit right in!
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY - What an honor it is to be considered an honorary Norwegian!! You just put a smile on a Miami native's face. I'll live there one day!
