- An American's view on the people of Norway and his reaction to the Norwegian lifestyle (culture, food, transportation, language, winters, etc.)
More travel videos of Americans talking about what living in Norway is like: • Europe from an America...
Fun fact about Norway: Norway has a higher fluency in the English language than Canada! :)
daNorse you got to be kidding
Here's the thing about Norwegians speaking English. We Norwegians are surrounded by English media. We hear English all the time through movies, TV and other media. So for us it does not take that much effort to learn English. It does to a degree happen automatically. If you're not from Norway and are able to communicate in Norwegian then I'm definitely impressed. It might sound a bit funny if the pronunciation is off, but I know it takes a lot of effort just to be able to make yourself understood. If you were to compare linguistic aptitude it would almost be more fair to compare a Norwegians third language, usually German or French, to that of a native English speakers second. I'm not sure we'd come out on top. :)
"The train system is very well developed" HA!
People may have smaller houses, but the middle class also have a cabin either in the mountains or woods or by the sea, and the rich may have one in each place. Some urban families also has a heritage farmhouse in the countryside where their ancestors lived. So the total area is not necessarily that small. It adds up.
100% agree on the hiking thing. Can walk past 500 people in the streets and not even look at eachother, but once you are 50 meters up a trail you smile and chitchat to anyone you meet. It's so weird :D
I think you pretty much get what you give. Like most people being interviewed in this series he’s a really sweet guy and we are very easilly charmed by those. I’m pretty sure most Norwegians got a far better view of the US as well after meeting these guys.
Thanks for Talking about my country!🇳🇴♥
Hvor er Norge gang?
Jeg er her 🇳🇴
To clarify, "lutefisk" is made by rehydrating dry cod for up to a week in water, soaking it in a solution of lye for a couple of days and then soaking it in water again for at least 2 days to get the lye out. Many drain cleaners contains mostly lye so it's a fairly dangerous chemical, but not technically toxic as the danger is corrosion. The lye used is typically sodium or potassium hydroxide.
I don't like lutefisk, it tastes almost nothing but the consistency is just wrong, haha.
NORWAY is the Best place to live in the World .💙💙💙
Norway was a big up and coming maritime power stretching from viking-era to the 1300's.
But then the Plage struck.
Norway got into the Kalmar Union with the rest of Scandinavia and switched between danish and swedish reign.
1814 we got independence.
And during the second economic (independence-) boom from 1800's onward many of those who could afford it moved to USA, from 5000 to 30000 people each year for a well 100 years,- choking the nations growth potential.
But then we struck oil and people started staying.
6:27 "Fixing telephone wires" I'm Norwegian and that's what I do xD Made me laugh a bit.

The traditional food is really traditional ways of preserving meat or fish salting and drying for the long winters with the exception of fårgal which is fresh lamb and or sheep slaughtered before the start of winter.
A grocery store clerk in norway earns about 20 - 27$ an hour 3500k a month give or take. In USA the average salary is 11,16$ hour for a store clerk
Lye is used with a lot of different foods. Lutefisk, To make Olives less bitter, canned mandarin, hominy, lye rolls, pretzels, bagels etc.

Hello I are Norwegian. The ( Lutefish) story . They have dry fish hanging in a house for that reason ( dry fish) one time the dryer house burn down. The fier man was pulled on with water. The fish look ruin.
Because they don't have much money. They took the fish home to try to save some. When they cooked it it was better they have thinking. Then we got our Christmas dinner 😁👍
After the fire it was much ( aske) it is lye when it comes water on. The soap come from the similar story. Back then the wife was washing the clothes in to the river. They see that clothes how was washed with a small river how comes from the place they have offered a lamb on a fire. Fat and lye will be soap. 👍🇳🇴
Well, It sound like everything is just perfect here in Norway. I'll tell you my friend. We have serious social problems with certain immigrant groups such as those from Africa and the Middle East. Last weekend there were riots downtown due to the turks and the kurds. So Norway is not the perfect country but at least we try. Greetings from Norway.
We spend our time outside so huge houses is a waste of space, resources and money.
thats not true, norway is one of the top countries who spend most money on houses and interior because we stay in all the time
@@MILKLIM interior, yes, because we spend a lot of our time in the wintertime, but they have the mentality of "less is more" rather than the "more is more" in America. Hence why they don't spend so much on things that aren't a necessarity.
@@MILKLIM We don't stay always in, because it gets boring, but sure, majority of the time we do stay indoors. It is koselig. When it's winter ❄
Jeg er fra Norge🇳🇴
In Norway there is no State church anymore, it was removed and made to just churches in 2015 due to our neutral religion stance, so we're accepting to all religions, and shouldn't favour just one.
About the purpose of life: most of the people I know that serve a real purpose to life don't know that they're doing it. They're just being themselves. But if you feel as if you have to find that purpose then stop what your doing and reconsider what your doing.
nice and spot on.
Sweet guy!
