There was a huge case in New York 15-20 years ago, where a Danish mother was arrested for leaving her baby outside a restaurant, although she was in clear sight of the stroller. Here in Denmark we didn't understand why it was such a big deal. But it was all over the news in the US.
The stroller outside thing, is a thing all over Scandinavia. The simple answer is that it is very safe to do but people usually sit so they can watch the baby...
Trondheim is my favorite town in Norway, lived there for 3 years, and the home of my ancestors. The town is home of the mighty Rosenborg (football team also). Nice cathedral from 1100-1200s, and in general a pretty town. Cold winters... But nice town. And very nice people.
Parabéns Luiz. Eu vou aplicar para PhD ano que vem, espero ter o mesmo êxito que você. E não se preocupe, ela é portuguesa, vai entender toda a nossa conversa. Boa sorte para todos nós.
Im from Norway, and I loved this video. Everything was so accurate!! I actually had to laugh a little bit. You have understood our culture so well! So exciting to watch your videos!❤️
Love your videos :D The baby stroller thing... I guess it's because of two things. One is the practice with letting kids sleep outside when they nap during daytime. The second is the level of trust here. It's considered safe to do this most places :)
Here in Portugal, in my office we leave early on Fridays too, and when the national selection on football is playing, we don’t work too. We have Friday cake too in my office.
Thats way back in the days (when it was common for woman to be housewifes). Now its more like 17.00. Who he hell gets off work in time to have dinner 15:30?
Dag Ut I said WE eat at 15:30-16:00. I am infact a stay-at-home mom to a little child. My boyfriend, whom I live with, works shifts where he’s ether done at 13:00 or 21:00 (if he doesn’t have the day of). And in that case we still eat middag at 15:30-16:00. So yeah, thanks for the input, but a lot of people are home with kids all day, and a lot of people have jobs where they get off before 15:30.
The stroller thing; Nature and fresh air is valued highly in Norway. If you see a stroller somewhere don’t be alarmed, the baby is safe and sleeping soundly, well clad and warm, while the mom or dad is close by.
0:24 This is only for professions with variable office hours me thinks. But, yes a lot of people leave early on Fridays. And some of those who take the Friday off, travel to their cabins on Thursday evening. 3:32 KveldS mat = evening food / supper. Can be eaten anytime in the evening after getting hungry again. 5:37 Double open sandwich, twice the fun ;) 6:56 Also in Sweden. You can also get it unpacked, so you can make the size you want. The worst is when people throw away snus at the ground or other easy to see places.
At my work there is fredagskake every week. Many of my coworkers take the day off or leaves early on fridays to go to their cabins to hunt, relax or do sports. The winter games or football (depends on season) is always on a screen somewhere at the office and everyone brings matpakke for lunch 😅 Not really proud of some of our habits, but they are so normal in a lot of worplaces that you don't really think about how weird they are.
Yeah, leaving the baby outside in the stroller happens, and whether it’s a good thing or not, is a debate that’s been ongoing for some decades now. It also is a debate I’m not prepared to participate in anytime soon, as I don’t have any kids (at least that I’m aware of), and if I do end up getting any, I don’t think there’ll be a chance of me leaving the wee-un in the pram outside, neither here in Ireland or on any visits back in Norway. Kveldsmat = supper ; relatively common in all the Nordic countries. Also in UK and Ireland, but here on the isles, the meal called “tea” (not to be confused with the beverage of the same name) is often interchanged with it. Either a large dinner for tea and something light for supper, or the exact opposite, e.g. sandwiches and scones for tea and a hearty dinner for supper. Stacked open sandwiches for packed lunch reminds me of school. You can also get separator sheets (“mellomleggspapir”) to put between each sandwich. Homemade jam is delicious! I remember my grandma making jams and jellies from all sorts of berries and fruits. I’m surprised I didn’t get diabetes with the sweet tooth those jams gave me. Snus originated in Sweden as an alternative method of consuming tobacco, because soldiers were not allowed to smoke near ammunition. It quickly gained popularity in Norway too, mostly with soldiers and rural population. It’s venture into the urban market didn’t soar until the indoor smoking ban in 2004 or thereabouts.
In Israel, everything shuts down around noon on Friday, also, but it is due to the beginning of shabbat at sundown. People go home after stopping at the market and make their food in advance for Saturday, go to a service at synagogue, call loved ones to wish them a wonderful shabbat.
Nice video!😃 Fun fact about the babytrollers, I have heard of it but didn't knew it really was a thing in Norway. And yeah, I would love to see a part 2. You did a great job again!😁👍 Greetings from belgium.
From what you´re saying i get a strong feeling you live in Oslo, most of these "habits" you talk about are not Norwegian habits but habits of people living in city´s and mostly Oslo. People living in Bergen do not go on Harry trips to Sweden, people living in the countryside do not go on hyttetur every weekend(Some take weekend trips to the city´s, but not like every weekend) and people are not less productive on a friday, because they have already worked the Friday-hours during rest of the week.(Some people may just slack off tho) Friday cake? Is that a thing in Oslo? I have worked for more than 25 years and never ever had people bring a cake on friday.(Birthdays are different) But i do not work in Oslo. Hey, anyways keep the videos coming, i love you´re view on Oslo people.
Hello, i was admitted to NTNU this year for my masters degree. I am so happy that will go there on winter due to COVID-19. Thank you Mon for your videos, i like them and i find them useful))
Another cute habit I witnessed there is sitting “in the dark” I mean staying up late around the solstice and refusing to turn on any lights, enjoying instead the luxury of midnight sun❤️
I was shocked 😮 at how many of these habits / traditions I like especially the one about Friday being conceded the beginning of the weekend I to have that philosophy and I kinda wish that was a thing in the us
I teach seventh graders in a part of America that was settled locally by a lot of Scandinavian settlers. Many of the families maintain close links with Finland, Sweden, and Norway. There are still a small number of my 12 year old boys who occasionally use snoose. I suspect that its because of the cultural links. I worry about their health if they're starting too early. I wonder when Norwegian boys begin using it.
The same age as when youth in other countries start smoking. Snus became a thing in the late 90s, when government restrictions on smoking started to appear. (But I've never seen 12 year olds using snus, though. That's quite extreme..)
When i arrive there i would like to take a cup of coffee with you. I'm planning to go Norway for my postgraduate. I have learned lot of things from you. Thanks for everything.
On guttetur, the men are going to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, either fish or ski, get totally wasted and tell tall tales. On jentetur it's more common to travel a long weekend to barcelona/london/New York etc, shop and go clubbing
Thanks for your interesting video, can you do a video on how to get rich in Norway? Via a private business may be? For immigrants, what domains could it be?
Snus became a bigger thing after the smoking law was introduced in the 90's. Before that, there was something that, at least I thought, was a Swedish thing. Harrytur is meat and alcohol and candy and lots of it. Do make a video of harrytur, he he.
I think the leaving babies outside in the stroller is a nordic thing. my mom says it is supposed to expose the baby to the climate so they get used to it and isnt so frail when they become young kids playing outside (in my town it is normal to do it at home too and not just when at a restaurant or supermarket) and there isnt a lot of crime in norway so there is no reason being scared of the baby being kidnapped, it would be more likely that someone took the stroller and left the kid there😂
I'm Norwegian and in my job we never have cake on fridays as a common thing because we want to be healthy. We have cake once a year when the main boss has bithday. My family and many others in the village eat dinner 8pm every day. And on saturdays we eat 10pm.
A really nice video, and all of it true! :p But you should also mention the 'dugnad', that norwegians typically participate in during April/May, to prepare for the national day :)
Dugnad is not only for the national day, dugnad is when people come together to do things like clean up in the street where they live, repair things in the kindergarden/playground and many organisations have dugnad. It can be the parents of childrens sportsgroup or a huntingclub that need to fix their clubhouse. It can be someone who needs help to wash down a apartment and they can ask their friends to come on a dugnad.It is a combination of tasks to do and a social gathering which usually ends with some cake and coffee or even ends with a party. It can be done all year around when something needs to be done, but it is most common to do things during spring/ early summer if it is things to be done outside.
Hehe, I guess you're right about most of these habits - but me, myself have none of them... I do not smoke or use snus, I do not watch the winter games, I always work till at least eight on Friday nights, I have never been on a guttetur ( and am now 50 ) and I have only been to a cabin once when I was like 11... I never eat dinner before 8 - 9 in the evening, and I rarely have lunch or breakfast... but I guess I'm not an average Norwegian thou LOL :D
Snus is originally a Swedish invention. A lot of people go on «harrytur» to Sweden to buy snus, because it costs as little as 1/4 the price of what they cost in Norway. As someone who uses snus, I think it’s very understandable that some foreigners think it looks disgusting. Personally, I think it’s less gross than smoking. Both smoking and snus may lead to different types of cancer, but snus is less imposing on the people around the user. Fun fact: A side effect of long-term use of snus is that it can damage your gum. On the flipside, it also kills some of the bacteria in your mouth and reduces risk of caveties.
Viking babies are expected to fend for themselves, I guess? Dinner at 5? That’s crazy. Open-faced sandwiches are a thing almost everywhere in Europe, including Spain and Italy. Snus is like tobacco chew in the US. It used to be big decades ago.
When my husband and I lived in married student housing at a large U.S. university, we have many European friends, many of whom also had young children. I remember two things that shocked me --- a German couple tucked their children into bed, then locked the door and went out on a date. (This was before cell phones and affordable home cameras.) Another friend from Iceland used to do exactly what you said -- they were used to parking their baby stroller outside restaurants and stores -- with the baby in it -- while they shopped or ate. When asked, she said, Iceland is an island, so there is no crime because criminals have no place to hid. They can't leave the island easily.
Hey come on! Kveldsmat is the same as "supper". Snus is NOT a norwegian habit, its less than 14% that uses snus instead of smoking and it is basically a young people thing. Harrytur can hardly be called a habit as it is just available for those who lives along or close to the swedish border. It is nothing else than common border trade as you also find between Portugal and Spain. I think you will find many differences in how people live and what "habits" they have depending on where in Norway they live. Since you live in the middle of Oslo, you probably experience a more cosmopolitan life than what the large proportion of Norwegians do. I still have to say that I really like all your videos and find them quite entertaining. You are a brilliant person and an excellent representative of Portugal. We are proud and happy that you chose us even though Scotland would be a good alternative. Keep up the good work!
Veldig bra at du tok med nordmenns kjærlighet til vinteridrett. Norge er nok det eneste land hvor en pilot forlater flyet under mellomlanding for å se en 10 000 meter på skøyter, før han flyr videre. Det skjedde under vinter-OL i 1994.
Thank you for all of the informations! ❤️ Norway sounds like paradise, and you look so happy while you're sharing them! I feel some kind of nostalgy, even if I've never been there! I was practicing most of Norwegian habits whole my life, without knowing it. 😹 It's strange, I'm born in Serbia, I'm raised here and living here, but I've never felt that I really belong here. Don't get me wrong, I love Serbia as a Coutry a lot, but when it comes to people, I just don't have same interests as they have. For me, it's so stressful being here, and I feel that I kinda stucked here! At least, I know that I can't change a people, but I can an enviroment, so I need to ask for some informations. I also hope that nobody is gonna be offended! Question is: how can I move to Norway and live there, since I have Serbian citizenship? I would also like to know which kind education I need (accept the language)? Thank you, and I'm sorry if I'm upsetting somebody with this questions 🤒

I Norway we trust that no on takes our baby and run awai with it. :-) Snus is discusting! Matpakke: we mostly have a sheet of paper or plastic between each pice of bread. Then we can have different thing on each slich, gives us more variation, you see :-)
You are alowed to bring the stroller in, you just choose to not do so. And mist people bring them into a store. And also, kveldsmat is often times 30 minutes-two hours before bed.
I believe it happens, yes, but I would never do it in the city! That´s too scary, I think. But, at home yes, and when visiting a friend. Always outside the window that I was near and Only if the house was in a garden with a fence.
a scandinavian woman left her baby in the stroller outside a restaurant in NYC while she went inside to eat, and she got arrested for child neglect and abandonment. it was in all the newspapers.
@@dianamihalache3360 It is the use of tobacco about 1680-90. (written by a famous Norwegian priest) "some of it ground to be used by the woman as snuff, which gives her a delicious intoxication, and also sends poverty to her house" Lighter stuff used in those days!
90% av the people that use snus, used to smoke before. I among them. So if you would go to Norway, late 80s/early 90s for instance, I guess something like 30-50% av the population smoked. Few used snus (it still existed, but was, at that time, mostly used by athletes instead of smoking). But as it turned out that "smoking kills" many quit smoking, but instead starting to use snus.
I’ve never seen anyone leave their stroller outside with their baby actually in the stroller, but I’m not going to claim that it doesn’t happen. That is strange, though :P 😅
Cake on friday? Are there, by any chance, many women at your workplace? :p I have never experienced this, but I hear rumours about workplaces where women dominate :D
The stroller thing. "Do not tell me in the comments that this doesn't happen, I've seen it happening a lot of times". Really? Here in my region of northern Norway I've NEVER seen it happen.
in America the stuff thry put in their mouths is called ‘chew’… its naned royal copenhagen along with other brands and comes in a little circular package . you can carry in your pocket … I agree with you .. after you let the flavor get in your mouth , you spit out the juice .. it is disgusting… and like cigarettes can cause mouth /. stomach cancer .. a famous baseball player named to y gwinn died from using this product over several years from stomach cancer
Danes leave their babies outside in their strollers in all sorts of weather because they believe it’s good for their health, the kids are dressed for the weather so they aren’t in any danger. In Canada you cannot do this because you would be charged with child endangerment, run the risk of having it kidnapped &/or the social workers will definitely pay you a visit & you could lose custody of your child! Baby strollers are allowed in most restaurants or at least you can park them & bring your baby in with you.
It’s always interesting and fun to watch your videos as a Norwegian. If you haven’t seen Harald Eia’s Typisk Norsk (tv.nrk.no/se?v=KMTE31000118), I will really recommend it. It’s kind of an analysis of Norway and Norwegians from a research and statistics point of view. 👍 It could even be a fun video feedback if you would see it and then comment on what you think, seeing it with your foreign eyes now having lived here for some years 👍
Sure it may be two toppings. Combining ham and cheese is normal, at least where I live, and many used that for school lunch. But mostly it is one topping, but many toppings are combined also. I even witnessed people combining nugatti and salami (sound strange, but tasted ok, sweet and salty).
As long as you can see your baby through the window it’s no problem. I would not do it in Oslo, but my hometown where everyone knows everyone and I know i can see my baby through the window, I would do it. Sleeping in fresh air is really good.
The stroller thing is beyond amazing! Lovely to know this is happening and scary to know it will end as unchecked immigration continues. You can not explain danger to Scandinavians though, I've tried and it doesn't work.
In a sicure country you could actually let your baby outside the store/restaurant, but you watch the baby...evem in the distance. And this is the natural, absolutely normal style of life for anyone. Of course, ee might not live in a safe society, or we might be influenced with opinion (education, tradition...are influencial types, yes, they are..!) on how dangerous and inadequate this attitude could be. But, honestly, you, parents of three or four: what would confort you ?...

The fredagskake sounds like something unique to your workplace. Never heard of it personally. Kveldsmat can be anywhwre between 21-23 in the evening
There are a lot of Friday cake, Friday waffles or Friday coffee. Some have special Friday lunch.
Especially smaller workplaces tend to have this... Probably to incentivise more people to show up on a Friday 😂
I have never worked in a place where its NOT normal with fredagskake/fredagskos, and I have worked a lot of places. :D
I just move to Norway From Australia and all your tips I’ve been very helpful thank you so much

If I see 10 strollers outside a restaurant, I'm going to a quieter restaurant.
@Bard Erland Have you been drinking? She is basically spot on.
Leaving the kid outside means the restaurant will be quiet tho :p
@@spaken2768 I assumed they were just leaving their strollers outside, not their kids.

you have to be 18 to buy snus in norway, but younger teens always seem to find a way to get it.. 12 year olds was a bit young though..
From my experience, people that use snus often start around the age of 16-18
Anthony Holton Finland is not a part of Scandinavia. So you have Scandinavians and Finns (not sure if that´s what they are called).

When you were talking about the matpakke I felt like I had already lived this, perhaps you've mentioned in another video(?). Greetings from Mexico
Matpakke is just taking your lunch to work og scool, if there is no cantina or diner.
I’ve been to Norway when someone has left their baby in the stroller.We in a bookstore when a lady left her baby outside.Couldn’t believe it.
Hehe, I guess you're right about most of these habits - but me, myself have none of them... I do not smoke or use snus, I do not watch the winter games, I always work till at least eight on Friday nights, I have never been on a guttetur ( and am now 50 ) and I have only been to a cabin once when I was like 11... I never eat dinner before 8 - 9 in the evening, and I rarely have lunch or breakfast... but I guess I'm not an average Norwegian thou LOL :D
Are you sure you are Norwegian? :P ;)
@@MonAmieDesserts Hahaha, well I always thought I was, but maybe I shold have a closer look at this LOL!!!
Snus is originally a Swedish invention. A lot of people go on «harrytur» to Sweden to buy snus, because it costs as little as 1/4 the price of what they cost in Norway. As someone who uses snus, I think it’s very understandable that some foreigners think it looks disgusting. Personally, I think it’s less gross than smoking. Both smoking and snus may lead to different types of cancer, but snus is less imposing on the people around the user. Fun fact: A side effect of long-term use of snus is that it can damage your gum. On the flipside, it also kills some of the bacteria in your mouth and reduces risk of caveties.
Viking babies are expected to fend for themselves, I guess?
Dinner at 5? That’s crazy.
Open-faced sandwiches are a thing almost everywhere in Europe, including Spain and Italy.
Snus is like tobacco chew in the US. It used to be big decades ago.
What a beautiful country I need to go there 😻💖
The leaving the baby outside part has to be something exclusive to areas south of dovre😂
When my husband and I lived in married student housing at a large U.S. university, we have many European friends, many of whom also had young children. I remember two things that shocked me --- a German couple tucked their children into bed, then locked the door and went out on a date. (This was before cell phones and affordable home cameras.) Another friend from Iceland used to do exactly what you said -- they were used to parking their baby stroller outside restaurants and stores -- with the baby in it -- while they shopped or ate. When asked, she said, Iceland is an island, so there is no crime because criminals have no place to hid. They can't leave the island easily.
Hi mam how can we make norwegian friends by teaching through meditation could u plz help me
Hey come on! Kveldsmat is the same as "supper". Snus is NOT a norwegian habit, its less than 14% that uses snus instead of smoking and it is basically a young people thing. Harrytur can hardly be called a habit as it is just available for those who lives along or close to the swedish border. It is nothing else than common border trade as you also find between Portugal and Spain. I think you will find many differences in how people live and what "habits" they have depending on where in Norway they live. Since you live in the middle of Oslo, you probably experience a more cosmopolitan life than what the large proportion of Norwegians do. I still have to say that I really like all your videos and find them quite entertaining. You are a brilliant person and an excellent representative of Portugal. We are proud and happy that you chose us even though Scotland would be a good alternative. Keep up the good work!
I slept in my baby stroller outside in the winter when I was little I don't mind cold now
Veldig bra at du tok med nordmenns kjærlighet til vinteridrett. Norge er nok det eneste land hvor en pilot forlater flyet under mellomlanding for å se en 10 000 meter på skøyter, før han flyr videre. Det skjedde under vinter-OL i 1994.
Thank you for all of the informations! ❤️ Norway sounds like paradise, and you look so happy while you're sharing them! I feel some kind of nostalgy, even if I've never been there! I was practicing most of Norwegian habits whole my life, without knowing it. 😹 It's strange, I'm born in Serbia, I'm raised here and living here, but I've never felt that I really belong here. Don't get me wrong, I love Serbia as a Coutry a lot, but when it comes to people, I just don't have same interests as they have. For me, it's so stressful being here, and I feel that I kinda stucked here! At least, I know that I can't change a people, but I can an enviroment, so I need to ask for some informations. I also hope that nobody is gonna be offended!
Question is: how can I move to Norway and live there, since I have Serbian citizenship?
I would also like to know which kind education I need (accept the language)?
Thank you, and I'm sorry if I'm upsetting somebody with this questions 🤒
Не можеш знати док не одеш тамо ,свака земља има неке своје јединствене особине .Ако си спремна на скоро пола године ладноће и МРАКА(узимај витамин Д обавезно јер депресија је честа горе) и потпуно одсуство комуникације међу људима ,онда нећеш имати проблем .Норвешка је богата земља са високим платама ал јако је скупа и људи су ЈАКО хладни ,ал баш јако ,буду спремна на то:)Такође ужасно пуно пију и не друже се без пуно алкохола ,само са алкохолом могу да комуницирају ,иначе сутрадан кад су трезни ни не јаве ти се ха ха ,ето толико .
Onda se plasim da je citav svet poremecen 🙄 Live with facts! Da, slazem se, treba videti sopstvenim ocima! Hvala na komentaru, iako sam pomalo sokirana, svakako mi je malo lakse sada sto nisam jos uvek tamo. Svajcarska zvuci fino, takodje!
It's not paradise, such place does not exist. You might find relieve of some problems, but face others :)
I Norway we trust that no on takes our baby and run awai with it. :-) Snus is discusting! Matpakke: we mostly have a sheet of paper or plastic between each pice of bread. Then we can have different thing on each slich, gives us more variation, you see :-)
Awesome👍
Part2~~~~
3:31 Kveldsmat, with an s :D
Ups 😁😬
@@MonAmieDesserts I heard you pronounce the 's' every time, except the first time when you spoke it slowly.
You are alowed to bring the stroller in, you just choose to not do so. And mist people bring them into a store. And also, kveldsmat is often times 30 minutes-two hours before bed.
Anna A lot of restaurants don´t allow strollers inside, it has to do with fire safety. They can´t have anything blocking the escape route.
mimosa7070 I see, but stores are required to, aren’t they?
It's actually written Kveldsmat but yeah you are right. ❤️
So after dinner round about 8-10 I have mine at 9 because it's in-between, not too close to bed or far; a sandwich usually or something yes!!!! :)
What is the student loan situation for a student studying internationally?
Hi amie, Eid Mubarak to you, love from Karnataka.
Leaving your baby outside, even when you're at home, was fairly common in 50s England.
Nice video Mon relatable I liked this video yes!!!! :)
Greetings from India...
I believe it happens, yes, but I would never do it in the city! That´s too scary, I think. But, at home yes, and when visiting a friend. Always outside the window that I was near and Only if the house was in a garden with a fence.
part 2, please :)
What? I have NEVER seen anyone leave their baby outside a store etc anywhere in Norway. Where have you seen this?
Well, some of these things seem regional. Take a trip out of Oslo :)
i eat kveldsmat right before i go to bed :P
Frokost, lønsj, middag, (dessert), kveldsmat.
a scandinavian woman left her baby in the stroller outside a restaurant in NYC while she went inside to eat, and she got arrested for child neglect and abandonment. it was in all the newspapers.

@@dianamihalache3360 It is the use of tobacco about 1680-90. (written by a famous Norwegian priest) "some of it ground to be used by the woman as snuff, which gives her a delicious intoxication, and also sends poverty to her house" Lighter stuff used in those days!
I eat kveldsmat between 9 and 10
90% av the people that use snus, used to smoke before. I among them. So if you would go to Norway, late 80s/early 90s for instance, I guess something like 30-50% av the population smoked. Few used snus (it still existed, but was, at that time, mostly used by athletes instead of smoking). But as it turned out that "smoking kills" many quit smoking, but instead starting to use snus.
The "leaving the baby outside in the stroller" gave me anxiety!
😅😅😅 yup
I am Norwegian, and it gives me anxiety as well. I didn't know people actually did that.
Same it's really weird for a non norwegian person how can someone leave their baby outside especially Norway is soo cold
Don't worry. Norwegian babies are kind and friendly. So I am absolutely sure that they will not harm anyone that are passing by......
@@xpost9381 lol ,just don't do it outside norway ,trust me ,world is not peaceful
I’ve never seen anyone leave their stroller outside with their baby actually in the stroller, but I’m not going to claim that it doesn’t happen. That is strange, though :P 😅
It is very common in Nordic countrys, to leave youy baby outside in the stroller if it is asleep.
♥️♥️♥️
At my workplace, we have hot dogs for lunch every Friday.
Harrytur: You should do a "Harrytur-vlog" - guttetur is about getting away from the wife and kids :)
Cake on friday? Are there, by any chance, many women at your workplace? :p I have never experienced this, but I hear rumours about workplaces where women dominate :D
The stroller thing. "Do not tell me in the comments that this doesn't happen, I've seen it happening a lot of times". Really? Here in my region of northern Norway I've NEVER seen it happen.
It is documented that an eagle picked a baby from a baby sleeper and flew away. Nothing bad happened, you can search for the interview with the lady.
Really? In my region it's the norm. I've done it myself multible times. Sit by the window and keep an eye on the tot.
in America the stuff thry put in their mouths is called ‘chew’… its naned royal copenhagen along with other brands and comes in a little circular package . you can carry in your pocket … I agree with you .. after you let the flavor get in your mouth , you spit out the juice .. it is disgusting… and like cigarettes can cause mouth /. stomach cancer .. a famous baseball player named to y gwinn died from using this product over several years from stomach cancer
hi.
Danes leave their babies outside in their strollers in all sorts of weather because they believe it’s good for their health, the kids are dressed for the weather so they aren’t in any danger. In Canada you cannot do this because you would be charged with child endangerment, run the risk of having it kidnapped &/or the social workers will definitely pay you a visit & you could lose custody of your child! Baby strollers are allowed in most restaurants or at least you can park them & bring your baby in with you.
It’s always interesting and fun to watch your videos as a Norwegian. If you haven’t seen Harald Eia’s Typisk Norsk (tv.nrk.no/se?v=KMTE31000118), I will really recommend it. It’s kind of an analysis of Norway and Norwegians from a research and statistics point of view. 👍 It could even be a fun video feedback if you would see it and then comment on what you think, seeing it with your foreign eyes now having lived here for some years 👍
He in the us you would never dare leave your baby outside in a stroller!!! Ever!!!
Your clothing Is to pretty and chic
you are very beatiful. your eyes are just as beautiful as norwegian woman
no, its ham OR cheese. Never two big toppings on one bread. Its supposed to be just one pålegg
Sure it may be two toppings. Combining ham and cheese is normal, at least where I live, and many used that for school lunch. But mostly it is one topping, but many toppings are combined also. I even witnessed people combining nugatti and salami (sound strange, but tasted ok, sweet and salty).
heidiheidi0 Ham&cheese is normal.
So crazy for us the baby thing, but I guess thats their way! Here it is just a no no. Specially if it is cold, and the crime is toó bad toó elsewhere
I would never leave my baby outside.... Those parents are just crazy. I've never seen it in Norway.
As long as you can see your baby through the window it’s no problem. I would not do it in Oslo, but my hometown where everyone knows everyone and I know i can see my baby through the window, I would do it. Sleeping in fresh air is really good.
The stroller thing is beyond amazing! Lovely to know this is happening and scary to know it will end as unchecked immigration continues. You can not explain danger to Scandinavians though, I've tried and it doesn't work.
In a sicure country you could actually let your baby outside the store/restaurant, but you watch the baby...evem in the distance. And this is the natural, absolutely normal style of life for anyone. Of course, ee might not live in a safe society, or we might be influenced with opinion (education, tradition...are influencial types, yes, they are..!) on how dangerous and inadequate this attitude could be. But, honestly, you, parents of three or four: what would confort you ?...
americans hve similar habits but more outgoing thn the introvert norway
Yeah leaving your baby outside in America is asking to loose your kid. That is so crazy to me.
Sandwich. What's the big deal
Fredag's kake?🤣 Nå er du helt på jordet.
