Yes Tromsø is stunning I would recommend visiting there. You’d definitely want to go between June-August though if you’re looking for greenery because the summer is very short there.
I had to comment on this: have you really lived in Norway? Saying it’s only on option for f.i shampoo 😂. That’s bullshit. There are hundreds of options. The same goes for the other things you mentioned , being only one option
This is a comparison video. As someone from the U.S, I found it much harder to find variety in many different items compared to the U.S. especially since in the U.S you can often find said variety all in one store, while in Norway you’d need to visit a specialty store if you’d like something more specific. Again, it’s all relative, but I respect your opinion.
How is the Jewish community in Norway? I've heard a lot about the Yiddishist community in Stockholm, Sweden (where Yiddish is recognized on a national level, and Yiddish language education and culture are sponsored by the state), but I don't know anything about the Jewish community in Norway.
There’s a really small and tight-knit community in Oslo (2,000 Jews) I’m not sure about the one in Trondheim (200 Jews). The Oslo community has a beautiful orthodox synagogue that has services every shabbat and on holidays, a kosher store, a mikvah, a cheder program (giving a Jewish education too elementary school kids) and a Jewish kindergarten. There are only one or two people speaking the Yiddish language though (mostly from the Jewish old age home next door) it’s not as wide-spread as in Sweden. As for antisemitism, there hasn’t been any hate-crime so to speak for many years against the Jews of Norway and I felt safe there going to synagogue and being a part of the community.
If you’re interested in learning more you can follow my instagram account @synagoguesofeurope where I give an extensive history of the Jews of Norway and a small tour of the Synagogue. Hope this helps!
This video is comparing the U.S with Norway. Compared with the U.S, the purchase of alcohol is much more expensive and hard to find in Norway. It’s all relative. 😉
Restabfall hehe Germans seem to share the same obsession for Mülltrennung. Some food for thought that might be controversial. In US capitalism, products have replaced true democratic choices. Just think of the myriads of cereals and the number of political parties. Literally, they are keeping people busy in front of these walls of cheap products. Always wondering about the next purchase. Never minding the consequences or challenging the status quo.
That's sound good, br in the natures
It’s always been my dream to visit north Norway and just explore the beautiful greenery

I wish we had more selection in the common stores here 😅
I thought you wouldn’t mind it if you grew up with it…🫣 I guess you do
Bare reis til utlandet, så får du større utvalg

I’ve heard it’s expensive there, I hope your transition has been easy
Yup living in Norway is expensive
