    I'm Norwegian and I was surprised to hear about microwaves, don't think I've ever been to a house that don't have it. But if you rent, you usually have to have your own.

    Most people in Norway have microwaves, but if you rent an apartment you bring your own, as they are not provided by the renter in the same way as an oven or fridge is.

    Hi there! The 2 duvet bed covers are standard in Switzerland. It saves you a lot of trouble when it comes to the nightly subconscious bed cover pull away fight :-)

    Agree about pretty much everything except the microwave thing. I feel like everyone has microwaves?

    I always bring 3 different sizes of pants, dresses etc, which is how most Norwegians solve that problem. 💃

    Hello. I'm a Norwegian and I can explain why not everybody has a microwave. It's because most of the norwegians are making their own food,from scratch. It's making the food so much healthier. Because you know all the ingredients. With love from Tone😊

    I think the two duvee for a couple part is because if one partner hugs the whole duvee it can quickly be cold.

    I've never though of the microwave thing before, my family have used microwave ovens since I was a kid. I think most people below an age of 65 have one in their home, but this is only an assumption by me. Last summer I had to buy my second microwave oven as an adult because my first one died on me. I don't think student homes and rental apartments have microwave ovens as a standard and you must buy your own. That's what I did. The "Norwegian mop" is the best if you use it right. It's supposed to be used lightly moist with no cleaning agent. When It's moist the dirt will stick to the mop. If it's wet it will soak the floor but will also remove less dirt. The remaining dirt will then remain when the floor dries. A cleaning agent should only be used when you encounter some stubborn dirt. Use a spray bottle and spray the dirty area. (my mum is a pro cleaner :))

    Beds seem to be very different across Europe. In Germany, you nearly always have two duvets - and also two mattresses with a gap between them. Some people have a mattress-long triangular pillow to fill the gap. I think two mattresses and duvets are actually quite practical because you might need different mattresses (some like them harder, some softer) or thicker/lighter duvets.

    In Norway, when you rent an apartment, it usually comes in 3 different catergories: Unfurnished, partly furnished, and fully furnished. In the first case, you usually have to bring your own appliances, like washing machine, dryer, fridge, stove, and furniture. If the apartment is partly furnished, usually it come with some or all appliances, and sometimes some furniture, like a sofa(something like the old sofa of the landlord),and you bring the rest. In fully furnished apartments it comes with all appliances, and furniture, but a microwave is often not seem as necessary, and its a "small" and easy to move appliance, so the landlord will often not provide it. I have lived in many rentet apartments, and usually I have to bring the microwave.

    I'm Norwegian-American. In the States, we use both types of mops. The t-shaped mop that I use has water or cleaning solution (depends on preference) that squirts out from the end of the pole, which makes cleaning very easy.

    Topless sunbathing was more of a thing in the 70's, 80's and 90', in Norway, but not so much today.

    So Norway and Brazil have one more thing in common besides the love for coffee - the type of mop used for cleaning the floor.
