As someone who just moved to Norway I can confirm the last point. I've been to a few bars in the last few months, and every time I get swarmed by drunk Norwegians who all of a sudden want to speak English to me and tell me how great Norway is. Only real downside to this is I end up drinking more and I get more and more Canadian. The more Canadian I get the less they can understand my English.
drunk people want to speak a different language especially if your in another country or in your own but with someone that's not from your stretch of town 😅the best part is they seen you and wanted to know you that's Norwegian people
Living in Minnesota in the United States, I had a Norwegian family friend that visited and called the state "Little Norway". When I visited Norway, it didn't feel any different from being in Minnesota as far as interacting with people.
The ignoring everything part is very common in germany as well :D Even acting like "I didn't notice you" to skip talking to aquaitances, doing that every day
i wanna live in skandinavia. i am introverted, when i see friends on the street i think, nah dont wanna talk now. and i love mountains, snow, cold winter, skiing. i got no idea which damn god decided that i should be born in germany
Hi Sunny! I'm from Colombia (South America). I think my country is vey different than yours, but equally awesome. We speak with each other all the time even if we just met. Nice videos! keep it coming...
no of course you talk to a friend but not to strangers that often like in a bus or in a supermarket or something 🙈 I mean in America you even talk to the cashier in Germany that doesn't happen
Syllaa Well that depends on what kind of chocolate. Because tolberone or chocolate with caramel or salt isn't that cheap. But if you're buying milk chocolate from the ah or euro shopper or jumbo it's about 50 cent.
heh. I am just waiting for the christmas and easter time, when christmas and easter passed all the"Lindt" chocolate (like chocolate bunny/santa) cost half the price :D and totaly worth it.
So Germans go to Poland to buy illegal fireworks? We Dutchies go to Germany for illegal fireworks, so you're saying the stuff you get from Poland is even more explosive?
Jori Schröer Yes it is. Fireworks in germany are made with blackpowder. Fireworks from poland are made with BKS (idk how its called in english) they are MUCH better
experienced everything you talked about in this video, when i spent a year in norway, had to get used to it. It was really weird, when you are the best friend to someone, when he/she is drunk, but a day after that, they are not greeting you or anything...
I live in North Dakota, which along with Minnesota, probably has the highest percentage of Norwegian heritage in the U.S. Personally, my heritage is 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Icelandic, so hearing all these things about Norway is especially interesting to me. My town (Minot) has the largest Scandinavian festival outside of Scandinavia... yeah, we're pretty proud of that! Anyway keep the videos coming, they're a lot of fun.
in brazil it's almost funny the way strangers connect to each other. people often sit at your side on the bus and engage on a conversation. people smile and look at your eyes on the streets. i think it's cute
Taco Friday ?!?! Silly Norwegians, tacos are for Tuesday! (Well, they're for any day of the week, really. But, if they're going to have a designated day, it's Tuesday. Not Friday, geez.) Greetings from the Lone Star State.
yeehaw! Most Norwegian doesn't know what the Lone Star State is :). U can have TacoTuesday over there, but we aint having none of that of course. It's actually Taco-Friday (not tex mex friday even tho it's actually tex-mex and not taco so to speak that norwegiands "love" so much. And the twist - It's TOTALLY a myth! Most norwegians does not eat tex-mex on Fridays. Any day of the week is far more common. It's a thing created by food companies with the help of TV commercials mostly. I don't know many that actually enjoys tex-mex to that extent. Most are - well - mostly sick and tired of it. What should really be in this video is how good extremely many norwegians are at bragging about ourselves, and stepping on a lot of other's toes, judging other cultures without even making an effort to understand the differences etc. :). But dam - it's taco friday, not tex-mex friday! :D
Interesting... As an ethnic Norwegian living in Seattle, our Norwegian culture is very strong here. We have this term "The Seattle Freeze" which means so many Nordic people settled here over the past century that it's the same protocol for interacting in public as in Norway, however, you still on occasion have some stranger randomly talking to you. I travel from time to time back in Norway, as in 2014 to visit my cousins and I get on a train from Oslo to Bergen. In Drammen, this guy get's on the train and sits next to me and carries on på norsk, chatting up a storm, so there is the exception. Though I grew up in Seattle, I was raised with a Norwegian mindset, so when I go to Norway it seems home, though I have to calculate spending money in Norway. It is true about the drinking, we are quite reserved and open up with some drinks to come alive. The common and annoying thing an ethnic Norwegian is commonly asked here, so you eat lutefisk all the time? eyes roll back, especially when we have the freshest fish around. We also pride ourselves in having the largest Syttende Mai parade outside of Norway, on the actual constitution day for 128 years...
Hi Sunny! I am from Uruguay. I am travelling to Norway next month. Your videos are too useful. My problem in Norway will be that here, in Uruguay, we use smalltalk every time! Very different, isn it?
Not every norwegian person is like that. This is a generalization. I'm the kind of person who talks to anyone, any age, any race, background, from all walks of life. IF I feel like it, I do. And sometimes I prefer to be in my own little world with awesome music on my ears when I am outside going grocery shopping or just going for a walk or whatever, and I love that I don't get interrupted and sucked out of my little bubble too often. People have respect for each others space here and I like that. So how did it go? I see you wrote this 4 months ago, so you have most likely been here now, right? Hope you enjoyed your time here =)
well Sunny I loved this video!!! I have family in Norway and the things you listed are so true!!! I've actually been to Norway to visit them! Moirana is where it's at!
Sunny i love youre voice its perfectly for the subtitle. The subtile is only by you 95% correct. The Word "Norwegian" only spellt wrong as "religion". Btw I ❤ love youre videos and you got a like from me ^.^ You are so awesome
Hey Sunny, how are you :D? Haha, well just wanted to comment that I find 2 weird things norwegians do familiar! First one is the very first one you said, I live in Spain, I'm Spanish and I usually do it. Doesn't matter if I'm in a hurry or not, maybe I dont feel like talking, maybe I'm just listening to music and dont want a conversation I don't know, but most of the time I'm walking somewhere I ignore everything that surrounds me. And I'm not the only one, the northern part of Spain is kinda introvert, which leads us to the second familiar thing! Yes, most of us (at the north) are a tad colder and introvert than most visitors think, but give us a few beers and we'll tell you everything you don't want to know x) BTW a chocolate bar here can be found for less than 1€ haha
NO ONE beats Norway in cross country skiing though!! Of womens top 10 skiiers, over half are Norwegian. (but that's probably because Norway is one of few countries with snow 50% of the year)
I live in the province Groningen and everybody here goes to Germany to shop and get fuel for our cars couse here it's like 1,44 euro en there it's like 1,35. Mayby it's an European thing.
I'm an American (born and raised), but I'm also I'm 1/8th Norwegian, I've always felt cutoff from my Norwegian heritage aside from times I look up on Scandinavian myths and folklore, my great grandmother was full blooded Norwegian and not much in terms of Norwegian traditions were passed down, but I feel MUCH closer to my Norwegian side now after watching your video, It's awesome to hear just how alike I am to my far-off distant cousins!
I am german and I was also born with skies on my feet. I love norway, I unfortunately never have been there yet, and it's one of my biggest wishes to go there at least once in my life for some skiing, having fun and just being amazed by its beauty. Maybe one day I'll live there - if I like it there thaaat much. Just awesome
I am some what new to your channel, but it's really fun seeing a fellow Norwegian being so successful when it comes to youtube, I must say I am proud, and I really like your content ^U^ You're awesome ^^
Can you iceskate outside all year in Norway? Here in the Netherlands the last outside iceskatingrally (The Frisian Eleven city rally) was in 1997, where king Willem Alexander was still a prins. Each year we're hoping for a new rally, but the ice is to thin. Love your videos. Marc
I have the exact same thing with alcohol. I talk smoothly to any given stranger and keep conversations going for as long as I want. But when I'm sober I'm usually awkward around strangers and I don't know what the hell to tell them. Also alcohol makes me say what I really think, instead of just agreeing and being polite whilst actually thinking the opposite...
We in Libya talk with people and communicate a lot we meet with family on holidays We love the sea a lot in the Mediterranean We spend enjoyable times with friends at night sea We love desert and sand. We do many activities in the summer We share the culture with the Italians
+Patollaj Usually in the US if you say hello to someone they will say hello back. Unless they're rude then they will more than likely just ignore you. So no not every country is like that.
I am new to this channel and I like it. It's funny you mentioned Norwegians being introverted. I come from Greece and Greeks are considered to be loud extroverts. But I am quiet, calm and highly introverted. I think my mentality is closer to a Chinese person. Traditional Chinese profile is: Quiet, calm, shy, reserved and hard working. And emotional too. Most Greeks speak English well, but it also depends on how old they are. My father for example could never learn English because of bad teacher. But he speaks some German and French. I think Sunny is funny, smart and very cute. I am starting to learn Spanish because of her videos :-p
Maybe just a small piece, yet I really like the way you overlay the background music. Not particular in this vid alone, it is always pretty cool. Especially if you stop the music to enforce your current argument :D
Being mostly Norwegian and growing up and living in the US, I have often wondered why I do some of the things I do. Now I know why. Thank-You for this info.
I’m from Scotland and we have something similar to your Taco Friday, but instead a lot people will have Fish and Chips on a Friday, especially in schools
Hehe Dutch people ignore others in public too. About Norwegians (and scandinavians in general) you forgot: 1. taking off shoes indoors. Also in other people's homes or in the office. Just walk in socks in at work... 2. Pizza and kebab in restaurant 3. When announcing an artist on a show, saying the song before the artist, like 'It's Chandelier with Sia!' Like, what? 4. Writing tiny local news items in the paper: mr. Nilsen's cat got lost. 5. Drinking at home before going out. 6. Brown goat cheese that looks like melted plastic. 7. Rice porridge 8. Eurovision party at someone's house. Etc. ;)
I think they got the same overalls in Finland. But i don't know if they are used for some graduation "rituals" or in other occasions. About replying to "How are you" I think Norwegians and Germans are the same. We also answer the question, although we usually keep the reply short. It is then up to the person who asked to inquire to get more details if he/she wants to know. And usually you would answer with more or less details depending on how good you know the person asking the question.
Amazing video again!! About the food - The Reindeer from Finnmark is my favorite. The cod fish from the Fjords are amazing too! Especially when I went in February and the cod was fresh. I went to Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Ålesund, and Tromsø. Going back at the end of August!! I’m not a big fan of the sheep head they eat in Bergen. Have you tried it?
your videos made me convince to drive my bike all the way to Norge from Holland, it also made me take language lessons.. overal, your vids must be really inspiring or something crazy going on with me x)
I'm Canadian. When ppls bump into each other, even when it's not ur fault we say sorry. We know every country singer n know every country song..well mostly everyone lol. With my culture backround everytime it's the season for certain fruits and veggies we pickle it or can it, especially peaches, strawberries, beets, pickles, also apples into applesauce. We make our own sausage, perogies with cottage cheese, our own noodles, schnitzel, we make our own soups and bread
living in Norway would be kinda hard for me because I tend to just smile at people as a reflex and its so awkward when they don't smile back cuz I didn't even mean to and I'm like ugh, I'm introverted and extroverted at the same time cause in certain situations i love talking to people and being loud but other times I just like don't talk or even look at me
Whenever I talk to a friend or family member over the age of 35 they tend to say "jajajaja" when you say something relatable or if they lose their words they'll do a really long "uhhhhh"
im going to norway in novemeber after learning norwegian for 4 years and i wish i could ski SO much! i used to ski and figure skate as a kid but im disabled and cant now💀still really hyped though! i tried to get my mom to let me teach her some norwegian and the only thing she would even *try* and pronounce was "ha det" and im like. okay yk what. ima just give up on that.
In Poland is also normal to ignore strangers in public. It is even rude to tok to people who are ment to srike up a conversation. I think it is a common element in most countries in europe.
I'm American and say "How are you?" Asking sincerely how somebody is. Like, usually they'll reply good or bad and then based off that I'll make a conversation. Like if they say bad, I try to figure out what's wrong and help or if they say good I ask what they'd done that day to try to make discussion.
It bothers me SO much when people ask me how I am. It didn't used to until a friend who studied abroad in Spain pointed out that people in the US weren't actually asking. I totally do the same, respond to them, and people think it's weird.
I’ve always dreamed of going to Norway! I find the country VERY interesting. I’m trying to learn Norwegian by myself, and DAM (If you get the reference :3) it’s hard.
Your Russefeiring is somewhat similar to the Dutch 'ontgroening' (hazing) which new students of a University must undergo the first week of University in order to enter a sorority. Is it as bad as here, where a couple of students actually died of alcohol poisoning or dit get hospitalized? And yes, you gotta love Santa Maria Tex Mex, although I'm more into their burrito's.
your point on norwegians being introverts is spot on lol i swear its genetic my great grandfather immigrated to the states from norway on my fathers side of my family and my great great great grandmother on my moms side did the same and just about everyone in my family have been introverts ......i honestly think im the worst of the bunch lol
I am from the United Kingdom and in London, people are so busy that they do not have time to talk. Peoplein England ignore other people too. However people have manners as well.
You know you're ina Norwegian house when all the rooms are small except the kitchen which is huge and there are things hanging from the ceiling curing.
It's like the Swiss how they go to Germany to get cheap things, because for example a hot chocolate would be 8CHF in Switzerland and in Germany it would be around 5 EUR. I bet that's the same difference between Sweden and Norway
As someone who just moved to Norway I can confirm the last point. I've been to a few bars in the last few months, and every time I get swarmed by drunk Norwegians who all of a sudden want to speak English to me and tell me how great Norway is.
Only real downside to this is I end up drinking more and I get more and more Canadian. The more Canadian I get the less they can understand my English.
Why did you move to Norway as a Canadian?
IM DEAD LMFAOOOOOO
drunk people want to speak a different language especially if your in another country or in your own but with someone that's not from your stretch of town 😅the best part is they seen you and wanted to know you that's Norwegian people
Norwegians sound like my kind of people!
YASSS
where r u from?
the U.S.
I am from Norway, and all these things is so true
charlemagne i even live in the same street as her!
yes, my favorite viking girl, again ...
well, for this time its okey :P
Living in Minnesota in the United States, I had a Norwegian family friend that visited and called the state "Little Norway". When I visited Norway, it didn't feel any different from being in Minnesota as far as interacting with people.
Norway is a small weird little country with a lot of small weird people doing all sorts of weird things.. i love it
It is shaped like a spoon.
Small. Ha ha ha you're funny. Obviously you haven't heard about Iceland or even Pharoe islands and Greenland.
Not really wierd, just cool
@@darknomad5600 Pfft. Shaped like a guitar.
You call that small??? this hit everyone from Luxenbourg
The ignoring everything part is very common in germany as well :D Even acting like "I didn't notice you" to skip talking to aquaitances, doing that every day
I'm half Scottish and half Norwegian, i love the dynamic that my culture mix gives me ❤
i wanna live in skandinavia. i am introverted, when i see friends on the street i think, nah dont wanna talk now. and i love mountains, snow, cold winter, skiing. i got no idea which damn god decided that i should be born in germany
Me too. Can't understand why people always want heat and sun. :D why am I answering in english though, ich komme auch aus Deutschland. :D
Mh?
live in the netherlanfds not much better >< >
Deutsche sind auch introvertiert. Also ich kenn viele Leute die sich auf der Straße ignorieren oder die nicht so auf Smalltalk stehen
ich fand schweden und die sprache schon immer cool... vil. können wir ja mal in die gegend dort ziehen :D
Sunny: "Norwegian's love taco's!"
Me: [ Travels to eddsworld ]
Also me: [ Somehow finds Tord and shoves a taco in his mouth ]
Tord: • • •
Also Tord: 👌
Hi Sunny! I'm from Colombia (South America). I think my country is vey different than yours, but equally awesome. We speak with each other all the time even if we just met. Nice videos! keep it coming...
We Germans ignore people in public too I mean we don't talk to everyone in public 😂
even you meet a friend ? no one will talk stranger unless you need help to find place
no of course you talk to a friend but not to strangers that often like in a bus or in a supermarket or something 🙈 I mean in America you even talk to the cashier in Germany that doesn't happen
I talk with cashier
Wtf who doesn't talk to the cashier have no fkin behaviour. You must at least say: Thanks and your welcome.
Und in Dörfern sagen wir auch Hallo wenn wir an irgendjemanden vorbei gehen den wir nicht kennen
Chocolate for 6 dollars!??!!? BOOOOI
Here in the netherlands we get chocolate for 50 cents .-.
True.. :/
But does norwegian chocolate taste like it's worth 6 dollars?
Probably not. But apparantly Swedish does.
Syllaa Well that depends on what kind of chocolate. Because tolberone or chocolate with caramel or salt isn't that cheap. But if you're buying milk chocolate from the ah or euro shopper or jumbo it's about 50 cent.
Norway is fucking expensive, not just for Europe.
heh. I am just waiting for the christmas and easter time, when christmas and easter passed all the"Lindt" chocolate (like chocolate bunny/santa) cost half the price :D and totaly worth it.
We germans go to poland or chezh (?) to buy cigarettes, fuel, illegal fireworks, food etc.
True
same with austria :D
So Germans go to Poland to buy illegal fireworks? We Dutchies go to Germany for illegal fireworks, so you're saying the stuff you get from Poland is even more explosive?
yeah polish stuff is crazy
Jori Schröer Yes it is. Fireworks in germany are made with blackpowder. Fireworks from poland are made with BKS (idk how its called in english) they are MUCH better
your Videos are amazing keep up the good work sunny
Beer with tampons in the mouth !?!?! i have to try that .. Dont judge me
*used tampons
Meh..I rather have clean ones .-.
Hehe, i am not sexy anyways so i dont care :P
***** mmmmmmmmh
lol
experienced everything you talked about in this video, when i spent a year in norway, had to get used to it. It was really weird, when you are the best friend to someone, when he/she is drunk, but a day after that, they are not greeting you or anything...
I'm from Vestlandet so there's no driving to Sweden for me :( I have to take like 2 ferries just to get to Bunnpris
+AmandaJoyMusic awww :(
:c not cool!
That kinda sucks... i got 30 mins from home, and 10 mins from work to get there :P Live in Østfold ^^ #Svinesund4Lyfe!
Vestlandet ftw
Who needs Swedish shopping when living in such a gorgeus part of the world. ;-)
In Switzerland people drive to Germany to get cheap food and stuff xD
In Singapore, the cheap food destination is Malaysia.
We know, since Corona our economy is at the bottom, because no swiss guys come around 😗
I'm really in love with norwegians ): i think i was norwegian in my past life ):
I live in North Dakota, which along with Minnesota, probably has the highest percentage of Norwegian heritage in the U.S. Personally, my heritage is 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Icelandic, so hearing all these things about Norway is especially interesting to me.
My town (Minot) has the largest Scandinavian festival outside of Scandinavia... yeah, we're pretty proud of that!
Anyway keep the videos coming, they're a lot of fun.
I feel like I would fit in perfectly with my introvertedness and love for tacos xD
in brazil it's almost funny the way strangers connect to each other. people often sit at your side on the bus and engage on a conversation. people smile and look at your eyes on the streets. i think it's cute

Sunny Hallo
Bor du i Norge ??
Hi Sunny! I am from Uruguay. I am travelling to Norway next month. Your videos are too useful. My problem in Norway will be that here, in Uruguay, we use smalltalk every time! Very different, isn it?
Not every norwegian person is like that. This is a generalization. I'm the kind of person who talks to anyone, any age, any race, background, from all walks of life. IF I feel like it, I do.

So how did it go? I see you wrote this 4 months ago, so you have most likely been here now, right? Hope you enjoyed your time here =)
Norwegians are exactly like me! But i am from Austria ;D
same here!
Naja, Germanen halt....
Gjort dem alle haha :) Bra video som vanlig Sunnnyyy!
*Hæ... I'm half Norwegian?*
well Sunny I loved this video!!! I have family in Norway and the things you listed are so true!!! I've actually been to Norway to visit them! Moirana is where it's at!
Sunny i love youre voice its perfectly for the subtitle. The subtile is only by you 95% correct. The Word "Norwegian" only spellt wrong as "religion".
Btw I ❤ love youre videos and you got a like from me ^.^ You are so awesome
So true 👍
for my RUclips is region 😂
Hey Sunny, how are you :D? Haha, well just wanted to comment that I find 2 weird things norwegians do familiar!
First one is the very first one you said, I live in Spain, I'm Spanish and I usually do it.

Yes, most of us (at the north) are a tad colder and introvert than most visitors think, but give us a few beers and we'll tell you everything you don't want to know x)
BTW a chocolate bar here can be found for less than 1€ haha
I am Swedish and I approve of this message! xD
I always like to hear people's honest analysis of their own culture. Thanks! That was very informative and interesting.
I want to eat Sunny's taco every Friday.
Flimbo nimbo smooth
Tamtam Tex-Mex Friday, bruh.
smooth af
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
lol
in Russia we will need a couple of days to travel to a neighbouring country for shopping, so many people use their weekends to go to Auchan or IKEA.
Austria has the most Wins in Skiing :D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIS_Alpine_Ski_World_Cup#Individual
Alpine yes, not normal :)
NO ONE beats Norway in cross country skiing though!! Of womens top 10 skiiers, over half are Norwegian. (but that's probably because Norway is one of few countries with snow 50% of the year)
Wtf yea
Your accent is beautiful! These things are so accurate and I can relate a lot. Takk for this wonderful video.
I live in the province Groningen and everybody here goes to Germany to shop and get fuel for our cars couse here it's like 1,44 euro en there it's like 1,35.
Mayby it's an European thing.
Semmydkanaal i live in Groningen too! I also always go too Germany with New Year's Day.

I'm an American (born and raised), but I'm also I'm 1/8th Norwegian, I've always felt cutoff from my Norwegian heritage aside from times I look up on Scandinavian myths and folklore, my great grandmother was full blooded Norwegian and not much in terms of Norwegian traditions were passed down, but I feel MUCH closer to my Norwegian side now after watching your video, It's awesome to hear just how alike I am to my far-off distant cousins!
In the Netherlands we ignore people too
oh hell yeah we do :P
Except here in Drenthe is pretty normal to say hi to someone wherever you go.
hi is all mostly... sometimes two sentences
Sverre vanLeeuwen where I live we do say hi. ( I'm Dutch )
Marit Spaans Als je iemand kent zeg ik wel gedag maar als je iemand niet kent ignore😅
I am german and I was also born with skies on my feet. I love norway, I unfortunately never have been there yet, and it's one of my biggest wishes to go there at least once in my life for some skiing, having fun and just being amazed by its beauty.

We share the culture with the Italians
Alot of things matches with Germans
Love your channel and posts. Tusen takk.
Ignoring people has nothing to do with norwegian. Every county got this
+Patollaj Usually in the US if you say hello to someone they will say hello back. Unless they're rude then they will more than likely just ignore you. So no not every country is like that.
+RazerXP Yugioh its normal to say hello back
Yes, everybody says hello back, but no one starts a conversation by him self with a random
If your on a bus in Norway and see someone you know you might not even say hello. And in Norway we say hi back to someone.
Legends said, if you comment the Video sunny will answer the comment :D
aww natsu
+Benny Fix :o
:D
Sunny hello i am from Germany and I think that the norwaygien language is really difficult. I was there. no you the 7 sesters and the troll
I am new to this channel and I like it. It's funny you mentioned Norwegians being introverted. I come from Greece and Greeks are considered to be loud extroverts. But I am quiet, calm and highly introverted. I think my mentality is closer to a Chinese person. Traditional Chinese profile is: Quiet, calm, shy, reserved and hard working. And emotional too. Most Greeks speak English well, but it also depends on how old they are. My father for example could never learn English because of bad teacher. But he speaks some German and French. I think Sunny is funny, smart and very cute. I am starting to learn Spanish because of her videos :-p
lets get sunny drunk XD
Maybe just a small piece, yet I really like the way you overlay the background music. Not particular in this vid alone, it is always pretty cool. Especially if you stop the music to enforce your current argument :D
2:35 some ppl around the world do this to. Its not just hello, unless its like that in the UK
Dude i would love to visit Norway, Sweden, and Finland!! Sunny is so cool!! :)
Being mostly Norwegian and growing up and living in the US, I have often wondered why I do some of the things I do. Now I know why. Thank-You for this info.
Anytime somebody says "how are you," or even "hello," they would be glad to hear what the other person is feeling or doing
I’m from Scotland and we have something similar to your Taco Friday, but instead a lot people will have Fish and Chips on a Friday, especially in schools
* looks at hotel floor *
* its got tiles instead of carpets *
* internal and external screaming *
Hehe Dutch people ignore others in public too. About Norwegians (and scandinavians in general) you forgot: 1. taking off shoes indoors. Also in other people's homes or in the office. Just walk in socks in at work... 2. Pizza and kebab in restaurant 3. When announcing an artist on a show, saying the song before the artist, like 'It's Chandelier with Sia!' Like, what? 4. Writing tiny local news items in the paper: mr. Nilsen's cat got lost. 5. Drinking at home before going out. 6. Brown goat cheese that looks like melted plastic. 7. Rice porridge 8. Eurovision party at someone's house. Etc. ;)
Nice video again Sunny :D
I have no idea why I ever stopped watching your videos...
I'M BACK NOW HEYYYY! :D
Fitti du hast kein Recht und Gesetz zur Regelung des Jahres
Please do a video about the Norwegian royal family and what Norwegian think of it 😎👌🏼
I think they got the same overalls in Finland. But i don't know if they are used for some graduation "rituals" or in other occasions.
About replying to "How are you" I think Norwegians and Germans are the same. We also answer the question, although we usually keep the reply short. It is then up to the person who asked to inquire to get more details if he/she wants to know. And usually you would answer with more or less details depending on how good you know the person asking the question.
just recently got introduced to your channel, your videos are funny and hilarious! Haha!
Amazing video again!!
About the food - The Reindeer from Finnmark is my favorite. The cod fish from the Fjords are amazing too! Especially when I went in February and the cod was fresh. I went to Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Ålesund, and Tromsø. Going back at the end of August!!
I’m not a big fan of the sheep head they eat in Bergen. Have you tried it?
your videos made me convince to drive my bike all the way to Norge from Holland, it also made me take language lessons.. overal, your vids must be really inspiring or something crazy going on with me x)
I'm Canadian. When ppls bump into each other, even when it's not ur fault we say sorry. We know every country singer n know every country song..well mostly everyone lol. With my culture backround everytime it's the season for certain fruits and veggies we pickle it or can it, especially peaches, strawberries, beets, pickles, also apples into applesauce. We make our own sausage, perogies with cottage cheese, our own noodles, schnitzel, we make our own soups and bread
living in Norway would be kinda hard for me because I tend to just smile at people as a reflex and its so awkward when they don't smile back cuz I didn't even mean to and I'm like ugh, I'm introverted and extroverted at the same time cause in certain situations i love talking to people and being loud but other times I just like don't talk or even look at me
Whenever I talk to a friend or family member over the age of 35 they tend to say "jajajaja" when you say something relatable or if they lose their words they'll do a really long "uhhhhh"
im going to norway in novemeber after learning norwegian for 4 years and i wish i could ski SO much! i used to ski and figure skate as a kid but im disabled and cant now💀still really hyped though! i tried to get my mom to let me teach her some norwegian and the only thing she would even *try* and pronounce was "ha det" and im like. okay yk what. ima just give up on that.
In Poland is also normal to ignore strangers in public. It is even rude to tok to people who are ment to srike up a conversation.
I think it is a common element in most countries in europe.
I like this relaxing atmosphere in your videos, i think it's due to the music :o
For someone that doesn't talk to others, she seems quite the chatty extrovert... Such warm eyes!
I'm American and say "How are you?" Asking sincerely how somebody is. Like, usually they'll reply good or bad and then based off that I'll make a conversation. Like if they say bad, I try to figure out what's wrong and help or if they say good I ask what they'd done that day to try to make discussion.
It bothers me SO much when people ask me how I am. It didn't used to until a friend who studied abroad in Spain pointed out that people in the US weren't actually asking. I totally do the same, respond to them, and people think it's weird.
I’ve always dreamed of going to Norway! I find the country VERY interesting. I’m trying to learn Norwegian by myself, and DAM (If you get the reference :3) it’s hard.
I'm Norwegian, and I don't get the reference. :)
I LOVE YOU SUNNY
Your Russefeiring is somewhat similar to the Dutch 'ontgroening' (hazing) which new students of a University must undergo the first week of University in order to enter a sorority. Is it as bad as here, where a couple of students actually died of alcohol poisoning or dit get hospitalized?
And yes, you gotta love Santa Maria Tex Mex, although I'm more into their burrito's.
As a Finn who traveled Norway it felt almost too much like "home" :D Apart from the nature, the countries share so many similarities.
your point on norwegians being introverts is spot on lol i swear its genetic my great grandfather immigrated to the states from norway on my fathers side of my family and my great great great grandmother on my moms side did the same and just about everyone in my family have been introverts ......i honestly think im the worst of the bunch lol
So would you say that foreign students in Norway would be considered socially boring if they don't take up skiing or drinking?
I'm getting laughing wrinkles from your videos, there awesome.
Thank you for sharing .hope soon to visiit or work in Norway I have friend Norwegian he is so kind .
That would explain the red overalls during travels in Norway.. :D
I am from the United Kingdom and in London, people are so busy that they do not have time to talk. Peoplein England ignore other people too. However people have manners as well.
You know you're ina Norwegian house when all the rooms are small except the kitchen which is huge and there are things hanging from the ceiling curing.
It's like the Swiss how they go to Germany to get cheap things, because for example a hot chocolate would be 8CHF in Switzerland and in Germany it would be around 5 EUR. I bet that's the same difference between Sweden and Norway
Har sanne genser, elsker den, haha ^^
Bra video :)
Love Norway! I'm a Sonstegard and Olsen!
