You reacted to this exact Reddit post over a year ago, two days after it got posted. But I love that your reactions are different from then, since you know more about Norway than you did at that time.
A sandwich with a piece of pepper is an open faced sandwich with white/yellow cheese and a slice of bell pepper, or paprika as it is know in the rest of the world.
We learn to write in Bokmål and Nynorsk (the two written languages), and English is something we all have to learn in school. Most of us also learn a bit of either French/german/spanish or mandarin in school.
We have a concept called 'dugnad' where a neighborhood will do maintenance and cleaning in communal areas like parks and playgrounds. Everyone brings tea or coffee, some sharable food, and equipment to clean things like wheelbarrows, rakes, and garbage bags. I love that about the town I live in.
I have been driving in Norway for 15 years and I probably used the horn 5 times, except if I honk to say “hi” or “goodbye” (beep beep). In Norway, the horn means business. If someone honks the horn at you, you’ve probably messed up bad and you should evaluate what just happened 😅
The "pepper" is from a plant we call Paprika, what you call bell peppers or sweet pepper. We will typically put them on things with cheese, like sandwiches and pizza. This breed of pepper stems from Hungary and will grow even in Norway under good summer conditions. When I was a kid my mother grew "paprika" and tomatoes in a few indoor pots all year round.
We have those tiny opening times on the front doors or windows to. In addition to those big letters on the outer wall. I think they meant Paprika on the sandwich.The grass varies around norway to. But since there generaly are enough of water everywhere, the grass never get real bad. The amount of phone towers in norway is also insane, thus the good coverage. the quality of the roads varies widely. Especially in the west of Norway, the roads can be horrible. real money are not entirely out of use in Norway. It is going that way, but not yet. John F. Kennedy spoke more than ten languages. Or so I have read several places.
“Very well maintained roads”. They must not have been to the west-coast 😂 Funnily enough, the carrot colored women here in Bergen are often from other places from what I’ve experienced. Like students etc.
We have a thing called vikeplikt, wich means we must stop for soft trafficants or Else we would loose our driverslicence and we will get a heftig fine as well
@@DarePerfect places that have a zebra crossing will definitively expect people to cross there, but many places don’t have a crossing at the right place, or not at all. Anyway,we are not allowed to drive into anybody else even if they cross whenever they feel like it. If you hit someone with your car you will definitively take the juridical blame. Maybe a bit less if they cross the road without taking care of themselves, if they run right in front of your car and you have no chance to break in time. I learnt this at driving school, be prepared to have pedestrians suddenly crossing over without noticing you, your car is bigger and stronger than a human being, so you must be gentle
Norways energy is around 80% hydroelectric. 10% wind, 5% solar. Makes electric car fuel clean and cheap. Gov. Also has reduced tax on EV. For the purpose of reducing emissions. It's oil is almost all exported. Its government owned and the surplus money goes into a welfare account, paying for state pension and investments around the world in sustainable energy developments. Even without the oil and gas it would still be a rich country. Its main resources are actually services, artificial fertilisers, and aluminium.
LOL! I would have loved to see you reacting to your own reaction a year back. I really enjoy your content! Funny how entertaining it can be to listen you you learning about my country!
An average of 3-4 languages spoken is a reasonable estimate for most Scandinavians. Almost everyone speaks their native language (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic, Sami). Most children these days are highly proficient in English, from a very young age. And due to close cultural ties, learning a second Scandinavian language is common, especially if you live in either Finland, Iceland, close to one of our borders, or if you're part of the Sami community. German, French, and Spanish are popular addon choices in middle school. Norwegians often travel to Spain in our summer and/or winter vacation. That's usually how we learn Spanish. In fact, tri-lingual children is not uncommon here in Norway.
🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻 Its true that the food is hike efficent. You know the tube's??? With different cheese in it and even fish in it? They are for hiking. They are made of metal and easy and not so messy to bring on a hike, and they don't break open in your bag. Also inside the KVIKK LUNSJ it's written good advices for you incase you get lost on your trip. From a NORWEGIAN.

Seen most of your videos about Norway and since I am a Norwegian born and bred. This is all true. Hope one day you will visit our nice country one day 😊Btw nr 21 about Norway we have 95% - 100% clean tap water safe to drink.
In our forests, We have a beautiful big red mushroom with white dots on called "fluesopp", means flee mushroom 🍄 and also a white flee mushroom which is extremely poisonous. Like deadly poison. ☠️ ☠️ Many have died while eating it. Especially tourists. 7 out of 10 different mushrooms are poisonous. And many of them look the same. You have to be an expert in mushrooms to pick them out and go home to frie and eat them. But we have "stations" we can visit with the mushrooms and expert people who can look at the mushrooms and tell us what kind of mushrooms we can eat. 👍 🇳🇴
Hey :) from Norway here, you get a fine of about 5000Kroner (about 500 euros) if you honk with out reason, and if you use you're light in an provoking mode.. it's called the: "Horn and light signal law" if people meet someone they know on the sidewalk, u hit/knokk/ FAST you honk horn so you only give a mini horn sound, so not to disturb our brothers and sisters in the traffic
I stopped bicycling along Norwegian roads because of some cars passed me too close and they even knew what they were doing. It was a bus passing me way too close one time, and I could have been seriously injured if I had come just a couple centimetres closer to the bus. I got so pissed, so I cycled on and I passed it at a light crossing. And I just gestured to the driver how close he was to me, and he smiled and nodded. I reported that guy to the bus company. But when there are professional drivers in the traffic that disregards sercurty in that way. I really cannot fully trust that the cars in the traffic will actually take care.
I agree with most of the things that are said, but I don't agree that we have good roads in Norway. There are good roads in southern Norway, but in the other parts of the country the roads are mostly of a terrible standard and the further north you go in the country, the worse the roads are, unfortunately. Norway is a rich country, but we clearly can't afford to prioritize our roads across the country.
Yeah phone 5G has great coverage in Norway at least everywhere I have been. Cabin or home both got internet despite not having actual plumbing in the cabin for toilets but internet we got🤣👌 priorities 🙈😂
Almost everything applies to Sweden as well, except maybe for the carrot-girls (in Sweden they seam to be shiny due to - I believe - Tik-Tok makeup tips 😅) Your reaction about the large opening hours signs on the stores gave me a hick up - haven't laughed this much for a long time 🤣 "Then you don't have to get out of the car to see the opening hours" 🤣🤣
@karindidriksen2768that might be it, tanning beds or spray tans. I live inland closer to Sweden. Never see anyone orange, can't get a spray tan here though.

You are incorrect, Honking is allowed when its necessary, not about being an emergency. The key point is that honking in norway is about not being excessive.
When someone is standing still at a green light it`s completely fine to do a short honk or two, ask a traffic cop, they`ll probably thank you for attempting to keep the traffic moving lol. But standing on the horn every time there`s a 2 second delay is different, you might get a polite request to not do that and a reminder that excessive honking is a nono.. I have never in my life seen someone get so much as a warning for honking in traffic here. I HAVE however heard many angru neighbors yelling STFU out of their windows because SOME people are too lazy to pick up their phone or go ring a doorbell, we all know the ones. Done that myself, several times. If you`re one of those people who HONK instead of telling people over the phone or sending a text, or ring the doorbell, stop it, get some help.
Norwegians, all of us, learn english at school from an earley age and listen to english/american popular music, and at 14-15 years old either french or german or spanish are optional as a 3. language in schools. I love to read and I buy a lot of english/american books
Hi! We do have the most rainy days, I think it's about 256 (+-) rainy days a year..😅 But women here are not orange!!😅😂 All though most of us do wish for melanin richness, we understand that it sadly isn't meant to be, and that bad spraytans certainly isn't the way to go about it..😂 Mostly we just go through the days in our own pale, drenched ghost look, smiling through the raindrops..😅❤
You need to learn about north norway. Tromsø, Senja, sami people, reindeer slede trips, dog slede trips, midnightsun, nothern light, Finnmark the list is endless
1 more often it is on the door to the store. The bid bold times are for bigger shoppingsenters , IKEA, grocerystores etc 2 even truer in the areas outside of the city centers 3 Bell pepper - we do notusually use peppers on our sandwiches 4 in my city we have green grass because it rains a lot 5 how strange that someone would be pointing out that we smile when so many tells us we are closed off and not open- weird 6 yes we have one of the highest % of eltric cars 7 you have to stop for pedestrians at the zebra crossings , but often they will also stop when there is no crossing - on a different note, we don't like bikers on the sidewalk as they behave like cars and don't care about the people walking, with strollers and dogs and toddlers 8 don't know much about that as I don't drive 9 yes we have great coverage for cellphones and often it sounds odd to me when I watch TV shows or movie from USA and you so often don't have cell cover - its a rare phenomena and if it happens it usually is in the news 10 it rains a lot in Bergen so some people feel better with a tan, selftan or tanning beds can be for personal selvcare 11 it all depends sometimes a problem is fixed in zero time, other times it takes longer, like in any country really 12 yes lots of sportshops and clothes and equioments for sports, leisure time, hiking, hunting , all types of weather. sleeping bags, tents, camping gear, but also ski and all sorts . And yes we have access to nature everywhere basically so would be weird not to use nature and be outside. And many people walk everywhere if you live in a place where everything is local to you , you will need good clothes and shoes , backpacks etc 13 train and ferry tickets are usually checked, not sure where they have been to be honest. Selfcheck is something we love to be able to chose a person checking your items or if you do a selfcheck. But yes people will trust you a lot. 14 we have special signs that will tell you about camping, eating, sleeping, gas, historical sites etc , so it is placed on the signs for the town. But I have seen that in UK as well and other countries nothing big about that here. 15 well they must have been to Oslo, as I live in Bergen and the westcoast have so much ba weather and we have land slides and broken roads here. But then again people on this side of the country seen to be paying for the roads in the Eastcoast - so not fully true 16 Alot is electronic, but we just passed a new law that the stores HAVE to accept cash as payment and it no allowed to deny people paying with cash. Apps are great, sometimes though cash has its purpose. 17 yes we have nice scenery . one of my fav things about living here
----- @masamuel40 ----- - Actually you are allowed to honk your horn if you get into a situation where someone nearly runs into you, f.e. if someone doesn't follow the laws and regulations regarding the duty to give way or the right of way, if you will. -----
@BizzyX78 I would count that as an emergency so it's allowed. It's when you're just irritated and honks the horn it becomes a problem and you'll get a fine.
This is likely a joke from the sender. Girls (and some men) tend to go a bit overboard with both makeup and self-tanning/solarium. This trend was more dominant around 2005, but it clearly hasn’t faded in Bergen yet. We find it amusing because the use of makeup is so ridiculously exaggerated.
I love all your norwegian-themed videos. I have seen some Ylvis reaction videos too from you. Please please please, If you like Ylvis, you HAVE to react to «pie jesu» at gullruten. They had pause entertainment in a norwegian award show. All the Norwegian celebrities and the prime minister were there, and it was broadcast live on TV. This just shows how crazy and fun those brothers are, cause it takes some balls to do that. And it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen from them!
11:00 There are barrier parking facilities, and a ton - if not most, not... - parking is paid parking that does get checked by parking cops every now and then, and if you park wrong or over the limit you paid for, you get a HUGE fine. There are controls on trains or ferries, at least back when I last took these, the thing with ferries is that you'd have to follow the directions of leaving your car and going up into the people area above the car deck(s), then the ticket person would make the rounds after spending enough time taking payments at the kiosk that everyone should have had the time to pay for tickets.
13:36 The most trafficked roads tend to be very well maintained, the less trafficked ones, like in residential areas where the bus doesn't go, it usually takes some time - months to years - before anything is done about the occasional holes here and there. (I live in a residential area, and this is my experience). The speed signs are almost non-existent on the rural roads, but on urban roads they are practically everywhere, yes.
A lot of Norwegians are actually trilingual, and most of us can also get by in Swedish and Danish and read it even better. It's not uncommon to have swedish or danish on television, undubbed. At most, there will be subs. Some German shows have also been shown subbed in Norway.
It`s clean because on sunday mornings, the seagulls and pigeons clean up the mess from the weekend, and on weekdays people are mostly sober and don`t throw half eaten hotdogs and kebab wrappings everywhere 😂
Plus the clean up person that comes with the machine around 6 am sunday morning;). It’s crazy how bad it will look for a few hours when drunk people have been to the mcdonalds etc in the late night.
It matters where the person having the culture shock is from. For example I have to remind myself every time I go to Italy (which is very often since my in-laws are Italian) that they don't care one bit if someone is walking in the cross-section on the road. If they stop to let you past you're expected to show appreciation, which is sort of like thanking people for stopping at red lights. If you travel from Switzerland you may find Norwegian drivers to not pay enough attention to pedestrians (I once got yelled at because I stood in the vicinity of a cross section without intending to cross)
"Honking" is illegal outside of alerting to an actual possible dangerous incident. And as others' have said, you've seen this one before :P 13 is wrong. We check tickets. Just not a lot, and it's actually a problem, tons of people "sniker"/"sneak" as we say.
Most of the comments are from Norwegians. This makes total sense. Norwegians truly believe they are best in everything. Your channel is ensuring them a lot. 😆 BTW: I love your channel.
America is playing catch-up with the rest of the world in many ways. American infrastructure is decades behind the likes of Japan. America bombed into oblivion Osaka and Heroshima on the 6 and 9 of August 1945. Japanese infrastructure is amongst the best in the world. The Shinkansen high speed train is amazing you can travel from Tokyo to Osaka in 2hrs16mins a distance of 320miles at an average speed of 180mph. While America has stood still countries like Japan have moved on considerably compared to America.
The mushrooms grow on the lawn. Some mushrooms are psychedelic, but they are not allowed to be picked. But it is difficult for the police to control who people pick on a large plain.
Hotels and other serviceplaces are not as indulgent here as their American counterpart. We get proper paid and are bot dependent of tips from customers. We also tend to react negative to foreigners being loud and obnoxious making silly demands that they are used to get in their own culture. I would love to know a bit more about what kind of problems they had with their hotel, and how they behaved against the employees. 10:24

Is it just me or does this guy's brain reset every year. Tyler learned all these things before, multiple times. But now he's acting all surprised and shocked like.
I don't think it takes a year, some times it feels like a week is enough. If AI was a little more ahead back when he started his channels I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if this was all just AI generated content. After watching far too many of these videos they just feel far too generic and bland, and he never interacts with his audience which I think is an enormous missed opportunity.
the "hotell issue" could be alot of things that is basically not in the employees control to fix. or it could have been a "karen" writing the list :P or the folks at work that day just didnt know how/was new. Or, said person chose sub par accomjadations, as can happen all over the world. Ferry tickets is automatic now since covid. a camera takes picture of license plate and it arrives in mail a few feeks later.
Many of us can't speak English, but we understand English. If we turn on subtitles, we get confused by the translations. When I watch your movies, I don't have subtitles, the same with other English-speaking movies.
You are envious that the people of other countries can speak English in addition to their own language, and You would also like to be able to speak another language. But you have no idea how easy and convenient it is for you. Think about it, everyone else learns your language as you know perfectly, the rest of us, don't know it perfectly, we are missing a few words here and there and everywhere. I understand English better than I speak it, and I speak it better than I write and read it. But I did understand everything you said in this video. For example, I wrote this in my own language and then used Google Translate to translate it into English, which you are been spared, to communicate with people from other countries
There is control on trains and busses. I knew so eone that went into wrong place on lokal train. They got to pay 1000 n. kr.I wonder about the el.cars? No one talk about where the stuff inside the batteries come from.. Kids digging it up down under earth. Nobody talks about it.😮 🇸🇯
you have seen and reacted to tunnels in Norway with rondabouts inside.. now you say that you didn't knew about it.. What to believe :P Well maintained roads???????? Hahahaha, wonder where that person was.
first off the ticketing thing is partly true but they can do random checks and the fine is steep if riding without a ticket. second what is the point of having a self checkout if having staff there to monitor you. just makes zero sense.
North Norwegian here. Opening hours: Law says when different shops have to close. (Labour right protection) Smart to tell costumers when its closed. Quietness: Norway is the land of introverts, extroverts moves south to tax paradice. Tunnel roundabouts and roundabouts in alomst every crossrads. Spray on tan if you want tan. Sunshine is scares, spesialy in Bergen. Great sosial security keep thieves fat and lazy and police here need gets universerty education, learn to solve every problem without a gun. Clean everywhere: pick up trash of others, yepp i do. Nothing is dubed in media, english is flooding in from everywhere. Hard to bypass.

Norwegians, all of us, learn english at school from an earley age and listen to english/american popular music, and at 14-15 years old either french or german or spanish are optional as a 3. language in schools. I love to read and I buy a lot of english/american books
They monitor your car's number plates at ferry's, and ticket payment is sent via mail!
well Bergen has the most rain days of all norwegian citys, so not mutch sun there. guess they use a lot of fake tan lotions to compensate :)
Hi! We do have the most rainy days, I think it's about 256 (+-) rainy days a year..😅 But women here are not orange!!😅😂 All though most of us do wish for melanin richness, we understand that it sadly isn't meant to be, and that bad spraytans certainly isn't the way to go about it..😂 Mostly we just go through the days in our own pale, drenched ghost look, smiling through the raindrops..😅❤
You need to learn about north norway. Tromsø, Senja, sami people, reindeer slede trips, dog slede trips, midnightsun, nothern light, Finnmark the list is endless
The «carrot-coloured girls» was a shortlived trend. I think it died as soon as the carrot-coloured American started talking publicly 😅
If that was a trend then that was in late 90s into the early 2000s. But that trend was all over, not only Norway😂
1 more often it is on the door to the store. The bid bold times are for bigger shoppingsenters , IKEA, grocerystores etc
2 even truer in the areas outside of the city centers
3 Bell pepper - we do notusually use peppers on our sandwiches
4 in my city we have green grass because it rains a lot
5 how strange that someone would be pointing out that we smile when so many tells us we are closed off and not open- weird
6 yes we have one of the highest % of eltric cars
7 you have to stop for pedestrians at the zebra crossings , but often they will also stop when there is no crossing - on a different note, we don't like bikers on the sidewalk as they behave like cars and don't care about the people walking, with strollers and dogs and toddlers
8 don't know much about that as I don't drive
9 yes we have great coverage for cellphones and often it sounds odd to me when I watch TV shows or movie from USA and you so often don't have cell cover - its a rare phenomena and if it happens it usually is in the news
10 it rains a lot in Bergen so some people feel better with a tan, selftan or tanning beds can be for personal selvcare
11 it all depends sometimes a problem is fixed in zero time, other times it takes longer, like in any country really
12 yes lots of sportshops and clothes and equioments for sports, leisure time, hiking, hunting , all types of weather. sleeping bags, tents, camping gear, but also ski and all sorts . And yes we have access to nature everywhere basically so would be weird not to use nature and be outside. And many people walk everywhere if you live in a place where everything is local to you , you will need good clothes and shoes , backpacks etc
13 train and ferry tickets are usually checked, not sure where they have been to be honest. Selfcheck is something we love to be able to chose a person checking your items or if you do a selfcheck. But yes people will trust you a lot.
14 we have special signs that will tell you about camping, eating, sleeping, gas, historical sites etc , so it is placed on the signs for the town. But I have seen that in UK as well and other countries nothing big about that here.
15 well they must have been to Oslo, as I live in Bergen and the westcoast have so much ba weather and we have land slides and broken roads here. But then again people on this side of the country seen to be paying for the roads in the Eastcoast - so not fully true
16 Alot is electronic, but we just passed a new law that the stores HAVE to accept cash as payment and it no allowed to deny people paying with cash. Apps are great, sometimes though cash has its purpose.
17 yes we have nice scenery . one of my fav things about living here
It's illegal to honk your car horn here 😂 unless you need help immediately.

- Actually you are allowed to honk your horn if you get into a situation where someone nearly runs into you, f.e. if someone doesn't follow the laws and regulations regarding the duty to give way or the right of way, if you will.
-----
@BizzyX78 I would count that as an emergency so it's allowed. It's when you're just irritated and honks the horn it becomes a problem and you'll get a fine.
The carrot people scare me
This is likely a joke from the sender. Girls (and some men) tend to go a bit overboard with both makeup and self-tanning/solarium. This trend was more dominant around 2005, but it clearly hasn’t faded in Bergen yet. We find it amusing because the use of makeup is so ridiculously exaggerated.
@@archiehoskerthis is not true about Bergen😂
I love all your norwegian-themed videos. I have seen some Ylvis reaction videos too from you. Please please please, If you like Ylvis, you HAVE to react to «pie jesu» at gullruten. They had pause entertainment in a norwegian award show. All the Norwegian celebrities and the prime minister were there, and it was broadcast live on TV. This just shows how crazy and fun those brothers are, cause it takes some balls to do that. And it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen from them!
In Norway, we don’t give tip to the waiters/ waitresses in the restaurants or cafes. It is not a «must».
11:00 There are barrier parking facilities, and a ton - if not most, not... - parking is paid parking that does get checked by parking cops every now and then, and if you park wrong or over the limit you paid for, you get a HUGE fine. There are controls on trains or ferries, at least back when I last took these, the thing with ferries is that you'd have to follow the directions of leaving your car and going up into the people area above the car deck(s), then the ticket person would make the rounds after spending enough time taking payments at the kiosk that everyone should have had the time to pay for tickets.
13:36 The most trafficked roads tend to be very well maintained, the less trafficked ones, like in residential areas where the bus doesn't go, it usually takes some time - months to years - before anything is done about the occasional holes here and there. (I live in a residential area, and this is my experience). The speed signs are almost non-existent on the rural roads, but on urban roads they are practically everywhere, yes.
A lot of Norwegians are actually trilingual, and most of us can also get by in Swedish and Danish and read it even better. It's not uncommon to have swedish or danish on television, undubbed. At most, there will be subs. Some German shows have also been shown subbed in Norway.
I tried watching Klovn (🇩🇰)without any subtitles. It’s difficult😅. Swedish is fine, I can click on my phone at the same time and still follow along.
Hi from Oslo..i love ur videos❤
Are not most American former Europeans … in the past
This is a tunnel roundabout in Norway.

Hi i am from Norway 😊😅
Hi.
It`s clean because on sunday mornings, the seagulls and pigeons clean up the mess from the weekend, and on weekdays people are mostly sober and don`t throw half eaten hotdogs and kebab wrappings everywhere 😂
Plus the clean up person that comes with the machine around 6 am sunday morning;). It’s crazy how bad it will look for a few hours when drunk people have been to the mcdonalds etc in the late night.
Natural grass is the real thing.
It rains in Norway.
It matters where the person having the culture shock is from. For example I have to remind myself every time I go to Italy (which is very often since my in-laws are Italian) that they don't care one bit if someone is walking in the cross-section on the road. If they stop to let you past you're expected to show appreciation, which is sort of like thanking people for stopping at red lights. If you travel from Switzerland you may find Norwegian drivers to not pay enough attention to pedestrians (I once got yelled at because I stood in the vicinity of a cross section without intending to cross)
"Honking" is illegal outside of alerting to an actual possible dangerous incident. And as others' have said, you've seen this one before :P 13 is wrong. We check tickets. Just not a lot, and it's actually a problem, tons of people "sniker"/"sneak" as we say.
WNorwegians learn to speak and spell english from first grade (age 5-7), but grammar is hard for some :')
Most of the comments are from Norwegians. This makes total sense. Norwegians truly believe they are best in everything. Your channel is ensuring them a lot. 😆 BTW: I love your channel.
Of course we are best at everything : )
@@lillia5333 even the prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland said it like 30 years ago. «Its typical Norwegian to be good». :)
America is playing catch-up with the rest of the world in many ways. American infrastructure is decades behind the likes of Japan. America bombed into oblivion Osaka and Heroshima on the 6 and 9 of August 1945. Japanese infrastructure is amongst the best in the world. The Shinkansen high speed train is amazing you can travel from Tokyo to Osaka in 2hrs16mins a distance of 320miles at an average speed of 180mph. While America has stood still countries like Japan have moved on considerably compared to America.
That's bell pepper, aka paprika.
The mushrooms grow on the lawn. Some mushrooms are psychedelic, but they are not allowed to be picked. But it is difficult for the police to control who people pick on a large plain.
It is loud in Norway and it is honking so yeah
In the mid 1980’s there was more 24 hours gas stations in Norway than the rest of Europe combined…
Hotels and other serviceplaces are not as indulgent here as their American counterpart. We get proper paid and are bot dependent of tips from customers. We also tend to react negative to foreigners being loud and obnoxious making silly demands that they are used to get in their own culture.
I would love to know a bit more about what kind of problems they had with their hotel, and how they behaved against the employees. 10:24
You've reacted to the same exact post before 😅
Sounds like heaven to me ! Any angels floating around ?
@@ngaourapahoe a lot of them are 😂
I Really think you should come and visit us here in Norway, and Get a real, life experience of this country. You are welcomed here👍❤️
Peppers are decorative.... colourful...
Yeah they don't taste anything at all.. 👀
@@LeperMessiah2 It depends on how they are grown. Just like tomatoes.
Cash is almost on the illegal marked.

Is it just me or does this guy's brain reset every year. Tyler learned all these things before, multiple times. But now he's acting all surprised and shocked like.
I don't think it takes a year, some times it feels like a week is enough. If AI was a little more ahead back when he started his channels I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if this was all just AI generated content. After watching far too many of these videos they just feel far too generic and bland, and he never interacts with his audience which I think is an enormous missed opportunity.
@@norboost Right. And come to think of it, I swear this exact video is a reupload. I guess it's all just easy money, huh?
@@BrianPolitics Yup - he reacted to this exact content a year ago.
the "hotell issue" could be alot of things that is basically not in the employees control to fix. or it could have been a "karen" writing the list :P or the folks at work that day just didnt know how/was new. Or, said person chose sub par accomjadations, as can happen all over the world.
Ferry tickets is automatic now since covid. a camera takes picture of license plate and it arrives in mail a few feeks later.
Many of us can't speak English, but we understand English. If we turn on subtitles, we get confused by the translations. When I watch your movies, I don't have subtitles, the same with other English-speaking movies.
Many can’t speak English? I would say most people get by
I cannot remember last time i had to use cash 🙂
For me..., 1997.
17:45 yes
Tyler ask me a question of your choise and i will awnser
(Pls notice this time)
Outside citys you must use a satelitte phone.
I think its to much digitalized. For older people its hard to keep up.
You are envious that the people of other countries can speak English in addition to their own language, and You would also like to be able to speak another language.
But you have no idea how easy and convenient it is for you.
Think about it, everyone else learns your language as you know perfectly, the rest of us, don't know it perfectly, we are missing a few words here and there and everywhere.
I understand English better than I speak it, and I speak it better than I write and read it.
But I did understand everything you said in this video.
For example, I wrote this in my own language and then used Google Translate to translate it into English, which you are been spared, to communicate with people from other countries
When you get outside the citys and on the hills and mountains you can not use the phone or internet at all.
9:10 i did not know that americans also joked about that
Try to do the google maps street view and see things yourself
There is control on trains and busses. I knew so eone that went into wrong place on lokal train. They got to pay 1000 n. kr.I wonder about the el.cars? No one talk about where the stuff inside the batteries come from.. Kids digging it up down under earth. Nobody talks about it.😮 🇸🇯
6:36 it's so annoying having a pedestrian on the hood of you car or getting new side mirrors every now and then, best to have a little distance.
you have seen and reacted to tunnels in Norway with rondabouts inside.. now you say that you didn't knew about it.. What to believe :P
Well maintained roads???????? Hahahaha, wonder where that person was.
Definitely not in Northern Norway 🙄
I don't know where this person has been. But there are a lot of terrible roads in Norway. People complain about the roads daily.
Hahaha what? You really have to be squinting to see the opening hours in America? 😅 That's funny the way he said that
first off the ticketing thing is partly true but they can do random checks and the fine is steep if riding without a ticket.
second what is the point of having a self checkout if having staff there to monitor you. just makes zero sense.
Last year, 2024, 90 percent of all private new cars sold were electric 😊
BELL PEPPER
Well you see. 400 million (at least) has English as there native language and only 4 million speaks Norwegian. Of course we have to be bilingual
The norske people
People who is from Norway->
Ive would like to invite you to Norway. We have won lotto every day. I dont have to do anything and get 3000 dollar every month til i die
You may call this civilisation.
Hhaha, i Got a lock on my mailboks, and i Got high tech security with cameraes with more, but the older generation are different..
Low small talk and smiling is the most annoying thing ever. I hate it.
North Norwegian here. Opening hours: Law says when different shops have to close. (Labour right protection) Smart to tell costumers when its closed. Quietness: Norway is the land of introverts, extroverts moves south to tax paradice. Tunnel roundabouts and roundabouts in alomst every crossrads. Spray on tan if you want tan. Sunshine is scares, spesialy in Bergen. Great sosial security keep thieves fat and lazy and police here need gets universerty education, learn to solve every problem without a gun. Clean everywhere: pick up trash of others, yepp i do. Nothing is dubed in media, english is flooding in from everywhere. Hard to bypass.
