The "wearing shoes inside" thing is SO weird to me. Why would you wear your dirty shoes in your house? Up in your furniture? Nasty. And; your feet needs air, they need to be free, lol.
exactly!
kaylee4video you know we discovered fire a few years back? Now we have access to a magical thing called HEATING
Wearing shoes in the house is something that would never make sense to me
ye and also the uneeded cleaning u would have to do all the time
Wearing shoes indoors is fine, its wearing your outdoor shoes inside with all the dirt they have on them that is the problem. lol
I am also from a country where people take their shoes off when entering home and it still baffles me that in some places people don’t take their shoes off! 😅
Only good reason I've ever heard was because otherwise you'll suddenly find a scorpion or snake attached to your leg.
In warmer cllimate, homes have a slightly different "role" and the temperature inside is the same as outside.. In cold Norway, you dont spend time outside much during 7-8 months of the year and if you have to go outside, it's only from A to B, Your goal is always to get to the next place with a pleasant temperature. Having a warm home is fundamentally the only thing that makes it possible to survive living here. The "equipment" you need to be able to be outside, several layers of clothes, winter shoes and a large thick jacket etc will be wet and dirty from the snowy climate so it's kind of a given to take the shoes off at least after the first time you notice the dirty tracks you left all over the living room of your friend.
@@roisingtommy I live in Norway, and we have quite okey temperature most of they year (depends on where in the country you live). I definitely do go out for more than just getting from A to B. The reason we take off shoes inside is that they are dirty, and I want to leave the muddy shoes by the entrance, and not drag that into the house. We never walk with outdoor shoes inside, not even sandals in summer.
@@weendey Yeah, in Oslo it's mostly november-to march it can get below zero and it's not as much snow anymore like it used to be back in the 90's. It's also at sea level. Just the difference between center of Oslo and the end stop on the subway up to Frognerseteren is very noticeable. Just outside of Oslo halfway to Lillestrøm fex, the snow is deep and everywhere most of the winter where Oslo has none.
I was speaking in general terms and around the culture of it. and also from personal experience being norwegian and also having family living in Brazil where the climate makes things different.
And i did mention dirty shoes as part of the reason
Yes, same here, people spit on the ground, pee on the ground theres pets walking, theres city birds walking around that eat garbage, theres homeless people and so on and so on. Why would i bring all of that into my home. You know, what is on the floor will end up in air, in your bed and in your food, because of air. You know i, like used to have small children that were crawling around and eating everything they found on the floor, why would i make them crawl on a floor that dirty.
Water quality is amazing, BUT, it's even better outside the big cities!
Wasn't there a listeria outbreak 20 years or so ago in Oslo... well...
@@svily0 Citizens is OSLO gets their water from two different sources. It depends on where in OSLO you live.
I beg the different. The first thing visitors outside Oslo does when arriving our house is to drink som tap water. But it could be that we are connected to the rigt resovar of water.
@@Mobraks you beg to different people?
In Oslo it depends on which lake you get the water from. There are two. Both are fine but one is noticeablly better
"You can't have strange socks."
Yes you can, I always wear odd colourful socks =D
Me to 😁😁
Happy Socks for the win!
My boyfriend also wears strange socks all the time. Even to our school ball!
I wear avocado socks right now :))
Welcome to Norway! We are happy to have you here! :)
I’m a born & bred Norwegian, and I find your videos amusing and interesting! Soooo funny to get a foreigners view upon one self! 😄 Thanks for sharing ❤️
Middag kl 18-ish er faktisk ganske sent for mange her, iallefall der jeg kommer fra. Der spises det middag rundt 16:30-17. Morsomt at det er så forskjellig fra land til land!
nei, det er veldig individuelt, mange som spiser middag klokka 20...
@@empawprint Ja, men det inntrykket jeg har, er at de fleste spiser middag når de kommer hjem fra jobb, som som regel er rundt 16-17. Det er selvsagt individuelt :)
@@Lithrilla rart egentlig det der, de fleste jeg kjenner spiser middag mellom 19-22 😅
@@empawprint Jeg tenker at siden hun nevner det i videoen, at hun spiser middag tidlig, så er det rimelig utbredt at folk spiser middag før kl 20, hvertfall der hun bor, siden hun reagerte på det liksom. Jeg kommer fra nord og der er det hvertfall ikke unormalt å spise middag rundt de tidspunktene jeg nevnte over :) Ja, rart :)
Vi har alltid spist middag kl.15 når vi har kommet hjem fra jobb/skole. Også har vi jo kveldsmat som kanskje er en typisk norsk greie.
That's the kind of videos I like the most! Hard facts about life in Norway, practical advice, objective information.
Also, here in Hawaii, nobody wears shoes inside the house. It's a Japanese tradition adopted by the culture; you don't bring the impurities of the outside world into your home. Home is your private sanctuary. I personally love this habit. I am originally from Brazil and received the Portuguese habits since Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese.
I am an American in Trondheim.
I now shop for food in smaller, 1 or two day batches now. I used to fill a giant shopping cart once a week in California. I al so bring my own shopping bags and carry my recycling to the self-serve redemption machines. Every neighborhood seems to have a store or two here. Downside is only the lack of choice and super high expense.
I rarely drive a car anymore, which shocks even me! It is expensive to own and operate a private car (taxes, registration fees, environment fees, insurance, parking, annual EU control, spiky tire fee, toll roads, fuel, maintenance) and public transportation, buses, trains and trams, is cheaper and actually convenient here.
There are a whole bunch of cultural things about bus riding in Norway. First people stand waaay apart from each other at the bus stop, so a single bus stop could have like 5 people scattered along 12 meters of sidewalk. Secondly, on the bus, everyone tends to sit alone, usually in a window seat, facing forward, absolutely no eye contact. It really messes with Norwegians if you sit next to them, or chat them up. It is nearly social death to take the rearward facing seats! 😂 Norwegians literally squirm and don't know where to look!
Big one for me was getting used to not saying "hi!" or " good morning " to strangers on the street. In America it is like a cultural habit "hey, how's it going, man". In Norway it tends to startle people (or cause a social panic as they wonder if they had met you before). It took me a year to break my American conditioning.
I have gotten used to smaller portions of food and drinks, which is good I think, except that it still costs double, sometimes quadruple what it costs in the USA. A "large" drink is the size of a small, has no ice cubes, and does not include unlimited refills usually. Not complaining, just reporting.
One of the best things is the air and water. Air quality is really, really good here. They actually test it to make sure it is in compliance. I think back on all those years in California that I could literally see the air that I was breathing and having the pollution alert days for particularly bad days. Yeah, and tap water is actually cold, clean and delicious here! not brownish, like New York, or possi possibly contaminated like Detroit. Imagine clean, free air and water as a basic human right. wow.
I absolutely loved your comment! All so true 🙌🏻
Yasunori Tsuchida I’m in Washington state. I would DIE if I couldn’t be chatty.
@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937 In Norway the others would die from shock and stress if you were chatty. I have lived in Norway my entire life (I'm Swedish but raised in Norway) and it nearly gave me a heart attack when a stranger first said "Hi" to me and then asked how I was doing and started talking. I got an existential crisis right then and there wondering if I really was doing well and who I was and so on.
YatzyPimentinha Nordlander Oh boy. That is quite an extreme from what I’m used to.
Are people in Norway helpful?
30 years ago I ran out of gas on Christmas and knocked on someone’s door for help. Mind you, it was 9pm.
I was invited in for a snack and the fellas in my family put gas in my tank.
I didn’t know these people from Adam.
In 2009, my car died in an big busy intersection. A guy stopped, put some chains on my car and towed my car to a parking lot.
@@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937 Well I personally noticed that people tend to be more helpful the further away from the main cities you are. We are generally helpful, but you kinda have to ask or indicate that you need help. Its just personal experience though.
I never get why people wear shoes inside? I feel so comfortable taking my shoes off when I get home + doesn't it get really dirty inside? I even see Americans wearing shoes inside while they have carpets..... makes no sense to me at all. Im Norwegian by the way and here we see that as a disrespect and my mom would slap me if I didn't take them off.
Did it all my life until I moved in with my boyfriend and learned to leave the shoes at the door, and you are right, its so much better to take them off when entering the home.
I don't know about elsewhere but our "outside" isn't really all that dirty and we do remove shoes when they are muddy or wet.
@@timmurphy5541 This might be the differnece.. When I am in the stables or out with my dogs I get muddy all the time here in Norway.. If its a very hot country or dry, and mostly sand its diffrent, because then you often go outside barfot aswell like in Costa Rica.. But in USA for eksempel the streets are dirty.. Dog poop for eksempel.. Dog pee, or humen pee.. Or gum.. Then it seems so awful to go indoors with shoes.. And even on the sofa or bed as many do.. Like you see in movies to.. Its worse to me to go on a dirty street and then indoors with shoes, then just clean mudd from the woods.. The woods if not full of trash might be muddy, but its "clean" dirt.. Still both makes for a lot of cleaning.. And I rather not have to clean all the time..
Im american and my mom would get pissed if i wore shoes in the house when i was young. Now im 22 and get irritated when other people wear shoes in my house. It makes the floors so dirty. I also live in Wisconsin so i think that the harsh weather has something to do with the habits
Half the people i know dont wear shoes inside and the other half do. I notice a difference with how clean the house is lol
That sweater emphasizes how green your eyes are! Love it
Born and raised in norway its good hearing you like it here, i live in Bergen myself
The oil you refer to is called "Tran", cod liver oil.
Green bottles 👍
It's cod liver oil. Your mother was smart to make you drink it when you were a kid as it enhances brain development, among other things. It originated in Scandinavia centuries ago. It was and still is very useful due to its high concentration of vitamin D, which we obviously don't get a lot of from the sun during the dark winter months up in the north.
The late Portuguese dinners always amazes me. I work at an music venue in Oslo and whenever we have artists from Portugal, I always have to work super late. They all want to eat a big dinner after the concert and it can last all night. Every other artist from around the world eats their dinner beforehand 😅
When I moved to Norway for one year of Erasmus I started to be comfortable with the bad weather, rainy, windy, snowy, it doesn’t matter, I go by bike everywhere 😍. Hi from a spanish guy living in Trondheim!
I'm impressed. That's very half-full-glass person! Some people are more resistent than... well, me :)
Funny hearing your thoughts about all this things I take for granted(:
I love your videos! Since I want to move to Norway your videos are really helpful and nice to watch! Please keep doing videos from Norway and in general:)!
I just officially moved here in November from the US and I’ve already started doing all these things regularly and it’s nice (: can’t wait to take my bike out when the weather starts to warm up. Thanks for the tip about the bike seat!
Welcome. 😉
It gets really hot in the summer, atleast for us norwegians :), going for a walk in the forest is really relaxing, people aslo tend to be more happy in the summer.
What state in the USA are you from
Hey do you have a way I could contact you with a couple of questions on your journey?
OMG!! Thank you for the advice on resale market!!!! Amazing finds!!!! =)
What a wonderful job you have done by going through all the things that we take for granted. Wonderful reflections. Good luck, further up the road...
Very interesting! I didn't know Portugal is so similar to the US in these instances. The shoes, water, the interruption, the meal times.. and many more I guess:) I moved to Sweden from Norway, they interrupt each other even less here, but I married an American and adapted to the American culture in his family which makes me struggle a bit - the difficulty is not to not interrupt others, but to not be interrupted when speaking! It's not as smooth! In cultures where you complete each others sentences, talking is so much smoother and much more bonding! That's what I find at least.
For those of you wondering about the interruption; the intention is not really to interrupt as much as it is to show interest by completing the sentence for them. It shows that you're listening, you understand and you feel the same way or at least can relate to it. When done smoothly, it creates such a great energy and chemistry in the conversation. I prefer it that way! I'm thrilled whenever I come across people who understand this form of communication.
The interrupting thing made me smile - I have done it a lot in the past. Trying to be more aware of this now 😊
Greetings from Tasmania!
Great video, going for house hunting can be so complex, we spent a lot of time trying to find information about rent, prices locations and so on. tip for anyone looking for this things... We used oboto.no a service run by Norwegian students. Super helpful with all our questions and they did find us an amazing location and appartement. Please do more videos about Norway :D
Good one hun, about the shoes and the socks.... That was hilarious, but so so true.... I'm from Norway, live in Trondheim a bit further north. I'll be following you. Loved this video.
As someone here said, if you eat more fruit and fish a week like atleast twice ... you should be getting most of the vitamins anyway, often people just make expensive pee by eating vitaminepills..
You're probably right, but most Norwegians have D-vitamin deficiency anyway, because of the long darkness, so it's not a bad idea to take some.
@John Doe Wouldnt say most, but alot got vitamin D deficiency in the winter, its not as bad as it kills people or anything, but it does fuck with hormones and mood, if you by any chance plan to argue this like with hooga, then show some links to where its proven wrong.
I have seen good documentary about salmon from Norway the most toxic fish in the world?🤔
It is on TH-cam.
@@gigggla Nah it's our love for beers and such the abstinants just try to find weird explanations and put words in our mouths. The real explanation is goverment. No Trumps here.
Classic! I love your videos. I have been here( Arendal) from California since 2010. Great perspective. Wonderful attitude!
Im from norway❤️ and im going to Portugal in the summer.
I am from Alta in Northern Norway, and think it is very interesting to hear about your experiences about Norway.
Im coming to alta in august on vacation!
Suggestions? :)
Just found your channel through our local newspaper (Diário de Coimbra). Very interesting video that makes us wonder on the things we do daily without questioning. Trying new ways of doing things is always worth it, even when living in the same place. Well done!
Cod Liver Oil is called Tran here in Norway, you can get it as the regular oil kind, or as capsules.
For even better water, go hiking in ''no man's land'' on a mountain area where they have not ruined the nature by building houses/cottages near any water resources. In most cases if you find a small stream of running water in these areas, it is totally drinkable and it taste pretty good.
I loved it.. its so true everything 👌💯❤😀
the no interruption thing is super cool!
Well presented! I've only been to Portugal once, staying in a hotel, so I didn't notice all the stuff you talked about. Now, thanks to this vid. I know! Thx for sharing!
Very nice video Mon! :-)
I moved to California from Finland over 40 years ago. I still take my shoes off indoors. Did the same in Japan, too.
Why did u move to California? Isnt Finland rich enough? Or is it because of other problems?
@@phantom4577 Problems? Maybe he likes Scandinavian?
Zen on Yeah, thats why Scandinavians dont move out. They live happily in their own countries.
I had this video in my recommendations because I'm thinking about moving to Norway and I was a little bit surprised when I first saw you. I have the same eye and hair color as you and you could literally be my sister :D I usually don't see that combination of dark brown and greenish eyes very often here in Germany :)
Welcome to Norway, enjoy your time here! Finn.no has saved me a lot of money and time as well as given an option to throwing things away. Another app I've started using is TooGoodToGo or however it's spelled. It's well into the mentality of not wasting resources and thinking of our future, not just our own consumer needs.
Fun to hear a Portguese perspective, I'll be sure to look by later to see what other things have happened.
After 4 years in Norway I also started having lunch at 11.30 and dinner at 6...and wearing work shoes, and taking vitamins, and talking less haha basically most of what you said :)
Glad to know I'm not the only one 😁
As a norwegian, dinner at 6 is still quite late, atleast on weekdays. Most people finish work around 4, so dinner is usually around 5. In weekends it's often later, like 19/20 ish.
@djroomba haha I know, I just go to the gym after work so it ends up being 6 usually but it totally makes sense with those working hours :)
@@djroomba1561 It's different from person to person, though. I usually eat dinner at 19-20. If my shift ends at 16, I'll just have a snack to tide me over until dinner.
Zubia Willmann-Robleda talking less😂that’s so true. No more small talks for me anymore 😀
Hi. In case you didn't know. Alot of milk and Yougurt comes with added vitamin D here in Norway. Very good for the long dark winters when the sun doesent shine :)
And kilogrammes of sugar 🤣
@@buleulek5153 In some of the Yougurt yes, milk and the natural one does not contain anything other than natural milk sugars.
Olá! Sou nova em seu canal. Moro em Portugal há três anos e meio e concordo com todos os pontos que você falou, principalmente em relação a "falar junto". Em Portugal há momentos que falam todos muito alto e ao mesmo tempo hahahaha eu fico zonza! Beijinho!!
Am soon moving to Norway in a week and this was so helpful.wow thanks 😍
Please don't get to crazy with the make up like most of girls in Oslo 😂
Cheers from a Greek in Norway. Love your channel, I subscribed! Ha en fin dag :)
Tran - is the Norwegian name/product for what you used drink back home - cod oil as you said! You can buy it any grocery store.. and there are commercials on TV - "Tok du for mye Mullers Tran?"
Omg!! I’m Portuguese too and living in norway! 😍
Interesting and charming! Greetings from a Norwegian.
4:50 Are you talking about "Tran" (codfish oil made from codfish liver) here? I also use office shoes, because using outdoor shoes indoors for hours is not god for my feet. Especially problematic with winter shoes. The Norwegian word for dinner is "middag", directly translated it means "mid day" because it was often served at noon. This was because the farmers started working quite early in the morning. The meal that is the closest to modern day lunch was "dugurd", typically served around 10 o clock.
Yes! I was talking about Tran ☺️ I had no idea about the middag = mid day thing! That is so interesting!!! 😲 Thanks for the input ☺️
@@MonAmieDesserts We got lots of words like that in our language. Hordaland (the county) is translated into Horda-Land witch means the land of the hords.
Office shoes, slippers or...flipflops if you are feeling rebellious...
Hello! Congratulations for your nice video. I'm a Portuguese too, and next summer (August) I'll go to Norway (Oslo and Bergen).
Ther interrupting is an interesting point. I never thought about it but we do the same in South Africa.
Here in austria the tapp water is also verrry good! Nice video!
I just recently moved to Norway myself! And I have a Brazilian background which has quite similar routines to Portugal, so I totally know how you're feeling. I had to experience the same changes myself, haha it was so weird at first. I fell in love with Norway once I moved in though. I live near Bergen, but Oslo is beautiful.
Unlike eBay, there’s no auction aspect to purchases paid through finn.no.
The resemblance to eBay ends with the “Buy it now” feature.
Think of it as an online classifieds (some similarities to Craigslist).
Have you tried Tran? It has lots of vitamins and fish oil. It's a green glass bottle sold at the supermarkets. I think it could be something similar your mother gave you.
what you say about voss tap water are 100% true. for many years i was spending a lot of time in a "cabin" for vacation summer time kind of close to where the factory are now, and we used exactly same water to drink and wash dishes with that voss now ship of to expencive resturants in us and all over the world.
Such a cutie! Welcome to norway! Love different cultures, and how different we are just inside europe.
North Europe - Scandinavia
Portugal, the south of Europe
I think it's far enough 😁
I will be in Norway in April! So excited! Cheers from America!
Me too.
Come and watch the northern lights 👍lots of love and Light from faraway Norway 🤗
I just found this video, and I've come from the U.S. to Norway to marry my fiance, so I'm moving over here! And already the first two are so accurate. I practically never take my shoes off when entering someone elses home unless to make myself more comfortable, and in my own home I just leave them in my room. But after being here for just 4 months, it's ingrained in me to take off my shoes at the entrance!! And I haaaaaaated the tap water in the U.S., the tap water here is amazinggggg
It's called fish oil I think, that cod oil you referred to. One of the first items I got while in Norway was a pair of wool socks :D And yes, to address the end of your video, talking uninterrupted is a big issue, not just in Norway. I have a couple of friends who just can't stop once they start talking... they flow from one topic to the next not letting anyone chime in. (they are a daughter and a father... I can easily interrupt the daughter, but feel kind of lost with her father). So yeah, be mindful and pause once in a while...
Wool socks are great.. You are warm on your feet, but you don't sweat..
I wear socks with holes in them and i don't eat breakfast or early lunch, takes lots of D vitamins during wintertime, Finn is one of my favorite places to buy things and i never buy bottled water lol. Welcome to Norway
The show thing was a new one for me as well! I have the same setup now. A bamboo bench at the front door, with a place for shoes. How do you like Norway though and what bright you there!? The long periods of time with either sun or lack thereof. I really want to visit, hopefully this year.
Welcome to Norway :)
As i see other have written that outside of big citys you can find better tap water. Witch is true :)
Shoes is off inside. Walking inside my parents house with shoes, Oh boy!! :o hehe (trouble!)
Not all take vitamines, but some need to due to lack of some types of vitamines.
Wonderful forest and mountain terrain to hike or visit!
Also you should check out the Aurora Borealis/Nordlyset during the winter time. IF the AB/nordlyset is strong enough you may get a glimps of it were you live. But better if you head a bit outside citys due to light pollution. Best if you are near Trondheim og better Tromsø :)
Wish you the best and enjoy Norway :)
Lykke til :)
I am norwegian: So nice to hear all these details that I have forgot to think about. And by the way; I never bike in winter, mostly because of the enormous tear and wear of the bike when it is used in the sluch of snow, water and dirt ;-)
In Czech you have to take off shoes when you will to room and tape water is drinkable as well..
I loved this video. It's so interesting to see how people grow up differently. We grew up in the same city and school, yet, I always had to take off my shoes inside! I think that most people don't realise that in Portugal we do not have carpeted or heated floors. The tiles are super cold. Also, most people have a "shoe allowance area" aka hallway, kitchen, garage. Xx
Hahahah I loved the shoe area part! 😅 In Portugal I normally changed to "pantufas" but if you have guests they would never take their shoes off. 💕
Which city is this? I didn’t hear it clearly
bottled water will always be way more polluted than tapwater, in Norway at least. bacterial count plus chemical leak from packaging.
Yes BPA is scary ugh
I started to eat more bread than rice when i moved here in Norway. Yes the water in Norway is really safe to drink
Office shoes - use tresko (clogs, with leather upper).
You can also buy a plane ticket on finn.no (include furniture, many different interiure things, houses/appartments etc).
Sorry if I messed ut something
Just came back from OSLO on 25th Jan, its one beautiful city with beautiful sceneries. Also them eyes, everyone has this beutiful color of eyes so as you as well. I wonder if its because of the region. Your words are totally honest i wish i had seen this before my visit :D
over 80% of the population has blue eyes in Norway. Globally, 80% has brown eyes so I can imagine it's noticeable to someone not from Scandinavia or Europe
good observation on the talking part vs interruptions .-)
Finn, is like amazon/eBay lol. But consider that Norwegians like to buy expensive things. So yeah, most likely you will find nice quality stuffs there.
Eating dinner at 18:00 is quite late in Norway. Usually, we eat dinner as soon as we get home from work, and that usually is anything between 15:00 and 16:30. In the weekends, you may find yourself eating dinner between 17:00 and 19:00 though, because that's when the best TV shows are,
Welcome to Norway :)
This information is good to know. Thinking about retiring in Norway. (I love Voss water) lol
When I studied abroad in the Netherlands I started doing the shoe thing (taking them off) among other things but when I came back to Mexico I tried doing that and everyone thought I was weird hahah. If I tried the last thing you said, about not interrupting, here in my country I would never get my chance to talk, so sad!
I love your videos, keep it up 🤩
Hahaha I loved this! I completely understand you 😅🥰
@John Doe In Mexico we don't take our shoes off because everyone has a mat outside their door to CLEAN their shoes, so we don't go inside "dirty" as you say. And just because other countries don't do the same things as yours doesn't mean they're doing something wrong, we have our own ways to keep it all clean ;)
A bit of intercultural context might help you in knowing that :D
@John Doe yeah in schooles not your home dumbass fuck you
Confirmed everything you said. I work in Norway in the summertime then return to my home country Italia.
In Svalbard (Spitsbergen) they take off shoes in any building like restaurants. It is a mining town so dirty outside.
Welcome to Oslo :)
Welcome to Norway 👍 Everything you say is correct, exept norvegians is not particular big on taking vitamins. Some take vitamin-D and a spoon of fishoil, most people don’t.
You basicly talk about all the things I miss after I moved to spain. The office shoe thing I am not sure I heard about before. It was a bit strange even for me.
It's true. I used to drink orange juice in the morning, but ever since I moved to Oslo, I drink iced water and it makes me feel privileged. I completely stopped drinking Coca-Cola. It's bizarre, but it's true. It's not the same throughout Norway. You may still want to drink Champagne in Paris, but the tap water in Oslo is exceptional.
As a Maltese I really relate to some of the things you mentioned 😂 especially the letting other people talk and not interrupt.... I guess it's just a Mediterranean culture which in Norway probably sounds very rude
I wouldn't say rude.. they just let you talk the whole time and say nothing haha 😅
@@MonAmieDesserts hahha yes you are right 😊👍
@@melanievella9440 Norwegian here. I especially notice this when i've been travelling to the french riviera, Portugal and in Italy. For me it sounds like people are shouting and interrupting each other all the time and i find it almost uncomfortable since we tend to be much more reserved in both body language and when talking :)
@@sensur1 It is just Mediterranean culture we like to express ourselves a lot 😂
@@melanievella9440 You're right , In bout Norway and Sweden it's considered to be rude! :-]
"finn.no" is similar to "craigslist", in Sweeden its "Blocket"
I thought it was about Finnish people. ;)
What is Sweeden?
Kim Caspar
F***ing keyboard on the phone 😂
Sweden - Sverige - søta bror
Remember, you don't need to take any other vitamins than vitamin D in Norway(which you can get from diary products or fish) . Our food is rich in vitamins and multivitamins / C-vitamins etc is a "scam". Also Tran (which many has already pointed out is cod oil) and Omega-3 capsules is more than enough / the only thing that you need.
Finn.no is amazing 😁 lots of free stuff speacly in oslo i got a full glass cabinet for free and its big 😊
Next up would be to use the bike year round. But you should probably get spiked tyres then lol. Oslo is pretty easy on the bikes, compared to - well - most other towns in Norway, since Oslo essentially lacks _mountains_ and only rarely see bad weather. (Being from abroad, you might _think_ the weather is bad in Oslo, but - trust me - it's not lol. But I think Portugal has some hefty Atlantic storms tho, so what do I know :)
Hi. I experienced the same changes as you mentionned by moving from Canada to Italy. In Canada the habit are about the same as in Norsay and in Italy is about the same than Portugal. I could not understand all my husband's family and friends in Italy who would not take their shoes off inside the appartment. For me it is a sign of not respect as you durty the other person's house. In Canada we have slippers inside and we offer slippers when people come at home so they can keep their feet warm when the weather get to -40 celcius
Woah Iv never heard of office shoes/socks that would be so inappropriate here in the US but it sounds amazing!!!
It is amazing!! 🙌🏻
Wow! You are sooooo pretty!!! :)
Very cold in Norway (haha, not) 😂🤣
Interesting video 😊
Hi 👋
now I live in Germany, The same things happened to me 😋
Great video! But could you make a video on how you become a Norwegian ? Like the paper work and so on.
it was very akkurate. :D i felt like i was reviewing myself. almost all of those i have learned here somehow. :D
I think the UK is similar to Norway? We always use slippers, take vitamins, buy 2nd hand, eat around 12.00 and 6pm-ish, are polite when talking, oh and QUE well!
my family eats dinner at around 10-11 am, done that since i was maybe 8.
If any of you were wondering what all those those in chat talking about Finn.no.. It is basically a norwegian online trading site like ebay for second had stuff. And Finn translate to English as "Find"
Amazing :-)
Haha, my sister had a portuguese boyfriend, and he was quite uncomfortable about taking his shoes off. He felt like his feet would stink up the place. To me it seems strange to want to keep them on inside someone's home.
Maybe his feet would stink because he never took of his shoes lol :D let them puppies breathe 😁
Wash your feet and change socks. Problem solved👍
