- As an American I find myself having a lot of questions about Norway and Norwegian culture, since Americans normally grow up not learning about other countries such as Norway. Today I am very excited to learn the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Whats make coffee in Norway great is the purity of the water... no milk or syrup needed :)
i love coffee.
Not just that but we gave been importing coffee since the 1700s and it's always been high quality. High quality beans means you can do light roasts and get more flavour and less bitterness.
Agree!...and sugar in coffee is disgusting, like syrups.
In Norway people usually start working at 8 or even 7 in the morning, so that is why we can leave work at 3 or 4. It is still 8 hours of work, we just start earlier
It is 7,5 hours, actually, you forgot that there is 30 mins paid lunch break included.
@@Tvjunkieful12 Not everyone have payed lunch break. It depends on the workplace. If you've got a payed lunch break, you're obligated to stay at the workplace if necessary, be available on the phone etc. If it's not payed, you can do whatever you want during your break.
@@Ridiculina According to the law a normal working week in Norway is 40 hours - that is 8 hours a day. But according to most tariff agreements the working week is defined to 37.5 hours a week. The break is included in normal working hours. It is normally 30 mins, but can be shortened or moved if necessary. If the break is moved until after normal working hours it is considered to be overtime.
What you Americans call coffee is very rare to find in Norway. You won't see people drink coffee with a lot of sugar, creamers and/or syrup in them. Mostly it's black coffee, or coffee+some milk/cream in it.
There's about 450,000 cabins in Norway. Coffee is normally consumed black in most homes and workplaces (sometimes with a dash of milk), while the more fancier versions with milk is more common at coffee shops . Bread is a lot healthier in Norway, it as more whole grains, and way less sugar (usually less than 2% sugar) than American bread (5-6%)
Nowadays many have coffee machines at home they buy little capsules of pre-prepared different types and flavors of coffea for. Sale of ordinary grained and roasted coffea in ordinary supermarkets has dropped a little. Not just because of the coffee machine, but also because many have bought coffee deals with petrol station chains, and can fill up their little termo cups with coffee as often as they want for an entire year.
Norwegian meals:
6-8 am Breakfast: bread, maybe cereal
10-12 Lunch: bread
17-18 Dinner: hot home cooked meal
8-10 Supper: bread
Fr
Not entirely correct. Many have warm lunches. Either in work cafeterias, or restaurants. Working lunches at restaurants with clients or customers are also quite common. Many also have rolls instead of ordinary bread. And although your times for the various meals are mostly correct, add an hour before and after for dinner, add an hour for breakfast (many non-food shops opens at, 10 and just a few staff turn up earlier than 15 mins before).
Traditonally yes we have a 4th meal called: «aftensmat» from Danish or «kveldsmat» meaning late evening food/meal. It’s not as common anymore, but I grew up with this in the 90’s and 2000’s. If I was hungry before bed I had 1-2 slices of bread with the traditional white cheese or meat on top. Some may do cereal or eggs. This totslly depends on how hungry you are or what you have available. Not everyone eats breakfast or even lunch, myself included.
Factory workers usually start 7am off by 3pm, office workers start 8 or 9am off by 4 or 5pm.
Or factory workers work overtime, or start 5-4am, ITS not evry norwigan eat brakfist
We get off work earlier because the day start earlier. My workday often starts at 0630, so then I go home at 1430. I prefer that, I feel like I get more out of my day.
The egg on bread is just hardboiled or fried egg on buttered bread. Often we put kaviar on the hardboiled egg since the salty seafood taste goes well with eggs.
I moved out when I was 15 for school... take care of my own economy and every responsibilities that comes along..
Lunch:
It depends on your work place. Many places don’t have a cafeteria, so you need to bring a lunch.
To bring warm food is not strange or wierd. Very normal most places.
Kveldsmat, evning snack:
Usually bread, but also salads, fruit, left over dinner etc
Work hours:
The norm is 8h work day, so if you start at 6 you will be off at 14.
Norwgian food:
He is explaining a very boring diet. Most people ( at lest the ones I know) eat more vaiation.
8 hr work day is not only the norm, but it's governed by law and collective bargaining agreements
Just plain black coffee, is delicious! 🍀
Agree 👍
Especially when using fresh beans and a coffee grinder ;)
The common thing is to move away to study, but some actually already move out during high school - it's more common in the really rural areas where there might be too long of a commute to the nearest high school - but you might also do this if you plan to take specific courses that your local high school doesn't offer. I moved away at 16, when I started high school (one year in one town, then the next two years in a town further away). I was not the only person in my class who lived on their own.
When it comes to independence in Norway I would say it starts as young as +16, a lot of people move out from their parents at this age to go to high-school in different parts of the country. also when starting High-school you can apply for a scholarship which is given out to students who come from lower income families or to students who have move out to go to school in different parts of the country which makes students less dependent on their parents.
Independence starts much earlier. I will say at age 6-7 when kids walk alone to school.
@@MrMKE100 I must say I do agree
Indeed, used to be even earlier when I grew up, we started traversing the island where I grew up alone from about age 5. I was not in kindergarten so us kids in the neighborhood were just out all day instead so our independence started probably at around age 4 out in the neighborhood streets and later all the surrounding streets, forests, and beaches etc. @@MrMKE100
Norwegians usually work about eight hours a day. Some of us will work a lot of overtime but most of us don't.
7,5 hours.
Overtime is the rule, more than the exception. Anything from hospitals and care homes to law firms or the building sector would come to a stop without it.
Supper is a common meal in the British Isles. Usually just a snack (crackers and cheese, ham and tomato, chicken and mayonnaise etc) before bed time.
In the rural areas it's often custom for teens to go to another city to go to high school and specially college.
I was 15 when I moved from home.
Regarding the Cabin, the Ylvis brothers had a really ironic song with a music video that was hilarious
Great suggestion. Tyler should react to more Ylvis.
Remember that normal office hours in Norway is 8 am to 4 pm, so if Dolly Parton was Norwegian she would be singing "working 8 to 4..." which doesn't really have the same ring to it. But the true answer to when, and how long Norwegians work is; it depends.
If you work in a office, normal working hours is from 8 AM to 4 PM, including 30 minute lunch break. 37,5 hours pr week.
Black coffee is regular, Bread was very usual, but i feel like younger people eat different now than last gen. But ofc, there are more bread-eating in Norway than other countries still.
People eat a lot of egg, scrambled, omlett, boiled and so on for breakfast.
Lunch is moved away from bread the most, we now eat leftovers from dinner, or other kind of food that we heat up.
Breakfast beverages are typically milk, orange juice or apple juice in addition to coffee. We often eat bread, or cereal of some sort. We work 7,5 hours Monday to Friday typically 8AM to 4PM and hava a 30 minute lunch in addition during the day.
A fish-farmers mealroutine couplenof generations ago (i remember this fondly when staying with my grandparents)
6am-ish breakfast - bread (something fancy like an egg in the weekends) news and weather forecast on the radio while eating is a must…
… i guess work the fields or fish depending on the season
12… Dinner?! - a quick sweep through todays paper, then
… i guess continuing whatever you did
16-ish «Non» or «nons»
Yep. Bread again
… probably some more work to be done …
20-ish kvelds(mat)
Bread… again
Couple of hours of time off, fetch the accordion maybe, knitting, reading the rest of the newspaper, figure out the crossword.
With each meal, at some point at least 1 cup of coffee, as black as it gets… in the weekends might fetch the teapot for the kveldsmat
Average amount of coffee is 4-6 cups.
We can by fancier coffee at starbucks or other coffee shops, but at home we usually just have black coffee since it is easier and cheaper.
Black coffee is the staple here yes, I used to have 8 cups a day, but now 1-2 a day. I even had some drawback symptoms with being drowsy all day in the first week HAHA We love coffee
1. There's an "egg-slicer" that many have that will make fine slices of a hardboiled egg, though you need to peel the egg first.
2. When it comes to coffee, we like it black.
3. As for Juice, there is indeed orange-juice, along with the apple-juice it's among the most common ones.
4. Bread in Europe in general is healthier than US made bread, containing less sugar.
5. Lunch in norway is not always "bread", and as many companies have a cafeteria, many of which have warm food.
6. As for "leaving work at 3-4(pm), well, we start our workday at 7-8(am) and a standard workday is 8 hours (including 30-minute lunch).
7. "Kveldsmat" would be a light evening meal, maybe 1-2 slices of bread with a topping, along with a glass of milk or juice.
He was eating hard boiled eggs on bread. Hard boiled eggs in slices, then maybe something like mayonnaise on top.
We ofter put something like cold white cheese, and cucumber on bread. Maybe instead of cucumber you put paprika.
Or if you arent feeling the cheese combos, try one of our famous spreads🤣 or brown cheese, or jam😄👌
3:56
Our coffees tend towards black, but southern European coffee taste has also spread here so milk, sugar etc is also common, but black is definitely more common here then further south.
Yeah, we have an 8 hour work day, but that includes a half hour lunch break, so technically 7.5 hours work. And that's why we don't go out to eat for lunch; the break is only 30 minutes. Overtime does however exist in various professions, though it is of course regulated through various laws.
Personally I enjoy a glass of orange juice in the morning and if my appetite isn't too great I'll have sereal, usually müsli. Otherwise I'll go for a couple of slices of bread. I like having noodles in a cup or similar quick "add boiling water" meals for lunch.
The traditional Norwegian diet did not include snacking, which is why we had that fourth meal. If I decide to snack I will of course skip the evening bread meal, though I'm relatively likely to switch them around though and either snack or have a slice of bread early and have supper later.
And yes, we drink a lot of coffee, mostly black. "Snack" coffees are available but generally considered snacks.
On my visits to the US the majority of breakfasts and other meals have been excellent (mostly at hotels).
But one visit comes to mind - were I was forced to stay at a hotel near LAX due to everything else being fully booked. The hotel said it was "including breakfast".
Turns out that this breakfast was a large selection of Dunkin Donuts (still in the cardboard boxes) and a couple of big kettles of coffee - and that was it!
Yes it is normal to move away after high school to move to a city with one of the bigger university with more studies and opportunities than smaller universities in home towns. (Like masters or some bachelors you usually need to be in the bigger cities to get). So we do move out early if we move somewhere else, get student loans to pay for university.
In norway we expect people to have high education, it is almost a given in modern society that higher education means more work opportunities so it is drilled into us early that school is important 👌
Some don't move away to study in universitiy, in which case they stay home in their parents house to save money to get a enough money to a higher loan when buying a first time apartment and home.
Bread with hardboiled eggs on is so good. And healthy!
In Sweden we are very similar, a typical workday can be 07:00-16:00 , 07:30-16:30 or other variations. (07:00 Start Shift, 09:00 Breakfast, 12:00 Lunch, (15:00 Fika Break), 16:00 End Shift). Norwegians eat more sandwiches during the workday than Swedes. But we like a classic ostmacka (cheese sandwich) now and then too.
Oh and you should definitely try bread with hard boiled eggs! I prefer with white bread, but i feel maybe your US bread would be too sweet maybe? So i'd suggest with a whole wheat bread which is also great. I prefer having just bread with butter, eggs and some salt on top, but a lot of people like it with some mayo as well, and maybe a bit of lettuce. Real delicious and simple! Should try :D
We do often or every day eat oat for breakfast, with milk/yoghurt and nuts/dried fruit/jam or as an porriage.
The coffee is a must have!
One to two coffee mugs a day (that would translate to 2 litres of coffee as minimum).
It also,have to be black, no additives and two times asphalt!
We drink any juice, meat is a must for any meals!
Who the heck only eat bread, of course you would prepare to much dinner or similar hot meals to freeze leftovers and take with you for lunch for the rest of the week (9 clock coffee/meal, 2 clock coffee/meal (yes I'm a sparky from northern Norway)
working hours 7 to 4 and fridays 7 to 2 (due to working a half an hour or more extra each previous day)
usually 7.5 hours a day.
People who live outside towns move from parents from 15/16 years old, to get education !
True. And since a lot of Norwegians actually live outside towns, it is quite a few Norwegian teenagers that move out that early.
When I had a job in kindergarden or grocery store it started at 7-14, 8-16 or 9-17, 15-22 and is pretty common if you don't work in an office, not all of us work in an office.
Breakfast is usually a slice of bread with Norvegia cheese. Norwegians eat a lot of this cheese aswell as brown cheese. It's a lot more common to eat porrige or something else for breakfast nowadays.
7:25 While in the US you have the "9 to 5" in Norway we would say "8 to 4" instead. We're just offset one hour earlier, at least for office work.
I'm a tea person, I very rarely drink juice, and I have water with my breakfast. I don't like coffee, but I love Coke too much.
Breakfast is oats porridge, or whole-grain bread or chrisp bread with various spread on it and maybe some salad.
And I moved out at 17 :)
A lot of people actually move out the year they turn 16, to start upper secondary school. Usually if they're from a tiny town. I moved 8 hours by public transit away from my parents because i wanted to go to a school that offered art, design and arcitechture as a studying-direction. There are about 25 000 kids in Norway inbetween 16 and 19 who dont live with their parents while going to highschool
05:48, 07:29, and 07:55 Yes, that is pretty normal, it's usually an 8 hour work day, depending on how early you clocked in at work.
If the song 9 to 5 is to be believed, Americans have a 9 am to 5 pm work day. Norwegians, however, would be singing 8 to 4, as we have an 8 am to 4 pm work day.
A lot of people wake up around 6 am or 7 am to eat breakfast and get ready for - and drive to - work, so having lunch at around 11 am is a pretty normal thing.
Most of us dont have a cabin in the familiy. That is a cool privlige though
My day today (in regards to meals)
Skipped breakfast
Ate lunch at 1200 omelette
Ate dinner at 1700 lapskaus (light stew)
Ate "evening meal" just now 1950 which was oats and sour yoghurt with banana and strawberry.
Usually I have my dinner a little bit earlier. But except for that it was a fairly common day for me.
(Work is 7 to 3 on a normal day, so still 8 hours).
Er du ikke organisert siden du jobber 8 timers dag? Hvis du er fagorgniser er vel de fleste overenskomster arbeidstiden 7,5 timer pr.dag eller 37 timer pr. uke.
There’s a BIG difference if you living in a city or out in the more countryside-ish.
You should check out more of the north part of Norway. The places you are doomed if you don’t have a car and when the schoolbus pick up kids in the morning(those who are left here….in the rural areas) and bring them back in the afternoon. That’s the only public transport there is.
Eggs’n bacon are normally a "sunday-breakfast" here in my area.
A normal salery or paycheck is perhaps a bit lower than u say in one of your videos. I will say that a "normal" income is around 25000kr witch is $2300. To rent a normal size flat 70-80kv/m is roughly $650-800 plus power and internet/cable tv. This is more in a suburb area for like a small town. One week food for one i will say on average bout $45 to $70. Power in the north is dirt cheep. On average a normal size house with two floors is 1200-1500kr ($110-$150). Tax is around 35-38% of income. It’s a system depending on how much you earn how much your tax is calculated for.
Please feel free to get in touch with me if u wanna know more from the north of Norway.👍
We do have universities in other cities as well. He said most people studying in the big cities. He made it simple.
We like our coffee - black as midnight on a moonless night - !
09:40 and 11:26 "Kveldsmat/Kvelds mat" in English would be "Supper," according to the "2. A light meal before going to bed." dictionary definition.
The working day starts for craftsmen and many others at 07.00, those who work in an office usually work from 08.00 to 16.00. Those who start the day at 07.00 finish at 15.00, i.e. an 8-hour working day. But if you work in a shop, you can start at several times of the day, the same of course applies to those who work in the fire service and police, or in hospitals! My breakfast can consist of two slices of bread, one with hard-boiled egg with caviar on it, and one with cheese and ham. Always milk for breakfast, I take the coffee with me in the car!
Normal workdays are 0700-1600 monday-thursday and a short friday. Or 0800-1600 monday-friday. 37,5 hours is a normal job week.😁
We work 7,5h (37,5h per week), but we start earlier ;) 07-15 or 08-16. Not doing the 09-17 like the US
Kveldsmat is a meal after dinner, about 3 hours later, since we eat erly dinner.
i want to say that most people that live outside of city areas that want to study high school for specific studies or general studies have to move for themselves at age 15-16. at least for where i live in northern norway thats pretty normal. i've been independent since 15yrs old. love your videos btw :)
Pretty normal to have 2 cars in a family aswell, one for mama and one for dad, often one of the cars is a "firmabil" car owned by the firm they work at :)
We do eat a lot of bread absolutely, and most of it is very healthy, though we have a lot of variety as well. I'm not a bread fan myself. I'm more a crisp bread person.
I'd say the most typical foods to eat are these;
Breakfast: cereal, yogurt with fruits and or muesli, porridge, bread, crisp bread, eggs and bacon, toast.
Lunch: The same as breakfast, but also salads, sandwiches/baguettes, buns and pastries, leftovers from yesterdays dinner.
Dinner: The only meal where we don't eat all of the above... unless.
Evening meal: All the above.
And then there are all sorts of snacks, both healthy and unhealthy throughout the day :)
We often eat Porridge with milk for breakfast. Larger Companies often have a Restaurant or Kantine as we call it where the workers can buy cheap lunch. The Public Transport is very good around Oslo and many workers use it. Orange Juice is also popular here. My youngest son is an educated Carpenter and make good money. My other son is a Computer designer, educated in England. We often drink our Coffee Black. but there are many Coffee Shops in the Citys that have popped up lately. Starbucks is not for me, to sweet and messy.
10-15 cups of coffee is wild. I drink like 2-4 at max.
It's a youth thing for some of us
Black coffee is the only coffee! I think the average consumption is about 4 cups a day with people like me contribute to that number (I drink minimum 7 cups, often more)
I travel all over Norway by car for work (I call it paid Norwegian vacation because I get to see the incredible nature and getting paid while doing it) and all the gas stations has different coffee deals where you pay 20-40$ a year and can drink as much hot drinks as you want throughout the year to make working life easier on the road (lack of office space etc). So if you're a heavy coffee drinker like me, coffee is very cheap in Norway 😉
Hi Tyler; I would like to recommend you a special video of a special woman. In it, she impressively describes her life in the Swedish winter. Her name is Jonna Jinton and this wonderful video is titled 'My days in the coldest time - Winter in Sweden'. You're going to love it and Jonna, as almost 5 million followers already do.
😍👏👍👍👍👍
Yes, watch that!
Yeah... Tyler, you should really look up Jonna Jinton. Her blog & videos from our neigbour Sweeden is amazing. And Jonna herself are amazing❤️
He will never see your comment ... 😢
@@mareiketje4899 Then, unfortunately, I can't help him either. The main thing is that we know what Jonna has to offer.
Not ALL Norwegian etats bread many times a day. Most companies have a cantina with all sorts of food hot and cold. Don’t forget we start our day at 06 in the morning so lunch is between 11 and 12. In the evening we have a light meal not always bread. And the bread is dark not white,that’s for toast. If u think bread is doll u are wrong, it’s an open sandwich with , ham, turkey,cheese tomato cucumber and butter. Look up a Norwegian buffet and u will see what we can eat if we want or not.😀
Norwegians mostly work 7,5 hours a day, but we start early, 7 or 7.30. Finishes 3 or 3.30.
Dinner at around 5. and bread around 9 then go to bed 11-11.30
Exactly. The normal working day is 7,5 hours. The lunch comes in addition, and that's probably why so many people say the work eight hours a day. If you have to be available during lunch, it is counted in your working hours, and you work 7,5 hours.
And as you point out - the reason why Norwegians can go home early is because the working day starts early. Probably so people in winter time can get home before it gets dark - except from mid winter, when the hours of day light is so short that it is dark after work anyway.
@@ahkkariq7406 yes mid winter in the south its light from 9 to 4/5
Cabin is normal at sea , mountain or somewhere else in the forest
Picture Norwegian work hours to be from 8-16, we do work 8 hours a day normally.
Some places start 10 like a mall opens 10, so those who work in there will start work 10.
i sometimes put milk or honey in my coffee. But usually i just drink it black. i drink between 0 and 20 cups of coffee a day depending. usually it's around some 6-8 cups. I typically eat 1-3 times a day and just skip food the first half of the day. work have some rules making the workplace pay you overtime if they keep you over 7.5 hours at work, they don't want to pay 50-100% extra in overtime. Also you got the right to refuse and the workplace can be punished for retaliating, of course that doesn't always stop the retaliation. The bread isn't like american bread, in fact we call american bread a loaf and is defined more like a desert kind of thing. bread here have a lot more texture and chewing resistance, even the cheaper bread tastes better than white bread.
Everyone I know drink black coffee with milk. Applejuice is very common for breakfast.
WHAT!? dinner is last meal in America!? no shot!
One thing You should do is; Provide a link to the video you're reacting to, yes?
I know it's easy to find anyway, but it's still needed for many and not the least; a respect to the creator of the commented work.
Norwegian bread is helthy and give you iron, vitamins snd fiber. With meat or protin its a good lunch.
University is free - but if you have to move and live on your own in another city, you usually take out a loan from the State. You get a grant 2 times a year to buy materials - about $4000. It's a "gift". The student loan you get has no interest until you finish your studies in 3-5 years. If you complete the study, approx. 30-60% of the loan will be converted into a scholarship and you can start repayment when you start working. Then you pay 40-70% of what you have borrowed with a very low interest rate.
University, in general, is tax paid. Not free.
@@FissumTravel-fq6pn Of course - we are certainly not stupid. But in the USA they have the world's least efficient schools with the highest operating costs and administration - than any other country. The same applies to hospitals - nobody has such administrative costs when we pay through taxes. The truth is that we get back 84% of everything we pay through taxes and fees throughout our lives - In the US they only get back 19%. Because you have a dysfunctional society where most things are ancient and not suitable in 2023. Look at the infrastructure. Nobody in Europe has such poor infrastructure and you pay Taxes too.
@@lpdude2005 XD That is a lot of words for tax paid university,.
@@FissumTravel-fq6pn Yes, when someone allows themselves to comment that a service is paid for with taxes and therefore stigmatizes a whole people into thinking they are idiots - then it can be in its place. Such comments are simply idiotic.
-----
- Funny how the consensus about the typical '9-to-5'-model workday among the people is the main topic here, but nobody mentions a word about shift-based work schedules.
Which, by the way, can last anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, and up to 16 hours at max under normal circumstances if you count overtime.
-----
in Norway almost every profession work 8hr workdays with 30min break.
Psh, you get caffeine tolerance. And addiction xD. When I was in the military, I drank obscene amounts of coffee.
Most Norwegians start working 7 or 8 in the moning. We work 8 hours a day and 30 minutes is lunchtime. Our bread is actually very healthy. Some swedish people even comes over the boarder to buy bread.
I have a son who is 23 years old. He finished college, got a great job, bought a home, bought a car and moved out when he was 20 years. Yeah i am SO proud.
Chocking news: I have not drunk a single cup of coffee in my life😂 Didn’t get the taste of it. I have never heard of a Norwegian drinking 10 cups a day. Sounds a little much
We do we just start work much earlier in the morning 😅
And now days people use ally buy lunsj it has kinda washed out with the thing of bringing ur own lunch. And yes we do like lattes and syrups 😂
We start work at 07 or 08
We move out from our home towns at 16.
Norway builds it's cities around nature,instead of nature around cities.
I would say it's quite normal to move out at 15-16.
Our bread is nothing like uk or us bread! Its full of grane, vitamins and very healthy.
This guy is from eastern norway so some of his "normal" is not for the whole norway...for me to have a cabin in Sweeden will take about 10- 12 hours non stop drive.
He is from northern Norway, not eastern Norway.
In Norway they do not have sugar in the bread
We scandinavians have our coffee like we have daylight at 5pm during winter
95% of my coffee is black, but I have to admit I do buy myself a kid coffee from time to time. But without sugar, when its sweet it tastes like diabetes.
Tyler: U need to try egg on bread with mayonnaise on top
We usual end work at 1500 or 1600 because we WORK while at work. Our job us to work not surf on internet or talk to cooworkers...
there is only one coffee, black. The rest are coffee products, and starbucks is a milkshake, not a coffee.
Wait never had eggs on bread? i didnt know there were many other ways to eat it. -Norwegian
Caviar + Egg = good "brødskive" 😊
"Dinner is the last meal of the day" sounds illegal.. Haha
I eat bread only 3-4 days a month. My stomach is not a fan.
I've never been to the US, but it seems like you have sugar in everything!
Fun fact: university is in many cases better than free!
There are two conditions you need to fufill for the state (or Lånekassen) to straight up remove 40% of your debt;
1. Live away from home (aka not in your parents home) and
2. Finish your studies (or at least all subjects you have signed up for).
This basically means that you get paid to go to school in theory, but then again rent is expensive🙃
The school itself is free, but you need the loan to pay for cost of living + books etc. But there's no fee to the public schools. Private schools are another matter.
@@joneiriks5323 Schools, in general, are tax paid. Not free.
i work from 7 - 3
I eat dinner at 4
the average work day is 7-8 hours more is kinda look down on by the government
I work from 07:45 to 15:15🤷♂️
I can confirm that most Norwegians drink a lot of coffee. Today I had 5 cups of black coffee before 13:00pm 🤷🏼
Wait a minute, you say americans are treated as adults from the age of 18, but why then is the legal drinking age 21?
Does not compute.
If the legal drinking age is 21. then you are treated as an adult from the age of 21.
We love coffee because we have done our taskes at noone (12). So we drink coffee to hide our speartime...we are done! And cant go home...
2 cups is what i drink before going to work.
😂 you get to used to it
Coffee ❤
Me being an Norwegian Person:👁️👄👁️……..Yes….
Edit 1:
