The vikings in Gudvangen are working at a "living museum", doing reenactment. (one of the dudes in there is my brother in law). However, not all tourists understand this. One time, an (american) visitor asked "do they treat you well here at the reservation?"
Hahaha, that's hilarious 😂
Gudvangen Vikingmarket is SO awesome 👍 was there 2016,17 and 18.
The first timeI was there, I had a spiritual experience by myself. At like 4am, as the sun rose over the edge of the fjord and made the top of the opposite side shine like it was gold.
And I thought to myself : My God! this is like beeing on another planet... and I havent even seen my own contry for real until now.
The silverlining was Einar Selviks solo-consert in 2018 (awsome is such an overused word..)
The first impression is a lasting one!
😂😂😂😂😂 så jäkla bra 😂🇸🇪
I got asked about where I got my meat...the American asking got shocked when I told her "at Joker, right outside the main gate..." as if I were refused to go outside the gate...😂. Most asked question is "What's the thing about the turf roofs...?"
Tyler really should take a trip to norway, would be cool to see his reaction through a vlog like video or something :)
Yep, I've tried inviting him through comments here several times since he haven't posted an email adress anywhere. I'm sure I could make it happen for him. 🙂 He doesn't reply though, so... his loss :-P haha..
Have proposed several times that we put together some money to get him, and his brother, over to Norway. I think they need to be here for 2-3 weeks.
I guess many of us can contribut in different part of the country.
Would have been fun.
@@GisleLSaltvig Definitely! I can provice accommodation and sightseeings in and around Oslo at least, as well as solid, home cooked meals! 🙂
@@GisleLSaltvig Damn, sounds like fun, i am defently down for that.
@@AndreBendigtsen yeah... that's the problem haha
" Its not the fart that kills, its the smell"
-Norwegian Rally driver Petter Solberg
Fart=speed smell=bang (crash)
"cheapest meal we could find" .. shows first class sea food from an expensive restaurant... lol
"Its not the fart that kills, its the smell" (smell is Norwegian for car crash in this case)
Petter Solberg, the rally star, said that on tv about 20 years ago
to add to this, norwegian to english: fart = speed, smell = crash. so when norwegian world champion rally driver Petter Solberg, who's not a champion in english, was going to make a comment. he ment to say "its not the speed that kills, its the crash" what came out was "its not the fart that kills, its the smell"
(just to make things a bit more easier, for random pugs trying to make sense of this xD )
there's always hope in a hanging snore.
Reindeer sausage is a specialty sausage, you can find it if you look for it, but a “standard” hot dog is going to be pork.
Pork And cattle (storfe)
@@hwplugburz True👍 I don’t know why so many think it’s only pork??🤔
The "baby thing" is common in all of Scandinavia.
Greetings from Denmark. 🇩🇰
I understand why no one has heard of it in the US. The risk of the child being kidnapped is too high and it is even illegal over there.
I have said this many times before...I have worked in several different prisons in Norway, as a teacher. The two prisons they usually show to foreigners are Halden and Bastøy. These are NOT the average prisons in Norway! :)
Afterski is basically just drinking after going on a ski trip. It can be anything from having an Irish coffee with your friends at the hytte, to going to a big party with friends and strangers like in the video.
He's not bright. How many times must he be told that Alaska exists; it is a U.S. state; reindeer are there in abundance & Alaskans eat reindeer hot dogs, sausages...? "Downtown" Bergen? What is that, 12 people? There are more people just in the SF Bay Area (mentioned by Ms. TikTok) than in all of Norway.
@@SilvanaDil Pot calling the kettle black= you. Stop being so obsessive and weird. You obviously have some kind of problem or struggles in your life that makes you act like a 12 year old; but you shouldn't project your own inadequateness onto others.
$25 is actually a pretty cheap restaurant meal (dinner) in Norway. And is usually light on meat/fish (as in pasta, soup, etc). A 200-gram (7 oz) steak/fish with potato, veggies, and gravy is usually from $35-45. By weight, pizza is one of the cheapest you can buy; $30-45 for one large enough for 3 adults. Hot lunch is $15-25.
$25 is not the cheapest you can find lol. You can get a meal for $10, nothing fancy but it’s possible.
It’s not a full meal tho
@@user-ni6jk9hx1t We can agree that food at most tourist attractions is more expensive than the overall prices.
@@larsyvindgrindrud8341 Maybe in Oslo. But here in Haugesund, you get waaaay more for less.
Bermuda, Switzerland, and Iceland are considered more expensive than Norway.
A Norwegian drifter once said:
It’s not the fart that kills you, it’s the smell.
(It’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the bang)
Was looking for this comment :D
There are certainly more expensive countries than Norway:
Japan, Australia, Luxembourg, Singapore, Israel, Switzerland and New Zealand are all more expensive than us. Probably a few others as well.
It depends on the time and exchange rate.
Right now we've dropped a lot, but some years ago we where more expensive then pretty much that whole list.
Switzerland and Luxembourg was more expensive.
And Tokyo was more expensive then Oslo.
But we where more expensive on average then Japan etc...
But exchange rates being what they are the Swedes are shopping cheap food here now...
Raindeere sausages is not really a common thing, that is more like a special sort. Most sausages sold in Norway is from pork and beef.
A "skolebrød" is a sweet bun lightly flavoured with cardamom, with a vanilla custard center and icing covered in grated coconut. It's very tasty.
We have a Norwegian rally driver who's known to have said "It's not the fart that kills you, it's the smell" - He is not too good in English :D
I have been meaning to suggest a video for a while but forgot to do it called "Rich&Equal" by Harald Eia, its from a Norwegian tv show where in that episode he talks about how the economy in norway works and how normal people earn alot more money than other countries. really good video with english subtitles. very educational :D
It's a good one!
05:15 alot of people don't know where to find the cheaper foods so they might get the idea that that is the cheapes stuff there when that isn't the case, there is alot of places that is expensive but also places that isn't that expensive.
Atleast where i live i can find that
Norway is probably expensive, but we do have turist traps that up its prices. Like if you go to flåm railroad, bring own food, all stores there are really expensive.
You need to look up the Norwegian Penguin Walk, you’ll see what he means 😂
$25 is common to pay for a meal at a cafè or a cheap restaurant, at better restaurants it's going to be a lot more expensive. But remember that for us living here it's not that expensive, if you come here as a tourist form a country with lower wage or lower currency though, it can become very expensive to visit.
Yes - "Fart" do indeed mean speed.
But consider that you have the same word in English usage - "Fare" and "Forth"
Same root and same meaning - "to travel", "to go", "forward", etc.
Our family would eat reindeer steaks/tenderloin at Christmas, sometimes Elk, it's not always reserved for Ribbe or pinnekjøtt, but it is definitely the most common.
You can eat whatever you like on christmas eve! But its very tasty with the porkribs or lambribs😊
There is an organisation, the Turistforeningen, that you cab join, which allows you to stay in their cottages for free. You’ll typically walk from cabin to cabin in the mountains.
Christmas food:
Pinnekjøtt(salted lamb) and ribbs, we also have a third option that isnt as popular in my part of norway: lutefisk
4:30 should’ve aimed for the grass.
5:22 at a stand, a waffle is the equivalent to 2 us dollars.
6:06 most hotels in Norway has breakfast, lunch and dinner.
10:19 some can also go to a cabin in the woods once a month with their family and go to the grocery store.
12:24 it translates to schoolbread.
20:26 some families also eat frozen pizza ‘grandiosa’.
20:37 pinnekjøtt is lamb
20 dollars is like a large big mac menu at mc donalds
"Its not the fart that kills its the smell.." XD Said by Petter solberg (rally car driver. ) (norwegian) Meaning its not the speed that kills its the crash.
Being homeless in Norway is a basically a choice! If you don't have a house, and actually apply for support for one, you will provided support for one.
"Did they live like vikings all the time"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lengste perioden jeg har bodd og drevet med historisk formidling i Njardarheimr (Vikingbyen i Gudvangen) er 6 mnd...men har bodd i byen der både sommer og vinter.
And here's a translation of what you didn't understand:" And to you Norwegians: I love you. And I'm a Norwegian so I love me 😁"
Personally, I skip the skiing and go straight to the party. But I'm Swedish and I don't bother with that much just to party. Love Norway.
There are no involuntary homeless ppl in Norway. There are people who choose not to use the social homes offered for whatever reasons, for example heavy drug addicts etc.
Afterski can start around 3pm (afternoon) and it runs until midnight or so. People get completely shitfaced and then they get up in the morning and ski until it's afterski time again. :D
I recently had some visitors staying with me from the L.A. area, and they felt the pricing in Oslo was comparable to their own cost of living.
As for the Christmas dinner options, its more the norm than a must. Pinnekjøtt (tr. Stickmeat) is brined mutton on the bone, while Ribbe (tr. ribs) is pork belly where gettin a good crackling on the skin is the measure of success.
But other families have their own traditions like leg of lamb or turkey
«Brined mutton on the bone” also called salted lamb ribs. It’s not mutton and it’s not brined. Mutton is sau and brine is a water solution. The lamb ribs are simply just laid on top of salt and covered with salt. No water involved.
@@peacefulminimalist2028 there’s also dry brining, though I could have been more specific I suppose.
Not a fan myself, but whenever I’ve had it, it’s been mutton, not lamb.
Your experience may vary.
@@Saraqual I’m from Bergen. Never even heard about mutton being used , maybe it’s why you’re not a fan :)
@@peacefulminimalist2028
De hadde pinnekjøtt av sau på Børs kafé før det ble nedlagt, smakte helt forferdelig syntes ihvertfall jeg og samboeren min😊
Pinnekjøtt av lam er helt klart best🤩
Pinnekjøtt og svineribbe er helt klart favoritter, men det er mange som også spiser skinkestek, reinsdyrstek, torsk, vegetarmat osv😊
If you visit a nixe resturant in Norway the price often comes out too 80-120$ or 800-1200NK. Simple meals at cafes, vendors, or street kitchen are indeed 25$. Its a very expensive country but its worth it for all or priviliges.
it's not the fart that kills you, it's the smell -Petter Solberg. rallycar driver. Fart = speed. Smell = the impact when you crash.
25 USD is like 1 and a half Big Mac's here in Norway. And ordering a meal at any restaurant is deffo gonna be more then 25 USD just for one course, not including drink or anything.
After ski is adopted from the French word aprés ski and is not an old Norwegian costume at all. It means that you, after a day of skiing, can take off your skiboots and put on some comfy boots and relax.....with a drink. A practice common in Franc, Switzerland and Austria, where the drinks are a lot cheaper. 😀That you only eat "pinnekjøtt" or pork rib on Christmas eve, is not true. It depends where you are coming from in Norway. Where I come from, we eat fresh cod Christmas eve and sometimes pork rib or turkey on Christmas day.
What? After Ski is like going straight from the slopes into a place where we party, with ski boots on, and quite often there will be heavy duty floors and tables to account for people dancing with slalom boots on their feets... These places are quite often in the slopes, or in the immediate vicinity.
Driveway = Uppfart, Drive-Exit = Avfart
Ater Ski is normal all over Europe, also in the Nordic countries. Yes you party all night after a long day of skiing. This takes place every night. I remember in the -70s when every young people were buying after ski winter boots just to feel special.
I mean, its not cheap, but its a little bit of a myth that it is the most expensive. Especially now that you get a great exchange rate for your dollars. Can get hotel rooms in Oslo for about 120 dollars a night, and food varies in price of course.. at a restaurant 25 dollars sure. Can find cheaper alternatives easy.
Around 600.000 in norway owns cabins, that pretty much 10% so there are many many familys with cabins
It’s actually more than 10%, because most of these people have kids.
It’s actually about 22%👍
@@lillm6874 where did you get that number? A little over 10% owns cabins, most are in familys so. I guess well over half the people of Norway has axcess to a cabin from their family or relatives.
Don't miss the After Ski... And cabins you find on Rbnb
for the “most expensive country”: that is just from people who dont know norway and go to all the touristy fancy restaurants… i just picked up a big gyros for 13 dollars and i used “pant”, sp basically free! the price varies from place to place. plan ahead and spend your money smart then it’ll be okay!
You can rent cabins, and there lots of cabins open for anyone, as cabin life is such an important part of our culture.
If you go to a cheapish restaurant in Norway, dinner items rarely go below $20, and are most often between 25$ and 45$. Then nonalcoholic drinks (soda, mineral water) range from 4-7$ depending on size, and alcoholic drinks start at 10-12$. You can get cheaper food at fast food joints and certain specialty restaurants, but any restaurant you wouldn't go to in sweatpants is going to cost more.
the christmas dishes is Pinnekjøtt, Ribbe, Lutefish
Been to Gudvangen to experience the Vikings, and it was great. BUT even more amazing was something right across the street where you’ll find a guided tour (by a viking in our case) through some caves lit up by beautiful, colorful lights while you hear Grieg music. The tour ends when you reach some underground waterpools where you can light a candle and send it out on the water. The whole thing was magical. And Flåmsbanen mentioned earlier in the video is just a few min. car ride away.
The baby often sleep better,and longer outside.
I know at one time there were no drive throughs because my cousin Steinar came to visit from Norway and one day we stopped at the KFC drive through and he was just amazed. But I think that may have been back in the 80s.
I'm Norwegian and I've never heard of reindeer sausage before. That is not a thing among Norwegians - just a tourist gimmick
Americans: 25 US dollars? That’s expensive!
Norwegians: no that is cheap compared to other restaurants
Skolebrød (literally: school bread) is a pastry, yes. It's very delicious!
Apres ski is more a French thing i would say. Did it in the 80s a lot.
"It's not the fart that kills, it's the smell" (fart = speed, smell = bang)
Meanwhile summer is coming and my neighbor is leaving his door open 24/7. Like open open
One can easily find normal dinner at a Cafe (basic dinners like fish, simple meat dishes aso) A big McDonald's is about 10 Us
Yes fart = speed. An even better one is that our speed bumps are called fartsdumper
Or farts humper. 🙈😂
In Norway you can buy a piece of cucumber. Thats how expensive things are.
The most expensive country, if you don't try even a little bit, to buy cheaper things.
And if you only stay in Oslo.
There are a lot of cheaper things to buy, and do, if you use a little energy to find them.
You do not have to buy the most expensive things.
And you don't have to go to the fanciest restaurants.
The cheaper restaurants serve very good food, and the food regulations are very strict in Norway.
You are almost 100% safe everywhere you eat.
25 USD for a meal would be pretty "luxuriours". A 160g burger from a gas station would only cost you about 14-16 USD. It's probably a little bit more than expected but 25 USD for any meal is not true. There are cheaper options :P
one weird thing i do.
when i get home i lock my door... when i go out i leav it open😅
Most skii places has cabins for rent and there’s always Airbnb if you’re a tourist. Most people own their own through being passed down… Also there’s a big difference between a modern cabin which is basically more like a regular house or the traditional with a outhouse, some doesn’t have running water either. The size of the cabin plays a huge role as well as everyday commodities. If a TV, modern kitchen, internet, and a full sized bathroom, it’s quite fancy. I grew up with the traditional one. Fine in summer, not so much fun during winter. Especially not if nr. 2, sitting down on a freezing wooden toilet seat. And brush your teeth outside in -25 - to -30. Then we renovated it when I was older, put in a kitchen and bathroom, so yes running water lol. We don’t even have a dishwasher, but a micro and a mini oven for pizzas, baking etc. full size fridge, and a travel TV🤣🤣🤣 No internet tho. Most people are at the cabin to relax, be out in nature and do things you wouldn’t do at home, like sit inside and watch TV. Unless it’s Easter…
Ive never tried reindeer, think it’s one small shop in Bergen selling it to tourists , never heard of it on the east coast where I’m from.
11:48 yes it does!!! lol yes 100% fart does mean speed in norwegian.
There is more than two dishes to choose from on christmas eve. But there is two that is most common
So the thing about Christmas is not correct. What you eat depends on where you are from in Norway and your family tradition. For example, where I am from which is the south east and more inland (not by the coast) it is more common to have Ribbe and/or Pinnekjøtt but it is not the only thing we have of meat. We have different sausages as well and Medisterkake (wich is a meatcake that has cleaner meat and a different spice in them than regular meatcakes/meatballs), that is on the side of the main meat. Some parts of the country it is common to have fish (more common in the coastal regions) , and some families might even have turkey (but that is very much a family tradition rather than a tradition of my country).
13:48 take the Flåm zipline and Moskussafari in Oppdal
street food is like 15-20 dollars unless you just buy one hotdog.
25 dollars is a large McDonalds meny in Norway🥳
The person looking in from the outside, will spot more things on the inside, than the insider is readily aware of!
But on the other hand the outsider will misunderstand a lot.
You should make more of thees videos. 😃
I think after ski is more common among young people in south Norway
20:11 so in christ eve, they chose somthing caled: (translating from norwegian to english) lamb stickmeat and lamb ribs.
5:39 A dinner in norway cost about ten us dollars Or about 100kr
If you come to Norway Tyler, I could introduce you to the viking community in that Village as it is my 2nd home (I do Living History/periodical reenactment)
I have never eaten reindeer, and I would never eat reindeer cause I am a fussy eater and do not like Venison. It really depends on what part of the country you are in when it comes to how common and how easy it is to get reindeer meat. Some parts of the country it would not be easy to get, the part I am from (The south-east, closer to Oslo) it is not easy to get reindeer meat. For sure very easy to get in the north of Norway and some parts in the south west. In my part of the country deer meat and moose meat is easier to get, specially moose as they have a huge hunt season for moose and believe me a lot of people hunt.
Bro I am a Norwegian and I get angry when he says he doesn’t now what a after ski is!😩
While Norway is certainly expencive, it is not an all encompassing thing. Some things are relatively cheap here, and others like alcohol, cars, tobacco are in the most expensive in the world category. Due to the current inexplicable plunge of the NOK (Norwegian Krone) compared to most other currencies, visiting Norway now is the best time for decades. For those wanting high end luxury items, like a Rolex f.ex, Norway is currently one of if not the most affordable location in the world to pick one up.
The xmas thing: No, there's plenty more options depending the region's traditions, or your family's traditions, which is normally dependent where your family is originally from. The 2 he mentioned are just the 2 most common.
The 'vikings' do not live like that, it is re-enacted, usually for tourist/educational purposes. They will normally be paid or some places people with this as a hobby/special interest participate.
Nope, at x-mas we ea what we want but it's a tradition to eat pork(ribs) og meat from sheep, turkey and fish are also common in certain parts.
I just paid $7 for 13oz of precooked microwave mac'n'cheese... Norway is ridiculous.
About being the most expensive country in the world. I can't corroborate that, but I will say that the krone is currently at a record low. This is bad news for us when we want to travel abroad or just buy imported goods, but should be good news for tourists coming to visit.
Raindeer hotdogs is not a comon thing in Norway btw!
Afterskiing is all over Europe, not particularly Norwegien. More so, Austrien and Italien originating.
Never etean, seen or heard of raindeer sausage before this video - and Im a Norwegian that eats my fair share of sausages! Though, the rest of Norway considers Bergen to be a foreign country! :P So might be a Bergen thing! Although raindeers are mostly from the north - just like me, so makes me wonder...
Yeah it's a bergen thing, she mentioned the name of the specific place to buy it. They have a lot of different types of sausages from different types of meat. People say they're really good, I don't eat meat so I've never tried them myself but I've followed along friends to get some and they said they were good.
a long time ago in Norway there was 2 kind of wandering people like gypsys in norway 1 was called Tater and they romed the contryside. the 2nd was called Fant and they sailed upp and down the coast in tiny boats and they cause a lot of theft and fighting. So at one point the goverment made a law that you can not stay in norway without a place to live meaning it is illigal to be homeless. and this law is still in effect so you dont see many homless here. if u cant afford the goverment will rent a small apartment for u.. you can come here camping but only a certan amnout of time
1. It is true that our youngest are not that good at using condom, BUT this is a European tren and not a Norwegian trend. 2. No, raindeer hot dogs are not very common. 3. Some of the prissons are quite nice BUT few commit new crimes when getting out, compared to other countries. The punishment is the isolation from society, but one get prepared for a better life when getting out. 4. We do have beggers but most are from romania. 5. Yes, you can live cheaply in Norway, but it takes a little research from our visitors. :)
cheeseburger at McDonalds cost about 3$ Another thing is PLAN your trip carefully its actually a great distance from Oslo to the western side of Norway with the fjords and to the North part with the northern lights etc. these short clips and youtube films make it seem short distance traveling.
Most "homeless" people in Norway actually have a flat provided by the govt. but for different reasons choose not to stay there.
Cost of living in norway is so cheap these days actually, we're only the 6th most expensive country in the world!
Afterski=party 2:16
25 usd is a quite cheap meal.. haha .
Strollers outside, is more of a scandinavian thing. Was a bit shocked when i heard a bunch of years ago that it's not common in the rest of the world.
Norway is expensive, but compared to earnings, it's not that bad, other countries are more expensive when compared like that.
He's also wrong about the christmas food. Yes, most eat either "pinnekjøtt" or "Ribbe" (Sheeps legs or ribs of pig).. But in the North they eat fish. You also have alot of younger people that even eat frozen pizza on christmas eve 🤦♂
200 000 norwegians eat pizza grandiosa on christmas eve. I am sure some of them with brown cheese on top..
Therese moore than 2 Christmas dinners....
JAILS NORWEIG/SWEDEN/DENMARK/FINLAND: Treat a person humanely (as if he were human) and treat him with REQUIREMENTS as well as POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS about his abilities... educate and build trust in "power", all our common demands and laws, the chances are high that he will trust both himself and humanity. The goal is for the prisoner to become a free and functioning citizen. BUT! It only works in humane countries with a humane outlook and well-trained prison staff.
Some baby get cold and there body's go blue fast I know this as I was told by a nurse when I had my daughter
Idk 25$ sounds normal enough for a norwegian restaurant, the take-away biff szechuan meal I am eating right now was around 15 USD (without anything to drink). I have seen worse prices too.
however yeah, they definitively didn´t *need* to choose those meals.
