- Reaction To LIVING IN NORWAY (what it's really like!)
This is my reaction to LIVING IN NORWAY (what it's really like!)
In this video I react to how it is to live in Norway

The polar bear is in Svalbard only. In the mainland you usually encounter elks and deer.
Polar bears are only on Svaldbard. :D
Seems like she is from a rich family. Designer bags, vacation to granka every year, multiple cabins, taking a gap year and buying a apartment before getting a job. Absolutly not the average Norwegian, but culturaly she is spot on. All the things she speaks about is very Norwegian.
She sounds like upper middle class
She don't say she has multiple cabins - she's saying we in Norway havve cabins all over, in general.
I can’t see or hear anything that makes her upper class. It’s nothing upper class in the cheap panel in the background and she talks about normal stuff.
@@oh515 'left my louis Vuitton bag at the tram, it had expensive jewelry my cash, my phone''
that's a bit upper class wont you say :P
@@oh515I must be dirt poor if she is not upper class 😅
Polar bears are only on Svalbard in norway. Svalbard is and island far north
- Yes, we are quite handy and prefer to do most stuff ourselves. But some things like plumbing, electricity, constructing are mostly left for proffesionals. Mainly because of insurance. And yes, some of the younger generations tend to not be as handy. Unfortunately.
- Regions with fantastic nature: Western Norway. Lots of deep long fjords and steep rugged mountains. All of Nordland and all of Troms & Finnmark.
- During the dark season, It does NOT get dark 24/7 above the arctic circle. We have two-to three hours of daylight. Darks Season, or the colour season as I like to call it, lasts from end of november to end of january. The colors in the sky during this period of time are magic.
- During summer, the temperatures can rise as much as 30-35 celsius degrees. During winter, it's not uncommon that some places have 30 to 40 celsius degrees below zero. places that often get these low temperatures are far from the sea. Preferably towards the border with Sweden, Finland and Russia.
- Yes, we drink ALOT of milk. Norway are number 6 of top 15 countries when we talk about consuming milk. Irland is at number 1. I have traveled to different countries and Norway has the best milk in my opinion.
- Yet another Gen Z telling we are introverts. Well, the younger generations are. Not the older generations.
- Mostly people wo lives close to the border go to Sweden to shop. But with prices these days, much of the things that were cheaper in Sweden, are now almost the same price as in Norway. In the northern part of Norway we often go to Finland to shop. But also there, prices are going trough the roof.
- She's using irony when talking about polar bears in the street. The polar bear is associated with the ice in arctic areas, and is not found on the Norwegian mainland. It is common on sea ice in the Barents Sea between Svalbard and Frans Josef Land. The polar bear's range varies with the extent of the ice throughout the year. Polar bears in Finnmark, which is Norway's northernmost county, are very rare, but can occur in periods with a lot of ice from the arctic areas.
- The weather is unpredictable yes.
Hmm....I'm Norwegian. And soon 52 years old. I think I have called someone once to fix a washing machine. But I grew up with a father that is a carpenter, a grandfather that was a local butcher, an uncle that is a mechanic and I have worked with electronics and computers. You pick up things along the way. :)
She is totally correct about that we the norwegian are more introverted. Just look in the transportion. Train and busses "everyone" wan't too sitt alone.
We are gettings friends normally trough hobby.
I'm not driven too Sweden, but normally you would fill you car once or twice a month for those people who are doing that.
It's not that good right now because the weaker Norwegian currency, but back in older days it was really good deal.
About the polar bear it's not common in mainland, but in Svalbard.
I love living in Norway ❤ Peaceful and beautifull life ❤
I am a Norwegian women in my 60s. I like talking to foreign people, but we are different. I try to do the most myselves, but sometimes i have to called for help. My favoritt places to go are up north and sogn og fjordane. I agree almost all of what she saying.
It is common to have the same friend group for years and years. I feel like a lot of us might seem closed off at first, but we warm up to new people fast. You can make friends through work, school, on a night out, through sports and so on
It is not easy to get norwegian friends, but we are different from each other. I for example like to get new foreign friends and talk to everyone. But for the most part it is true that it is hard to get to know Norwegians. Just need a little patience. Polar bears are just in Svalbard and I think you need a rifle and common sense there if you are hiking.
freakin cold..... dark... depressing ... but great drinking water, nature, and such
There used to be a stuffed polar bear out on the pavement in Tromsø, mainland Northern Norway.
Any live ones are found only on the Svalbard archipelago midway between Northern Norway and the north pole.
I agree with most of what she is saying. Like many have said, there’s no polar bears in mainland Norway, only in Svalbard.
I’m from Oslo, I’ve never had a car, the public transport system is great in Oslo, so I get by. I like to go on vacation in southern Norway. It’s got a maritime feel to it, and the people are so nice there. I travel to Sweden about once a month to stack up coke, redbull, meat and smokes. Love Sweden as a vacation destination too btw.
I love living in Norway. I’m lucky to have been born here. If I ever should move to another country it would be Spain or somewhere else warm, cuz I really, really hate snow, freezing weather and darkness. So the only really negative thing I can say about Norway is the weather. Love your videos by the way!
I myself prefer the four seasons we have here in Eastern Norway, living south-west about 63 miles from Oslo. And we normally get winter (snow) around the middle of November. And it lasts until mid-April. But we also had a snow-free Christmas Eve, and we also had snow until May. But that's what I like, the variations. Where I live, it is bright almost all day in the summer, but in the winter the sun first comes up around 11.00 and sets around 3.00 p.m. But then we have snow in the winter, and it lights things up! Know that some suffer from winter depression, but many of these people just hate snow because they have to shovel it away.
I love the snow, and really miss it as soon as it melts or get rained away. I enjoy walking in the mountains close to ny house, and then ake(I cant think of the English word) back down 😂 My dogs love it as well
I value the trust,peace and silence most of all.
This was a delightful surprise. Seven years ago or so, I found it necessary to block Cornelia. I couldn't stand her and her disconnect from both sanity and reality, but in this video, she has obviously, finally grown up. She is smart and funny. I guess I have to teach myself how to unblock on TH-cam, anybody?
Only place worth living fulltime in Norway is: Oslo and the areas very close to Oslo. Every other place is only worth for a weekend or a week maximum. Climate has a lot to do with it. In Oslo and areas around Oslo you actually have a good summer, and not a lot of rain or wind. That means a lot. Also the most opportunities in terms of everything are in Oslo. The amount of stuff to do and selection is incredible, and we even have nature close by. All in all Oslo wins.
As a Norwegian I can’t say anything else than it’s a normal life. It all depends on what you consider as normal.
With friends we mean close friends here in Norway. If we use the American term most us have plenty of friends.
you make friends easy in norway,being from abroad people will strike up a conversation because they are curious..
Polar bear in the streets ?? No way, only in Svalbard. But they don't walk in the streets, you can see them, but only rarely. And you van met them in the street, but that is very rare.
Well, we are not alike in this land either, so don't think this is for every norwegian and we don't live in " Paradice," but it has been a good country for ordinary pepole like my self.
Yes if your Scottish you will blend in like the rest of the Scottish people who live here ....😁
Upperclass girl that sadly needs to impress the viewer. She is talking from mainland Norway, Oslo, forgetting that Svalbard is an island up north and that is where the polarbears are, not on the mainland.
If you wanna make friends, go to a bar!
