Hi I plan to move to Norway and your videos are HUUGE inspiration for me. I feel like I am the kind of person who will fit there more than I fit in my motherland and this video showed me that I'm right. Here I feel like I'm kind of outcast, but you ashured me that there is a country of people, where my "weirdness" is normal. I'm so happy that I feel like crying. Thank you so much, movin to another country for the first time is a huge of a deal and you make it easier for me.
Snus: Only wusses use the bags. To get the full effect (effectively nicotine poisoning if you're new to it), you use loose snus, and pack 5+ bags worth very loosely (or not at all), before putting it in your mouth, using the tongue to place in under your lip. This will instantly dissolve a lot of nicotine in your mouth, which will quickly be absorbed through the mucous membranes, and send beginners running for the toilet to hurl within few minutes. It works even better because the strong taste makes beginners reluctant to swallow (nicotine isn't absorbed through stomach and intestines). It's great fun to watch. It works on smokers, as well, especially if it's strong snus. For seasoned users, it's just how we do it.
Haha the eating thing is so fun. I was backpacking in new Zealand (that is so simular to norway in the nature), and it was like around 8 (pm? Evning) , and we are sitting in the kitchen area, and someone asked me "Are you eating oats for dinner??!" and I just look weird at him and say "hum, no? I eat dinner earlier? this is my evning meal?" haha everyone could not understand the dinner so early, and 4 meals a day.
Dont forget the Norwegian obsession with Mexican food, with their taco Friday’s and all the sections in the supermarkets hahah! I did erasmus in norway last year and your videos helped a lot ❤️ Missing oslo!! Beijinhos de Portugal 😊😘
I’m from wales but live in England, we talk about the weather a lot, we like to be cosy or cwtch up welsh for cuddle. I own a Marco master and drink black coffee but like tea too. I wear wool in the winter but not the summer, I own a Norwegian style jumper but we do say hello to are friends on the bus but I drive. I liked in Norwegian lifestyle and everyone is equal. Your videos are great and very inspiring, I studied interior architecture at uni but did not pursue it! Are you near the end of your studies?
Your name isn't Welsh at all. Just being born in Wales doesn't make you Welsh. You're obviously ultimately of Germanic descent with a name like Robertson, and you probably speak only English or it's your native tongue at the very least. You're not really Welsh.
Non of the questions were in the category of typically Norwegian. Most Norwegians don't own a marius-genser. It's a sweater for kids. In fact, most Norwegians don't even own any kind of grainy knitted sweater at all. Most Norwegians are living in cities and don't care the least about nature in the winter. Typical Norwegian is to be shy, easy going, relaxed, opposed to impetuous which is increasingly more common and to a greater degree the longer south you get. Thus for the most important properties and the most distinct part of being Norwegian, you are certainly one of them. If you colored your hair brown, no Norwegian would believe you're anything, but Norwegian. Btw, I don't know what is wrong with your color sight or if it is your camera, but from where I'm sitting your eyes are blue. Norwegian blue. So, there was no coincidence you ended up in Norway. Your natural shyness so easy to appreciate is exactly the type, characteristic for Norwegians in general. I can't believe you don't have some Norwegian genes in your blood, like a lot. You should test yourself. You get a comprehensive one for less than hundred bucks right now. Btw, for they who have been in Norway for more than two years and not thrown out, there is no return so whether you are a Norwegian or not really doesn't matter. There is no going back for you, Mon Amie, but you already knew that, didn't you?
Her hair color isn't exactly unheard of among ethnic Norwegians. Sure, it's a little rarer to be this dark in hair color, but there are people with dark hair in Norway. I've seen ethnic Norwegians who look very like this girl, in fact I was surprised to hear she was Portuguese at first.
Pale Pilgrim I have several Norwegian friends who are %100 Norwegian, born & raised in Canada & are very dark. At our local Scandinavian Culture Centre there’s many Scandinavians are dark & short but do have the ‘typical’ physical features such facial that are considered typical Scandinavian. They have told me that the Vikings brought back slaves from other cultures & they intermarried over the centuries.
Thick woolen sweaters are among the most un-practical garments ever made. I'm Norwegian, and cooton is for indoor use. Wool is for cold-weather sport. And fleece and GoreTex is for allround use.
Norwegians have quite a few things in common with english people based on this list :P potatoes, weather as a conversation starter, being conflict-avoidant and not complaining, Cosiness as something serious, Pretending you don’t know acquaintances on the bus (true in southern England, not so much in northern England).
Hey Mon! I love your channel! It's so informative! I'm from Cyprus and I'm visiting Norway for the first time to spend my Christmas holidays with my uncle's family (they live in Norway for over 40 years) and I was wondering what should I pack. How do people spend their Christmas holidays in Norway? Do they stay inside? Do they go out? Is there something that's a must for me to bring with me? Thank you in advance, Anna💛
Hei Anna! That sounds so exiting!! I will have a video in the begging of December about the typical Norwegian Christmas! 😁 And about what should you bring to Norway, that is actually a great theme for a video too! So stay tune 🥰
I just let you know the mists real quick: warm boots (I advice some with fur inside but that are waterproof and comfy, with rubber soles so you don't slip on the ice ), warm jacket, dress in layers cause outside its cold but inside its very warm. These are the must 😉
I heard it is really difficult to make friends in norway. Im going to study university in norway in 2 years and I’ve been watching a lot of videos and many of them say that foreigners are really lonely , is that true? I think it could be easier to make friend If I go to school , because many of the people that say that they are lonely are only working in norway. Great video
Making friends at school it's easier of course, but I think it also helps if you have some extra activities like a sport, or some kind of course, gym, etc. Some place where you can meet more people 😉 also being involved in the culture, like knowing how to ski
Don't think you'll have any problems with making friends at school. Just know that norwegians often are bad at making plans to hang out outside of school, it's not because they don't want to, it's just that they are afraid to be introsive to your personal life or bother you, so don't be afraid to take the iniciative they'll usually be happy to hang out :)
In the Iberian Peninsula, two major ethnic groups met prior to the Roman or Germanic occupation, mediteranian civilizations in the south, and Celts in the north. The two populations fused over time into what is called Celtiberian. The Spanish and Portuguese genome today is half Mediteranian, half ancient Atlantic Celtic. Your just an example of the Celtic identity of Portugal! Not surprising!
"North of Norway where it is dark all the time" ha ha. Immigrants or people from the south put aluminum foil on their bedroom windows to keep the sun out during the night!
The idea that physical appearance has anything to do with culture or nationality is a foreign concept. I am American. There is no hair or eye colour that is American. Is this really a thing?
Your interrior design is always beautiful. U choose the colors pretty great around each other.
Its like you say, no Norwegian would ever ignore a friend on the buss.

I dont recommend moving to norway
I'm Norwegian and you're more Norwegian than me apparantly. Great video btw.
😅
no lol.
Hello Mon! Tanks for your videos. They help me to learn English at the same time as I am enjoying seeing things about Norway which I love them.
So good to hear! 🙌🏻
Yey!!! So happy to see a sit down video by you!! :D
Norwegians appreciate spending time alone off road. We appreciate the silence and great view wether it's a hight or near the ocean/lake/water.
Takk fr video
Norwegian style of packing lunsj is also one of the typical characteristic.
For example, matpakke is one such thing.

Missing oslo!!
Beijinhos de Portugal 😊😘
haha yes! taco friday! I'm not norwegian in that either xD
You have to come back for a visit! ;)
There is a difference also between the rural and the more urban people in Norway and between the different regions.
geosv100 This is true of all countries!
Great video as always 👌🏼

I am proud as a portuguese to see that out country is well represented in Norway 😉 por favor, continua a publicar, adoro os teus vídeos
Amei como sempre! Se eu tivesse uma filha gostaria que tivesse o seu jeitinho!!! The important thing is to be a nice person!!
I would also feel like a fake norwegian using those sweaters even though I think they look pretty good
Good to know it's not only me hehe 😁

That's so funny! I had no idea 🙂
As someone who lives in the UK I totally agree XD
Mon Amie - Yes ahah me too ☺️, the Internet (esp TH-cam) has shown me how England has quite a fair bit in common with Nordic Europe!
Catarina Quare - ahaha it’s the exact same on all the points I mentioned isn’t it 😂! Where are you originally from, if I may ask?
@@abcxyz-cx4mr I'm from Portugal too, so it's quite a difference to get used to 😂
Amazing! In Costa Rica we drink a lot of coffee too :D! and we produce the best coffee of the wold! 👌
I dont doubt it!!! :)

@@MonAmieDesserts Thank you so much for your helpful advices and I'm looking forward for your next videos! 😊😊
You look very nordic, I was honestly surprised that Portuguese had blue eyes!
I grew up with dinner at 14:10. It was a pain! I could never spend time on a good conversation with friends after school!
I heard it is really difficult to make friends in norway. Im going to study university in norway in 2 years and I’ve been watching a lot of videos and many of them say that foreigners are really lonely , is that true?

renatwin Lets see how it goes😆
@@NONAMEGTAV It will be great ☺️ Where in Norway are you planing to study?
Good Evening Mon :) Fabrice.
Nice video ! Do you want the Norwegian nationality ? (in 1 years (because at 7 years in Norway you can pretend for the nationality ) )
Hi! For now I'm good with my Portuguese nationality )
¡Me encantó el video ja, ja, ja! Sigue así.🔥🇳🇴
¡Saludos desde Honduras!
the snus instead of cigarette's part is actually more of a swedish thing than a norwegian thing

So I will be moving to Norway pretty soon, do the decents speak and understand English. For means of communication. Thanks alot
I dont know, if I understand your question, but Norwegians speak and understand English very well!
Thank you so much.question answered Cheers
Por favor continua portuguesa! 😃
Mon! Do a hair video! I cannot get my curls to behave like yours.
Hahah I just use a curling iron, one of those cilindricals ☺️
we eat dinner at 4/5 hahha and i live in Trondheim
Would you recommend Norway for an English single 24 year old? I’d be worried about making friends obviously not speaking the language!
Mia 28 Norwegians speak english well and understand it even better, but we are shy though, so be patient :)

usa we eat all kinds of foods of melting pot of cultures
The idea that physical appearance has anything to do with culture or nationality is a foreign concept. I am American. There is no hair or eye colour that is American.
Is this really a thing?
nope! but you are very cute.
