I'm Norwegian and I was surprised to hear about microwaves, don't think I've ever been to a house that don't have it. But if you rent, you usually have to have your own.
Same, I don't know anyone that doesn't have one
I'm Norwegian and neither me nor my parents have ever owned a microwave! But I would say that's rather unusual..
Yeah, I believe most Norwegian families have one. Not so common in student housing and cheap rental apartments though
Same here. Im Norwegian. I have never seen a apartment without microwave. I have seen a lot of houses with microwaves build in - not stand free on kitchentables ( Thats out - I think)
I am Norwegian and I am also surprised by this, most people I know have one
Most people in Norway have microwaves, but if you rent an apartment you bring your own, as they are not provided by the renter in the same way as an oven or fridge is.
Yea u know, microwave is a personal property you know. Like a toothbrush. lol
Actually where i rent we did get a microwave with The place
@@arstan8092 Not in any place I've rented.
@@Luredreier well where i rent is more of a student home, which is probably why
Jesus, the norwegians in the comments won't let that microwave thing go xD
Well, if you pretend to know facts about Norway and say crazy, wrong stuff and ask Norwegians to comment about it in the video, you will get an answer. If you go to Norway to work and rent shitty apartments and your friends also went to Norway to work and also rented cheap, shitty apartments, it might seem like Norwegian homes don't have microwaves. But in reality you have found out that shitty apartements for rent don't have microwaves, you know nothing about how Norwegians live.
Well I understand why because it was so generalized in the video, she should have been more specific :D. Every single Norwegian I know (including students) had a MICROWAVE :D... Even at work we have a microwave in the pause rooms so lol...
What is jesus? he he
I'm never getting a fucking microwave oven again, it ruins the food.
@@reiserdu He's Satans little helper :) Just ask the 40,000 witches slaughtered in his filthy name.
Can we talk about how beautiful she is? Both on the outside and inside.
You must be very drunk...
TheMongolat I couldn’t agree more ❤️
I drowned in her eyes for the first 2 minutes, barely realizing she was speaking ... and turned to putty each time she smiled. Had to rewind and watch the video again. Stunningly beautiful! :)
I’m norwegian and everyone I know got a microwave tho
Karoline Pedersen yeah.. dont know anyone that hasn’t got one..
Same🤷🏼♀️
Same 😛 It’s kinda unusual Not to have a microwave in Norway 🤷♀️
I have to commend you for typing out your comment without reading a single other comment on this video, downright impressive.
I'm Norwegian, me nor my family has ever had a microwave. In my social circle it is not as common, and we kinda have a negative attitude towards it. I think it's not unusual, but less "common" versus other countries - ofc this is my bias.
Hi there! The 2 duvet bed covers are standard in Switzerland. It saves you a lot of trouble when it comes to the nightly subconscious bed cover pull away fight :-)
Also in Germany. And the huge canyon between those, ist called "Besucherritze" (Visitorcrack).
Hello. I'm a Norwegian and I can explain why not everybody has a microwave. It's because most of the norwegians are making their own food,from scratch. It's making the food so much healthier. Because you know all the ingredients. With love from Tone😊
78% of homes have a microwave. Wich is about average in Europe.
LOL. Most norwegians? No. Most Norwegians eat frozen pizza, hot dogs or Fjordlands.
99% of the comments: eVerYBodY iN NorWAy hAvE a micRoWAvE
Well she asked people to comment about it.
@@bloodyfitnerd1947 There's so many top comments, all bombastically asserting that every household has one, and they're all filled with dozens of replies saying "I don't".
@@thenorwegian76 dozens? i see the majority of people saying that they do have a microwave, and some people saying that they don't have a microwave but still believes it's unusual to not have one. And i don't see many people ''bombastically'' asserting that every household has one, just that every person THEY KNOW has one, it's a difference there.
and then there was also some that say they've never seen one or that they thought only poor people had them, but i didn't see more then maybe 3 or 4 people saying that, maybe even less
@@thenorwegian76 a correction on myself after i scrolled further down in the comment section: i see some more people now saying that literally everyone has a microwave, i don't agree with that ofc, but most of the top comments have more people saying its unusual not to have a microwave rather then literally everyone has it. I mostly looked at the top comment on this so didn't notice the rest until i scrolled more
Agree about pretty much everything except the microwave thing. I feel like everyone has microwaves?
Wrong. Only people who can't cook.
@@kongeriket even helkstrøm has it
@@kongeriket i don't think that's exactly true. I mainly use the stove, but I use the microwave to reheat leftovers. That way I don't have to dirty and re-wash wash a frying pan when there's no need for it.
That's be the internet "'everyone" which doesn't mean everyone at all.
I do not own a microwave🤔 i make big enough portions, and prefer not to nuke my food😂
Beds seem to be very different across Europe. In Germany, you nearly always have two duvets - and also two mattresses with a gap between them. Some people have a mattress-long triangular pillow to fill the gap. I think two mattresses and duvets are actually quite practical because you might need different mattresses (some like them harder, some softer) or thicker/lighter duvets.
I always bring 3 different sizes of pants, dresses etc, which is how most Norwegians solve that problem. 💃
Helene Oldeide honestly, this comment wins for her military, grace, and helpfulness. Thank you for your kindness!
In Norway, when you rent an apartment, it usually comes in 3 different catergories: Unfurnished, partly furnished, and fully furnished. In the first case, you usually have to bring your own appliances, like washing machine, dryer, fridge, stove, and furniture. If the apartment is partly furnished, usually it come with some or all appliances, and sometimes some furniture, like a sofa(something like the old sofa of the landlord),and you bring the rest. In fully furnished apartments it comes with all appliances, and furniture, but a microwave is often not seem as necessary, and its a "small" and easy to move appliance, so the landlord will often not provide it. I have lived in many rentet apartments, and usually I have to bring the microwave.
I think the two duvee for a couple part is because if one partner hugs the whole duvee it can quickly be cold.
And to regulate the temperature better. It can be very hot sharing a duvet, because both peoples body heat will warm up the duvet. Im surprised more couples dont sleep with two duvets. To me it seems like a much better option 😅
I've tried that and I'm told i'm like a furnace so it gets to hot.. Also so much easier to not have to fight over the damn thing :P
I'm Norwegian-American. In the States, we use both types of mops. The t-shaped mop that I use has water or cleaning solution (depends on preference) that squirts out from the end of the pole, which makes cleaning very easy.
In Denmark I learned English from fifth grade. That's almost 40 years ago.
Today they even start at first grade in some schools.
Guess it's much similar in Norway.
Growing up in a working-class family in Oslo I started studying English in 6th grade, back in 1963, continuing all the way through the last year of high school 1969/70. The 5th graders started the same year as we 6th graders did. So I guess coming across Norwegians in their late sixties or seventies who speak English more or less fluently isn't that hard.
I've never though of the microwave thing before, my family have used microwave ovens since I was a kid. I think most people below an age of 65 have one in their home, but this is only an assumption by me. Last summer I had to buy my second microwave oven as an adult because my first one died on me. I don't think student homes and rental apartments have microwave ovens as a standard and you must buy your own. That's what I did. The "Norwegian mop" is the best if you use it right. It's supposed to be used lightly moist with no cleaning agent. When It's moist the dirt will stick to the mop. If it's wet it will soak the floor but will also remove less dirt. The remaining dirt will then remain when the floor dries. A cleaning agent should only be used when you encounter some stubborn dirt. Use a spray bottle and spray the dirty area. (my mum is a pro cleaner :))
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
May this New Year be special in every way… bringing you the gift of love and excitement. ❤️
🤗😘Look forward to hearing from you!👼🌸💐😊
"Rents one place - No microwave?"
OMG NOBODY IN NORWAY HAS MICROWAVES!
Just fyi, literally everyone has a microwave..
elevlol Hahaha yea and why not just buy one 😂
Microwave "kill" the nutrients - but most people don't care as long as they get food fast
Maybe, just maybe she is talking about her experience in Norway not yours.
@@lita1071 what do you means "her experience" ? Shes litteraly claiming that households in Norway does not have microwaves. Which is indeed very very wrong. Just look at the comments lol
Every one have a microwave in Norway 😅
I’m Norwegian and I grew up with microwaves and I was surprised about the microwaves.🤔 I know that microwaves is a common thing in a house hold in Norway. If you rent an appartment the microwaves are not always included. You need to purchase it by your self.😃
The microwave not being part of the apartment you rented is simple: it's not part of the apartment. When you move to a new place, you take your micro with you, and thus you have a micro in the kitchen.
This applies to many appliances in the house, but not normally to the heavy kitchen appliances like the cooker, fridge and freezer. These three are usually included in the apartment and rent. And if you buy instead of renting, the same principle applies: the kitchen cooker, fridge and freezer are part of the sale and can affect the price. Sometimes a washing machine and tumble dryer can be part of the deal, but when renting it would have to be pointed out that they are part of the deal.
literally everybody got a microwave here. it doesn't come with the house, but so doesn't you're computer or towels
Even Okstad vi har ikke mikrobølgeovn, det har heller ikke omtrent alle e kjenner
Very nice vídeo Mon ! Interesting! Nice weekend for you too!
Loving your observations, I would say they're mostly spot on! For instance on the street where I live 3/10 households have a tesla (plus another car most likely), and a lot more have other electric cars.
I had no idea that it's so common to share a duvet in other countries, I thought that was something they only did in hotels! My husband and I always ask for an extra when we're traveling and this happens haha.
Also, the only time I've ever experienced a shop assistant the way you are used to was when I was trying on wedding dresses. Otherwise, you're on your own. Most Norwegians, including myself, like it that way. We're very fond of our own personal space! :P
I'm glad to hear I'm not imagining things hahah ♥️
Usually get more help than I want, when shopping for clothes …
I have always had a shop assistant when I buy pants, so I disagree, but maybe it depends on where in Norway and What stores you buy clothes, I always go with my mom so she pays and gets an assistant (I am too shy to Ask myself)
I think the reason they use the flat mops is because most floors are wood, and a flat mop doesn’t leave streaks as much. In Portugal, the other kind of mop would be better with stone or tile floors. I live in Texas, and I have both kinds of floors and both kind of mops for each type of floor. I’m a little OCD though. The flat mop doesn’t clean my tile floors as well, but does great on my wood floors.
So Norway and Brazil have one more thing in common besides the love for coffee - the type of mop used for cleaning the floor.
I'm Portuguese and my dream is one day live in Norway I already love your content 😊❤️
There is little use for microwave in a kitchen, its a giant box that take up space that could have been used for more useful things. Cheers from Norway!
Topless sunbathing was more of a thing in the 70's, 80's and 90', in Norway, but not so much today.
I agree, and I am a Norwegian who has also lived in the US, France and England. The style of swimwear, and whether we go topless, is a trend thing that has little to do with our overall approach to nudity. For a while, being topless at the beach was something I associated with the older generation. And I think sporty swimwear or retro bathing suits are just cooler and more current fashion-wise than skimpy bikinis.
Norwegians have a more old school and minimalist take on the kitchen inventory, and if you already have a stove you dont really need a microwave. However it may be more common within student accomodations :)
I feel like in Norway, a microwave is considered a a temp/mobile utility. In between a stove and a toaster/water boiler, i.e not something you'd expect to come built in with the kitchen. As a Norwegian living abroad I was very surprised to find a microwave came with the apartments I've ranted and bought.
Interesting Mon :) Happy New Year 2020 my friend :) Fab.
I think the smaller the clothing store is and the less customers there are, the better service you're gonna get (unless they're under-staffed). Big chains like h&m, cubus etc sell so much anyway, that helping people in that way isn't a priority I think. But like someone else mentioned, we usually bring a bunch of different sizes no matter what clothing store we're in. 😊
The main reason me and my friends does not have a microwave oven is because we think it is unhealthy, and also it seldom make food any good to eat.
I had it once, and tried it on many things, but in the end i felt that the only thing it was good at, was to warm up coffee that had been cold fast. (yes and it was also ok to make popcorn from)
But since i dont eat popcorn that often and mostly have warm coffee, i just gave it away.
A microwave does not belong in a healthy kitchen. ;)
It's pretty common for microwaves to be something you get for yourself, unless the kitchen has been renovated to include a combination oven (oven + microwave). But you can go to any electronics store and get a microwave.
I’m in the US and have separate bed covers with my partner but it’s not the norm here at all. You sleep soooo much better that way
in terms of the shopping thing, I've worked as a store helper and i can tell you that it stems from a feeling of entitlement.
It is generally seen as a snobby/entitled thing to ask someone to get your clothes or pick up different sizes. Therefore its generally seen as common courtesy to do it yourself.
However, some stores are indeed more accommodating than others.
I had no idea!! Thanks for sharing ☺️
@@MonAmieDesserts I think if you go to a more expensive store and it's pretty quiet it's perfectly fine to ask for a different size, but getting your clothes is a bit odd.
Hi. I'm norwegian, and the reason I've learned is why we normally don't have a microwave is because we're taught by the elder generations from quite early, to use the stove and cook meals and everything from scratch, and therefore we don't "need" it. Of course it is faster and such and so, but its not something we're acustomed to.
people usually own their own microwave since they are small and portable and cheap. if you rent a place its expected that you bring your own there.
Thanks for sharing! The duvet is interesting, I got the opposite experience when I lived in England for a period of time, had to get used to the double duvet! Hehe! :-)
The Norwegian mop system...😆As in Portugal you are used to tiled floors , we in Norway are used to wooden floors...different cleaning system😉
Thanks for the video!! :)
Im norwegian and i can relate to the story about the store assistant, because when i was in Tokyo last year shopping some clothes the assistent was literally taking with him every piece of clothing i was looking at and then escorted me to the booth, then he stayed by my side the whole time i was in the store making sure i tryed everything i looked at! 11/10 when it comes to helping out i must say! it was wierd at first but damn what a helpfull and dedicated man! i really enjoyed it!!
I would hate that. A person standing there almost next to you, making sure you try everything?? Strange!! Making pressure on you, and probably making sure you also buy something.
@@lnesland I did not feel any presure to buy anything, if someone felt pressure it must have been the assistant, having a foreign custumer in the shop who does not speak the native language that good, but we some how managed to communicate too some extent, they have a totally diffrent culture so i bet allot of people would find it awkward.
allmost everyone i know has microwave..
but its usually never included when you rent an apartment. cuz everyone only use it for food left overs
Welcome to Norway! :)
I think the mop thing is because we mostly have wooden floors Norway and they shouldn't get too wet? I've never really understood why people use mops though, I just use a vacuum cleaner.
I'm renting in Northern Norway and the appartment comes with a fully furnished kitchen (microwave, fridge, cooker)
Microwaving food somehow feels like admitting defeat, and cheating on proper food. I also don't have one, mostly because i know if i did it would affect my diet in a negative way, as in i would more likely chose quick and easy. Also the process of cooking is kinda a reward in itself.
Yes, please make more videos like this! Xx
The reason we in Norway speaks English so good, is because its a subject in school. so the kids starts to learn it in ground school
At H&M in Norway you'll be lucky that get a "Hi" from the clerks. But those are usually huge stores with a lot of customers at the same time so it sort of makes sense. Basically, the smaller and/or more expensive the store, the more help you will get.
i have lived in norways almost all my life, and we have always had a microwave...
to heat up water we have a electric kettle:)
Hi, We do not have a microwave. We don't need one either. A microwave oven is a superfluous product that, strictly speaking, is only for popping popcorn. All of the food that has been through a microwave oven is ruined.
Your house is so cute. You could do a house tour and talk about like Norwegian houses VS Portuguese houses?
Yes. Part II, please.
Microwave ovens where more popular in the 1980's-90's. I have one, but just use it for popping popcorn and heating pre-made meals (Fjordland).
You are wrong about the microwaves. Absolutely everyone has a microwave. I have never meet a person that don't have one.
It probably depends on where you live maybe? I know many people who don't have it. Usually I just use the oven or stove.
i dont have a microwave :(
I dont.
Lars S..... I don't have one and never use microwave for worming up food . Used to worming up my food at work .. not anymore
Yep, but it's not included in rentals. You have to buy it your self.
I'm from Finland and here couples usually have separate duvets too. It is much more convenient, I would say.
my husband and I tried it for a few days. it's awful. what's the point in sleeping in the same bed if you don't feel each other's warmth or naked bodies. I couldn't sleep well at all with separate duvets.
Same here in Sweden
tnx for the video, it's very helpfull..
The microwave is like a waterboiler. Not included in the rent lmao
Well that can be surprising because in other places the microwave is standard and comes mounted on the underside of shelves, usually near the sink.
I live in the US and we have the mops you describe from Portugal. We also have sponge mops, which is like having a big sponge on the bottom of the stick. The flat kind you describe in Norway also exists, but I've never had one.
Really?! With a sponge? That sounds so funny haha ☺️💕
@@MonAmieDesserts Yes, really. :) I don't think I can post a picture so I will try a link: duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=sponge+mop&ia=images&iax=images&iai=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fcatalog%2FproductImages%2F1000%2Fa5%2Fa56718f1-3d7f-4496-a671-33c3fa42c409_1000.jpg
Hi :)
Microwave ovens are common in Norway too, but I and many others choose not to use them because rumors say it is unhealthy for our food to be processed in a micro. Otherwise they are not very nice either and they take up a lot of space in the kitchen :) Still think 2 out of 3 homes in Norway have micro :)
Nice video! And you are soo cute! I hope you enjoy your time here in Norway
Thank you! ☺️
Most people have a microwave, but imost people do not rent, so they own the micro, and bring it with them if they sell the house and move. So micros are mostly not included with long term rentals.
We also have thus mop in Austria. Called swiffer. And we also have different bed blankets here
Have you heard of "Sous-Vide food". Long cooked food. Then wrapped in plastic and vacuum bag for storage. Then you can quickly heat it up again when you want in the micro wave. Or you can buy the Sous-Vide food pre-made in the stores and heat it up at home :)
Micro wave is also practical for me that are living alone, I can heat up yesterdays "lapskaus" for dinner, and its even better on day two :)
I like your sweet positive energy, I don't understand the microwave obsession lol. Keep it up lovely!
I have a tiny tiny apartment and it has a built in microwave...I always had one wherever I lived. I think it’s fairly common to have one here in Norway, but it’s not that often used (for other things than popcorn😅). However, it’s not necessarily a household staple like an oven.
I also have two 220*200cm duvets...in my double bed 😅 it’s important to have separate duvets!! 😆👍🏻
Really interesting to hear about your experience living here in Norway. I do volunteer work as a language teacher for refugees and immigrants in Norway, where they also learn about our culture and etiquette (all as a free offer from local libraries). And it’s always interesting to learn how we are viewed from the ‘outside’. It’s a lovely opportunity to become more self aware!
My accent is American, but we do learn ‘British’ English in school. Or at least we used to when I grew up in the 80s-90s. I think we still do. American words/spelling was accepted in my school as long as you were consistent.
Hope to see part two 😊👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
In Norway it is even really common to have microwaves at working places, cantinas and most homes. Microwave food is eaten a lot, as well 😊, the most famous food company for microwave food is Fjordland.
Hi, I´m Portuguese and I also live in Norway from 5 years ago and my Norwegian friends, girls, they don´t use high heels not because they dont´t like it, but due the only reason that walk in the streets of Oslo is the same as walk in a farm!!! A lot of muddy snow mixed with gravel is a nightmare for them and also the fact of almost all the streets are dirty with permanent road works! A lot of holes and grave machines, soil and mud!!! That´s why is "trendy" for them use sneakers. When they travel to others cities they use it a lot like all proudly girls do.
This is a funny explanation - Just to inform You : Norway has : summer (no snow) - autum (no snow) - spring (no snow) - winter (some snow - but not all the time!!). High heels is used for parties!
Luckily the streets in Oslo are clean enough for a Tesla.
lol what, the streets of Oslo are not dirty 😅 It's one of the cleanest cities (let alone capitals) out there. It's because Norwerigans, in general, do not like to dress up/wear formal clothing. Not because the streets are like on a farm haha Norwegians prefer casual clothing and gender roles are not so extreme as in many other countries so women are not "expected" to look a certain way. You'll find that if high heels are not pushed on you as some kind of sign of femininity and sex appeal, most women will not gravitate towards them. Girls like comfy clothing as much as guys do, and in Norway girls are taught that that's okay. As opposed to many other cultures where girls are taught that they should wear makeup, perfume, high heels and other stereotypically feminine stuff.
@@NikolaTheodore So true. We are a little bit more down to earth than to use high heels on a regular daily basis. And that being said, I would advise all women with newly bought stilettos to take a look in the mirror while taking some steps. An awful few of you know the art of using them, and for us men, it's a real turn of watching those who don't master it.
@@PerJustert just salty... if you own one or other kind of a car you´ll see it rusty really fast, body, brake kalipers, etc...
The duvets are easily explained. In Scandinavia where the winters are cold if you were to have a single duvet between two people, it creates a space between them and the duvet which allows the chill air to seep down. Not fun!
Each person with their own duvet means they can snuggle it around themselves completely, thus blocking out the cold air.
Hate the mops... Always used a floorcloth + "wood broom" with rubber under and a normal bucket.
How do you keep those round mops clean?
They don’t get clean. They just move the dirt around with them.
I don't have microwave. I don't know if my reasons are the same as others but can say my personal reasons at least. 1: Takes up space. 2: Microwave foods are usually not that healthy. 3: If I have leftovers after dinner, the dinner is usually in the cooking casserole (did I use right word there?), and I just heat up the food from the stove anyway. So long story short, I simply don't need one, so why bother :)
Separate duvets and mattresses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. When I first got here from the United States I was deeply puzzled why I couldn't buy a king or queen-sized mattress. Different system. Now I'm used to it.
I've rented a lot in the UK and have never had a microwave as part of the package. Ive always provided my own.
the stringy mop thing was a little more used 20-30 years ago i think
Most people I know do have a microwave oven, but few use it because it tastes better in a pan or in the oven. Besides, most people have induction stoves, where heating/boiling is quicker anyway. The Swedes uses the same mop as you, but it mostly just moves the dirt around. Elderly would just use a rag (trapo?) Single duvet is becoming more common. My grandparents even slept in separate beds...
I’m from Oslo and none of my friends that lives here or none in my family have a microwave, but i know that in smaller towns outside it is more common to heave one, and almost all of my friends drive EVs, but outside Oslo its more common to drive diesel.
It's unfortunate that you said that thing about microwaves so that's what everyone is commenting about. Cool video :)
Hello, hello! Awesome video, quero muito a segunda parte :') É sempre ótimo conhecer melhor outras culturas e tenho adorado os conteúdos que partilhas sobre a vida na Noruega! Além disso, não há assim tanta divulgação dos costumes dos países nórdicos, pelo menos aqui em Portugal (e através dos filmes captamos mais as culturas inglesas), por isso este tipo de vídeos são sempre bem vindos 🌏
Boa semana 😘
Obtigada! Fico feliz por ouvir 🥰 mais vídeos virao 😁
Hi! Nice video. On the microwave issue: a lot of people were comenting: "but I have a microwave" or "everyone does". I think that misses the point. The majority of my norwegian friends in Bergen do have microwaves (it is still amazing that some don't!). But I think that the point is the way the norwegian culture in general sees the microwave. As a lazy, american, bad quality way to do anything.
I often had arguments with my norwegian wife where I would say "just microwave it" and she'd been in shock. Now she learned the convenience of it. (for the reasons you mentioned in the video).
Adoro seus videos!
Nicely said! Thank you ☺️🙌🏻
LOL, I'm norwegian and I have a microwave but I kind of hate it. I look at it as the lazy obtion for sure.. It's good for popcorn, nothing else.
Hehe, sounds about right. Ive started to develop a liking for my microwave, but just to heat ut liquids and soft foods. Not for dinners. Veggies and meat I still heat up in casseroles and oven 😉
I live in Norway and we literally have a microwave at school
That's because you have to bring your own food.
Yes and because we can buy food to microwave, but my point was that it’s pretty usual to have a microwave in Norway
@@olson_ Bruh no, u can just buy it at school.
@@iiiii42 not in all schools
Zarlandris Unless you are in 1-10th grade, there should be a microwave at your school
Your English is great. Enjoyed your video. 🙂
It is very normal to have a microwave. Almost everyone got one. But many has gotten one built in. And it can also act like an oven. It is just a different setting. Almost everyone got a microwave
I'm norwegian and microwaves are very common. We use ours very rarely though. I think most food is better when reheated somehow else.
Yes, I can talk about how gorgeous she is.
Breathtaking,stunningly beautiful.
A face carved by angels 😊
I have two microwaves. On for the kitchen, and on in the basement-room used just for popcorn really. Also, most people do have it.
I think Portugal is specific with their mops because everywhere they use the rectangular mops xD Even in Croatia lol
The microwave part was a bit wierd. I've lived here all my life, and ALL households I've been to have them
Have you been to all the households though? Why do you think your sample size can then be applied to the whole country?
@@deaddoll1361 If you read my comment carefully, I didn't say ALL households have microwaves. I said "all households I'VE BEEN TO" have them
@@michaelespeland OMG no most don't have them
@@SRBOMBONICA86 Where in norway have you been, lol
We have a microwave 🙈 its common for some households, we use it a bunch 👍🏻😄 for almost the same things you list, as well as defrosting faster ☺️ water we boil in a water boiler or on the stove 🤗
On a lot of stores The have å dorbell lokking thing You can press and then someone that work there comes to help you or get other sizes. But most people just grabs two sizes so they won’t go out and get other sizes.
About the store thing, you can ask the store people on the floor that you want a new par of pants but you don't know your size and you need help and they will help you in the changing rooms and stuff like that.
To ask while in the changing room would be kinda rude as most people take 2-3 different sizes into the changing room to begin with or are shopping whit a friend that can help them.
Just remember that the people working in stores work whit several people at the same time so it might take a while for them to come back to you which is why people just do it themselves.
And as others have mentioned.. microwaves are common, just not something you start out whit as it's not an necessity.
great video ! 😊
Sharing duvet is typically a fresh romance deal, some have preferences depending on the situation.
Most people I know have a microwave, I included, though I rarely ever use it.
i think most people have microwaves but rentals usually don't or if you move to a house the previous owners takes it with them
Comment section :- MICROWAVES
She did ask for comments on the microwave 😉
I live in Norway, and me too, I have never seen a microwave in someone’s house, or mine.
I'm Norwegian, and have never owned a microwave, and have had my own apartment since '97 . I hate them. Induction is so much better.
Wait till you try Rakefisk . I am Australian living in Norway ( Oslo ) And I did laugh hearing your vid . Keep reporting them strange things that the Noggies (Norwegians) have or do. Welcome to Norway , It is different coming from the outside, But it is Excellent here and full of many wonderful people.
i am norwegian and everybody I know have a microwave... But if you rent you have to get it yourself sometimes. You don`t always get a fully equipt kitchen when you rent..
Norwegian here, don't think I've ever been in an apartment or house that didn't have a microwave. But rentals might expect you to bring your own.
