I have read that Norway is the best country to live for moslems. May be due to the restrictions on alcohol😅

I see the star and the crescent hanging from your ears. Do you have any connection to Turkey, Comoros, Algeria, Mauritania, Tunisia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkmenistan or Uzbekistan?

The country is nice and most people nice and kind, but if you work with them they like to gossip , not in front of you, but they like. Most of norwegians dont like foreigners although they re not allowed by laws to say it to your face, but you can see it by the treatment foreigners get when get employed in Norway. One thing also that is important is if you dont speak good norwegian management will try to twist your words you said on meetings, make up things in order to not keep you longer at work and if you face them with that, they will say: DET VAR MISFORSTOELSE. While actually it wasn t, they just try to set you up with many things you forgot to do at work or did not do, while you actually did all right, but they try to set you up thinking if you are alone in Norway and dont speak norwegian good they can do whatever they want. So I would recommend anyone to read all the rights you have as a human being before moving to Norway, learning language, get know the system. Also there is some organization called Barnevernet that like to take children away from parents for a little thing. For example your neighbour can complain about you that you raise little voice on your kid, or if your kid look little sad at school they will just come and take all your kids away for years, in some cases they will change their names and last names, location and you will never see them again. And 80 percent kids they take are foreign kids, and as a newcomer in Norway with your family they will put all the attention on you 24/7. They will behave like detectives but never in direct way, but behind your back which is very mean and I can not call it normal or legal. It seems to me as a nacistic way, rasist way of behaviour. Also they expect that all foreigners adjust to Norway, norwegian culture etc., but they actually are not ready to accept other cultures, which is shown by the fact that they take away thousands of foreign children especially when they re young so they can brain wash them for years until they re sure they learned to live in norwegian way of living. LOOKS MORE LIKE A MODERN AUSCHIWTZ . So if you call it democratic country, I dont.

The people sound like me. Florida is the opposite but in a bad way where they stare a lot at you, which is very uncomfortable

4:45 and if you mind the rain but like everything else move to any other part of Norway than west Norway.

when i visited norway i was eating only junk food like hamburgers and pizzas all day every day for 12 days and my skin has never been clearer and healthier, ive never seen anything like this

Speak norwegian

Are you still alive, Sweetheart?

.... is the most beautiful city in Norway.... ehhmmm it is the only city I been to in Norway... :) He he I live in the eastern part of Norway, near Drammen, a city a little south west of Oslo and I have travelled a lot in Norway with motorcycle (Especially under covid...) and I can assure you: It is A LOT of really astonishing towns and cities in Norway, and A LOT of places you wouldn't be surprised if you saw floating letters in the air in front of the place, cos you feel just like driving in to a postcard.. :) I have nearly driven off the road some places, cos of the absolute stunning view and I'm from Norway.... So travel, see Norway, you will not regret it! The whole of it... Not the north cape though, that is a tourist trap if I ever saw one... And yeah, a lot of other nationality's say Norwegians are cold, I've even heard some say almost rude, but is you make a friend in Norway you have a fierce friend for life that is always there for you, not only in good times, but in bad once too. Cos there is in bad times you really need a friend right? :)

Nice cons, but these cons are for Bergen, well except prices. Thing about Bergen is that it's THE rain town in Norway, if speaking with someone from Bergen, they will brag about their rain records for hours, it's one of the most rainy towns in Europe. Seasonal depression, well, there is 4 seasons, sometimes in a day, but here Bergen is freakn soft, further north almost no Sun and north of Bodø there is dark period with no Sun at all for a period. Yeah, expensive country, but with a good job not gonna live in poverty. If you wanna be sinner, drink alcohol, the Christian party always made sure that gonna be difficult, be happy you have Vinmonopolet near, mine on north-west coast is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, but ain't really a problem with some planning. As I grew older, I actually like the strict policies on alcohol, gambling, speeding, drugs, prostitution. The silence on Sundays, only immigrants make noise before church hours on Sunday, it's actually illegal, no Norwegian cut their grass on Sundays. Yep, outside Oslo, it's super slooow, if you wanna live urban, Oslo is pretty much the only option. However, why live in Norway if seeking urban life style? :)

I have gor my packet in 2 days. I gues you should move back to uk

Tunnels is for your safty

Well you choice wrong place to live in Norway ALL west coast have almost 200 weeks with rain in a year so move to Oslo or east it have normale rain and sun trough the year but then again those place are really cold in the winter though and much snow!!

Going into this, I didn't think I would be one of those people who would find everything about this video appealing.. I've been proven wrong lol. All the way down to the alcohol taxes as I don't really drink anyway. Only thing that would be more of an adjustment is the socializing 😂 Great video, thanks for this!!

Cold??? haha, Bergen is warm, compared to east or north of Norway. Only the 300+ days of rain is horrible

You are spot on with the less consumerism. You have to plan a lot more what you need when. Impuls buying is not possible, for sure not when you live rural. And with all that living is cheaper then in UK or NL where I am from. Yes items are more expensive, but you buy less items...

On the 11th day of sun the people of Bergen start to cry. They know it's last day of sun thst year.

Takeaway?! You live in the province! 😄

No.

Bergen is fantastic ❤the culture among the Atlantic coast from west to the north is totally different than in the east. In the east it’s much more secluded. In Bergen you can get in contact to everyone ❤️❤️❤️ - Norway is more expensive because the salary is higher

Meh.....been in Bergen several times but find the city pretty overated and the constant rain sucks ! Much better in the central south east part of Norway !

As we don’t drink, come on girl where are u linking. It’s 20 in the week and 6 at night. No Amazon is because the workers condition is so bad. We get our food delivered the day after. She has no idea what’s talking about. Not helpful just a lot of shit, sorry

What’s she bobbling about 😅

Just nine months? If these are "cons" for not living in Norway then you will really hate your life there when real life hits you.

If you live in Bergen, you dont even experience COLD weather. If you move up north, you can experience a phenomena called FROST! 😂 Nice video btw.

Hi. I really like your videos about Norway. And you’re doing great 😀 Cheers from Alex, 38-years-old Norwegian.

Norway is a very small country. But it is long, and with a very small population. We have long distances to travel for "things". I know this is a bad example these days. But Gaza has about the half of the population of Norway....2,3 mill...in the space that's about our largest inland lake, Mjøsa. Point being, we have a LOT of space here. Things are far apart.

♥welcome to Norway!

Hi Alex. I am from Sri Lanka. I am so happy that you have your own business in Norway. I have my own company here in Sri Lanka. Could you please help me to start a business in Norway? Thanks for your information

I'm afraid you're a bit confused about stuff in Norway when it comes to production and import. Norway doesn't produce any clothes. Everything is imported. You may be right about it being better quality, but this is only because Norway is a high-cost economy, thus shops cannot live off the cheapest segment. The same goes for food.

I’m wondering….did you check out Norway before moving?? If you don’t like rain…don’t move to Bergen. If you don’t like spending money…don’t move here at all. If you have to drink on sundays….buy it on saturdays.

For me these "cons" are pros for me, but to which their own.

@AlexR0ze what visa did you apply for? Are you elligible to apply for citizenship off of the visa you have?

Alex move to Sweden, but they are much more difficult to get into, but the prices are much cheaper 😱😱

Buhuu

Good list, I think the outdoor life style is important, not all enjoy it, if you prefer busy and crowded cities, not gonna enjoy Norway. The water yes, but also the air, so clean. Wrt green space, I read somewhere that Oslo had 74% green space, anyway it's a trait for all city and villages, very close to nature. Not much snow in Bergen, but elsewhere should learn to ski :)

yeah, Norway ain't for everybody, but we have a joke that Bergen ain't Norway. You on west coast and Bergen is surrounded by mountains, so when that shitty UK weather come from west and meet those mountains, the air need to go up and then air get cooled down, then it rains and rains. Bergen is one of the rainiest cities in Europe and when you meet someone from Bergen, they go on and on about their rain records. Oslo is much more dry, in fact all other Norwegian cities have less rain, you selected the wettest city in Norway. Yes, the darkness is awful, but imagine up north, no freakn Sun light at all during the dark period. I can't stand it, but Bergen is down south and not that dark. To enjoy all-year living in Norway, need to be mentally robust, you basically in no-mans land. During covid, social distancing was easy for us, just keep on what we already do, haha

Come to my part of Norway and enjoy seasonal depression on a new level. 0 hours of light per day for a couple of months is perfect for depression. On the flip side, 24 hours of sun per day for a few months is amusing, so you win some you loose some.

You have just meet the wrong people in norway :p

There was a time, not very long ago, when most Norwegians aspired to have a "hytte" (cottage) out in the more non-settled areas, where you actually had to walk, ski or use a boat to get there. Today this has become sort of a big business, and many get that same "cottage" <laughs mockingly> in a planned area, with an access road, electricity and in-door water-supply for their toilets and kitchens... So, it's just a home-away-from-home, but in a different location, mostly.

I love our low population density, I think it's one of the most underrated things about Norway. I imagine someone particularly outgoing/extroverted might see it as a negative thing, though 😅

Bergen is the wettest town on the ENTIRE CONTINENT, not a good data point for the entire nation 😂

Never worry about offence. It is only taken.

Hi, interesting for a Norwegian to hear your perception and observations 😊 We enjoy travelling in GB because of the differences. Nice to have you here 🎉

It’s wonderful to see you’re still In Norway . I would love to visit . Have you picked up much of the language ? Do you need it to work in Norway ?

I think the Vinmonopol is a good thing. Everyone has the spare time, time enough to go there before closing time. It was much worse before, way back in older days. Think it s good that strong alcohol is not all over the place. Too easy access makes more people drink too much . Like in USA so many drunks and alcoholics . In Russia too. And other countries too. Too much alcohol anywhere is not good for anyone. Vinmonopolet has opening hours from 10 to 18 on weekdays. Open on saturdays till 15. Just need planning your shopping. Prices are too high I think. Taxes on alcohol is crazy wrong I think. Even if I dont drink much. We go to Sweden and buy alcohol 😊. Cheaper.

One of the drawbacks would be that if ww3 kicks off norway will be wiped off the face of the earth. (For helping the us destroy nordstream2)

Its good because there's fewer people here! Lets keep it that way! Dont let the overpopulation from Europe spill over to norway
