There are no polar bears in Norway. There are some in Svalbard, but that is technically not sovereign Norwegian territory. Free range they are though. The "Onsies" are just padded, rain resistant overalls, really. Though I guess the sports gear companies wouldn't agree with that description 😁
YES to all! I still have a winter overall, it is nice to put on on those colder days. I was dumbfounded when I was asked about polar bears years ago, I did not know that polar bears was something ppl thought walked around in mainland Norway
Well, these points may be common in Norway, but I think long walks in the forest or mountains is definitely a thing here too. And of course the cabins! To stay in a cabin in a remote area is normal, and so is walking from mountains cabin to cabin common.
She may be Norwegian, but the two sentences she spoke were with an English accent. So I don't think Norwegian is her mother tongue, or the language she speaks most.
For me, what she says sounds perfectly Norwegian without any accent - she says «Ja, jeg…» in the start of both the sentences so fast that it sounds like «Jai», that might be a cause for confusion…
Acutualy the found *IS* officially owned by the norwegian ppl. It is only maniged by Norges Bank investment manigment on behalf of the ministry of finance.
@@Randomdude21-e - we are already seeing some of the issues. One - an insanely bloated and inefficient government. Two - the Norwegian culture must adapt to become an oil state like Qatar, with foreign workers flooding the country. Its a totally new situation for Norway, and it will not stop. The fund is spiraling out of control.
@@Mosern1977 thats the politicians fault not the fund it self. As long as they use under the 3% its not going to destroy anything. But yes we need new people to run this country, the people in charge now are killing all new conpanies that try to grow in Norway and make them move to other countries.
@@Mosern1977 I wholeheartedly agree with you first point. As the oil "cushion" has created a generation of lazy career politician of the worst kind here in Norway. Your second point is nonsensical, the whole point of the oil fund is to not end up like Qatar/Saudi, in general, stay away from the "dutch disease". So no, nothing about the oil fund should have anything to say about the ammount of foreign workers we take into our country. As most of our industry and big employers are fleeing the country because of the insane increase in electricity. So we might be rich as a nation/state, but we are sorely lacking in actual jobs and development for our nation atm....
"you are most likely Norwegian if you think your society is so great you have the right to put your nose up at any other society not living exactly like yours" while forgetting all the foundations that make your society possible does not apply to other nations.
I've asked. It varies by how "muslim" you are. The more conservative try to follow Norwegian time(maybe conservatives in the far North follow Oslo time, I don't know) and the more liberal Mecca.
I have a winter "onesie" and love it. When it's -20°C and below, and you need to spend hours outside, there's nothing better.

She might have one British parent or both.
@@SaraKvammen-tx7qc She has both, and so did I. Notice how she pronounced "jeg". She, like my English mother, pronounced it "jai" instead of "jei" 🙂
@@arne1958 oh, ! I am Norwegian, but people tell me I speak with an Irish accent...weird

Oilfund passed 19.000 billion NOK a few weeks back😅 1,75 trillion Usd.
Compound interest ftw.
Its growing insanely quickly now. It is going to become a major problem for the Norwegian economy and culture going forward
@@Mosern1977 how so ?

Oil fond is 18 billion kroner
Not so funny for Muslims living in north and ramadan happen to be in the summer, can not eat until sun set you know.
They mostly follow Mecca time (I used to teach Norwegian, so I checked with the local mosque). WHich is probably for the best for their own health.
@@nullnullsjo I don't think so, do they follow Mecca time in Hawaii?
They do excatly the same as all religions that got busted, they change it.

She is probably an AI robot. Her norwegian language sounded like a bad google translation robot. And yeas i'm from Norway.
Cheers.
