    Regarding the bottleholders.
    All places that sells bottles are required by law to also accept them back and pay you a tiny sum for handing back the bottle.
    Some people still don't take the bottles back though, so the stand is there so people can leave their bottles there for poor people to take back to a store or something to earn that money.

    • @DillaryHuff
      @DillaryHuff 5 років тому +2

      Simply put: We recycle bottles in the stores here. Most convenience stores pay out a small sum per bottle, as an incentive for people to make the effort to recycle their bottles. I have an apartment in the center of a mid-sized city, and I'm often too lazy to take my empty bottles all the way to the store, so I tend to collect a few bags of them and give them to the Romanian beggars who sit just around the block from where I live. It's win/win :)

    The Norwegians you saw, might have been from other countries. Unlike, in the US, we don't categorize all white people as "white people" :P We emphasize nationality a lot more compared to Americans, who seem to focus more on race (from what I can tell). When I grew up, during the early 90s, the terms "black" and "white" weren't even used here. It has since been adopted from English, but I preferred it when we didn't use those terms. Oslo inhabits a lot of Swedes who come here for work. Only a couple of years ago, before the Syrian refugee wave really took off, the largest immigrant group in Oslo consisted of Swedes. There are also quite a lot of Poles and Eastern Europeans here.

      +yves le flaneur
      Actually the main reason everything is expensive isn't due to taxes (directly) and money going to the oilfund.
      Rather it's because of the taxes on the oil itself.
      Basically the norwegian currency is a small one and the oil companies sell their oil in dollars, yet they have to *pay* those taxes as well as their salaries in our local currency.
      As a result there's a *huge* demand for our currency whenever the oil prices are high.
      And because of the rules of supply and demand that means that our currency is extremely expensive in terms of non-local currency.
      Within our economy everything is relatively normal though.
      But when you look at the interaction with the outside of our economy...
      Well...
      Norwegian labour obviously ends up being extremely expensive and so is most things produced and sold here.
      It's not *that* bad if you have a local income though.

    • @Jamokai
      @Jamokai 5 років тому +7

      yes but many people work for around 100 NOK , and ALOT of refugees are being exploited by local businesses so it's really not fair the level it is at now. Many norwegian families depend on the salvation army to survive, so it's not all glittery and beautiful over here, may seem so tho.

    • @Luredreier
      @Luredreier 5 років тому

      +Jamokai
      Depends.
      The high costs makes having a low local income harder then it should be.
      But having a *truly* low local income is actually fairly rarer for natives.
      Regarding immigrants and refugees however, yes, you're absolutely right.
      And if you somehow manage to fall between two stools...
      Most of the time the Norwegian welfare system manages to pick people up and help them manage.
      But it doesn't *always* work as it should.
      The last three months I've been managing with a income of about 730 USD worth pr month while my income is usually at around 1 200 USD worth give or take perhaps 150 USD worth.
      Yes, that's obviously something I need to deal with...
      But essentially that's about as bad as you'll get in the Norwegian system if you've ever had a income here and paid taxes (and are therefore elegible for our social security systems)
      And chances are you'll be way, way better off.

    The reason all refugees have money, although they don't have any job, is because of a system that was made to minimize the amount of people without jobs. The system is called NAV and was actually an acronym for "New labor and welfare management". The acronym, NAV, has in later years become a proper name. The system gives courses on how to search for a job, and norwegian companies can search for new empolyees through this system. It's quite genius if it hadn't been for those who just live off the NAV money, and don't try to get a job. That includes the refugees you met...

    Newly arrivals of refugees do get government assistance to live and buy food. And it’s funny you mention that they’re all young guys as the media likes to gloss over that fact. Some of them claim to be under 18 while being upwards of 35 years old. To get permanent residency and a lot more help with free apartments and stuff like that, some of them have been trough hard stuff of course. But I feel personally that the people who should get the support are the people fleeing from war. As it is quite a big load on our welfare system and social structures and cohesion with larger amounts.
    So yeah it’s a weird issue in Europe right now, but I’m sure you’ve heard about the refugee crisis in America. It was supposed to be about helping Syrian refugees but it turned into an open invitation by the politicians to be the number one altruist. Of taking in people from the 3rd world.

    I have to say something about the place you stayed on, because those buildings makes up not only a hostel, but a hotel and a lot of student accommodations. Even though you have to be a student, some people "tricks the system" and live here without being a student -and they can't throw you out in the duration of your contract. The reason the place has a lot of bad recommendations is because of past history, but also because of the location. It's next to a place where beggars can get food handouts, and also Generius (the shopping center in the vid) is a place where a lot of weird people get together.
    I live here, so I know a lot of the things going on around here. I've called guards because of people doing narcotics, I've seen needles in the smoking bin, people selling pills right outside... A lot of noise from the kindergarten between the houses... And it always smells like food. Oh and who doesn't like being waked up at 7am from a leaf blower :)
    However, depending on what building you live in, it's not too bad. It's pretty modern, it's ok-ish price, though not the cheapest student housing and that cornershop is really handy. You can live here during your student life no problems. Coming from the countryside... I'm going to move closer to nature, there's too much noise here :P

    First part of the vide, it was only old people anad refugees cause
    1. School.
    2. We kinda have different places for different people, like "there" lives the old people", "there" lives families, there lives etc etc
    And some refugees get ALOT of money from something called NAV, it's ran by the state and they basically give out money.
    Idk about the no females thingy, female aren't looked down on here.

    8:15 Instead of the Express Train you can also choose the public transport provided by the NSB trains. It's almost half the price: 101 NOK.
    However, I see how it's more relieving and safe to have a train that goes directly (and a little faster) to the airport.

    What I noticed is wherever you walked, there were very few cars and very few people. Are there really that few cars and people over there?

    A good observation!
    You will see a lot of middle aged middle eastern african south american and asian fugees but mostly these are men.
    Women are "easily accepted" by the society and it's easier for them to gain employment through the institutional racist web in the norwegian job market.
    After all, this is the only country that has a ministry for women (& children), yes in Norway we have a minister or secretary for women (& children) affairs.
    Education is free over here but unless your major is health related, construction or law, or if gifted in sports, you will find it almost impossible to gain meaningful employment. That is why alot of meanual jobs (taxi, bus, restaurant) are a reserve of brown and black.
    Most black and brown engineers tend to get their education here but seek employment outside the country as no one is willing to employ them over here. That is sad.
    Overall it is a peaciful environment to raise your children, clean air, free education, and medical services..probably the best place on earth in terms of civil liberties, you can walk free and drive around and be a human being without being frisked and searched as they do in your country which we find very sad and inhuman. But every nation has its challanges and Norge is not an exception. But we value human life and human dignity and that is reflected by the overall quality of life for all that live in Norway. Many nations have a lot to learn from our model but we also have a lot to learn in accepting some simple facts and address the elephant in the room, that is institutional racism, which in most cases is very hard to prove.

      You are of course in denial of the fact that Norway is a society very much guided by the principles of "trynefaktor", it has always been and always will be, (sånn er det bare)
      It is very insincere to deny simple historical facts of this country, just before the arrival of the Pakistanis, nordlæninga (ethnic norwegians from the north), tæter (scandinavian romani folk), and samer (sami), bore the brunt of racism now shifted to the (ny landsmen) non western european norwegian citizens. These are just facts. Many of these new landsmen, get free norwegian education, they want to pay back to the society but their CV's never make it past the HR department because the have a foreign sounding name. Many get frustrated and because these are highly skilled labourers, they are very attractive in other parts of the world, you name it, you find many of these highly skilled non ethnic norwegian with highly paid jobs in Brazil, the US, UK, gulf states and east Africa.
      Instead of denying, you should be angry at this professional flight.

    It’s funny how u see Norway and Oslo. I live there and yes there’s a lot of foreign men that doesn’t work because in their culture it’s the woman that have to work. So a lot (not being a racist but just saying facts) of the men doesn’t work and get money from us while the woman work. And it’s starting to get a lot of that here now, specially in Oslo. Oslo is more expensive then other places in Norway so I understand why u think everything was expensive but our tap water is clean so u didn’t have to buy water.
