Shocking stuff from Norway - from Yourway2Norway. So you think Norway is a country where everyone is happy? Nobody pollutes? It is fresh, clear - and like a commercial for a North Pole version from Disney? Norwegians are not what you think.
Well, think again. Norwgians and Norway are not what you think. In this video you will see how diryt, filthy, uncivilezed and anarchists we are. You will also see how we treat foreigners (like beggars) or beggars and addicts in general.
To update your view about Norway, you should watch this video.
Quirky, as always. Best from Yourway2Norway.

Going to Norway. All you want is right here.
This Channel gives you Facts and New Perspectives on one of The Richest Country in the World, Norway. According to the UN it’s also the best Nation to live and grow old in. Is it really?
(Due to illness we will be back in the beginning of April with a new video)
Ronald, the Guide, will take you behind the Picturesque Norway, showing you a Different and more Fun Side of this Scandinavian Country. Because he is half Sami, partly Chilean and Italian with a Norwegian Passport. Best from yourway2norway, Ronald and Mads :)

This is a good channel for people interested in Norway and the life in norway for foreginers. As well as much fun, weirdness, quirkyness and satire

Travel to Norway, going to Norway, how is it in Norway, Norwegian life, life in Norway, study in Norway, Norwegian
You don't shy away from telling the truth, so honest, I like it. You don't pretend or sugar coat the things, you don't try to act you are a good guy or something. You are just who you are and it comes across very well in your videos. I think this is why people like your personality.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment! Very motivating for us to read
In cities in the US we let the people off the transportation systems first, pushing past can result in a fight, verbal or physical or both lol
You should come to norway, you would be suprised of how friendly people are, even if you start a fight, they will backup and say stop, instead of fighting back
same in poland. everywhere there is a rule "getouters first" and if someones disobey youre entitled to say what you think at least ;)
This is the same everywhere I've been...
I live in Oregon. Our city has lots of homeless people. Just yesterday I was loading my groceries into the back of my car when a homeless man asked me to go into the store and buy antibiotic ointment and gauze bandages for him. He had an ugly wound from getting frostbite whilst
sleeping outside. I immediately went in to store and purchased them for him and he was grateful. I think this type of kindness happens a lot in the US.
It does ,Americans are very kind hearted. Overall.🇩🇰🇺🇸🦅💜
I have done this kind of thing before. As you know , no big deal.
KRISTIN. it is very sad when I visit Portland. Living in rural northwest Iowa it is hard to understand Portland and the problems it has. I maybe sound heartless and judgemental. It is easy to feel heartless but I have given to homeless several times too.
If someone is truly hungry and asks for something to eat, I will gladly buy them a meal and give them some money too. I will admit I am the 1st to judge someone living on the street but I do have a soft heart too.
I live in California and I can say it isn't the same here, most people would have probably told the man to back off or they will call the cops. I think it's mostly out of fear of the person being some pshyco or addict who will try and rob/attack them.
A New Yorker can survive in Norway without problems
Tai so true! Looks like Disney land to this new yorker
Fuck New York, fondly from Georgia .
Traffic walk lights are only "suggestions" for New Yorkers, mostly to be ignored.
On the other hand, Norwegians will just get arrested in Germany.
You so rigth I live in New Yo for 30 years
@@TFlexxx In NYC, if you obey traffic lights, the cops will think you're a wiseguy, trying to start trouble. Everyone is expected to cross whenever possible, not just when they have the light.
I treat poor people with loving kindness and I help as much as I can.
Me too.... You have a good heart
@@deborahgardner2018 thank you for your comment, it is encouraging to know someone else has a heart full of compassion for the less fortunate. The world is a sorry place without compassion and empathy. Stay sweet as you are, hugs ❤
Spitting on someone is the ultimate insult! If someone did that in the USA they would probably get a good yelling from a passerby or possibly even arrested.
I don't think it's more socially accepted in Norway (I'm Norwegian) than in the United States.
None normal Norwegians spitts on people..
@@knaajo In the US spitting on someone is considered an assault and you would be arrested.
That's not actually the case (this channel has a mix of truth, satire and fiction - you have to be a Norwegian to know which it is at all times...). Like in most countries beggars are treated as invisible. There has been a huge influx of Romanians who make up almost all the beggar population - these, and their "associates", are often part of other organized crimes, and that is frowned upon.
Dont worry, this is just bullshit from this idiot. We dont spit at people. He is just desperatly trying to get views.
I live in Michigan. I have given money to the homeless many times. We do not spit on them.
Cindy Layton Giving a homeless person money is the same as handing them alcohol or a crack rock. This is not 100 percent the case but it is 50 percent of the time statistically. You would be better to help homeless animals because they need shelter or food 100 percent of the time.
Correct, I'm Michigander too. Feel so bad for homeless, if I was rich I would do more but for now I offer water in summer,food and thick wool socks in winter.
@@LocoChickenNugget I have also never seen that
Never give money, give food or something else, clothing etc, money has a lot of dumb ways to be used, never know a potential dark reason behind money, cannot trust on homeless people , not for their condition but because of a harm that can cause...
@Charlito CR. True. Yet, I have a story for you. I've spent many months in India, constantly being approached by poor and needy people, especially kids and moms with a baby by their hip. I would offer bananas instead of money, something they've always refused. As someone somewhere else in the comments said, it's fishy. Where I live, offering food and a coffee to a homeless isn't refused, ever.
But when it's Christmas time, I do give out money. These people need to have a good time, too, whatever they do with the money is not of my concern.
In the US you would get run over crossing on a red light and in some cases a green light too lol
Rhynda Watson it’s not as bad in the US like in other countries. At least you can sue and be compensated. In Mexico, if you get hurt or almost ran over you don’t get justice
@@kevinmorales6799 wow
yes !!
People on the phone with 'coexist' bumper stickers!
Not in Los Angeles
Wow...I’m from Scotland, I’m quite shocked at how different Norway is compared to what I thought. In Aberdeen, Scotland we have beggars in the city and they are treated respectfully and with dignity. Sometimes I will buy food and give to beggars. I believe no one wants to be a beggar but many have mental health problems which meant losing their homes, jobs etc. Maybe a loss of a spouse...so many reasons why we can just crumble under pressure. It CAN happen to you and I. If everyone took a little time and showed a little kindness to those who are more unfortunate then surely your society will be slightly better? Do Norwegians basically have a superiority complex?
Good reflections! I might be. Thanks for taking time to share and engage 😀
viking boat wow...you’re not a very nice person are you? Maybe you had a bad childhood...shame.
The reason why I state that homelessness is often caused by people going through hard times and have mental healh issues is because I personally know some people who this has been the case. I volunteer for charities that help vulnerable people and people with mental health. That’s me trying to make a difference in someone’s life even if it’s a small difference....what have you done? Have you tried to make the world a better place? Probably not. You use your time read comments and not give constructive criticism. The world is a fucking shithole to be in just now because of arseholes like you.
Gat 2mad that’s a pity isn’t it? A good deed sometimes and often times are not received with gratitude...but don’t let that put you off being a generous and giving person! 😊
@@jennyli7749 i pay tax to help people whit mental helt issues its called free helt care, you dont have that in scotland? These guys have proper nice life due to us paying huge amount of taxes.
Tell me again about my child hood.
Germans are the same with trains, buses and elevators too. In America, it's much more orderly. The people outside wait for those on the vehicle to get off and create space and then the people outside calmly and orderly get on with no pushing and shoving.
The pushing and shoving in Europe is hard to get used to. It truly makes me angry.
We don't push and shove in the UK! We love queing!!
@@therange4033 Makes sense. It's probably an Anglo thing to be polite.
@@theragingplatypus4743 Ha Ha! We were always made to stand in line in the past to get our pay and our food!!
Are you from the East?
@@theragingplatypus4743 No, the UK!
When I visited Norway last summer I stopped at the red walkway sign and my brother was like NO. You just go here! Lol it was so funny oh and the fact that you don’t have to prove that you paid for subway fare etc was amazing to me as well. We took a ferry to the island of Ona and there was coffee and the pancake (I forget the name I’m sorry) and it was a “pay on your honor” with a bucket set out... respect ...❤️
Your “dirty” is still 100 times cleaner than the states. I found that Norwegians value their country, traditions, and space. Here in the US trash is everywhere. My sister in law (Norwegian) told me there is a thing (forgive me I don’t remember the name) in Norway that people come together four times a year to clean the community.
In terms of homeless people ... I think that people treating them “less than” is unfortunately a common thread in the world. I was only there two weeks but if it was easy to move there and y’all didn’t have the winters you have I would be there in a heartbeat! Lol I am new to your channel but totally love your videos so far!!! ☺️
The name is dugnad :)
Aprils Blueheart I live in Michigan in the US and I think it is very clean here. I am from Oklahoma, born and raised there for 26 years, the rest of my 54 years have been in Michigan and I do not find that either state, on the whole, is trashy. I think people do a great job of keeping things clean. Even when I have been to cities such as Boston, DC, Baltimore, and Oklahoma City I find them to be very nicely kept. I have only seen it trashy when I was at the Oklahoma City State Fair and the trash cans are spilling over. Michigan and Oklahoma are nice states to live in and I have visited 39 states and I think we do a good job of keeping things clean.
About beggars:
From my home in the USA, a bit north of San Francisco in Sonoma county’s Russian River area (the westernmost part of California's "Wine Country"):
We are kinda schizoid on the subject.
.
We get a big influx of homeless people in the winter because we’re definitely not as cold as further north or east - and we're basically far more tolerant than places in warmer southern California. But we hate it when our homeless population swells.
.
However, as a people here in this extremely liberal and relatively affluent part of the USA, we mostly believe that we should help those who are so obviously in need. We believe that as a society and as individuals, we _should_ do something to help those who so desperately and obviously need our help. At the same time, we really really really don’t want *them* in our front yards, panhandling outside our Whole Foods markets or being an unsightly presence on our streets, either.
.
According to a December 22, 2018 article in our local newspaper (The Press Democrat: www.pressdemocrat.com/news/9089921-181/sonoma-county-homeless-population-among?sba=AAS ) Sonoma county has “one of the nation’s biggest homeless populations among largely suburban communities.” It’s because, according to this article, we have a serious and continuing lack of affordable housing for that segment of our population. We all understand, too, that we simply lack any way to care effectively care for the addicts and mentally ill who form the vast number of people in this population.
.
We have a whole flock of different organizations who are dedicated to caring for these people. They range from religiously-based groups such as Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army, for example,
-- to --
city/county/state funded groups of all kinds: medical, housing, work-programs, addiction recovery programs, etc
-- and --
on into more loosely-bound and grassroots organizations such as Food Not Bombs, for example, and the occasional popup of orgs like the Really Really Free Market.
Note: The members of Food Not Bombs, a group that included my own daughter for a few years, spend their weekends cooking huge quantities of vegan meals to deliver to the homeless (people whom they term “houseless” because, they say, there would be enough houses for us all but for income inequality).
.
So there’s a lot of attention, thought, time and money spent of all the facets of our homeless population - but the problem is never fixed. We always have homeless people in our area.
.
We do *not* want to see them
BUT
We want to help them (or we want someone [else] to help them, anyway)
AND
We remain frustrated and kinda angry that no matter what kind of help we throw at this “problem” it never seems to help.
.
See?
Schizoid.
.
.
Oh - and we don't really have much of a "poop" or "spitting" problem because there's a LOT of open land around here. This isn't an urban area. At all. So wherever they poop, it's not out in the open or on our streets/sidewalks, etc. Thank the gods for small favors, hmmm?
.
.
I know this was probably a longer and more serious an answer than you wanted but this is our truth on the subject: In norther California's Sonoma County, we also have a problem with homeless/drug addicted/mentally ill people on our streets. Demonstrably we have no idea how to fix it, though we definitely keep trying.
.
.
Good for those in your area, helping the disadvantaged. I agree with your daughter's former group, income inequality is the cause of many ills in our country, including homelessness. The answer? Utah gave them homes! That seemed to help! Maybe other states should follow the example?
Wow, take a breath 👍👍
You say your area is extremely liberal and you believe in helping the less fortunate. Yet conservatives of all income levels are more generous with both time and money. Liberals tend to be generous with OPM (other people's money) via taxes.
@@mikebetts2046 - Not true. At all.
Do converative help run food banks? Work in the (by and large lower paying) "helping" professions like social work, teaching, etc. Do cons spend their free time - and not just their money - helping those in need? No, dude, they do not, not in the vastly greater numbers of those who care about our social ills. Conservatives of all income levels are NOT more generous with either time and money. Especially the poorer cons.
You guys think throwing a bit of chump change at those in need will suffice. You guys think those in need got there by being stupid, unlucky, deluded, mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs; all things they could change but just won't. You guys and your exclusionary vision for this great country (despite what the current occupant of the WH is doing to the place, here and abroad) are definitely NOT looking out for those less fortunate - and your claims to the contrary are just laughable.
So easy to research this, it you are not afraid of the truth. Here is just one article on the matter. www.thefiscaltimes.com/2014/10/17/Who-s-More-Generous-Liberals-or-ConservativesWhere I live; yes, conservatives run the food banks and do most of the charitable work. You might live in a leftist-dominated area and thus see a different percentage bases just on population alone.Leftist do three things as it relates to the poor. Number one; hand out OPM (other peoples money). Number two; Assuage their own guilt for having some money. Three; create more poor people so that they can maintain power by promising freebies.
This is very interesting! Even in New York City, people wait to let riders off the subway before crowding the door and if you cross on a red light, you are taking your life into your own hands! (Besides getting the disapproval of the other pedestrians!)
The funny thing is New Yorkers are KNOWN for their abrupt rudeness! LOL
Cool story! Thanks for sharing 👌
Yep you can even get fined for J-walking if you cross the street on a green light. Ppl still do it, but it's not recommended lol.
Would you say the level of rudeness depends on the borough?
@@cmcc7206 New yorkers are not rude. They just get to the point. They will help you but don't have time for chit chat.
@@anastasia10017 I agree. I'm from New Hampshire and people in the North East are just blunt and to the point. At least people know where they stand with us. If I like someone they know it and if I don't they sure know it. Its better than someone who is nice to your face and stabs you in the back for sure. I'm always polite but I sure don't take people's shit though.
I was shocked how dirty and chaotic Oslo was when I was there, maybe my expectations where a bit high, but other smaller Norwegian cities are much nicer.
for sure. i live in northern norway in a small city. we have people cleaning the streets regularly. but oslo is a shithole. i will never recommend people visiting there
@@AquaTheQueen Can i go to tromso instead???
Dirty and chaotic compared to what? A farm town? It's not Disneyland, but Oslo at it's worst is no worse than the average in Paris or Manhattan.
yes Oslo is not hele Norway, Berlin is not normal Germany
I don't know how long ago you were in Oslo but I visited in 2005 and I didn't see anything really shocking.
Being rude to beggars is disgraceful.
No those beggars are mostly disgusting people. The've been in Sweden over 10-15 years harassing people now.
I bought a beggar food in Bergen and she threw the food in my face and was shouting money money money I only want money, fuck the beggars in Norway ungrateful cunts
that depends on what you consider rude. Not giving them money? The only way you can help these people is to not give them drug money. That is killing them. and creating chaos for the citizens.
Some beggars are not really in need, they just turned this into a business.
A large amount of homeless people are homeless because they are mentally ill (in America) Unlike Norway there's no affordable health care so many sick people stay sick. I never assume someone is an addict or alcoholic. If I feel like giving money I do it. It's a choice. I do it because there may come a day when I need help.
I think you would make a fantastic 1 o'clock news reporter, lovely accent too!
I am surprised that drug addicts are moved around but homeless (beggars) are spit upon. At least we do not do that here in the US. However, we do something worse....we pretend homeless people are invisible. 🙄
Having been homeless in the US, I can say ... Yes, people have spit on homeless, and worse.
Cops often chase druggies from one spot. Funny, old spot is taken over by worse drugs. Our plaza used to have pot smokers. They were chased off. A week later the spot was full of meth heads and junkies.
IT is better to be invisible than to be mistreated though
those aren't homeless they are gypsies Europe is full of them. They are like professional beggars.
Yah. I'd spit on a drug addict before I'd spit on a homeless person. However, most drug addicts here in US are homeless...soo...
Very interesting that people are dressing the same way all over the world now. We cannot tell anymore who is the "foreigner" until they speak. Try it...
In America, you can't tell who the foreigner is by how they speak. We have so many people here from so many different countries, it is so hard to tell.
When I see a homeless poor person, I try to remember, there but for the grace of god go I. We think we are in control of our lives, but you never know what may happen to you. You may expect others to help you, but what if they don’t? What if the people who love you aren’t there to help you? Life can humble you in a hurry. You might as well be kind because you never know when you will need someone to be kind to you- no matter how good and deserving you might believe yourself to be.
True words!!
We treat beggars differently region-by-region in the United States. In LA, I had a reunion with my childhood friend who now lives in New York. He doesn't want to see beggars and homeless. "In New York, we round them up and the police make sure they're out of the way." But in LA, we actually let them set up huge tents and sleep on the sidewalk. Of course both cities treat them like dirt but, now, it has become so normal for LA people to tolerate the sight of homeless people--homeless people sleeping next to your outdoor restaurant table. In more rural parts of the country--where I have also lived--homeless people usually find housing...especially in farm country with harsh winters.
Thanks a lot for your engagement and stories from US. We appreciate it
The only thing I know of Norway is Norwegian Forest Cats which are cute af. Please do a video on them.
I sincerely appreciate that you and Mads show us the real side of Norway. Thank you for showing us this side!!
In the US, it is unacceptable to mistreat a beggar. Many of us actually feel bad for not giving them money or food. But it is very difficult to tell who will really benefit from a hand out because many of those beggars are drug addicts or con men. One time I went to the grocery store and bought several items to give to a beggar standing on the street. When I gave him the bag of groceries, he seemed annoyed and just stuffed the bag in his back pack. Since then, I have been less inclined to give any hand outs, but I will give to people trying to earn money by selling flowers or collecting cans. We don’t have many disabled beggars because most people with a chronic disability are supported by the government.
Here in NYC people don't wait for people to get off the train and buses. Lots of pushing, especially during rush hour.
In America many people give to beggers while apologizing that they did not give more.
Duke Of Prunes I've been to "N'awlins" several times and found some impudent beggars there, too. I've worked in homeless shelters for most of my life. Not to sound "holier than thou" but you gotta remember that being poor is very, very difficult in many, many ways. Poor people are often treated as if they're invisible so I think that they feel if they're invisible, throwing out their real thoughts isn't going to matter anyways.
True but now the SJWs are making laws so you can't give food to the beggers.
Yeah...
Duke Of Prunes Can't help but wonder why you're so angry at poor people? Did you have a hard time growing up? Maybe if you can give yourself a break, you'll be able to do the same for others. Life is hard enough without bearing ill will, as small as it may be, towards people less fortunate than ourselves. Anyways, it feels good to be generous towards others.
Many people ignore mentally ill/schizophrenic homeless people. Very sad situation. That said, I never see people spitting on them or treating them badly, they are just generally ignored. :(
In the San Fernando Valley, I buy poor beggars whatever food they want. It's a Catholic teaching.
Good and raping young boys are Catholic teaching too?
@@Hazara26 The monsters who have infiltrated the church and done hideous things to children are useful idiots for Satan, and it began with Stalin trying to bring down the USA from the inside utilizing our schools, government and the Catholic Church.
I think all big cities shares the same kind problems. It is almost the same here in kopenhagen, but small cities are cleaner and people is more educated. I love small and medium cities in Norway like Stavanger, Begren, Arendal and Skien.
Hi Emilie :) Yes, are probably right, they are a big city challenges (even though Oslo is a very small big city;). And the cities you mention are beautiful small havens of well-being and cosiness. Talk to you soon, thanks for sharing!
I agree, I backpacked Europe for three months i was there in Oslo and pretty much all the cities have this kind of problem. This is coming from a Filipino-American.
I always enjoy the more honest, blunt and painful moments Ronald and Mads show. The funny videos are great but the brutal truths are also very refreshing.
Here in northern Virginia we have beggars at traffic intersections, specially left turn lane holding cardboard signs begging for $. We don’t have begging in the right lanes because we can make a right on red light.
Thaks for sharing your story from North Virginia. We appreciate it a lot!
We have them here also in Los Angeles.
Buick Mackane just like weeds, popping up where you don’t want them.
All of these are true in the UK too. We view ourselves so "civilised" but we're animals. We queue for buses though! Trains are a battle. We have many homeless and they are treated like vermin, there are spikes in doorways so they cannot take shelter. We are very dirty and our streets are much worse than Oslo! I am often ashamed of my nation when tourists visit. We have much natural beauty but our society is broken.
Thanks for sharing your UK story. Very interesting to read :)
London is now a 3rd world city with beautiful architecture. I don't care if I ever go there again. However Cornwall was a dream. Clean, polite, even great food! beautiful country side, great coast line so there are still pockets that are good.
I'm from the West Coast of the US and interestingly, I live in a town thats okay with beggers, however, the town next to where I live actually bans beggers. There's a sign at every major intersection in that town that say it is illegal to give anything to pedestrians, violators would face a $100 fine if they are caught. They say it's a safety issue, and thus if they want to beg in parking lots, that's fine, but they cannot at intersections. This pushed the homeless population to my town, and my town has a lot of churches, public services, and even an area just on the edge of town for homeless people to camp for the night. When the weather gets below 32 degrees farenheit (which is 0 degrees celcius), the local community college, churches, warming centers, and public service agencies open their doors to allow homeless people to sleep for the night so they don't freeze.
In my personal experience, most of the homeless people are very polite, so I'm not really scared if I walk pass a group of them. Sometimes, I give them my left over foods or hand warmers, and they're very kind. There are some drug addicts, but often times the town's public safety security men will call a local public service agency to pick them up and get them the help they need.
I’m an American. I live near Chicago. We give food and money to people begging. As a result there are LOTS of beggars in Chicago. We also have many programs to help beggars find food and shelter.
I just found your channel and love it!!!
I love watching your channel. You are so funny.
I've never given much thought about Norway until I found your channel. Now I want to come visit Norway.
I'm really surprised 😄 Tq for the infor. Really informative 😁
In the US I noticed people put old chewing gum under tables in restaurants and bars. Not that I've never stepped on gum on the street. My parents used to own a pub and it was my job to remove the gum.
I'm confused. If everyone is equal then why do people behave so dreadfully towards the beggars. We do have problems in Melbourne with homeless setting up wherever they like and refusing to move on. There are people who are happy to encourage them to stay, but most don't like them being there, especially when they become nasty and harass people. The genuine ones are happy to be helped with emergency accomodation, but others want to be where the money is. I'm horrified that anyone would spit on another person or even spit.
Good and important question! Thanks for sharing your story
Always waiting for ur new videos
Hei 13 13,, we are always waiting for your comments. Always nice to us. You are a great subscriber 🤗
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY wow that's feel so spacial u said.. thxxx for that and i also glad I found your Channel and always love your videos
A few years ago the plaza in the harbour area of Stavanger was resurfaced in beautiful basalt slabs within a few weeks it was a mess from gum, spilt food, beer etc. Looked a right mess.
I have compassion for the homeless because each of them became homeless through different circumstances in their lives, and it's not just because they are "lazy bums who don't want to work." When I have extra things like blankets, food, socks, gloves, scarves, paper products, I bring them in my car and find out what they need and help out when I can. When I can, if I go through a fast-food restaurant, I buy an extra sandwich in case I see a homeless person. And this just happened about a week ago. I had an extra hamburger and I saw this person and brought the burger to them. He remarked that it was "still warm." He called me an angel, but I'm not, in no way. Just a small act of kindness and kindness can go a long way. May one of your fellow Norwegians never come into need lest the person who used to be your neighbor and friendly now ends up spitting on you because you fell upon hard times or went through a tragedy and lost everything. How sad... : (
❤❤
Sadly, I always thought people with signs begging for food actually wanted food... then one day I was sitting in the car at a shopping center eating a burger for lunch when this lady and 3 kids walk up. She gives me this whole "we're starving, my kids need food... please help" and I guess she thought I was going to give her cash but I don't usually carry cash. I had a bag with 3 more burgers so I offered it, she took it like I Had just offered her a bag of poop, threw it at the kid in the basket she had them in (shopping basket) and barely hissed an angry thanks at me before leaving. I could hear her under her breath (not very quietly) calling me a cheap b- and hoping the next person had cash. :/
she also told them "don't eat the burgers" when the kid asked to eat them. They were actually hungry and she refused to take food that wasn't opened (still wrapped from the place I bought them in the bag) because she was a stingy B who wanted cash for gawd knows what
@@bluegirlgraphics I'm sorry you had that experience. I never have. Of the homeless that I have come across in my city, they do not say anything to me. They are just sitting there and I come up to them and ask them what do they need. Some wanted something to eat. Others just accepted any food I gave to them. Once in a while I have some cash that I will share, but they did not ask for it. One man was trying to get ready for winter to shield himself from the cold, wind, and rain, so I gave him two tarps I had in my car. He thanked me for them. I've been looking for him to see how he is doing, but haven't seen him. I always ask their name and tell them mine. They are not an IT. One man has severe ADHD and dyslexia and he said when his mother died, she had money for him but his grandmother stole all of it and he was left out on the street. He needs help with his ADHD. Nice man, has a positive outlook, was singing country songs for me and appreciated anything I brought him. I've also been looking for him. I'm relieved we don't have brutal winters where I live but it can still get very cold. But you know, there will always be some that are scammers. That sounds like what you encountered. Please don't rule them all out based on that one experience. You have a good and willing heart, but no one likes to be taken advantage of or be played the fool. : (
So, Oslo is like almost every other European city? Come over to Edinburgh during the damned festival and let me know how you get on. Buy you a beer and a deep fried mars bar....
Here in Australia:
The streets (in cities such as Sydney) are mostly the same in terms of cleanliness. One difference is we have people who are employed to clean the streets.
People who walk through red lights are crazy because half the time the cars won't stop.
Beggers/The Homeless are generally left alone/ignored but sometimes they are given money.
Public transport is also similar to what is shown in the video: people don't really care about who was there first they just walk on and off as they please.
Keep up the good content, it's really interesting learning about Norway since I have ancestry that goes back there :)
Very interesting to read about Sydney! I can understand why Norwegians feel at home there when on vacation. Luckily we laeve the beggars alone now. When we recorded this video, there had been a documentary on TV about them, and the after effect was not that nice..
Here in the USA we have homeless people, tent cities under bridges, and on/off ramps. I never see anyone spit or throw things on a poor person here, that's awful! We don't know their story, or how they became homeless, so we have more of a concern for them. There are many reasons. In fact I know someone who took a street person under her wing, and found a small apartment for her and provided her clothing and more, got her the proper assistance and she did very well there. The homeless that sit around on sidewalks are sometimes allowed to stay or are asked to move by security. Local churches and shelters give out food and sometimes provide a bed. We have fund raising for local food banks. Donations can be sent by mail or you can drop off non perishable food items.
I don't think it's that common that beggars are spit on in Norway. Of course everyone should be treated with respect, and it's horrible whenever beggars, homeless people and drug addicts are treated as lesser humans than everyone else.
We have homeless shelters, soup kitchens etc. in Norway as well. We have mutch better social security systems and a wellfare state in Norway. I don't want to give the impression that I'm arrogant or elitist. Most beggars and homeless people and beggars in Norway are either drug addicts or Roma people from Romania and Bulgaria (who travel to Norway to beg). Some of the Roma people probably are here out of necessity because of negligence by their native countries, others are part of organised crime.
I have noticed in Bergen that all the beggars are professional beggars that get picked up in Mercedes or VW vans at the end of the day and if you follow one of the vans they always go to fairly nice big houses which I find really funny for beggars
Yes that story was in the news. We have open borders with EU
New intro animation looks awsome
I know Mads love your comment!! He is very talented when it comes to this
i also love it, so norwegain (so shocking that is and non-happy)
"Norwegian people stick out their thumb to make up a count of four" what a shock!
Here in the Philippines, fighting your way off or onto the train used to be a thing too, until a few years ago when we suddenly copied the Thai and Singaporean system: they drew a few lines pointing off/onto the train, approximately where the doors would be when the train stopped, and they got a platform guard to enforce lines. Much, much better now. I don't know if you can apply it to trams.
We are also anarchists when crossing the street, except for in my town, where they seriously started jailing and fining jay-walkers. It's a useful skill, tho: I was in tour group of Americans in Paris, and we would have never gotten anywhere if I didn't take the lead crossing the streets. In Paris, cars don't obey lights either, it seems.
I live in Singapore. Begging is kinda illegal but what people do is they “sell” tissues. You’ll find old people or handicapped people selling tissues or other trinkets and people who want to patronise them will just buy from them although the tissues are usually more expensive than ones in the supermarket. Singaporeans usually follow traffic rules but you will find a few odd people breaking the law and jaywalking from time to time. They are also quite civilised about letting people off trains and buses before embarking. Streets are not as dirty because it’s actually illegal to chew gum here and smoking in most public areas is also prohibited. But you will find a few odd instances of littering once in a while.
Thanks for taking time and effort sharing your story 👌😃
This is what I've learned from the video:
1) Norway, perhaps other Scandinavian countries also, are not like Germany, where Germans are efficient and rule abiding
2) Social Welfare doesn't prevent people from becoming poor
3) Society based on everyone being equal and included is does not exist but merely is political speech
In Canada there are beggars and drug addicts but they mostly live in Vancouver (West Coast) and only some live in other Cities. We also do not pretend we are all equal economically and socially, we are only equal in the law and socially we have no cast system and our educational and career system is flexible, as opposed to vertical system only and not allowing horizontal jump or change such as Germany or Japan.
When waiting for the bus or any sort of thing that we are required to wait we make a line or a queue, no cutting lines. Which is weird because the stereotype is that nations in which they are homogeneous like the Scandinavian Countries agree pretty much in almost everything while heterogeneous nations are more disordered and do not agree on most things. Canada and Switzerland are heterogeneous yet appears to be more orderly than the Scandinavians, the only exceptional Countries in terms of Order is Germany, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
In Canada, you will be surprised that it is actually a Nation of immigrants and every city is different from another due to our large land mass and the concentration of ethnic races vary from province to province, such as Quebec has more French and Haitian, and Arab Immigrants, British Columbia has more Hong Kong millionaire expats, and South Asians (Indians), Ontario has mostly every ethnicity, and Manitoba and Saskatchewan has more Filipino immigrants, and so on.
We recently have made Marijuana Federally Legal and you can buy some in Provincially Owned Stores. Strip Bars in Quebec allows you to touch the dancers but apparently it is forbidden in the USA, not an expert on this, someone told me about it. You can actually experience -30 deg Celsius in Canada.
In Canada you can actually feel your in a different country if you move to one Province to another. What is shocking is that the majority of Canadians do not want to admit that the USA greatly influences their views and society and that Canadians are not that different from Americans which Canadians hate to admit. Canada does not like the USA but relies on the USA for economic reasons and Military reasons, we do not have a Satellite system and we are piggy backing from all the American infrastructure. Although we did invent the smartphone (BlackBerry), Basketball, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse , and Insulin. Also that most Canadian Actors, Business Men, and Inventors go to the USA because it is 10x the market size of Canada.
What I want to know is how much aware are Scandinavians that almost all their technology came from the USA?
And we learnt a lot about Canada in your comment! Thanks rythmeandaacoustics! We share the difficult and complicated relationship with the United States and American influence. We believe we are independent and represent a kind of unique Norwegian culture. It is not true. We are highly Americanized and our defense is dependent on NATO and the United States. Deep inside we know that all the technology belongs to the US, but we ignore it in our daily life and talk. You make me want to visit Canada and hope I can do that one day. Always great to read your thoughts and reflections - keep them coming!
Here in Florida beggars/homeless people are treated with a moderate amount of respect generally speaking. There are shelters provided by various charity organizations. There are areas that they are not allowed but in Orlando there are actually designated areas for them 😱. Most of them have drug addictions or psychological issues (hence the homeless situation) so I tend to give them food if I have it rather than money.
Love your channel, dude; I always laugh a lot while watching your video Hahahaha, salute from Honduras!🇭🇳
Awesome to hear Rigoberto Gomez! Muchas gracias. Salud 🍻
Great videos man , love your presentation style but you should try getting on bus where I am right now 🤣
The way he spit totally cracks me up!
This was a wonderful introspection!
Well done.....it's not easy to look into the mirror and see yourself!
But compared to us in South Africa.......you are still a very civilised nation!!!
Sugarman.. wont ya help me?
In Yorkshire we give beggars and street people food and hot drinks although we are warned about organised begging. Some of the drug addicts can be intimidating though, especially the zombies.
*If you spit on a "begger" in NYC you will get stabbed.* It also goes for Boston where I lived for 15 years. In Orlando where I'm now it's 50/50.
I live near San Francisco and the most shocking thing there, for me, is the human waste on the streets. Every time I go into SF I have to avoid at least one pile of human waste on the sidewalk. During the Fall we get our first rain after many months of no rain and the whole city smells bad after. I have heard that the city is putting in more restrooms for the homeless so that they don't just go on the street, but I haven't seen any improvement yet.
Hi Polly, happy to hear from you again. And now I am kind of shocked when it comes to SF. Both you and the comment under, from Anthony describe your dirty experiences from SF. I really thought it was the cleanest city in the States.. Thanks for sharing!
I'm from Northern CA and I won't set foot in SF. One of the worst places on the planet.
I did indeed subscribe. In the United States we obviously have "beggars." Some people think this is the result of the cost of housing. I think this idea is inadequate to explain the problem. The true nature of it is a total failure to provide mental health care, which is like a fantasy dream compared to basic medical services. Considering that we are a country that presupposes that you should be employed to be granted healthcare in general, mental health care is a total non-starter. There are essentially no mechanisms whatsoever to encourage street people to seek assistance for mental health evaluations, treatment, job training, or anything else that would be a common sense solution. Our most liberal cities, such as San Francisco, throw endless money at the idea of helping the homeless, but it is continually squandered. It has become a sort of industry of its own, ineffectually "helping the homeless." The pattern continues because actually taking care of the incompetent is costly, but making bold claims about solving the situation can be profitable. The chief cause is political corruption. I believe the solution is voting for candidates that actually support positive change, and ignoring the cries that it's "too far left/progressive" to win.
Very insightful story! Thanks a lot for taking time and effort sharing it with us
Thank you for your honesty. Thanks for the insight on this part of your country.
I am binge watching your videos and really enjoying them!
We love your engagement! Very motivating to hear. Thanks!!
Jay walking is illegal in the UK, and our country is absolutely filthy, I'm ashamed of the state of the roadsides and streets. Full of litter and dog dirt. I'm half German and Iv'e lived here most of my life apart from two years in Germany and I loathe it. We also have beggers in Scotland, they get dropped off in BMW's and get picked up again in the evening. I give to charity but nothing to beggers because they are con people. You see drug addicts everywhere, they queue up outside the chemist every morning to get their methadone. Having lost two family members to drug associated deaths, it makes me very sad because it was an uncle and nephew, who died very young but decades apart. It can affect anyone from any walk of life.
I fell in love with Norway when I watched skam. But, takk for the eye opener, no city is perfect. Have you watched skam?
We love SKAM!!! Thanks for engaging 🤗🤗
Really? Those are the 5 bad things about your country? 😂
How much is a ticket to your paradise? Can you please find me a job there? I'll promise to learn norwegian as fast as I can 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Such a cool and funny comment on our naivety. If you learn Norwegian the job is yours!
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I will. I'll be in touch with you soon 😁
What dirtbowl do you live on. I’ll be sure not to visit!
Teewriter what area in your state is the cleanest. I would like to move to a more civilized area
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY I'm not very tech-savvy, so I answer under your comment. It sounds/looks as though there aren't enough buses there (Oslo/Norway). I live in Tx, and there's no such thing as reliable public transportation. We all drive cars. Thank god for that. Bullets are being built all over the US (certain cities, and not the ones that actually need it such as LA).
This was pretty informative please keep making more videos about Norway I wanna learn a lot more about Norway
I'm from Perth in Australia. We have a lot beggars on our street and shopping centres. They seem to be ignored. Most of them look pretty healthy, they must be doing alright I hope. Refugees are looked after if they get to stay, I think the detention centres are hard for them, they're in them for years. Love the videos
People, especially small children should not be exposed to expectorants and other filth on ground. Have schoolchildren make fun signs promoting clean public spaces and post the signs in street and mass transit. China stopped public spitting in just a few years, Noway can too.
Adroit .... That's a great idea. -- put adults to shame by children! couldn't believe those that spit phlegm and gum in their beautiful streets could do it without a thought or conscience .
Public spitting, cigarettes, and chewing gum left on the sidewalk remind me of the streets here in the States during the 1950s, when I was a child. There was also dog poo left around.
As far as being able to safely cross the streets, that varies from one state to the next. In many areas in Texas, it is illegal for a pedestrian to cross the street. They sometimes build bridges for the lowly pedestrians, but the rest of the time they are expected to stay on their side of the street, unless they are in a car.
In Vermont, you can cross anywhere - they'll stop for you. It's all good.
Yes, we have beggars in California. I have taught my children to give what and when we can - even if it is just a pumpkin pie on our way home from Thanksgiving dinner. When we have so much, it is important to help others who are less fortunate or going through a tough time - even if they are drunks or drug addicted or homeless.
@HJAA In discussion last night with my ex-boyfriend (half Norwegian) about your wonderful channel and what I am learning, we came to the conclusion that it must be the Roma - or nomadic peoples and not Norwegian citizens. But my ex-BF pointed out that with the support of the state in Norway (Socialism), no one should need to beg unless they are somehow out of the system (ie. foreigners). In that way, he understood the potential for resentment. But ... I have always wondered about racism in Norway.
I love the way Ronald acts out! It's so funny! Hehehe.
That is very sad to spit on another human being. I am glad I am not living in Norway. In my country we do not do that we respect and give them some alms.We respect the human race.
Trust me it's very rare to see people spit in beggars it's mostly young adults thinking they are super cool who do it so don't think everone do that because I've never seen it here
On*
This system will not work in Japan.
We mainly ignore beggars. Sometimes people will give them money / food / clothes, but most people just walk by or drive by.
But, there are many places in the US that have laws forbidding giving food or money to the homeless. One WW2 veteran was arrested because of it and it made headlines. It depends on the city / county / state though, they all have different laws and ordinances.
Grand Rapids we keep ministries open but so cold my god, 50 C below and the homeless don’t like the shelters.
I really love the " tiny home village" concept I've seen. Give people their own roof, privacy, etc. No building permits necessary!
Nooooooo! 😱😱😱😱 you have destroyed my perfect image of Norway!!!! Thats it all my Norwegian fishing holidays have been cancelled now! Lol 😂 dirty streets, drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals etc, I thought you were talking about my home city "Liverpool" 😂🤣😂
To be honest most big cities are the same and probably a lot, lot worse than Oslo I won't even mention our capital city!!!! On a positive note the majority people of Liverpool are very friendly, funny, helpful and nice people even so I still think Norway is one best places in the world! Great video Ronald as per usual and hi to Mads keep them coming guys 😉😁😁😁🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴👌👍
I know. We know nothing about the world 🤣🤣 It must be our naivety that make us your nr 1. Always appreciate your comments and love for Norway 🤗
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY till next time my Norwegian friends! 😉😁😍🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴❤👌👍
Oslo differs alot compared to trondheim thats where i live i kind of agree with the garbage and trash thing but its rare here and in trondheim everyone waits till the light turns green to cross its only a few people maximum 3 ish who would just cross on the red light also in trondheim public busses when people get off everyone gives them space and then everyone gets on without making a hassle and stopping others from getting on
Thanks for sharing your story from Trondheim. You are adding substance to our video. Its true, most cities in Norway are both clean, calm and polite. Oslo is more like a big city, urban jungle. And you know what, I love Oslo for that :) :)
Very very interesting video, Ronald. We imagine Norway being perfect, a paradise, an example of society, but the truth is that nowhere is perfect. Good to see a bit of Norway throught another point of view. Love your videos!
Hi junior jacobson, we are so happy to hear that. Thanks a lot for your cool & kind comment :) :)
Most of the time in the US (at least in Wl) those who would be beggars get debit cards to take care of their basic needs.
Well, Like another commenter said, only 5 bad things in Norway? That IS a paradise! But soo cold brrrrrrr! In my country of USA and Puerto Rico, it is very diverse so it can be very violent crimes and many poor, or can be very pretty,open and safe.. Depends.
I thought spitting in the street was bad enough - but spitting on people??? Horrendous. Sounds like a middle eastern country, not Scandinavia.
Hate and right-wing xenophobia is unfortunately spreading across europe again. Scandinavia has not been spared.
It's not the case. Damn this channel - "irresponsible" satire leads to false myths...
I'm norwigian and never seen that before so don't think that you will see it when going there
Wow so interesting to learn about Ronald’s different ethnicities in the description, must give him a unique perspective
I Love your channel I am still going through your videos they are so informative, you do a awesome job with your content. Norway is a country that pretty much keeps a low profile I am learning so much Thanks.
Seattle streets are four times worse, visually looks many degrees worse of homelessness but people at least most are not rude, crossing against a red light really doesn't happen much here, but in San Francisco around the 90's in Chinatown needed to start issuing jaywalking tickets, not at corners but for the middle section of the street even these very narrow streets people would get run over as they jaywalked, also in Chinatown they would gave tickets to people for spitting this was around early 80's I would see my godfather who lived in Chinatown spit on the section where cars are parked. Same in Chinatown as a teen I would get pushed trying to get on the bus from older Chinese citizens, one day I pushed an old person (not hard more of a nudge) her look was shock and I understood and remember that in China it is that way in there transportation and I never
nudge another senior.
1) Everyone is equal. But some are more equal than others. It's a myth.
2) Oslo and Oslo behaviour does not represent all of Norway.
FACT : The majority of people I see "Spitting" in Norway are foreigners from Middle East and North Africa. Just because someone has a Norwegian passport does not make them Norwegian. Spitting is NOT part of Norwegian culture or sociology.
3) Much of the drugs is being sold by foreigners like those mentioned above.
4) Again, Oslo and Oslo drivers do not represent the whole of Norway. It's only in Oslo that people walk out in front of cars. The remains of the country is polite and well mannered.
5) Beggars are mostly well organised professional full time beggars. The beggars are doing a job. They are paid to beg.
6) Oslo people are seen by most Norwegians as arrogant and pushy. Only in Oslo do the people create havoc on public transport.
Ronald and Mads - I congratulate you both on making 2 videos about the real Norway.
You're almost there. You just need to get out of Oslo.
Ade you don't live in Oslo. Fact: only Norwegians/scandinavians spit snus/ gum. Foreigners don't. Merry god jul to deg 🎅🎅
I lived in Oslo for awhile.
Yes, of course Norwegians Spit but I find it is mostly middle-eastern people who are spitting and leaving rubbish for the Kommune to pick up.
That's just a truthful point of fact
YOU'VE JUST DESCRIBE LONDON...
Its interesting.keep rolling bro 👍
Thanks a lot hendro cahyo nugoho, we will :)
I think most of these problems are minimized outside Oslo. But still, a funny and engaging social commentary!
I never spit on beggars or talk badly to them. I even give them some money if I have sometimes. :)
Torhild Sageng Hansen then you’re part of the problem. Beggars in a country like Norway are already massively propped up by the overly generous welfare net. You’re merely encouraging the advantageous begging.
You may actually be right to some degree. But I see no need to spit on them or call them names...
@@wmwarner9196 That's actually incorrect. Atleast in case of a foreign homeless person. They do not recieve social benefits like child allowance, cash support etc. If they recieved help from NAV (Norwegian Work and Welfare Agency) they would've been employed and/or sometimes housed in a government housing complex. There is few immigrant homeless people who get this opportunity because they lack education, work experience etc. which is important in whether you recieve support or not.
Another New video after a long time.... Bodø IS a NICE AND CLEAN city 🙏☺️
Yes, Bodø is very nice. Thanks a lot for engaging :)
Agreed. Bodø is awesome!
I most admit I'm utter shocked and disgusted about the behavior of (rich) Norwegians towards the beggars and the poor! Just to share my pov, I'm from a small town in Portugal, lived in Lisbon (the capital) for 5 years and I never saw or heard anyone spit or address badly beggars. Maybe I'm naive, or I just didn't walk much around areas with beggars, but I'm so shocked that Norwegians would do that. Am I saying we do the right thing in Portugal? No. Because most just ignore people in the street, however is truly sever to spit or talk badly to those people that need help. More and more I'm trying to dismantle this idea that Norway is perfection, because is of course not. However, is really hard to hear that people that supposedly have more education and live in more equal country than most would do that! In anyway, I think is really important that you shedding some light into this issues and share the reality, not just the good aspects. Tusen takk for arbeidet ditt!
I come from Dundee, Scotland. It's one thing to ignore beggers, but pretty sure I would smack anyone I saw spitting on a homless person. How disgusting.
You really let me understand so much. #4 about the homeless. My Grandfather was from Norway and married my grandmother an Irish girl. My mother believes that his mother forced a divorce( in the early 1920s because she was a dirty little Irish Catholic girl. My mother felt his mother felt that she was so much better being a Norweigian Lutheran. Lol I thought oh yes there was a lot of that then. Your other video you mentioned hos cheap we all are and I will vouch that it carried through my DNA
Snoose? I remember my Norwegian Grampa called snuff "snoose." I always wondered why. Very dirty habit.
If you walk against traffic lights in Canada, you take your life into your hands. Beggars are tolerated but unwanted.
Drug addicts can go to "safe injection sites" in the big cities. People spit all over the sidewalks here too. Also a very dirty habit. There used to be bylaws against it, but either they are gone or not upheld.
Great story, thanks for sharing
Most big, Western cities have laws against spitting in the streets, but often the laws, either officially or unofficially, are only enforced during an epidemic. In the U.S., spitting laws were last enforced during the Spanish Flu epidemic circa 1918.
omg the inability of people to queue in Oslo! as a British person, I am amazed. Even where there are gates and fences and things designed to help people form a coherent pattern, instead people just mass together in a disorganised blob, jostling for whoever can shove past first. Everybody for themselves.
Very accurate description of life in Oslo in the rush hour. Its like you are describing a Viking raid to Ireland ;) Thanks for sharing your story, we love it!
I just want to thank the very kind lady facing me on the sidewalk in Oslo who saw how close I was standing to the edge and she pulled me over just before the streetcar/tram could cut off my arm. TAKK kind lady!
You called the poor people beggars. In the United States, we have homeless people. Some of them do beg, but most have pretty much given up on the system. Then there are the people with signs, on corners and at exits from stores. They say things like: "stranded, need gas to get home" or "hungry, please help" or there is even some who say "I am honest, I want beer!"
But our homeless situation is bad. Some cities have tried banning homeless camps, and sleeping in doorways. But the homeless shelters never have enough beds. In big cities, it can get like your transportation rudeness, homeless people trying to be first into the shelters, so they can have a warm, sometimes safe, place to sleep! Our representatives and senators want to help. But the corporations do not want to pay their fair share; and the super rich, the 1%, want to avoid paying ANY taxes, if they can!
I'm from the US New England to be exact and we try to get ordinances to have the panhandlers removed. And yes we have them standing outside of supermarkets with signs with a sob story. They could go into the supermarket and apply for a job but choose not to. There are people that make a career out of panhandling.
I see this in my city too Bonnie. People don't want them around and expect them to magically disappear. Even making laws against them, police are unsympathetic. I understand the frustration.
I find that most people (esp. non native speakers) use the word "beggars" while Americans prefer terms like "panhandlers" and "homeless people"
In 2017, the top 1% of income earners paid more taxes than the bottom 90% combined. This 1% of the population paid 38% of all taxes collected. It's ignorant to assert that they don't pay their "fair" share. The homeless can't be helped by simply giving them a house to live in, unless you also pay all their other expenses, like electricity, water, etc., not to mention property taxes. Our culture has many problems, but throwing money at those problems is short sighted. We need responsible parents who train their children to become responsible adults, and who love and cherish their children. If every child was born into a family with a mother and a father who act like adults, our problems would disappear.
@@morenamad9182 In your research about how much taxes the 1% paid, did you compare all the taxes, not just federal tax, but state income tax, and sales, and property tax, what is the percentage of the income? The taxes paid compared to income works out to a much higher percentage for the middle and lower class, than for the 1%.
It used to be that the American Dream was available to the middle class, the hope of being able to buy their own home, and to have a nest egg they could add to every payday. That is no longer the case for the most part.
Never clicked on a video so fast!
Super comment, thanks 🤩
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY AWESOME!!!! Thank You!
That was so hilarious when you talked about drug addiction and the girl opening the box takes out a nail polish 😅
Thank you so much for this video. Would love to visit Norway soon ;) BEST VIDEO EVER !!!! THANKS from Belgium 🇧🇪
I like to take risk when walking and cross the street whenever I want. I also noticed that in Germany people expected you to stop an red lights, even if no vehicle isn't even visible. They also expect you to ride a bike with the front and rear lights on at night even if you ride on the bike lane.
We have beggars in our country. But nobody cares about them
Since it's winter here now, I think they still get some money, or else they would have left already. Minus 10 is hard when you don't have roof and walls
Nick Eh 31 same
Being mean to beggars that made me very sad, there are so many reasons why people beg or are poor, mental health, exploitation, war, abuse 😨😭😭😭😭😢😢. It can happen to anyone. I love you honesty about your country and I really enjoy your posts. Keep up the good work.
True words. Thanks a lot for sharing your story and being awesome 😃
My favorite lie about people begging is, “they make more money in a day than you do” and other justifications to not help.
