It's CRAZY to say that we "don't have amazon" in Norway. Amazon is in every country, we just don't have same day delivery, which is exploitative of the delivery workers anyway, so it's not really a loss.
Thats because Oslo has lost its origin culture because Of urbanization and multicultural combination everywhere in a radius of probably 400km from my city its normal
@@problemx3526 I don't think the amount of snow cares about urbanization and multicultural combination...If it's a lot of snow, theres a LOT of snow, nothing one can do about the weather to just "fix it". People wouldn't be skiing in the streets of Oslo unless it's absolutely necessary (or one just simply enjoys skiing without a lot of snow).
@SindreHalvorsen Yes, why would you go skiing if you can take a bus. Last winter it was horrible with all the snow and electric buses, so your own transportation could easily be ski's.
@@TullaRask exactly. The one day after the worst was "over" in 2023 and one of the leaders at Ruter said "next time, we are prepared", followed by the next day where trams, busses and subway all stopped. Also, there are people who rather go skiing or what-have-you than pay to take public transportation.
These rural grocery stores have cameras so you are being monitored. And they know if you pay or not as you get registered when you used the debit/credit card to enter. These stores are for low demand areas or places with a few cabins up in the mountain. Better than having to drive another 30-60 minutes to the nearest store.
Electric scooters have become completely normal here. Not cool, not lame, just normal. Everyone either own one or rents one, when they need to, from the many app based rental companies here.
@@clara.a4555 I wouldn't be surprised. I only know how it is here in Norway though, so didn't want to assume for the rest of the Nordics. I do know they are banned in some continental European cities though.
I mean many european countries don't have their own designated website for amazon but can easily get amazon products by german, french, spanish, italian and other amazons to their country. which is kinda good coz it's bigger market they cover and quantity usually makes prices lower. but yea there are other websites than amazon. if I can I buy elsewhere.
In Norway, we use the 24 hour clock system when we write time and 12 hour clock system when we talk verbally. No one goes and say 14 hundred hour when we mean 2 o'clock. That we use 24 hour system when we talk is just not true
In Slovenia we use both verbally but 12 hour is more often used, ( 4 in afternoon, 8 in evening, 9 in morning ) and for when we write it's always 24 hour system. I think in most of Europe it's like that.
Bunads can be very expensive, but you have a costume to wear for weddings and other special events. No need to buy anything. It can even be extended most of the time.
I often mistake the two - the Main Coons have slightly more angular chins, while the Forestcat has a more pointed chin, but they are both big, strong cats with impressive fur, ruffs and often ear tufts as well.
The ''Trust and Honour'' system in Norwegian society is something that actually goes back 1000 of years, back to the Viking Age. If you were not a honourable and trustworthy member of society back then you would be banished and thrown out of your clan/group/village and made a ''Skogsmann'' (Forest Man), forcing you to live out the rest of your life alone in the wilderness, where you'd most likely die from starvation or the cold. These criminals would also be physically branded by hot metal on a visible place of their body, like their face, with a distinctive ''brand'' of a ''Skogsmann'', so if you tried to seek shelter or buddy up to another clan/group/village to survive, they would see that you were an exile and know you were not to be trusted or taken in.
It was a good system, maybe we should go back to it. Being honest and not steal, is not too much to ask. But perhaps give people a chance to change their ways before branding:D
Right, responding as you often suggest. 1. Skis in the street is not uncommon when there's snow and you don't have a long commute. It isn't common for someone to ski to the store, but when they do it is common to unhook them and stand them outside or in the entry area so you don't ruin them or track snow fully inside. Same for work. 2. Scooters are common, especially the electrical kind in the last years. Not just for teens, though these are the primary target consumer. I own one myself and am older than even two teens put together. I use mine mostly to commute for work when it's nice out and I'm short on time (normally I walk), or to truly test its limits I ride it to the next town and see how economical I can be with the battery to make it back without running out. There are rental scooters strewn around bigger towns, which will unlock through a special app; just unlock it for a while (and pay through the app) and abandon it in plain view when you're done, so other consumers nearby can pick it up and ride it some more, or so that people employed by the service can fetch the scooter for recharge. 3. It's a language, or a regional dialect. Sounds like he's from the south-west area of Norway, the Rogaland area, maybe Stavanger or Sandnes. "Det e skikkelig gale en periode" - "It gets real bad occasionally". 4. Yes it is real, just not exactly common in the sense that there's one such place within easy reach of everyone. Just like in America, we have the occasional need to refuel (in whatever way) so some enterprising person set up a business to supply these things. And population in Norway can be deceptive to the American eye, as I've been told by at least one I've encountered. Though we only see the fuel station and a barn, chances are that area is home to a few hundred people scattered around and partially concealed by the landscape. The card tapping is a new one on me, but I guess it's a way to make sure not only that animals don't accidentally trigger the opening mechanism but also ensuring that random robberies do not occur (since the police would then immediately know the identity of the robber, just conjecture on my part), or it could be just ensuring that actual paying customers are stopping by (or that they have the means to pay, again conjecture). Ah, self service. I think it's still a way of unlocking. But if there is some discrepancy during inventory, they do have a list of potential suspects for the police to handle. So I wouldn't say it's a completely trust based system, just an unmanned one. Trust but verify, I believe is the expression. 5. Yes, Norwegian forest cat. 6. If you think Husøy is an incredible place to live, we used to (not up to date on television programming) have a show called "Der Ingen Skulle Tru At Nokon Kunne Bu" - "Where Noone Would Believe Anyone Could Live" which used to explore these out-of-the-way places to the amazement and enlightenment of the viewing public. 7. Americans in Norway: a) No, not dollars. b) Yes, loud right then, only people with some kind of hearing impariment could get away with it normally. c) We mostly do speak Enlish, but not exclusively for American tourists/students. d) Saying Hello to someone in the street is considered odd unless you know them... saying hello to someone on a hiking trail is much more common, because apparently we're more more at ease in areas of low population density and dense vegetation or rocky terrain. e) At -20 it's more or less the same in both F and C, but surprisingingly it's severeal hundred plus in K. f) Not personally familiar with that brand, though I've heard about it in passing... think it was on The Big Bang Theory. Anyway, unless your clothing is insufficient for the season or public decency only those with a special interest in clothing would comment on what you're wearing. j) Military time is standard, but I grew up using an analogue clock and was used to tacking on the general time period of the day when telling someone (four-thirty in the morning, or six-eighteen in the evening, etc). Military time is a frankly efficient way of getting around this and still give a clear indication of time: the clock goes from 00:00:00 which is midnight, to 23:59:59, which is also effectively midnight. I'm sure even American kids learn that there are 24h in a day, so figuring out the rest should be fairly easy, but i'll give it a shot anyway; 13= 1 pm, 14= 2 pm, 15= 3pm, 16=4 pm, 17= 5 pm, 18= 6 pm, 19= 7 pm, 20= 8 pm, 21= 9 pm, 22= 10 pm, 23= 11 pm. Europeans aren't that keen on using fractions in the daily. k) Sure you can walk outside and see the Northern Lights... it's just that if you are as far south as it looks then that would indicate a major solar event for its radiation to interact sufficiently with the geomagnetic field that the lights are visible outside the Polar Circle, and when you know the source of the Northern Lights they become about as pretty as watching shooting stars you know are actually the fragmented debris of a decommissioned space station. Pretty, but scary because something might go wrong. l) You might get it on Amazon, but delivery would take a while (weeks or months depending on supply and shipping issues along the way). Haven't investigated, but the closest Amazon is either in Germany or the UK. 8. Snow in Norway can get pretty high, depending on where you live and the severity of the winter. I've often been unable to see the family car as anything but a mound under knee-high depths of snow (or higher). The trick is being familiar with the terrain and carefully carve away the snow like an archaeologist approaching a find so you don't need to have the car repainted from a carelessly maneuvered shovel. It is illegal to drive any distance with snow on the roof (or windshield) due to the hazards this would present, but often a practical or lazy solution appears and is taken to save time. And for the record, even as much snow as seen in this clip would not be sufficient for a Snow Day. The only exception would be if the snow was deep enough that the only way of getting around was by tunnelling under the snow, as I've been told was necessary my first winter in life (not that I'm in a state to recall). 9. Norwegian breeds of animal. There is a folk tale or urban myth (as much as that term can be used in rural areas) that if you bother a lemming it will become so annoyed it will burst/explode, which is part of the joke in its description of cyclic population explosion. 10. The summer weather can be very temperemental, going from clear to rainy in minutes. This summer I actually experienced being surrounded by rain and thunder while being directly under a sunny clear patch... surreal. As to getting on a lot of clothing, it brings to mind something my mother used to say; better to have something you can take off than having nothing to put on. The weather can change. 11. Going to a party in winter Norway in that outfit is inviting all kinds of accidents and illness. Even stiletto heels will not have a good enough purchase on the ground to prevent slipping, and a miniskirt will not provide enough cover for sliding down a hill on the ice. Not to mention the pneumonea and urethral infection from being so exposed to the cold. There is no shame in prioritizing practicality over fashion. 12. Winter fjord landscapes can be very beautiful to watch from a distance, but like a lot of beautiful sights it's best to keep it that way and not interact, because to quote Eric Idle from a sketch on the military; That's Dangerous! 13. Most universities in Norway are built to attract students, so they will need to either constantly update their architectural style or choose one which will endure or be ahead of its time. And fortunately there are often signs directing the visitors/employees/students to where they need to go, so only in the beginning is there a chance of getting lost. But if you do, most people not actively engaged elsewhere will be more than happy (though obviously not thrilled) to either explain the corrected path or take you back to where things start making more sense. 14. Again, I recommend practicality over fashion. Even if this girl is a native (not necessarily Sami, but someone whose family has resided here for generations) this is inviting illness and injury. She might be wearing skin coloured tights or something similar, but this is not a safe look. 15. The male bunad is every bit as tricky as the female version in that they represent specific regions of the country, telling the informed viewer where they originate by the cut or style or colours. I think the reason so few men own one today is the same as for weddings; we just don't see the point in spending a lot of money on something you only wear once or twice (though the bunad would certainly see more use than the tux or dress at a wedding). Men tend to (this is based on observation) be more practical in deciding what to wear while women (again based on observation) choose something that will draw attention of men or envy of other women, which is why the female bunad is often accompanied with accessories in real silver or gold (hence the cost). Most men today wear a normal suit rather than a bunad. It's also worth noting that if you look at the American founding fathers, you will see some similarities in their articles of clothing and the male bunad, suggestiong the approximate time period the male bunad came into fashion.
The massive snowfall is not that common, at least not in the south, but it is correct that the attitude is to just "keep calm and carry on". But of course it causes a lot of delays, so schools may close while show clearing machinery work day and night to remove the snow. There is no way you can dig out your car if the snow clearing machinery has not cleared the roads first. In the last decades some winters have had almost no snow in the lowlands in the south. "Bare frost" can be practically convenient, but also may kill off much more perennial plants. A decent stable level of snow, like we like to think there used to be in the past, if our memory serves us right, can be a useful insulator up against the walls of houses, saving both plants and energy bills.
@@bearofthunder so true. I really misses the winters with snow and stabil winters without Rain and then cold again so all is ice. Really beautiful with winters if its snow. Not everybody hates winters. A lot of us loves them and im so happy we have 4 seasons even if almost every you tube channel think that its snow almost year around and it pisses me off.
Yeah this is not something the the average Norwegian experiences during winter. Just like Alaska does not represent the experiences of an average American.
@@667buddySame, those were the best winters ever! Lots of snow all winter long. I remember metre-high plow edges in our driveway as a kid. 😅 Not something you see often now. Except for 2018 though, we had 2,5 metres of snow in our driveway 😂
Be careful if the Bunads Police discover that you have a Bunad sewn in China, they cost much less and the Bunads Police keep an eye on what people are wearing and can see if a Bunad is not handmade. Bunads Police is a Norwegian joke that maybe only we Norwegians understand.
Many small islands have bridge acess to the mainland and the nearby islands. My home town lies on 2 islands + mainland. We do have Amazon but slower delivery since we order from UK. We can also order from a big selection of national online stores. We often use military time for meetings. Your doctor appointment or work meeting will be listed in military time. But we also use 12 hour clock + day/evening. The rules of bunad are handmade based on a set, local pattern. The patterns are sold by Husfliden. They also give their stamp of approval for new bunads or alterations for old ones. For instance using a new colour.
11:37 That massive snow fall happened last winter in the southern part of Norway, and it was all over the news because the infrastructure kneeled due to the massive snow fall. People had to stay home from work, schools closed etc. Some people even had to use the windows on the 1st floor to get out of their homes. But not something that happens regularly, even though there are places that have 5-6 meters with snow during winter, but that is during the whole season, not in a couple of days like in this clip
Of course ALL norwegian ski ALL the time including indoors during winter. Norwegian winter gets so cold that theres snow inside too. We make little campfires at the foot of our beds to keep from freezing to death 😝😝
7:44 There was a Norwegian woman in American and we leave our babies outside and she did that and it got kidnapped😬 8:12 Houseisland island lol 11:45 Our 3rd and 4th grade teacher told our class to go grab our shovels and help her dig her car out because it was stuck in the snow lol! We had a great day, got to climb on top of it and we took pictures:D 14:34 Yes 15:44 When I heard remember I was like: It’s a credit card:D 16:34 as a Norwegian I just can’t get cold and never ever cold ever on my body from my feet to head lol!
The Island is Husøy on Senja. Senja is a amazing Island with amazing nature and adventures. The best parts doesnt have road, you go with boat to this places.
We don't have our own Amazon, but both UK, French, and German Amazon will happily send goods our way (some of the partners/client companies on there won't). It just takes a few days. Even the US Amazon is available.. shipping just is a bit pricey at that distance.

What's so amazing about Amazon? We have Komplett and hundreds of other web stores, I don't even see why Amazon would be needed. I don't like how they're becoming such a monopoly in many countries... It's just.. too much.
I believe the tapping of the card keeps track of who's been inside the store, however... Norwegian society is built upon trust and honour, so it's not uncommon to see this sort of things and self-check out systems. In regular grocery stores too, you barely see much staff around except those who fill up new wares, I haven't interacted with staff in a grocery/convenient store for over 3 years I believe, as I always use the self-check out system whenever I pay for my stuff.

I purposefully try to use the old school registers as much as I can, it's not every time but often enough. It doesn't occur to you that it's just nice with a bit of human contact + some of them actually need the job?
In Norway, you have to be 18 years old to get a driver's license, unlike in the US, which is 16 years old. The young people then ride electric kick bikes. Love and Respect from Norway.
ive been told, once on our private owned dirt road, the snow got so tall, that the previous house owners once dug a tunnel through a particular snowdrift on the road, instead of digging the whole drift away.
Love this and brings back great memories of my grandparents. One grandfather was from Norway (Tonsburg) and the grandfather was from Sweden (Oskarshamm). Both grandmothers were from Sweden.
A friend of mine has his caravan in the mountains, and one year he took a winter holiday there. And during that week (9 days) he shoveled a total of 1.5 meters of snow both on the car and the caravan
Lots of electric scooters in Sweden too. Everywhere! You can just pick one, rent it for where ever you are going and leave it there for the next person. You pay with an app. But lots of people also have their own electrical scooters.
The most interesting part about all that snow isn't how much of it there is, but the fact that this isn't a rare occurrence and that we have to go to work/school still. Snow day? Pfft...
13:16 don’t be fooled, living in northern Norway above the polar circle, I can say I’ve never experienced this much snow in the past 1,5 decade. That must have been on the mountains after a several day snowstorm 😉
I've met several Americas at a black-metal Viking festival, a few are among my best friends now. NEVER have I met a rude, loud or in any way bothersome American. Just great people, every single one I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Skiing in the streets isn't something you would USUALLY see on a regular, but... It's not uncommon or unheard of either. If I was walking down the streets and someone came walking on skiis, it's not like I would look at the person twice or anything, because it wouldn't be something ''out of place''.
There are many dialects in Norway, so the language is very diverse. This dialect is from western Norway (Bergen). Most countries in Europa have standardised their language whilst Norway is one if the few that have kept and accepted differences. There are also two different written languages. One is a mix of the dialects and the other is a more standardised version of the spoken language around the capital (oslo).
The "honor system" stores have cameras hand they have your card on file if you steal anything, so its not really honor based. Those types of stores are litterally in the middle of nowhere and having personell working there 24/7 for the few people who come over there would be alot more expensive than geting a few items stolen.
I don't think Norwegians are more trustworthy than others. That store is very unique, also in Norway. I am quite sure that it has been someone who has either thought about or even tried to steal goods from the store, but it is probably designed in such a way that it is locked and you cannot get out until you have paid.
I will say this depends on where you live though. My experience is that Norway and Usa is very similar in this regard. I have been to small villages in Minnesota where they just park their car outside the store, not locking the car doors or windows. When I asked them why they didn't lock the car door or the window. They just answered; "Noone steals here. We all know eachother, and there's no trust issues here. I could even had my car running, and it would still be here when I got out of the store." I have to admit that my jaw dropped when she said that. They didn't even lock their entrance door while running errands during the day. However when I visited family in Minneapolis and St Paul, they locked their car doors. And to enter the house, we had to switch off the alarm first. It was the same when I visited friends and family in both California and Florida. The more crowded the town you live in is, the more you have to secure your own property. And it's the same in Norway. My parents live in a small mountain village and don't actually have to lock their car or entrance door during the day. I live close to the capital of Oslo, and I have an alarm system that is connected to a central. And I always keep my doors locked. So it depends on where you live, basically.
01:04 It depends a lot on where in Norway you live, but it isn't at all untrue, I've witnessed this myself even by the coast in West Norway where we usually don't get enough snow to do this. 02:52 I'd imagine this is around the end of the school day, so everyone is going home for the day. A lot of teens are gifted - or save up and buy - scooters like these now adays, there are also the Voi, Vy, Lime, Tier, Bird, Bolt, (and probably a lot more) rental scooters all over the place. It is also very common - even though it is illegal to do so - to see two or even more on the same scooter. 03:28 Yes, they are electric scooters. It makes me think of Wall-E movie the more teens I see using them, I feel like things are getting too technological and convenient already, and it likely isn't too far from Wall-E becoming a reality at this rate. Teens used to ride manual scooters where you had to at least kick the ground to get speed, that was at least somewhat of an exercise compared to just standing still... 05:42 I see these in your videos - and others - a lot, but even living in a large city, I have yet to see one of these stores. It makes me wonder if these are in rural out-of-the-way areas only, or maybe in Oslo, or something like that. I don't doubt that they exist, mind you, Norway is safe enough for something like this to exist, I just haven't ever seen one myself, and wouldn't even know where to look to find one. 09:13 OK, I know she's obviously exaggerating here, but Americans are louder than Norwegians, that's not just a silly joke :P 10:29 No, we use the 24H clock system, its roots trace back to ancient Egyptian timekeeping methods. Military time adopted the 24H clock system for the sake of clarity. We also don't say "13, 14, 15, etc. unless the situation calls for specifying such, normally we just tell the time by the 12H clock system when speaking to each other. 11:13 Norway doesn't have an Amazon Warehouse, but you can still buy things from Amazon and have it shipped to your address in Norway, I do it all the time, in fact, I just bought a 20TB HDD from Amazon. 11:51 Yep, depending on where you are in Norway when it is snowing, it can be very normal for there to snow that much, even just overnight. 14:34 Oh yeah, I definitely relate to this - not the pool party bit, exactly. - Happens quite often, the weather gods or whoever controls the weather loves to play around with us Norwegians. It can be sunny and warm when you get ready to leave, but forget to put on your rain jacket and bring your umbrella and you'll quickly come to regret it, as it causes the weather to turn dark, dreary, and rainy.
I live a 20 minutes ride away from Hegna Landhandel, and according to their website they are Norways first high-tech grocery store. 🎉 I’ve been there a few times. It’s more expensive than common grocery shops with employees, but cheaper than gas stations for example, and a better selection. This store is located at a small camping north of Bø in Telemark. It’s fairly small, but it always has freshly baked goods ready wrapped, a medicine fridge, beer and cigarettes. And if you don’t have your fingerprint registered you can contact someone through the register and they will see you through a camera and be able to communicate. They do of course have food and some snacks. And some necessities for camping of course, like games and candles and toys. It’s great! And it makes me feel proud that we can have stores like this.
Oh, that's a bit far from me, around 5 hours drive xD But it really does sound pretty cool and interesting, more than the videos have made them seem. (Also, Google Maps shows it as "Hegna Landhandel | 24/7," so it being similar to a gas station makes sense, as would the higher prices. I appreciate you wrote about it, I likely wouldn't ever have known about the place otherwise! :)
I would guess when you tap your card at the door it opens and leave a footprint of you identity at the same time and I would assume there is a bunch of cameras. Store like this is not very common. But many stores have self checkouts but with staff controlling
4:15 He's saying in his dialect ''D va skikkelig gale en periode'' which in Norwegian Bokmål would be ''Det var veldig galt i en periode''. It translates to ''It was really bad/crazy for a while.''
3:10 In norway you can buy a scooter But you can just have it for 10min. Then your done with the scooter you dont need to take it all the way back there you found it, you can just leave it on a random place. If you want to use it more you can just buy it agian and use it for 10min agian😁😀| just if you didn’t know😅|
A bunad will often be made with expensive wool, linen and silk fabrics, with hand-sewn embroidery, which makes it quite expensive. In addition, there is extensive silver and/or gold jewelry that goes with it, you can usually pick between big or slightly more modest brooches, but there's also belt clasps or even entire belts, fine chain laces and so on, which can easily double the price or more.
18:10 Yes. 10K dollars, or more. However, it's rather rare for people to buy at that price. Bunads are already expensive as they are. So it makes sense that not everyone owns one.
14:02 those are very common in Norway. Dogs find them everywhere and eat them if they Get the chance. I have once gotten those small bastards in my bed while i was asleep..
I order from Amazon in Italy, UK and sometimes the US. It normally only takes 5-6 days. No problem😁 All the snow; just saying that on the west coast it's mostly rain. But we also have beautiful summers when it's light almost all night (still on the west coast❤) PS I never go skiing anywhere😆
Tyler should really watch some of the "Brøyt i vei" TV serie, to understand why people from the North are laughing when the Southerners get some snow, and totally trips out 😅
Bold of you to assume we only have 2 months of snow in the north, July and August are the only months that I personally haven't experienced snowing when north of the 68th parallel... Most snow does melt away by May, as long as you are not 100m above sea level or more, it's just that there's always risk of more snowfall.
10:30 No, we say "1 o clock", "3 o clock", etc.. but the clock is military time, IE, 24 hours (so it displays 13:00 for 1 PM, etc). And yes, you Americans use the AM/PM system.
Norway gets a lot of rain and snow because we're far north. The moist winds from south comes north, cools down and condenses on us. The good thing is it provides us with endless electricity. The bad thing is … flooding and mountains of snow. :)
When you scan your card in those unattended stores, they take down your card info and name in case you do steal, so they have your info and can contact the police.
Yes, Americans are pretty unique in not being able to count past 12. Also, we don't call it "military time" here, if anything, we say "24 hour clock". And yes, we understand (and use) the AM/PM system, too.
The "University" looks like Oslo Science Park where I used to work s few years ago. So not a uni, but a place for research and technology, where companies can rent space and facilities.
A good joke would also be waking up at 0430 am without checking your clock thinking it's the middle of the day and when you get to the beach there is no one there XD Happened to anyone here before? XD
i use and prefear the am and pm clock, but oficially we do use 24h clock. with the snow part, i have never understod the reason to shut down everything because of some snow, like you just deal with it and go about your day. funny thing about the male bunads, in norway it is ilegal to carry a knife (some exeptions for work), but most male bunads have a knife as part of it.
EL Scooter, Hoverboards is a common among 10-16y . transports to school and friends. And its looks like its gonna take over for the "moped" 50cc Bikes (16y age restrictions) in the future, We will see.
I'm an American immigrant to Norway, and have been here 6 years. The "American in Norway" TikToks make me cringe SO HARD. Also, guaranteed that truck is not being driven by a Norwegian. Driving around like that is highly illegal and dangerous, and norwegians go through way too much driving training to even think about risking that. Not to mention the fine if you get caught would be insane.
Was not expecting to see Gavlen Fjellhandel when I started this video. It's just the "last chance shop/refuel" before a mountain pass. And no, there is absolutely nothing special about it. You will find a lot of these near villages.
Well, kind of. English got Rucksack from German. Wife is from Proto-Germanic. Husband, cake, law and egg is from Old Norse, which is not the same as Norwegian :)
AM and PM is not a thing in Norway. Always confuse ppl. We use 00:00-24:00 on paper and we say 1-12 two times a day. Like: Why i woke up so early, its 5 o*clock. or We going to the cinema at 8 o clock this evening.

It's CRAZY to say that we "don't have amazon" in Norway. Amazon is in every country, we just don't have same day delivery, which is exploitative of the delivery workers anyway, so it's not really a loss.
if anything, it would be postnord who takes care of the delivery, which no one wants to deal with.
Yes it's a very odd concept to me. Expect online shops to have an storage facility in every country. No one does that in Europe.
Skiiing in the streets is not normal, but it happened a lot in Oslo last winter. It is just much better than walking in 25cm of snow.
Thats because Oslo has lost its origin culture because Of urbanization and multicultural combination everywhere in a radius of probably 400km from my city its normal

Also, there are people who rather go skiing or what-have-you than pay to take public transportation.
I don`t think you know so much about Norway`s history :)
Americans use 12-hour clock, the rest of use 24-hour clock. Like normal people!!

Not super common, but I have seen people putting on their skis to get to work on very snowy days.
@@jarls5890 I lived in the uk , it snowed about 10 cm so I put my ski's on and skied to the shop. I ended up in the lokal paper 🤣🤣
Go TO work, yes... Not inside buildings though :P
@@bodilhov9722 no, we never tend to do that, even if we are a bit strange 🤣. That was norwegian humour I'm afraid.

These rural grocery stores have cameras so you are being monitored. And they know if you pay or not as you get registered when you used the debit/credit card to enter.
These stores are for low demand areas or places with a few cabins up in the mountain. Better than having to drive another 30-60 minutes to the nearest store.
Electric scooters have become completely normal here. Not cool, not lame, just normal. Everyone either own one or rents one, when they need to, from the many app based rental companies here.
I think its common in the nordics. You see a lot them in big cities
But I wouldn’t be surprised if u also see them in the other countries in Europe
@@clara.a4555 I wouldn't be surprised. I only know how it is here in Norway though, so didn't want to assume for the rest of the Nordics. I do know they are banned in some continental European cities though.

Amazon IS available in Norway. We just don't have any warehouses, since the unions wouldn't allow it.
Amazon, we don't need this, do we?Many other alternatives! But we're not American 😊
The unions would absolutely allow it. Amazon, on the other hand, didn't accept their demands for treating the employees like people.
I mean many european countries don't have their own designated website for amazon but can easily get amazon products by german, french, spanish, italian and other amazons to their country. which is kinda good coz it's bigger market they cover and quantity usually makes prices lower. but yea there are other websites than amazon. if I can I buy elsewhere.
@@karisynnvetrotland2197 Well it depens on what you after and need. sometimes we shop where the items we weant are.
In Norway, we use the 24 hour clock system when we write time and 12 hour clock system when we talk verbally. No one goes and say 14 hundred hour when we mean 2 o'clock. That we use 24 hour system when we talk is just not true
I would say we mix it up. Many people say 18 f, ex.. oh when is the show airing. 18.15.. So I kinda disagree, both is used when speaking
I often say for example it starts at 21 instead of having to point out that its 9 in the evening.
In Slovenia we use both verbally but 12 hour is more often used, ( 4 in afternoon, 8 in evening, 9 in morning ) and for when we write it's always 24 hour system. I think in most of Europe it's like that.
We take skis off to go indoors!
Electric scooters are everywhere now.
Bunads can be very expensive, but you have a costume to wear for weddings and other special events. No need to buy anything. It can even be extended most of the time.
The cat is a Maine Coon, so an American breed. However, some say they are descendants of the cats that the vikings brought over back in the day...
I often mistake the two - the Main Coons have slightly more angular chins, while the Forestcat has a more pointed chin, but they are both big, strong cats with impressive fur, ruffs and often ear tufts as well.
Haha glad I am not the only one who noticed
It’s funny because the Maine Coons look like stereotypical Vikings lol
maine coons came from norwegian forest cats , that we vikings brought over
The ''Trust and Honour'' system in Norwegian society is something that actually goes back 1000 of years, back to the Viking Age. If you were not a honourable and trustworthy member of society back then you would be banished and thrown out of your clan/group/village and made a ''Skogsmann'' (Forest Man), forcing you to live out the rest of your life alone in the wilderness, where you'd most likely die from starvation or the cold. These criminals would also be physically branded by hot metal on a visible place of their body, like their face, with a distinctive ''brand'' of a ''Skogsmann'', so if you tried to seek shelter or buddy up to another clan/group/village to survive, they would see that you were an exile and know you were not to be trusted or taken in.
It was a good system, maybe we should go back to it. Being honest and not steal, is not too much to ask. But perhaps give people a chance to change their ways before branding:D

Right, responding as you often suggest.
1. Skis in the street is not uncommon when there's snow and you don't have a long commute. It isn't common for someone to ski to the store, but when they do it is common to unhook them and stand them outside or in the entry area so you don't ruin them or track snow fully inside. Same for work.
2. Scooters are common, especially the electrical kind in the last years. Not just for teens, though these are the primary target consumer. I own one myself and am older than even two teens put together. I use mine mostly to commute for work when it's nice out and I'm short on time (normally I walk), or to truly test its limits I ride it to the next town and see how economical I can be with the battery to make it back without running out. There are rental scooters strewn around bigger towns, which will unlock through a special app; just unlock it for a while (and pay through the app) and abandon it in plain view when you're done, so other consumers nearby can pick it up and ride it some more, or so that people employed by the service can fetch the scooter for recharge.
3. It's a language, or a regional dialect. Sounds like he's from the south-west area of Norway, the Rogaland area, maybe Stavanger or Sandnes. "Det e skikkelig gale en periode" - "It gets real bad occasionally".
4. Yes it is real, just not exactly common in the sense that there's one such place within easy reach of everyone. Just like in America, we have the occasional need to refuel (in whatever way) so some enterprising person set up a business to supply these things. And population in Norway can be deceptive to the American eye, as I've been told by at least one I've encountered. Though we only see the fuel station and a barn, chances are that area is home to a few hundred people scattered around and partially concealed by the landscape. The card tapping is a new one on me, but I guess it's a way to make sure not only that animals don't accidentally trigger the opening mechanism but also ensuring that random robberies do not occur (since the police would then immediately know the identity of the robber, just conjecture on my part), or it could be just ensuring that actual paying customers are stopping by (or that they have the means to pay, again conjecture). Ah, self service. I think it's still a way of unlocking. But if there is some discrepancy during inventory, they do have a list of potential suspects for the police to handle. So I wouldn't say it's a completely trust based system, just an unmanned one. Trust but verify, I believe is the expression.
5. Yes, Norwegian forest cat.
6. If you think Husøy is an incredible place to live, we used to (not up to date on television programming) have a show called "Der Ingen Skulle Tru At Nokon Kunne Bu" - "Where Noone Would Believe Anyone Could Live" which used to explore these out-of-the-way places to the amazement and enlightenment of the viewing public.
7. Americans in Norway: a) No, not dollars. b) Yes, loud right then, only people with some kind of hearing impariment could get away with it normally. c) We mostly do speak Enlish, but not exclusively for American tourists/students. d) Saying Hello to someone in the street is considered odd unless you know them... saying hello to someone on a hiking trail is much more common, because apparently we're more more at ease in areas of low population density and dense vegetation or rocky terrain. e) At -20 it's more or less the same in both F and C, but surprisingingly it's severeal hundred plus in K. f) Not personally familiar with that brand, though I've heard about it in passing... think it was on The Big Bang Theory. Anyway, unless your clothing is insufficient for the season or public decency only those with a special interest in clothing would comment on what you're wearing. j) Military time is standard, but I grew up using an analogue clock and was used to tacking on the general time period of the day when telling someone (four-thirty in the morning, or six-eighteen in the evening, etc). Military time is a frankly efficient way of getting around this and still give a clear indication of time: the clock goes from 00:00:00 which is midnight, to 23:59:59, which is also effectively midnight. I'm sure even American kids learn that there are 24h in a day, so figuring out the rest should be fairly easy, but i'll give it a shot anyway; 13= 1 pm, 14= 2 pm, 15= 3pm, 16=4 pm, 17= 5 pm, 18= 6 pm, 19= 7 pm, 20= 8 pm, 21= 9 pm, 22= 10 pm, 23= 11 pm. Europeans aren't that keen on using fractions in the daily. k) Sure you can walk outside and see the Northern Lights... it's just that if you are as far south as it looks then that would indicate a major solar event for its radiation to interact sufficiently with the geomagnetic field that the lights are visible outside the Polar Circle, and when you know the source of the Northern Lights they become about as pretty as watching shooting stars you know are actually the fragmented debris of a decommissioned space station. Pretty, but scary because something might go wrong. l) You might get it on Amazon, but delivery would take a while (weeks or months depending on supply and shipping issues along the way). Haven't investigated, but the closest Amazon is either in Germany or the UK.
8. Snow in Norway can get pretty high, depending on where you live and the severity of the winter. I've often been unable to see the family car as anything but a mound under knee-high depths of snow (or higher). The trick is being familiar with the terrain and carefully carve away the snow like an archaeologist approaching a find so you don't need to have the car repainted from a carelessly maneuvered shovel. It is illegal to drive any distance with snow on the roof (or windshield) due to the hazards this would present, but often a practical or lazy solution appears and is taken to save time. And for the record, even as much snow as seen in this clip would not be sufficient for a Snow Day. The only exception would be if the snow was deep enough that the only way of getting around was by tunnelling under the snow, as I've been told was necessary my first winter in life (not that I'm in a state to recall).
9. Norwegian breeds of animal. There is a folk tale or urban myth (as much as that term can be used in rural areas) that if you bother a lemming it will become so annoyed it will burst/explode, which is part of the joke in its description of cyclic population explosion.
10. The summer weather can be very temperemental, going from clear to rainy in minutes. This summer I actually experienced being surrounded by rain and thunder while being directly under a sunny clear patch... surreal. As to getting on a lot of clothing, it brings to mind something my mother used to say; better to have something you can take off than having nothing to put on. The weather can change.
11. Going to a party in winter Norway in that outfit is inviting all kinds of accidents and illness. Even stiletto heels will not have a good enough purchase on the ground to prevent slipping, and a miniskirt will not provide enough cover for sliding down a hill on the ice. Not to mention the pneumonea and urethral infection from being so exposed to the cold. There is no shame in prioritizing practicality over fashion.
12. Winter fjord landscapes can be very beautiful to watch from a distance, but like a lot of beautiful sights it's best to keep it that way and not interact, because to quote Eric Idle from a sketch on the military; That's Dangerous!
13. Most universities in Norway are built to attract students, so they will need to either constantly update their architectural style or choose one which will endure or be ahead of its time. And fortunately there are often signs directing the visitors/employees/students to where they need to go, so only in the beginning is there a chance of getting lost. But if you do, most people not actively engaged elsewhere will be more than happy (though obviously not thrilled) to either explain the corrected path or take you back to where things start making more sense.
14. Again, I recommend practicality over fashion. Even if this girl is a native (not necessarily Sami, but someone whose family has resided here for generations) this is inviting illness and injury. She might be wearing skin coloured tights or something similar, but this is not a safe look.
15. The male bunad is every bit as tricky as the female version in that they represent specific regions of the country, telling the informed viewer where they originate by the cut or style or colours. I think the reason so few men own one today is the same as for weddings; we just don't see the point in spending a lot of money on something you only wear once or twice (though the bunad would certainly see more use than the tux or dress at a wedding). Men tend to (this is based on observation) be more practical in deciding what to wear while women (again based on observation) choose something that will draw attention of men or envy of other women, which is why the female bunad is often accompanied with accessories in real silver or gold (hence the cost). Most men today wear a normal suit rather than a bunad. It's also worth noting that if you look at the American founding fathers, you will see some similarities in their articles of clothing and the male bunad, suggestiong the approximate time period the male bunad came into fashion.
The massive snowfall is not that common, at least not in the south, but it is correct that the attitude is to just "keep calm and carry on". But of course it causes a lot of delays, so schools may close while show clearing machinery work day and night to remove the snow. There is no way you can dig out your car if the snow clearing machinery has not cleared the roads first.
In the last decades some winters have had almost no snow in the lowlands in the south. "Bare frost" can be practically convenient, but also may kill off much more perennial plants. A decent stable level of snow, like we like to think there used to be in the past, if our memory serves us right, can be a useful insulator up against the walls of houses, saving both plants and energy bills.
@@bearofthunder so true. I really misses the winters with snow and stabil winters without Rain and then cold again so all is ice. Really beautiful with winters if its snow. Not everybody hates winters. A lot of us loves them and im so happy we have 4 seasons even if almost every you tube channel think that its snow almost year around and it pisses me off.

Yeah this is not something the the average Norwegian experiences during winter. Just like Alaska does not represent the experiences of an average American.
@@667buddySame, those were the best winters ever! Lots of snow all winter long. I remember metre-high plow edges in our driveway as a kid. 😅 Not something you see often now. Except for 2018 though, we had 2,5 metres of snow in our driveway 😂
Be careful if the Bunads Police discover that you have a Bunad sewn in China, they cost much less and the Bunads Police keep an eye on what people are wearing and can see if a Bunad is not handmade. Bunads Police is a Norwegian joke that maybe only we Norwegians understand.
Many small islands have bridge acess to the mainland and the nearby islands. My home town lies on 2 islands + mainland.
We do have Amazon but slower delivery since we order from UK. We can also order from a big selection of national online stores.
We often use military time for meetings. Your doctor appointment or work meeting will be listed in military time. But we also use 12 hour clock + day/evening.
The rules of bunad are handmade based on a set, local pattern. The patterns are sold by Husfliden. They also give their stamp of approval for new bunads or alterations for old ones. For instance using a new colour.
Yeah. Husøya is really close to the mainisland, Senja. The bridge is seen on the video. 😊 Senja is beautiful.

That massive snow fall happened last winter in the southern part of Norway, and it was all over the news because the infrastructure kneeled due to the massive snow fall.
People had to stay home from work, schools closed etc. Some people even had to use the windows on the 1st floor to get out of their homes.
But not something that happens regularly, even though there are places that have 5-6 meters with snow during winter, but that is during the whole season, not in a couple of days like in this clip
I know am and pm it's AM ( after midnight) and PM (pefore midnight)😂
Of course ALL norwegian ski ALL the time including indoors during winter. Norwegian winter gets so cold that theres snow inside too. We make little campfires at the foot of our beds to keep from freezing to death 😝😝

We don't have our own Amazon, but both UK, French, and German Amazon will happily send goods our way (some of the partners/client companies on there won't). It just takes a few days. Even the US Amazon is available.. shipping just is a bit pricey at that distance.
What's so amazing about Amazon? We have Komplett and hundreds of other web stores, I don't even see why Amazon would be needed. I don't like how they're becoming such a monopoly in many countries... It's just.. too much.
I believe the tapping of the card keeps track of who's been inside the store, however... Norwegian society is built upon trust and honour, so it's not uncommon to see this sort of things and self-check out systems. In regular grocery stores too, you barely see much staff around except those who fill up new wares, I haven't interacted with staff in a grocery/convenient store for over 3 years I believe, as I always use the self-check out system whenever I pay for my stuff.
I purposefully try to use the old school registers as much as I can, it's not every time but often enough. It doesn't occur to you that it's just nice with a bit of human contact + some of them actually need the job?
3:53 " it was really crazy at one period" for anyone wondering
In Norway, you have to be 18 years old to get a driver's license, unlike in the US, which is 16 years old. The young people then ride electric kick bikes. Love and Respect from Norway.
ive been told, once on our private owned dirt road, the snow got so tall, that the previous house owners once dug a tunnel through a particular snowdrift on the road, instead of digging the whole drift away.
Love this and brings back great memories of my grandparents. One grandfather was from Norway (Tonsburg) and the grandfather was from Sweden (Oskarshamm). Both grandmothers were from Sweden.
Do you mean Tonsburg or Tønsberg?
A friend of mine has his caravan in the mountains, and one year he took a winter holiday there. And during that week (9 days) he shoveled a total of 1.5 meters of snow both on the car and the caravan
Lots of electric scooters in Sweden too. Everywhere! You can just pick one, rent it for where ever you are going and leave it there for the next person. You pay with an app. But lots of people also have their own electrical scooters.
In the Summer, just take out your Grill. And it will start to rain. The Summer is short and wet.
The most interesting part about all that snow isn't how much of it there is, but the fact that this isn't a rare occurrence and that we have to go to work/school still. Snow day? Pfft...
13:16 don’t be fooled, living in northern Norway above the polar circle, I can say I’ve never experienced this much snow in the past 1,5 decade. That must have been on the mountains after a several day snowstorm 😉
I have actually skied to work on a couple of occations. Not often snow enough here on the west coast though😅
I've met several Americas at a black-metal Viking festival, a few are among my best friends now. NEVER have I met a rude, loud or in any way bothersome American. Just great people, every single one I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Skiing in the streets isn't something you would USUALLY see on a regular, but... It's not uncommon or unheard of either. If I was walking down the streets and someone came walking on skiis, it's not like I would look at the person twice or anything, because it wouldn't be something ''out of place''.
There are many dialects in Norway, so the language is very diverse. This dialect is from western Norway (Bergen). Most countries in Europa have standardised their language whilst Norway is one if the few that have kept and accepted differences. There are also two different written languages. One is a mix of the dialects and the other is a more standardised version of the spoken language around the capital (oslo).
The "honor system" stores have cameras hand they have your card on file if you steal anything, so its not really honor based. Those types of stores are litterally in the middle of nowhere and having personell working there 24/7 for the few people who come over there would be alot more expensive than geting a few items stolen.
I don't think Norwegians are more trustworthy than others. That store is very unique, also in Norway. I am quite sure that it has been someone who has either thought about or even tried to steal goods from the store, but it is probably designed in such a way that it is locked and you cannot get out until you have paid.
They also have surveillance cameras in those stores. Everything is monitored.
Nobody walks into the shop with skies on...
when I have to dig out the car, I find earplugs and music. and sulking until I'm done
I will say this depends on where you live though. My experience is that Norway and Usa is very similar in this regard. I have been to small villages in Minnesota where they just park their car outside the store, not locking the car doors or windows. When I asked them why they didn't lock the car door or the window. They just answered; "Noone steals here. We all know eachother, and there's no trust issues here. I could even had my car running, and it would still be here when I got out of the store." I have to admit that my jaw dropped when she said that. They didn't even lock their entrance door while running errands during the day. However when I visited family in Minneapolis and St Paul, they locked their car doors. And to enter the house, we had to switch off the alarm first. It was the same when I visited friends and family in both California and Florida. The more crowded the town you live in is, the more you have to secure your own property.
And it's the same in Norway. My parents live in a small mountain village and don't actually have to lock their car or entrance door during the day. I live close to the capital of Oslo, and I have an alarm system that is connected to a central. And I always keep my doors locked. So it depends on where you live, basically.
01:04 It depends a lot on where in Norway you live, but it isn't at all untrue, I've witnessed this myself even by the coast in West Norway where we usually don't get enough snow to do this.
02:52 I'd imagine this is around the end of the school day, so everyone is going home for the day. A lot of teens are gifted - or save up and buy - scooters like these now adays, there are also the Voi, Vy, Lime, Tier, Bird, Bolt, (and probably a lot more) rental scooters all over the place. It is also very common - even though it is illegal to do so - to see two or even more on the same scooter.
03:28 Yes, they are electric scooters. It makes me think of Wall-E movie the more teens I see using them, I feel like things are getting too technological and convenient already, and it likely isn't too far from Wall-E becoming a reality at this rate. Teens used to ride manual scooters where you had to at least kick the ground to get speed, that was at least somewhat of an exercise compared to just standing still...
05:42 I see these in your videos - and others - a lot, but even living in a large city, I have yet to see one of these stores. It makes me wonder if these are in rural out-of-the-way areas only, or maybe in Oslo, or something like that. I don't doubt that they exist, mind you, Norway is safe enough for something like this to exist, I just haven't ever seen one myself, and wouldn't even know where to look to find one.
09:13 OK, I know she's obviously exaggerating here, but Americans are louder than Norwegians, that's not just a silly joke :P
10:29 No, we use the 24H clock system, its roots trace back to ancient Egyptian timekeeping methods. Military time adopted the 24H clock system for the sake of clarity. We also don't say "13, 14, 15, etc. unless the situation calls for specifying such, normally we just tell the time by the 12H clock system when speaking to each other.
11:13 Norway doesn't have an Amazon Warehouse, but you can still buy things from Amazon and have it shipped to your address in Norway, I do it all the time, in fact, I just bought a 20TB HDD from Amazon.
11:51 Yep, depending on where you are in Norway when it is snowing, it can be very normal for there to snow that much, even just overnight.
14:34 Oh yeah, I definitely relate to this - not the pool party bit, exactly. - Happens quite often, the weather gods or whoever controls the weather loves to play around with us Norwegians. It can be sunny and warm when you get ready to leave, but forget to put on your rain jacket and bring your umbrella and you'll quickly come to regret it, as it causes the weather to turn dark, dreary, and rainy.
I live a 20 minutes ride away from Hegna Landhandel, and according to their website they are Norways first high-tech grocery store. 🎉
I’ve been there a few times.
It’s more expensive than common grocery shops with employees, but cheaper than gas stations for example, and a better selection.
This store is located at a small camping north of Bø in Telemark.
It’s fairly small, but it always has freshly baked goods ready wrapped, a medicine fridge, beer and cigarettes.
And if you don’t have your fingerprint registered you can contact someone through the register and they will see you through a camera and be able to communicate.
They do of course have food and some snacks. And some necessities for camping of course, like games and candles and toys.
It’s great! And it makes me feel proud that we can have stores like this.
Oh, that's a bit far from me, around 5 hours drive xD But it really does sound pretty cool and interesting, more than the videos have made them seem. (Also, Google Maps shows it as "Hegna Landhandel | 24/7," so it being similar to a gas station makes sense, as would the higher prices.
I appreciate you wrote about it, I likely wouldn't ever have known about the place otherwise! :)
I would guess when you tap your card at the door it opens and leave a footprint of you identity at the same time and I would assume there is a bunch of cameras. Store like this is not very common. But many stores have self checkouts but with staff controlling
4:15 He's saying in his dialect ''D va skikkelig gale en periode'' which in Norwegian Bokmål would be ''Det var veldig galt i en periode''. It translates to ''It was really bad/crazy for a while.''
"gale" in that context means crazy, an "galt" would be wrong in Bokmål too
" Det var veldig ille en periode" er en bedre bokmålsoversettelse tror jeg.

@17:45 Its a regional thing. Different regions have different Bunad patterns.
A bunad will often be made with expensive wool, linen and silk fabrics, with hand-sewn embroidery, which makes it quite expensive. In addition, there is extensive silver and/or gold jewelry that goes with it, you can usually pick between big or slightly more modest brooches, but there's also belt clasps or even entire belts, fine chain laces and so on, which can easily double the price or more.
And also purses and shoes.
Those scooters are awesome! They are practical and pretty fast. I think they do around 20 km/h.. I have no idea what that is in miles per hour.

Not in the west. There it is only fall and spring. That`s in part why I moved east.

Yes. 10K dollars, or more. However, it's rather rare for people to buy at that price. Bunads are already expensive as they are. So it makes sense that not everyone owns one.
14:02 those are very common in Norway. Dogs find them everywhere and eat them if they Get the chance. I have once gotten those small bastards in my bed while i was asleep..
System isn't trust based. Everything is tracked. You open with your card and close with your card and then money get subtracted from your account.
I order from Amazon in Italy, UK and sometimes the US. It normally only takes 5-6 days. No problem😁
All the snow; just saying that on the west coast it's mostly rain. But we also have beautiful summers when it's light almost all night (still on the west coast❤)

Bold of you to assume we only have 2 months of snow in the north, July and August are the only months that I personally haven't experienced snowing when north of the 68th parallel...
Most snow does melt away by May, as long as you are not 100m above sea level or more, it's just that there's always risk of more snowfall.
3:50 That's not norwegian... That's Bergensk! :p "It was really bad for a while".
10:30 No, we say "1 o clock", "3 o clock", etc.. but the clock is military time, IE, 24 hours (so it displays 13:00 for 1 PM, etc).
And yes, you Americans use the AM/PM system.
Norway gets a lot of rain and snow because we're far north. The moist winds from south comes north, cools down and condenses on us. The good thing is it provides us with endless electricity. The bad thing is … flooding and mountains of snow. :)
I ride a electric bicycle almost all year round, but when it's over 20 minus the gear changer no longer works.
Hey the scooter gangs clip is from where I live (norwegians have a compulsive desire to comment when their country/city is mentioned anywhere)
When you scan your card in those unattended stores, they take down your card info and name in case you do steal, so they have your info and can contact the police.
4:22 Here is what he said😮: Yes they was very crazy and i did it😀
Yes, Americans are pretty unique in not being able to count past 12. Also, we don't call it "military time" here, if anything, we say "24 hour clock". And yes, we understand (and use) the AM/PM system, too.
The "University" looks like Oslo Science Park where I used to work s few years ago. So not a uni, but a place for research and technology, where companies can rent space and facilities.
2:50 literally everyone in my school gets to school on Electric scooters
Honor system, with a motivational cctv!
A good joke would also be waking up at 0430 am without checking your clock thinking it's the middle of the day and when you get to the beach there is no one there XD Happened to anyone here before? XD
Care to explain what you mean? I know 04.30 and 16.30 can look similar in the winter if not the same here in Norway
@@rustypenny Yeah, the midnight sun really.
i use and prefear the am and pm clock, but oficially we do use 24h clock. with the snow part, i have never understod the reason to shut down everything because of some snow, like you just deal with it and go about your day. funny thing about the male bunads, in norway it is ilegal to carry a knife (some exeptions for work), but most male bunads have a knife as part of it.
2:25 THATS MY HOME TOWN/CITY 😊
Bodø rep🐸
@@YepTheFroggy ja
Its true we dont have Amazone, but you still can get your packages really fast if you pay a small fee
yes I don't understand the problem, just order online
EL Scooter, Hoverboards is a common among 10-16y . transports to school and friends. And its looks like its gonna take over for the "moped" 50cc Bikes (16y age restrictions) in the future, We will see.
Not only youngsters are on electrick scooters,there is grownups and older people too 🤪 Skiing is often seen when there is lots of snow.
15:19 Just a casual walk to the general store
The cars covered in snow probably suffered a roof avalanche.
I'm an American immigrant to Norway, and have been here 6 years. The "American in Norway" TikToks make me cringe SO HARD.
Also, guaranteed that truck is not being driven by a Norwegian. Driving around like that is highly illegal and dangerous, and norwegians go through way too much driving training to even think about risking that. Not to mention the fine if you get caught would be insane.
The tik tok forgot to mention how flocks of polar bears are roaming the streets of oslo...
Was not expecting to see Gavlen Fjellhandel when I started this video. It's just the "last chance shop/refuel" before a mountain pass. And no, there is absolutely nothing special about it. You will find a lot of these near villages.
I'm Norwegian and skiiing in the grocery store and stuff like that is not normal 😂
Bunads have a look depending on where they are from.
You use Norwegian language everyday. E.g. husband and wife are Norwegian words 😁 Rucksack, cake, law, egg are also words from Norway 😉🇧🇻🇺🇸
Well, kind of. English got Rucksack from German. Wife is from Proto-Germanic.
Husband, cake, law and egg is from Old Norse, which is not the same as Norwegian :)
Yes, the cost of the bunad is true. However, because of the rarity and steep price - most people inherit bunads from older family members
14:50 not a lot😂🌧️
That guy said “it is really crazy”
It's tradition for the girls to get a bunad from their grandparents as a gift for their confirmation (entering adulthood).
AM and PM is not a thing in Norway. Always confuse ppl. We use 00:00-24:00 on paper and we say 1-12 two times a day. Like: Why i woke up so early, its 5 o*clock. or We going to the cinema at 8 o clock this evening.
My huskies has eaten one or two Lemming's before I could react😅
We get some rough winters with meeters of snow, sure but we atleast dont get nature disasters, ooof
We can order from Amazan, and we have serveral others places to order from, all over europe and asia
Yes, but it was pioneered in America.
Therw is a road leading to Husøy. No need for ferry.
Norwegians techniques for not being cold is simply ignoring it
Crazy? Nahh! Monday!
The scooters are electric. Very practical.
Norway has Amazon! I bought Christmas gifts on Amazon recently
