Quite impressive of a dane talking english without the typial danish accent shining through) I was guessing american. You have maybe lived and studied there?

Norske studenter får ca 12500 kr pr mnd i støtte/ lån. 25% av dette (ca 3100) omgjøres til stipend ved fullført semester/bestått eksamen. Resten blir rentefritt studielån, som begynner å løpe med lav rente når studiene er avsluttet.. Dessuten diverse støtteordninger til gravide og fødende studenter.

I delivery food by car in Telemark, more precisely in Porsgrunn and Skien. Yes, I pay toll when I enter Porsgrunn and when I cross from Porsgrunn to Skien, but is limited to 60 charges by calendar month, which usually I reach in 10 to 15 days. Also, if I enter Porsgrunn, left and return in less than an hour I do not get charged again. What I try to say, after I enter Porsgrunn, I can enter and left for the next sixty minutes without being charge again. The top hours cost 23 NOK, and the rest of the day is 17 NOK, but because I have an electronic tag, get 20 % discount. This benefits change in different part of Norway. The couple of times I drove to Torp Airport, I paid to a different company, but the charge was in my monthly toll ticket. Now, when I see the effort to keep the road and streets free of snow 24/7 as in my area, or cleaned of grit immediately after winter, it worth paying. The maximum I have pay is near 900NOK (around $ 90) and as self-employed I think, but can confirm at the moment, can discount from my income. Need to ask my accountant. In other hands, the map in the GPS devices and Google map in my area are not up to date. They ask me to take closed roads, roads no longer exist and sometime can't find the customer because their addresses are not marked in the map. I think the problem is the municipality do not inform companies like Google, Tomtom and Garmin the changes. I do not know.

There is this book by a Danish author called "Little Book of Hygge , the Danish way to live well" , and by this book the Danish sort of "took" the expression HYGGE (cosiness) and made the world believe this is something special for Denmark. I find this kind of funny. Having it cosy at home with good food, candles, nice home decor for the season one is in, being relaxed and comfortable together is just as much a Norwegian thing as a Danish thing... 😀 But a Dane wrote the mentioned book, so they beat us there... 🙃 In Norway we would more often use the words KOSELIG and KOSE OSS, rather than the word HYGGE, but it means the same. 😉

This was a bit unlear in wording about education in Norway. It should be clear that you don't pay anything to the university.

Norway is pretty traditional I am surprised to hear from you. Anyway your information is very informative, thanks for sharing it.

Are you single?

Great job as always Sara x

The money you receive from Lånekassen as a student in Norway is partly a loan (as it's a combination of a grant and a loan). However, this doesn't mean that universities in Norway aren't free, as there is almost no tuition fee unless you attend a private institution. The financial support from Lånekassen is an extra benefit.

My dream is to live in Norway

I believe you have contradictinv pro and cons. you Said that people are very nice in Norway and then you Siad it's difficult to find friends as well how come they are nice and not frinedly it's kinda contradicting? 😂

Not relevant as of August 2024. Tons of IT companies are laying people off left and right, also here in Norway(think recent Oda layoffs).

Du sier veldig mye feil og ting som kan tolkes feil

I recommend making a research about topics before shooting the video. Instead you're saying "I guess" etc. And abruptly ending the video is also a sign of lack of preparation.

when a person go first time in Norway How they feel about life ?

I don't think the Danish are very liberal with alcholol other than compared to places like Norway. The age limit might be lower but in France even school kids were allowed to drink wine during recess until 1956 and obviously in many homes they aren't going to wait until someone is 18 before giving them wine. I suspect Germans probably get beer much before they are 18 as well.

In Denmark we have both "Himmelbjerget" and "Mols Bjerge"...

I'm not interested in friends. Its good to know the infrastructure is very well. Good for Norwegians. It might be the place I'll choose to retire.

Hello from france

You can't make a video about Norway and Sweden - among other reasons: Swedes work in Norway allready.

Biggest difference between Norwegians and Danes: Norwegians are "Fjell-Åke´s". Danes are not. 🤣🤣😂😂😉😉😁😁😀😀

You know she is danish when she refers to wine with <22% alc, she calls it "low-alcohol wine". The stuff they got in denmark is strong bro

In the 1970s, I visited Denmark on a ship I was serving on. I got into conversation with a Danish guy and I was interested in Scandinavian culture. I asked him if Danish and Norwegian languages were the same. He told me they were very similar, but Norwegian is like Danish, spoken with a mouthful of porridge!

Biggest difference is that in Norway they are afraid of human nature and love the real nature. In Denmark we are afraid of the real nature but love human nature. ;)

Norway has a shit ton of money from petroleum, and Denmark has a lot of muslims

You can sell sex in Norway, but not buy.

Never seen alcohol at a child's birthday party in my 47 years as a Dane we drink hot cacao with wiped cream! 😂

There are much more similarities then differences between us, Norway is the contry that come closest to us in Denmark and we consider them a brother nation and both when it come to linguistics and ethnicity it is very similar, our culture who come from our religion, philosophy and political is likewise very similar, when you can buy alcohol and sell your body is of less importance IMHO.

My wife grew up in Poland. Christmas without alcohol, is like Santa without presents.

Hi ,interesting information about both countries, racketeering is pretty new to me. Anyway thank you for sharing it.😊

Denmark is more similar to Germany than Scandinavia, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

Very interesting videos! I'm a Norwegian citizen that grew up in the USA and am thinking of moving to Norway with my American wife. We are talking about building a home or maybe buying and customizing an existing home. So the details of what you're going through are of particular interest to me. Keep the videos coming!

OMG !! 😀

Why is more alcohol sold in Norway just before Christmas than at other times of the year if people don't drink at Christmas time? 😊

It is legal to sell sex in Norway, but not to buy. Same in Sweden. So prostitutes will not be charged with any crime, only the clients.

The Norwegian Bible Belt is very different from the American one. For reference: Around 25-30% of the population there are Christians, which is higher than the national average. The national numbers are: - 50% Atheists - 20% dont know or believe in "some force" that is not a god - 20% Christians - 5% Muslims - 5% all other religions

Grocery stores in Norway can only sell alchol max 4,7%. So most beers are 4,5-4,7%. You will not find any wine in a grocery store. Anything stronger than 4,7% can only be sold by Vinmonopolet. (Lit. The Wine Monopoly, it is government owned. Very nice stores.) At age 18 you can buy alcohol below 22% At age 20 you can buy alcohol 22% and higher

I think when it comes to events such as confirmation alcohol is fine, unless its in very religious communities that doesnt really touch alcohol. Also parts of the southern parts of Norway where its more conservative values its less alcohol. Audnedal Kommune in Agder didnt sell alcohol until only a few years ago for example. But overall, most people, and specially Urban people in Norway and Denmark are more similiar. Main difference is where its sold, and yeah Danes does consume more alcohol than Norwegians, but the numbers are a bit more underreported for Norway compared to Denmark historically due to alcohol taxation. Denmark is more expensive now than it used to be, due to the poor Norwegian krone. However Norwegian alcohol has been known to be more expensive, so Norwegians do tend to shop more abroad than Danes, as alcohol consumption is measured on sales in a country. So it inflated it. I know Danes also do the same in Germany, but not to the extent Norwegians does. Another element with that is the Norwegian geography and distances also makes moonshine production also far more a thing in Norway in rural places than Denmark. Its probably a thing in Denmark as well, but in Norway there is quiet a lot of illegal moonshine production going on for people that also wants to save the money. Besides that its spot on, and Norwegians are more prude than danes when it comes to nudity. Denmark,Germany and Spain are probably the 3 countries in Europe that are the most similiar on that when it comes to it. Norway is probably still more towards Denmark on the scale if one look at Europe as a whole, and even more so when looking at it worldwide.

Denmark is liberal when comes to alcohol and prostitution. Danes is reckon more continental from a Norwegian perspective and maybe others as well that is able to make a comparasion. As a Norwegian I have barely been to Denmark but made to-three weeks in Copenhagen one summer. I met two Norwegian girls as were on vacation as well. One of the girls just left one year in the US as a au pair. She said the americans seem more liberal to weed than to alcohol. DUI of alcohol was a no no but DUI of weed wasn't that bad. The Norwegian 'special store' for liguid is a state owned 'monopoly'

this is the best part of Norway!! 🤩😍🤩😍

that free food for kids while shopping is amazing ! good video Sara, regards from Switzerland

As a snow-winter-lover this sounds paradise to me! regards from Switzerland (yes we have snow too, but Norway get`s colder and snow stays longer)

Hello, Sara. I'm thinking about moving to Norway or Denmark in 1-2 years, but I heard that norwegian currency is in a bad state now. I know that previously people in Norway had higher average income than in Denmark, but in your opinion how did weak NOK affect the life of people? Do you feel some significant price growth compared to what it was 2 years ago?

Hello good afternoon i am from Spain and i would like to move to denmark or norway. What english would be the Minimum?

We could never get nauseous of you Sara x

Thank you for sharing it, I feel it is quite expensive though. Anyway next year I will come to know about the exact cost of living in Norge.

Amazing, thanks Sara x

Wow! Socialism Norwegian style is so great. I am very well paid, even to be a bus boy, and I get to stay home for any idiotic reason. But everything is so damn expensive that I can not afford anything. Well, no thanks.
