On point? The first guy way overgeneralizes making blanket statements! He says the USA but he obviously talks about his town in his state.Sounds like he comes from a really uninteresting place. He says all this positive stuff about Norway and nothing good about the "states" at least where he's from ...He sounds like he hasn't traveled or lived anywhere else either in the states or outside it...I've lived in Norway for 22 years including the north and can barely stand listening to this guy any more!

Honesty is something I very much appreciate about Norway. I once managed to forget my backpack on a bench at the train station in Trondheim as I got on the train to the airport. I realized it as the train had already started moving and I completely panicked as I had everything of value in it; passport, wallet, and laptop etc. I thought for sure it was all gone with no hope of recovering it. I talked to the conductor though and I he contacted lost and found at the station and sure enough; someone had turned it in and it was delivered to me by the conductor on the next train. I was needless to say ecstatic that I got it back and nothing was missing in it. The odds of that happening in Southern California where I live is slim to none. The rule of thumb around here is, if it can be stolen it generally will be.

As a Norwegian, I have to say that "pinnekjøtt" is salted and dried lamb ribs, that are sometimes smoked before drying. Salting, smoking and drying are traditional preservation techniques. So this was a way to keep meat from spoilage, before freezers and fridges. Before you eat it, it's rehydrated by soaking it in water, for anything from 10-36 hours, depending on how salty you want it. Then it's steamed(not boiled) for several hours and no, we don't eat the bones(LOL). It's served with neepes and tatties.

Asking how you are is better than not talking to you...in Sweden (happens in Norway as well), you can have a neighbour not saying "hi" to you even if you've been neighbours for 15 years (talking by own experience and also very common in Sweden). That's very wicked if you ask me (before you ask, yes I've tried to take initiative...but no interest at all from the other side). Can you help me understand this? And please, don't tell me once you get to know "us" we are the nicest people...the thing is that you don't know people at the beginning (that's normally how it is, right?) and one way to getting to know a person is by establishing a first contact, which normally a "hi" or even better "hi, how are you?" does. Coming from this point of view, the "how are you doing?" makes a lot of sense, EVEN if you at the beginning probably don't want/are not expecting an answer...

In the rural areas, people do need cars, as the public transportation system is very limited, especially on days where the schools are closed. Though if you live in a city or a town, you can most likely walk, or ride a bike wherever you need to go. If not, the buses and trains are constantly running.

Lye is a strong base, it was normally used for washing clothes, and for making soap. It was made from ashes. Lutefisk is first dried, then watered and treated with lye, then watered out again, and gently cooked, to keep it firm, and not too gelatinous, that's no good. A lot of people say that the best thing with lutefisk, is the garniture; pea stew, bacon, syrup and so on. Some even have brunost, the sweet, brown cheese-like stuff.

Speaking Norwegian makes you "one of them" and this is the door into very close relationships. If you only speak English you`ll always be "just" a foreigner. Now it won`t be possible to come that close to Norwegians because they wonder when you are leaving. They simply do not invest in a friendship with someone that is possiblly gone in a week or month.

You liked Law of Jante 11:52 (Janteloven)? I think I need to lay that out for you. Maybe you see it a little different now: 1. You're not to think you are anything special. 2. You're not to think you are as good as we are. 3. You're not to think you are smarter than we are. 4. You're not to imagine yourself better than we are. 5. You're not to think you know more than we do. 6. You're not to think you are more important than we are. 7. You're not to think you are good at anything. 8. You're not to laugh at us. 9. You're not to think anyone cares about you. 10. You're not to think you can teach us anything. Janteloven is a text written by the author Aksel Sandemose in 1933, and was first presented in the work A refugee crosses his trail. This text gives a good picture of "human beings' inherent evil and ability to oppress one another", as Aksel Sandemose believed to characterize human beings from their first interaction. Norwegians use this text to remind one another not to be evil and not try to suppress others, like foreigners in particular (since we're so intelligent , we need to remind ourselves not everyone is like us).

Inequality is much smaller and less visible in in Norway compared to the USA. That's something I noticed traveling in the parts of the US I have seen. Norwegians like Americans are proud and unapologetic of beeing who they are. They fly their flag with pride, and you don't have to travel further than England, Sweden, Germany og France where you will notice a distict difference here. I've celebrated 14th of July in France once, and it is very low key compared to 17th of May i Norway. If a foreign media outlet runs something about Norway (good or bad does not really matter). I can guarantee that it it will make national headlines within Norway very quickly. Norwegians like Americans enjoy telling others what's best for them ;) Norwegians are quite peacefull, law abiding, quiet, and calm, exept when they drink alcohol, and the use of even lighter narcotics is a big no-no.

@@KevinSolem It has a lot to do with the fact that we are a wealthy country where the medicine is top notch, and therefore people are less likely to use a god as an excuse for not fearing death, when medicine can be taught instead. Of course there are more factors than this, but it mostly is because we "don't need" a god.

It's wierd to me that they say most of us dont own a car? Maybe many who lives in Oslo city don't need it but if you go outside of the city area where I live everyone owns a veichle. Cars are expensive yes but it's not like its unaffordable for us by any means.

Have newer encountered someone with a 7 hour working day, is this normal further south in Norway. I’m used to 7-15, or 8-16 or some lines of work where lunch is paid and they work 7:30-15 or 7-14:30

In rural Norway, and especially in the north, a lot more people rely on personal cars, because the buses dont' run as often. There are long distances and few people, and no railroad north of Bodø, with exception for the Narvik-Kiruna railroad.
