Norwegian HABITS | Mon Amie

[@akyhne]

There was a huge case in New York 15-20 years ago, where a Danish mother was arrested for leaving her baby outside a restaurant, although she was in clear sight of the stroller. Here in Denmark we didn't understand why it was such a big deal. But it was all over the news in the US.

[@ThorclanTrek]

The stroller outside thing, is a thing all over Scandinavia. The simple answer is that it is very safe to do but people usually sit so they can watch the baby...

[@malinevensen3993]

Trondheim is my favorite town in Norway, lived there for 3 years, and the home of my ancestors. The town is home of the mighty Rosenborg (football team also). Nice cathedral from 1100-1200s, and in general a pretty town. Cold winters... But nice town. And very nice people.

[@lizautheim3687]

Love your videos :D The baby stroller thing... I guess it's because of two things. One is the practice with letting kids sleep outside when they nap during daytime. The second is the level of trust here. It's considered safe to do this most places :)

[@mayvedal2316]

The stroller thing; Nature and fresh air is valued highly in Norway. If you see a stroller somewhere don’t be alarmed, the baby is safe and sleeping soundly, well clad and warm, while the mom or dad is close by.

[@cyberroar]

0:24 This is only for professions with variable office hours me thinks. But, yes a lot of people leave early on Fridays. And some of those who take the Friday off, travel to their cabins on Thursday evening. 3:32 KveldS mat = evening food / supper. Can be eaten anytime in the evening after getting hungry again. 5:37 Double open sandwich, twice the fun ;) 6:56 Also in Sweden. You can also get it unpacked, so you can make the size you want. The worst is when people throw away snus at the ground or other easy to see places.

[@annajulnes965]

At my work there is fredagskake every week. Many of my coworkers take the day off or leaves early on fridays to go to their cabins to hunt, relax or do sports. The winter games or football (depends on season) is always on a screen somewhere at the office and everyone brings matpakke for lunch 😅 Not really proud of some of our habits, but they are so normal in a lot of worplaces that you don't really think about how weird they are.

[@jaenmartens5697]

Another cute habit I witnessed there is sitting “in the dark” I mean staying up late around the solstice and refusing to turn on any lights, enjoying instead the luxury of midnight sun❤️

In Israel, everything shuts down around noon on Friday, also, but it is due to the beginning of shabbat at sundown. People go home after stopping at the market and make their food in advance for Saturday, go to a service at synagogue, call loved ones to wish them a wonderful shabbat.

The fredagskake sounds like something unique to your workplace. Never heard of it personally. Kveldsmat can be anywhwre between 21-23 in the evening

[@elenasoroka7030]

There are a lot of Friday cake, Friday waffles or Friday coffee. Some have special Friday lunch.

[@kreaturen]

Especially smaller workplaces tend to have this... Probably to incentivise more people to show up on a Friday 😂

[@cousinluigi]

Yeah, leaving the baby outside in the stroller happens, and whether it’s a good thing or not, is a debate that’s been ongoing for some decades now. It also is a debate I’m not prepared to participate in anytime soon, as I don’t have any kids (at least that I’m aware of), and if I do end up getting any, I don’t think there’ll be a chance of me leaving the wee-un in the pram outside, neither here in Ireland or on any visits back in Norway. Kveldsmat = supper ; relatively common in all the Nordic countries. Also in UK and Ireland, but here on the isles, the meal called “tea” (not to be confused with the beverage of the same name) is often interchanged with it. Either a large dinner for tea and something light for supper, or the exact opposite, e.g. sandwiches and scones for tea and a hearty dinner for supper. Stacked open sandwiches for packed lunch reminds me of school. You can also get separator sheets (“mellomleggspapir”) to put between each sandwich. Homemade jam is delicious! I remember my grandma making jams and jellies from all sorts of berries and fruits. I’m surprised I didn’t get diabetes with the sweet tooth those jams gave me. Snus originated in Sweden as an alternative method of consuming tobacco, because soldiers were not allowed to smoke near ammunition. It quickly gained popularity in Norway too, mostly with soldiers and rural population. It’s venture into the urban market didn’t soar until the indoor smoking ban in 2004 or thereabouts.

Thats way back in the days (when it was common for woman to be housewifes). Now its more like 17.00. Who he hell gets off work in time to have dinner 15:30?

[@benediktea1287]

Dag Ut I said WE eat at 15:30-16:00. I am infact a stay-at-home mom to a little child. My boyfriend, whom I live with, works shifts where he’s ether done at 13:00 or 21:00 (if he doesn’t have the day of). And in that case we still eat middag at 15:30-16:00. So yeah, thanks for the input, but a lot of people are home with kids all day, and a lot of people have jobs where they get off before 15:30.

[@synorse4062]

Hey come on! Kveldsmat is the same as "supper". Snus is NOT a norwegian habit, its less than 14% that uses snus instead of smoking and it is basically a young people thing. Harrytur can hardly be called a habit as it is just available for those who lives along or close to the swedish border. It is nothing else than common border trade as you also find between Portugal and Spain. I think you will find many differences in how people live and what "habits" they have depending on where in Norway they live. Since you live in the middle of Oslo, you probably experience a more cosmopolitan life than what the large proportion of Norwegians do. I still have to say that I really like all your videos and find them quite entertaining. You are a brilliant person and an excellent representative of Portugal. We are proud and happy that you chose us even though Scotland would be a good alternative. Keep up the good work!

[@licencetostay007]

A really nice video, and all of it true! :p But you should also mention the 'dugnad', that norwegians typically participate in during April/May, to prepare for the national day :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

That's a good point! ☺️

[@unniisaksen4347]

Dugnad is not only for the national day, dugnad is when people come together to do things like clean up in the street where they live, repair things in the kindergarden/playground and many organisations have dugnad. It can be the parents of childrens sportsgroup or a huntingclub that need to fix their clubhouse. It can be someone who needs help to wash down a apartment and they can ask their friends to come on a dugnad.It is a combination of tasks to do and a social gathering which usually ends with some cake and coffee or even ends with a party. It can be done all year around when something needs to be done, but it is most common to do things during spring/ early summer if it is things to be done outside.

[@juliam5628]

What a beautiful country I need to go there 😻💖

[@katthehuman3324]

I think the leaving babies outside in the stroller is a nordic thing. my mom says it is supposed to expose the baby to the climate so they get used to it and isnt so frail when they become young kids playing outside (in my town it is normal to do it at home too and not just when at a restaurant or supermarket) and there isnt a lot of crime in norway so there is no reason being scared of the baby being kidnapped, it would be more likely that someone took the stroller and left the kid there😂

[@NancyCronk]

When my husband and I lived in married student housing at a large U.S. university, we have many European friends, many of whom also had young children. I remember two things that shocked me --- a German couple tucked their children into bed, then locked the door and went out on a date. (This was before cell phones and affordable home cameras.) Another friend from Iceland used to do exactly what you said -- they were used to parking their baby stroller outside restaurants and stores -- with the baby in it -- while they shopped or ate. When asked, she said, Iceland is an island, so there is no crime because criminals have no place to hid. They can't leave the island easily.

[@r-bascus]

Snus became a bigger thing after the smoking law was introduced in the 90's. Before that, there was something that, at least I thought, was a Swedish thing. Harrytur is meat and alcohol and candy and lots of it. Do make a video of harrytur, he he.

[@jansebb]

Before the smoking law only people who played hockey and people who drove for a living used snus. Also people in rural trøndelag.

I teach seventh graders in a part of America that was settled locally by a lot of Scandinavian settlers. Many of the families maintain close links with Finland, Sweden, and Norway. There are still a small number of my 12 year old boys who occasionally use snoose. I suspect that its because of the cultural links. I worry about their health if they're starting too early. I wonder when Norwegian boys begin using it.

[@licencetostay007]

The same age as when youth in other countries start smoking. Snus became a thing in the late 90s, when government restrictions on smoking started to appear. (But I've never seen 12 year olds using snus, though. That's quite extreme..)

[@anthonyholton2886]

you have to be 18 to buy snus in norway, but younger teens always seem to find a way to get it.. 12 year olds was a bit young though..

[@Jadys_]

From my experience, people that use snus often start around the age of 16-18

From what you´re saying i get a strong feeling you live in Oslo, most of these "habits" you talk about are not Norwegian habits but habits of people living in city´s and mostly Oslo. People living in Bergen do not go on Harry trips to Sweden, people living in the countryside do not go on hyttetur every weekend(Some take weekend trips to the city´s, but not like every weekend) and people are not less productive on a friday, because they have already worked the Friday-hours during rest of the week.(Some people may just slack off tho) Friday cake? Is that a thing in Oslo? I have worked for more than 25 years and never ever had people bring a cake on friday.(Birthdays are different) But i do not work in Oslo.

[@DillaryHuff]

Snus is originally a Swedish invention. A lot of people go on «harrytur» to Sweden to buy snus, because it costs as little as 1/4 the price of what they cost in Norway. As someone who uses snus, I think it’s very understandable that some foreigners think it looks disgusting. Personally, I think it’s less gross than smoking. Both smoking and snus may lead to different types of cancer, but snus is less imposing on the people around the user. Fun fact: A side effect of long-term use of snus is that it can damage your gum. On the flipside, it also kills some of the bacteria in your mouth and reduces risk of caveties.

Don't get me wrong, I love Serbia as a Coutry a lot, but when it comes to people, I just don't have same interests as they have. For me, it's so stressful being here, and I feel that I kinda stucked here! At least, I know that I can't change a people, but I can an enviroment, so I need to ask for some informations. I also hope that nobody is gonna be offended! Question is: how can I move to Norway and live there, since I have Serbian citizenship?

Danes leave their babies outside in their strollers in all sorts of weather because they believe it’s good for their health, the kids are dressed for the weather so they aren’t in any danger. In Canada you cannot do this because you would be charged with child endangerment, run the risk of having it kidnapped &/or the social workers will definitely pay you a visit & you could lose custody of your child!

Sure it may be two toppings. Combining ham and cheese is normal, at least where I live, and many used that for school lunch. But mostly it is one topping, but many toppings are combined also. I even witnessed people combining nugatti and salami (sound strange, but tasted ok, sweet and salty).
