Typical things about NORWAY | PART 1

I have brought you before a video with the most typical things about Portugal and you really liked it so it only seemed right to make one about the country I'm currently living in: NORWAY! YAY!
PART 2: • Typical things about N...

I love Norway and Norwegians so I really hope that this video do not offend anyone. I'm referring to Norwegians in general and just in a harmless way :)
I would love if you could also share some of the most typical things you found in Norway or in your countries!

I don't get why other countries doesn't take their shoes off before entering your home, like it gets dirty and it's way more comfortable without shoes

[@Lilimazi]

Actually they're other countries that do the same, in Belgium we take of our shoes immediately when get home, it's more respectful, less dirty and SO COMFORTABLE!

[@taeminsant4375]

Lina Mortrier i know there are a few countries but there is more that doesn't take off their shoes

[@paemroot3942]

where you dont take your shoes off then?

[@samd8872]

in America (not talking only about the United States, I'm talking about the continent) at least in my country (a tropical one near to Panama) we don't do that (excuse me for my bad grammar)

[@paemroot3942]

maybe because you have less rain :)

[@Onnarashi]

I'm Norwegian, so I recognise many of the things you mentioned. You mentioned that we are shy and closed off. Well, I think it's not just that people are shy. I think that it also has to do with the concept of personal space and not "intruding" on someone. Norwegians are careful to not be intrusive, so we may see it as polite to not talk to strangers in public, for instance. This is probably a strange concept for a Portuguese person. You also mentioned that people are careful to say anything negative about others. I think this too is about being polite and "unintrusive", meaning people don't want to judge you. I've never had a problem with giving my opinions even though I'm Norwegian, but I think culturally Norwegians tend to emphasise social harmony and cooperation. Alcohol is something that historically has been a big part of everyday life in Norway. In the Viking Age every big occasion was celebrated with beer, like births, weddings, winster solstice and deaths of loved ones. In the 1800's a lot of people died as a result of disease, murder or simply freezing to death due to alcohol consumption, so the government started implimenting strict regulations on alcohol, like creating monopolies and only selling alcohol at certain hours. It seems to be a trend in the "beer belt" (countries where more beer than wine is consumed) of Europe to drink a lot during a short amount of time (usually weekends), also called binge drinking. Portugal would be a "wine county" so I suspect your drinking culture is different. By the way, I thought I should mention that since you're from Portugal, there is a dish called bacalhau (we spell it "bacalao"), which has a very long history with Norway. Spanish and Norwegian mechants have bought Norwegian dried fish for centuries, and for at least 500 years they've used Norwegian dried fish to make bacalhau. The dish is even popular here in Norway. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacalhau

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Erik The Dread Thanks for your comment! I agree with you! I also think Norwegians are very polite and have a different "type" of personal space than mine. At the beginning was very confusing but now I'm quite used to it and I like it! :) I already tried Bacalao and I really like it :) For us portuguese Bacalhau is the name of the fish, so Bacalhau means Torsk / cod fish, and we make several dishes with it. I think it's nice you had invented your own dish with torsk and called it Bacalao Hahah :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@rucsic83]

+Erik The Dread I.m afraid your not ”intruding” attitude is not just native, is also cultivated by your society in order to make you more obedient. I.m not intruding with the other, even if he cries out for help.The whole Europe speaks about the latest scandal with Barnavernet, but not your media. Why is that? Ok, you have faith in yours institutions, very nice, but your media should present facts, without interpretation or bad reference.

[@Onnarashi]

Ruxy Rux Excuse me? Whom am I obedient to? You know NOTHING about me yet presume to lecture me about my behaviour? Not only that, but you want to lecture me about the behaviour of my fellow Norwegians? How DARE you? I don't care about some manufactured story sold by abusive parents to excuse their abuses. Either respect our laws or leave our country!

I thought it was normal everywhere on the planet to take your shoes off before you walk inside the home? :S

[@cinthyarosaslugo495]

+Patriot'e Kurd Tesla im from Mexico and we NEVER take our shoes off when we walk inside the house, but in the other hand, we eat bacalao too!! that's crazy, usually on Christmas or New Year's Eve

[@joannas22]

+Patriot'e Kurd Tesla In Bulgaria we take our shoes off inside the house as well, so I was thinking like you. But when I went to Portugal I understood that people there walk with their shoes inside the house. To be honest, for me this is strange and I don't like it, cuz it leaves dirt all around plus it's uncomfortable. :D

[@fartloudYT]

+Patriot'e Kurd Tesla that doesnt make much sense since someone can steal your shoes or it can snow in your shoes lol. you walk in and leave the shoes inside near the door, hang your coat and go in.

you try to tell me mhm'ing is not normal

+Shubelu Nzeogwu It isn't. Not like Norwegians and Swedes does it. We use "mhm" in so many ways. When you start listening to it, you can't unhear it.

mhm

+Shubelu Nzeogwu We say more MmM than mHm actually. Hard to explain by writing. The woman in this video didn't quite nail it.

[@rogerhanssen1629]

Hi. I liked it. I am Norwegian, lived many years in Australia. I was concidered rude just after I moved to Australia, because of my Norwegian way of talking to people, or rather not talking. Now I am back in Norway, almost scaring people I meet, because I adapted Aussie way of talking to strangers. I prefere the Aussie way

[@11karotte]

Well you posted this two years ago, so I don't know if you'll answer but I'll try: How do Norwegians get to know each other when they like... don't talk at first? I feel like this question is super weird, but I'm genuinely wondering. How do you become friends? I'm asking because I'll be going to Norway for half a year. I don't want to scare people off by getting too close into their personal space too fast, but I also really want to get to know natives and if possible make a friend or two...

[@Mari-ru2lk]

​@@11karotte 1. Norwegians gets extremely friendly and extroverted when they are drunk 2. We don't really mind when someone else is taking the initiative to get to know us, but most of us don´t like to be the one who "start the conversation" with a stranger, so don't be afraid to approach someone. 3. Avoid small talk,I think i can speak for almost every norwegian when I say that small talk is boring, awkward and that we want to avoid it. ;)

[@11karotte]

@@Mari-ru2lk hey thanks! :) This is a huge relief. Starting a conversation is something I have absolutely no problem with. And if I'm allowed to pass the tedious bit that is smalltalk quickly, I'm happy to do so :D

[@ikkirr]

@@11karotte Did you end up going? How was it? I'm preparing for potentially studying abroad at UiO next year.

[@11karotte]

@@ikkirr Yes I went and it was awesome! I don't know where you are from. But I am German and I realised that Germans have the same mindset as Norwegians (generally speaking of course) when it comes to superficial friendship. So basically when you befriend someone, they are friends for life. But what that also means is that you are not part of the group right away. I have also lived in the US, Spain and Chile and there it is the other way around. Newcomers are taken in right away, which makes you feel at home much faster, but as soon as you are gone, you are forgotten. Obviously these countries also have deep friendship. That's not what I want to say. Just that in general you have many superficial friends. Whereas in Norway and Germany you have few but good friends. What I recommend deeply is going to one of the many clubs UiO has. There are always newcomers there so the friend structures are not as set in stone. Also one version of becoming friends is just being around each other a lot. And if your club has let's say three meetings a week you will be seeing these people a lot. I was at the Capoeira (martial arts dance kind of thing... search it on KZbin) and it was super cool and the people so friendly! Also I don't know if you are learning Norwegian or not. But I strongly recommend it. It is my favorite language right now and that means something^^ It has a really nice flow and is very metaphoric. Also if you learn Norwegian, Norway will become accessible to you in a completely different way. And the advanced Norwegian courses at UiO are SO cool! Because all you do is talking and read interesting literature and then talk about that. And you will be people from all over the world so talking is really fun^^ Well that was quite some spam. But if you read through this and still want to know more feel free to ask! :D

[@KOSKentOlaf]

Off course you take your shoes off. It gets dirty if you don't ;-)

[@odrunnkolltveit2773]

We do..but others don`t..It get`s dirty, but they are more conserned about their feet than their flores.. ;-)

[@teddie3317]

I thought everyone kept their shoes on until you enter the house and put them on the floor by the door?

[@elinnna7026]

This is by far the best "typical Norway" video compared to others I've seen. The fact that you are not norwegian makes it better 😁 I hope you stay in Norway and get to experience the little things as well. 😊

[@letshaveabreak9797]

I've been to Oslo last fall for a few days, and my first impression was that Norwegians are friendly, openminded people. Many had a smile on their face, and some were even singing and dancing to street music. I have read about the clichee of the reserved Norwegian, and there surely is truth in it, but I personally and as a tourist didn't experience it :)!

+RafaChannel3001 De nada!! I'm glad I could help :) I think you will love Norway!

[@XxdejaviciousxXX]

I lived in Spain for 9 years and were accustomed to drinking a glass of wine or a beer in the afternoon on a weekday. But when I moved to Bergen (to study nursing) and told my friends and others that I liked to drink a glass of wine (after a tiring day) they acted kind of shocked. I guess drinking (even a glass) on a weekday is associated with alcoholism? Which is strange considering they (now I’m generalizing) often wait to drink in huge amounts on the weekend.

[@christianrbeck8596]

So true

[@brunostmoritz]

Come on.. Drinking alone is nice. I am Portuguese and one of the things I love the most is to get home after a working day and drink a few beers without no one to break my balls.

[@mharro88]

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+TheEmiliaWorld Aww :) Thank you!

[@halfdana]

I just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm glad I did. It's always interesting, fun, and sometimes very revealing seeing your own country's social customs and traditions, your way of life and way of interacting with those around you, while looking in a "cultural mirror" provided by someone from another country. Loved hearing about your experiences, and I have to say, not just based on this video, that you absolutely nailed a lot of it. Can't wait to visit Portugal one day, and definitely learn some Portuguese. IMO it's one of the most beautiful languages for singing, along with Italian. I listen to quite a few Poruguese and Brazilian artists, but unlike Italian, I can't understand more than a word here or there. Just love how it flows with music!

[@knutholt3486]

Matpakke is any meal you prepare, pack, and take with you to eat on job, school, or hikes. That slice of bread is called smørbrød. Such packed meals often contain those slices of bread, but not necessarily.

[@lindsay_may]

Do you assemble the Smøbrød at school/work? In Australia we usually have sandwiches in our packed lunches but we use two slices of bread so you can make it at home and just wrap it up and take it like that.

[@gs4458]

+Lindsay May It's up to that certain person! When you're attending school it's normal to prepare it at home, and I guess it just depends on the job you have. My mum works at a school so she prepares it at the kitchen there, my dad delivers stuff so he prepares it at home, while I work at a library and I prepare it at home as well.

[@knutholt3486]

Big workplaces in Norway use to have cafeterias where you can buy whole meals or ingredients to assemble a meal, including slices of bread and sit down comfortably to eat. A typical pattern for many Norwegians is to take some packed food with you and add something from the cafeteria. Some big schools might have the same service, but most schools do not. In elementary schools cooking is a part of the curriculum. The kids use to sit down afterwards and eat the things they have made in the cooking class. Sometimes this is a whole dinner.

[@elin6143]

The problem with "typical things about Norway", in my opinion, is that it's such a "long" (not big) country, so both the weather, landscape, how people feel about the enviornment, how people socialize etc. varies quite a lot from where in Norway you're staying. For example I believe people from Northern Norway are quite different from people that lives in Oslo for example, both in good and bad ways.

[@elin6143]

+elinawesome Also, I am curious to where in Norway you're staying?

[@kaavest]

+elinawesome It,s wariations inside the country and people are quite different from plase to plase. You know this go to a cabin trip etc. Not all do that, i newer go on such trips otherwise if we have something with the worc etc and ewen then i just leave in the same moment the day is over.Also the people from inside the country. Telemark and all theese plases play on their culture to "sell" their region.Bergen where i,m from is a typical Norwegian west coast city. Quite something for itself with similarityes to other hanseatic cityes=)

[@MrLudvig01]

Only good ways

[@leekim8619]

I can not live in Oslo. It's not Norway for me anymore and way too international for me. In Bergan there is a junkie around every corner. One can kick syringes in the streets of Oslo. Big drug problem and my son is a Kings guard. We have a BIG drug problem that is in one's face.

Norwegians are so fucking cool and progressive. I was in Oslo during their national day, 17th of may, and there were parties everywhere and I and my gay partner became really drunk, so we had hard sex in the middle of the street and the Norwegians did not mind at all, they just cheered on. And they are super non-racist. Many of the girls had sex with different ethnic minorities in the park just outside the kings castle, and the Norwegian men did not mind at all, so I believe there are no prejudice, sexism and racism in Norway. They really enjoy and support multiculturalism and sexual freedom/experimentation. Coolest nation on earthy of you ask me!!!!

You are really a great story teller. I really like your video

[@hanssgt]

Thanks for sharing!

[@daniel4647]

"Just a precaution I guess", I like that. Know this video is ancient now, but I'll comment anyway. First of, we only sell beer in the store, nothing with an alcohol level above 5%, for that you have to go to a liquor store, we call them polet, from monopolet, which means monopoly, because traditionally our government has a monopoly on the sale of alcohol. This changed a few year ago so now we can at least buy beer like normal people, but wine or spirits you still need to go to polet. I think they stop the sale so early to give pubs a chance to survive. Alcohol is heavily taxed here, they say it's to prevent us from drinking, but in reality it's just to make extra tax money, before the oil we used to be really poor. And because alcohol is so expensive, especially in pubs, most people will avoid pubs, or at the very least drink a bunch before they go to one. I think these heavy restrictions on alcohol actually make the drinking culture a lot worse, it's like peoples logic is "if I'm going to spend this much on something I better at least get shitfaced or it will have been a waste". I think that if alcohol was cheaper and more easily accessible we'd have a more normal drinking culture. This is also why Norwegians on vacation are always drunk out of their minds, because alcohol is so cheep everywhere else so it seems like a total waste to not drink as much as you possibly can while you're there. We're also very repressed, like you pointed out, so we need loads of alcohol to reproduce, it's the only way we meet new people.

awesome video, and i could relate to all of the points ahah

[@CommanderXED]

Great video! Thanks!

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+CommanderXED You're very welcome :)

[@DarkChiasa]

Many things, like the one about the sounds they make to agree or show that they are listening, are the same in Germany. :D To me their summers sound perfect actually, haha. I don't like it's when it's too hot, though I guess to many people tempretures over that wouldn't be hot at all. :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+DarkChiasa I also really like the summer here in Norway! For me it's not hot at all (I come from Portugal and we have really hot temperatures). But I really like Norwegian summer :D

[@kathinkamarie5799]

"Matpakke" means lunch and we call the slice of bread "brødskive" 🇳🇴👻

[@ingercathrinehalandselwatt8394]

Matpakke = Packed lunch , Packed meal

[@ShaerAhmed]

it was fun watching this lively (and lovely) video! visiting Norway and watching the Aurora has always been my dream. maybe someday it will come true :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

I'm glad you like the vídeo. I hope one day you can come to Norway and fufill your dream :D

[@Oligarchi]

I'm a Norwegian living in Trondheim, and you're pretty much spot on :). Nice video!

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Oligarchi Thanks! :D

[@ihsankennedid3768]

I am Norwegian and this was pretty funny to see😆👍.

[@francoisdaureville323]

[@roucoupse]

I really enjoyed their bathroom, with a warm floor.

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+roucoupse Oh yes!!! I love that! :D

[@GreatDayEveryone]

And the down bed and comforter! So nice

[@dricci40]

somehow this video taught me more things about portugal than norway, anyway good job! thanks for sharing

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+dricci40 Haha I can understand why :P Thanks! :)

[@maxandersen6532]

It's interesting what you say about architecture because my last time in Oslo I was amazed by the new part of the city.

[@jubmelahtes]

you like brunost. thank you. I like you. and i totally agree with all of this

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Olav Wiik Moland To be honest, at the beginning I didn't quite liked it. But then it kinda grew in me. I love it especially with some strawberry jam :D

[@jubmelahtes]

I know right. And there are so many different types of brunost. The Christmas ones are delicious. You should try it on Norwegian waffles with strawberry jam and suor creme. Yum. When I go abroad i "smuggle" it with me once I was asked if it were some kind of drug...

[@MonAmieDesserts]

Olav Wiik Moland Hahaha I tried with the waffles already and it's delicious! But I never tried other types of brunost besides the "most common one". I have to investigate that xD

[@jubmelahtes]

Do that my favorite is the one called bestemorost (I think) and it's much sweeter

[@MonAmieDesserts]

I will definitely try it! :D

[@Flyout91]

I am french living in Paris but I lived in Trondheim for five months in the context of an Erasmus. Best five months of my life. This country is awesome and people in Norway are really kind and seems pretty happy. Love the language too. And well, norwegian girls are absolutely wonderful and many young people are so sporty ! PS : Brunost is the worst cheese I have ever tasted. And I am french so I am supposed to have good references xD Sorry Norwegian friends :D But I love every thing else in your country :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Flyout91 Two years ago I was also an Erasmus exchange student in Trondheim! :)

[@siljeholmstrand9041]

+Flyout91 Haha I am Norwegian, and I have to agree with you. Brunost really is the worst cheese, but I guess it's one of those things you have to try many times to make 'em good. I just don't want to eat it enough times for it to be good haha :)

[@BrUSomania]

+Flyout91 Objection! Brunost is awesome! Well, in my opinion ;p

[@espeneidesund8574]

I am a norwegian and i eat brunost almost every day:))

[@Flyout91]

Haha I also tasted something as weird as brunost : I think it was called fish oil. Amazingly awful x)

[@diaaway]

This is the first video I have seen from you, I can say that i loved your view on norway, especially the "hyttetur" experience :) hope you enjoy many other "specialities" of norway! :D (like the christmas specialties, lutefisk, ribbe and pinnekjøtt! :D)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+diaaway Thank you! :) I already tried lutefisk (and I really hate it, sorry haha) and I also tried pinnekjøtt (I really liked it but the fact that I can see the hole head it's a bit strange hahahah but very tasty! )

[@todamy3705]

Very cool video!

[@martin94990]

"norwegians just dissapear"

[@Rebellen007]

Give me a bottle of vodka and I'll talk for hours. :)

[@Z4G.]

+Rebellen007 Or heimbrent ;)

[@MuSiCLoVeRrrNORWAY]

+CrazyGamerZ4G u mean moonshine? kid

[@augustramberg2549]

+Markus-Olsen0_0 no one calls it moonshine in norway you moron.

[@GeneralJokk]

+Markus-Olsen0_0 Haha you two guys are funny stupid fuckers

[@HappySwedishPancake]

+Rebellen007 well this escalated quickly....

[@T3n50r]

Probably the best description of Norway I've heard so far.

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+T3n50r Awww! That is so nice of you to say! Thank you!

[@simon6478]

I like the way you say brunost! Keep making videos. You are really good at it! :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Mr. Beardo haha I know.. I have to improve my Norwegian pronunciation! ;) Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

[@simon6478]

+Mon Amie No, it is really good. Really. So charming, that I had to rewind and watch it again! Ha en god helg :)

[@MonAmieDesserts]

God Helg! :)

[@shoaibyounas331]

Great video.You look beautifull😊

[@MonAmieDesserts]

Thank you!

[@UnexcitingChris]

I've never been to Oslo, so I can't really compare it properly to Sandnes where I live, it sounds very different tho :o

[@bambinosto]

+UnexcitingChris ok tenk stavanger bare med ekstremt mange narkomaner

[@UnexcitingChris]

martin eike :s

[@Rebellen007]

+martin eike Haha:)

[@rageaden250]

Koss e det forskjellig d e jo snø i vinter her i Stavanger og skjønneche ka du meine for å være heilt ærlige??

[@Bulldog12189]

leste sandnes som "sadness", men å bo i sandnes er jo ganske trist da

[@BlackBikiniTops]

I loved this video so much, definitely want to visit Norway soon and see the northern lights! Xxx

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+BlackBikiniTops YES!!!! You have to come hereeeeeee

[@JonilsonLima-inMagnet]

I'm from Brazil and I have much interest in things of Norway. I loved your video ...

[@LSogE3]

Haha, it hardly reaches 20 degrees here in summer.

[@123biffer]

+LSogE3 I guess it depends on where in the country you stay. The stretch between Oslo and Kristiansand usually have summers in the 25c range but they also have cold snowy winters. The Bergen area usually have summers in the 20c range and winters with little to no snow and temperatures between 0c to 5c, so mild winters and mild summers there.

[@LSogE3]

123biffer Dude, i spend the entire summer in a town called Mandal at the very southern tip of Norway, and there it is only between 18 and 24 degrees maximum in the summer.

[@123biffer]

+LSogE3 Two years ago I was in a small place south of Kristiansand, stayed there for 7 days. It was between 30c and 32c every day. I asked a local if it was common temperature there during summer, he answered that it was more common with temperatures around 25c.

[@sigve9230]

+LSogE3 Mandal is a nice place to live.. (lived ther for 1 year, but now i live far north in Noray.. Sun 24/7 at the summer!!!

[@COLLAXHD]

LS you lieing bitch lmao

[@alexiatorrez7680]

Midnight sun, must be so romantic

[@rakdos91]

+Alex Torres midnight sun means midnight seagulls sex. "helps" you sleep. and then the other little tweeters start singing their songs as well.

[@jacknexus4493]

so there was this american that came to norway and wanted to see the midnight sun. so at midnight she went out, but all she found was the regular sun...

[@pethuelbell6627]

Educative. Learnt a lot

[@harbossa8430]

I found this really funny and entertaining. To say the least - spot on :D The ninja disappearing at parties are so true, at least where I live ^^

[@MonAmieDesserts]

+Michael Eriksen YAY! hahah Yes the ninja think happens quit often I would say xD Thank you for your lovely comment!

[@harbossa8430]

+Mon Amie Anytime :) Hope you're enjoying your stay in Norway (y)

[@gunnar6674]

Totally opposite experience here in the middle of Norway. When leaving family parties, even with like 20 or 30 guests, the custom here is to say goodbye to every single other guest. In a more youthful party, we'll just shout goodbye to everyone.

[@rizandro]

Where in Norway do you live? The snow, weather and especially the midnight sun varies on which place you live.

[@mysterychemical]

My reaction to entire video : mhhmmm mhmmm mhmmm mhmmm mhmmmm

[@daserstereichen]

I like the part about escaping to the country :) Interesting indeed.

[@metalmusicmachine7]

Fiquei ansiosa por conhecer a Noruega! Parabéns pelo canal. Beijinho
