So on Maundy Thursday (Skjærtorsdag, right before Easter), a lot of Norwegians undergo a mass migration over to Sweden to perform what is known as "harryhandel" (harry being a derogatory word meaning something like "tacky" or "tasteless"), to essentially buy cheap consumables. For Norwegians this day is a holiday, but not for Swedes. We even have a reality TV show in Norway revolving around harryhandel.

In smaller towns it’s common to say hello even to strangers. I believe this is true almost everywhere in the developed world. The larger the place, the more anonymous you are and the less likely you are to interact with a total stranger.

Erik Actually, the supermarkets in Stockholm and the other major cities are even cheaper than most small towns, especially in the North. I grew up in Gothenburg, lived in several villages in the North for ten years after high school, lived in Stockholm now for the past two years. I’ve never spent this little on groceries and essentials as I do right now, and Gothenburg was cheaper too. Not as a percentage of my salary, but just in the amount of SEK. Logistics is expensive. Housing is expensive in Stockholm, everything else is equally cheap or even cheaper of your day-to-day living compared to the rest of the country.

The only thing that is significantly more expensive here in Stockholm is housing and eating out at some places. It's like they don't realize how logistics work.

@@irondasgr I gave your comment an up vote. That’s sound advice. What you couldn’t know is that I already speak German at the B2 level. My goal is to speak German, Spanish, and French at C1. (A1 = beginner. C2 = almost bilingual.) I would like eventually to have more than a superficial understanding of Swedish or Norwegian. Norway with its mountains and fjords is a country I definitely want to explore. As an outsider, I wish Sweden, Norway, and Denmark would adopt a common Standard Scandinavian language. I think that would have many advantages for all 3 countries. But apparently, Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes are content to switch to English, when they can’t understand each other.

@@alwaysuseless I understand. Since you speak German the Dutch choice would be supreme. But of course you know what you need. It's just that (as a language teacher myself) it always feels really a pity to listen to someone to want to put so much effort just for a trip and then nada. Unfortunately Norwegian speak only the Norwegians and only in Norway. I'd like to learn some Swedish myself but I always come around when I think "what on earth are you going to do with this ability?" Just watch Sa ska det lotta? Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to worth the price...

@@irondasgr For a first trip to Norway, I will probably know only a few basic expressions like Hello, Yes, please, No thank you, Where is the restroom? In other words, I'll have to rely on Norwegians understanding English. For my first trip to Germany, I had had 2 years of German at university, but had forgotten, for example, how to use the familiar address. The much younger nephew of a friend I made found it very funny to be addressed, in effect, as Sir. You go with what you've got. For the next couple of years, I'll be mainly focused on the big 3: German, Spanish, and French.

@@alwaysuseless Of course, it's a great feeling this of belonging and inclusion when you find yourself in a foreign country of which the language you speak. I have studied Italian and this last Christmas I spent it in Rome. I was there for 15 days and at some point I realized that I was in the bus and had people asking me for direction. Italians. In a couple of cases, indeed, I knew how to answer effectively and it was as weird as much as magnificent. In just a fortnight I was already turned into a "vero Romano". I wish that you enjoy the greatness of this sentiment too in Norway sometime.

i like norway! very beutiful place and nice people! and their language always makes me happy! :)

Do a video asking what music do they listen.

Älskar er med Norge! 😄🎉❤️

Har saknat Norskarna på Byske havsbad i sommar.

Neuroleptika. Do you swedes come out worse with Danes and Finns ? No shame to be from Finland for us Norwegians at least ! Then the Finns also have a lot to be proud of ! :) Both Norway, Sweden and Finland have achieved a lot !!! Then it's worse with the Danes ! What do they have to be proud of ??? Red sausages ??? Danish people are probably just as jealous of you Swedes as us Norwegians !!!

A perfection would have been to add a short screenshot of a map with the places people had accents from!!!

The Norwegian (and Swedish) word for "child" is "barn". I have heard that it is "bairn" in Scotland. A connection? Norwegian fisher people have reportedly been a conduit of mutual influence in language between Norway and Scotland (and not just the Vikings).

Norway and Scotland have both similar beutiful landscape. Norwegian whisky is not so good, ha, ha. In Norway (Oslo) they get "dritings", in Scotland they get "drunk". Happens frequently.

@Pat Micucci Don't you know that Swedes created Russia, you need to go back to school.

I haven't spend any real time in Norway or with any norwegians but I hope to someday. We have to stick together and help eachothers as brothers and sisters. I'm glad to see that these people have the same feelings towards swedes as I and many swedes has towards them.

In your next video you should ask what people think about joining the two countries into one.

Love back to Norway from Sweden! \o/ See you like the great sibling you like to mess with sometimes (with all the Norwegian jokes) but only love deep down :) And love to the Danes as well \o/

Älska Norge ❤️

I definitely agree with the guy at 5:15. That’s the reason why I subscribe to this channel. Norsk er et fint språk!

I'm lucky I have good friends in Norway and have been there many times. If you are from the USA watching this . Some thing you may not know . Norway and Sweden have the highest standard of living in the world.

Vi tycker om er också 😉 trots att ni går på tur och äter smörgås till lunch.

I was once invited to the home of a Norwegian Student friend when I was in Drammen. I had been warned to say 'Takk for Maten' after the meal and duly did so and I then volunteered to dry the dishes after the meal (This was the 1960s) only to be screamed at by the hostess (my friend's mother!) when I put down the tea towel (which was yellow) on a blue-backed chair!!!! I (of course) didn't understand but it was soon explained to me!!

Tack, ni är också bra :)

Kärlek från Sverige 🇸🇪🇳🇴

Love from another Germanic Country i like both Countries a lot!

As a Canadian I went to Sweden for a week a few years ago and I found it unsettling. Bars closed really early, everyone was trashed by 11:30 and people weren't friendlier once they were drunk. The food scene was also super disappointing. I have a distinct memory of a woman falling on the cobblestone street with her bags of groceries right next to me and I stopped to help her pick them up and asked if she was okay, she was not impressed I stopped to help her. She seemed shocked I assisted to help and shooed me away angrily. As a Canadian I was taken aback by that. Sweden felt unnatural and dystopian and the people seemed pretentious, fearful and standoffish. Watching this video I was wondering if Norwegians picked up on this or if their culture was the same. I had been to Iceland many times and Denmark once and I found the people to be more jovial and unrestricted in the way they expressed themselves and more similar to how people are all over the world. I left Sweden without hearing one child laugh, cry, shout or even a dog bark. It was all very suspicious. I'm sure there are lovely people there but the overall vibe was off-putting. I would like to see Norway but I don't want a do-over of the experience I had in Sweden.
