    This is wild. Most Norwegians I have met throw the flowers with the food-waste, I have never seen anyone do anything different. If it is a party it is a custom to bring your own drink for yourself. If it get's late, the host of the party will often open bottles of wine and whiskey and so on, for everyone to enjoy. If it is dinner it custom to bring drinks and candy/snacks for everyone to share. So that is the same?

    There is "liquid yoghurt" in all shops in Norway, it is called Biola or Drikke Yoghurt, and they look like the milk. You also have Kefir, it is a very required taste, sour taste, but it is much better for you. You can get brown Eggs in Norway as well, even blue/green? But the breed of chicken in Norway lays white eggs.

    Av skade blir man klok. Bakom skyen er himmelen alltid blå. Bedre føre var, enn etter snar. Blind høne finner også korn. Blod er tykkere enn vann. Bedre med en fugl i hånden, enn ti på taket. Bedre sent enn aldri. Bedre med en grå bot enn en naken fot. Brent barn skyr ilden. Borte bra, men hjemme best. Den som ikke har nattero, har heller ikke dagen god. Den reiser fortere, som reiser alene. Den skal tidlig krøkes, som god krok skal bli. Den som ler sist, ler best. Den som venter på noe godt, venter ikke forgjeves. Den drukner ikke, den som henges skal. Den som intet våger, intet vinner. Den er blind som er boklaus. Den som har ete seg sjuk, må faste seg frisk. Den som griner til grøten er ikke sulten. Den som sleiker alle fat, får smake all slags mat. Den som graver en grav for andre, faller nedi selv. Den enes død, den andres brød. Det øyet ikke ser, har ikke hjertet vondt av. Det som fyller, det før. Det er ingen vits å snakke om snøen som falt i fjor. Det er ikke gull - alt som glimrer. Det er flere flekkede hunder enn prestens. Det er for sent å snyte seg når nesa er borte. Det er ingen skam å snu. Det gjelder å smi mens jernet er varmt. Det hjertet flyter over med, løper munnen av med. Ensom er den som kun er opptatt av seg og sitt. En fjær kan lett bli til fem høns. Eplet faller ikke langt fra stammen. Etter en bakardag, kommer en knakardag. Enhver er seg selv nærmest. Etter den søte kløe, kommer den sure svie. Felles skjebne, felles trøst. Gode råd er ofte dyre. Gråt ikke over spilt melk. Gammel mann og ung viv, lever sjelden uten kjiv. Gammel vane er vond å vende. Hastverk gjør lastverk. Har du sagt A, får du si B. Hell ikke barnet ut med skyllevannet. Hver fugl synger med sitt nebb. Høyt henger de, og sure er de. Hovmod står for fall. Ingen vet hvor haren hopper. Ingen kjenner dagen før solen går ned. I nøden spiser fanden fluer. Ingen røyk uten ild. Intet nytt er godt nytt. Jo flere kokker, dess mere søl. Kast ikke perler for svin. Kast ikke stein i glasshus. Kua husker ikke at hun selv har vært kalv. Kjært barn har mange navn. Krake søker make. La ikke en venn seile sin egen sjø. Like barn, leker best. Leilighet gjør tyv. Lediggang er roten til alt ondt. Liten tue kan velte stort lass. Man ser ikke skogen for bare trær. Man bør håpe på det beste, men være budd for det værste. Man bør aldri si aldri. Man kjenner lusa på gangen. Medaljen har alltid en bakside. Mange bekker små, gjør en stor å. Navnet skjemmer ingen (når man bare ikke skjemmer det). Når krybba er tom, bites hestene. Når enden er god, er allting godt. Når man snakker om sola, så skinner den. Når katta er borte, danser musene på bordet. Når musa er mett, er melet beskt. Nød lærer naken kvinne på spinne. Når det regner på presten, drypper det på klokkeren. På kjøretøyet skal storfolk kjennes. På seg selv kjenner man andre. Rett ikke baker for smed. Selg ikke skinnet før bjørnen er skutt. Sett ikke ditt lys under en skjeppe. Som man reder, ligger man. Sku ikke hunden på hårene og fanden på pelsen. Små gryter har også ører. Som herren, så hans hund. Si meg hvem du omgås, og jeg skal si deg hvem du er. Skomaker, bli ved din lest. Smuler er også brød. Stille vann har dypest grunn. Tale er sølv, men taushet er gull. Tomme tønner ramler mest. Tålmodighet er en dyd. Utakk er verdens lønn. Uten mat og drikke, duger helten ikke. Vondt skal vondt fordrive.

    Blueberry picker???: Bærsanker in norwegian! Bær: berry. Sanker: Collector. Bærsanker is a general name and therefore it's not only used to pick blueberries, but also Krøkebær (Krekling), and it works for Tyttebær too.

    Tourists, be careful on the Latvian coast. The Latvian police fines tourists from 100 to 1000€, as if you are in a protected zone, which is the entire Latvian coast, but the territory is not marked with prohibited signs and information boards, the Latvian coast is a trap for naive tourists.

    Hello How are you? I imagine you must be busy. Looking forward to your next video. Whenever that drops! I was wondering if you would consider making a video (or a blog post?) about the whole process for building a house in Norway. From buying the land, permits and the actual construction. It would be much appreciated, since not a lot of information on this process is available online (in English) Obrigada :)

    Drinking tap water cannot be appreciated enough, it is really, really fresh! Even though you will find bottled water also in Norway, but if you are a tourist and buy one bottle of tap water, keep it and refill it at the hotel. Water bottles for multiple uses, especially for biking, is a thing and they can be bought everywhere. A wool cover for the bike seat? Wow, even I who am Norwegian didn‘t know, thanks for the tip, almost a lifehack! Eating too late in general isn’t too healthy, that is correct - if you manage to eat so early that you get a period of near 16 hours between two meals, some doctors believe it might reduce the risk of diabetes 2. Although "matpakke" is a very Norwegian thing (bread with cheese, meat etc that you prepare at home and put in a box to eat for lunch) - not everyone eats breakfast, so that the space between the last meal previous evening and first meal the next day is about 16 hours. Perhaps not a Norwegian thing, however many Norwegians happen to practice this, somewhat. And about vitamins - most foreigners from the south, especially if you have a tan or is dark skinned, should really really take supplements of vitamin D. Even Norwegians do this in the winter, because sunlight hitting your skin, makes the body produce vitamin D, and in winter - no sunlight. The dose needed, would be about 10 minutes of sun on a bare torso, which could be achieved, even if it isn’t too warm outside, around noon. If you don’t happen to like to do it this way, better take your vitamin D supplements… 😄 If you feel not too strong and healthy, your doctor will actually measure the levels of vitamin D and sometimes vitamin B12, if you are older or have a digestion problem. If you are a smoker, actually vitamin C and beta karotene can be dangerous for you, as lung cancer thrives on these vitamins, better quit smoking as most Norwegians already have done. Public transportation is not always working too well anymore in Norway - however with a bike, you are generally mostly fine in central parts of Oslo. Norwegians are able to bike or walk to their nearest grocery store. Americans who haven’t visited Norway yet, may not believe this, though. 😄 Still, I must remark that public transportation still works much better than places on the earth like - well we are looking at you again, americans. 😄 If you come to Norway, I promise you can get very healthy if you walk or use a bike for many errands, especially in the cities. Thanks for the video, you made me feel lucky to be Norwegian, although we have had some challenges with our buses lately, as you might know. 😅

    Nice video! I'm Norwegian and can relate to most of it. :D But I just want to say; it's less and less common that work places pay for "julebord", it is mostly the "upper class" work places (oil companies etc) that do this. The rest of us have to pay for our own julebord, but that said, I have never worked a single place that DIDN'T have julebord. :)
