5 things I love about Norway (As a British person) 

Hi, interesting for a Norwegian to hear your perception and observations 😊 We enjoy travelling in GB because of the differences. Nice to have you here 🎉

Welcome to Bergen, Alex. Hope you will always thrive and that you never tire of us :D

wow, that is so good summary of norway, i feel all of this is true about norway(as a native). Have a nice weekend:)

New to your channel. Very interesting as Norway has always appealed to me as a Brit looking to escape the rat race here. I would love to know some more about how you managed the move and stuff about living costs etc. I'm sure you have explained some of this in your other videos so will check these out now.

I lived in Oslo for a year. I miss Troika chocolate bars. The ice cream. The seafood stew. Visiting Drommen in the Summer. Visiting Nordfel in the spring. Norway is beautiful and the people friendly once they get to know you. Strangers don't do small talk. Ah nice memories.🤗

Really liked the funny cuts/edits :)

There was a time, not very long ago, when most Norwegians aspired to have a "hytte" (cottage) out in the more non-settled areas, where you actually had to walk, ski or use a boat to get there. Today this has become sort of a big business, and many get that same "cottage" in a planned area, with an access road, electricity and in-door water-supply for their toilets and kitchens... So, it's just a home-away-from-home, but in a different location, mostly.

No way! I'm currently living in Bournemouth, and hope to move to Norway one day. I've never been, yet every time I watch videos about it, it feels like it's home, somehow. Got a cruise next year to see a few places, but might try and get myself over there a bit sooner.

Good list, I think the outdoor life style is important, not all enjoy it, if you prefer busy and crowded cities, not gonna enjoy Norway. The water yes, but also the air, so clean. Wrt green space, I read somewhere that Oslo had 74% green space, anyway it's a trait for all city and villages, very close to nature. Not much snow in Bergen, but elsewhere should learn to ski :)

Really great video, thank you :) The population difference blew my mind! That's a huge plus, in my opinion. Also, I can't stand the tap water here in the UK - so having cleaner and better-tasting water would be amazing.

Tusen takk! Helpful video, the gen X noise interferance for the 'fun' are no fun

♥welcome to Norway!

It really is a very beautiful kingdom

Bergen is fantastic ❤the culture among the Atlantic coast from west to the north is totally different than in the east. In the east it’s much more secluded. In Bergen you can get in contact to everyone ❤️❤️❤️ - Norway is more expensive because the salary is higher

You are spot on with the less consumerism. You have to plan a lot more what you need when. Impuls buying is not possible, for sure not when you live rural. And with all that living is cheaper then in UK or NL where I am from. Yes items are more expensive, but you buy less items...

We use less medisin and we dont have samonella, rabbis etc...

Population, Norway: 5,45 Million (2022), Population ,Oslo: 706,000 (1,05 when including urban area just outside the city)

@AlexR0ze what visa did you apply for? Are you elligible to apply for citizenship off of the visa you have?

It sounds like a wealthier version of Ireland, the better quality of life, friendliness. I live in the UK. Although too much of an issue in Ireland is made out of historical problems, now Ireland is dependent on US multinationals. Whereas Norway has invested in itself and abroad. Although Irish cities have poverty, crime and social issues. Do you speak Norwegian? Perhaps your work requires less proficiency and localisations than other professions such as mine, Financial Management.

Takeaway?! You live in the province! 😄

❤

nice video

I'll be moving to Norway this year alone as my mother is Norwegian. Any advice for someone who's never moved abroad before?

🇳🇴Tanks😅

Velkommen til Bergen (og Norge)

make more videos pls.

I'm trying to learn Norwegian 😂 it's been 1 month but its hard 😪

Hi Alex. I am from Sri Lanka. I am so happy that you have your own business in Norway. I have my own company here in Sri Lanka. Could you please help me to start a business in Norway? Thanks for your information

Wow, I agree with everything. Norway is the best!

It sounds like your English accent has started to sound more Scandi.

About food: For comparison, the UK can't feed itself, nor can Norway. UK can feed about 50-60% of population. Norway even less. It's normal that certain countries can't feed themselves. Even Germany can't, but they have come close. Take a peak down south, Denmark. With a population of 5,8 mill, DK produces food for 15 mill people each year. You get a lot of products from DK. In Britain, much bacon is from DK. You do also know the brand Lurpak, also DK. Norway also imports a great deal of food from DK. France, Netherlands, Spain are also big food producers. Norway has to buy there also, if not you will go hungry.

I'm afraid you're a bit confused about stuff in Norway when it comes to production and import. Norway doesn't produce any clothes. Everything is imported. You may be right about it being better quality, but this is only because Norway is a high-cost economy, thus shops cannot live off the cheapest segment. The same goes for food.

Isn't it almost impossible to move there or stay for more than a few months unless you have a lucrative white-collar job?

I love our low population density, I think it's one of the most underrated things about Norway. I imagine someone particularly outgoing/extroverted might see it as a negative thing, though 😅

everyone thinks we Norwegians have cabins. I mean I have only one down by the ocean but I dont have one in the mountains so what gives?...

I've lived most my life in a fisher village. Yeah, captain random hehe. Till the recent 20 years we bought fresh fish from the fisherman. The government makes that harder and harder due it is concidered environmental crime. It is ofcourse BS because some wants a monopoly. You can't buy fish elsewhere but from the store and the fish has been sent twice around the world to be proceeded. That is ofcourse no environmental crime. And the product doesn't taste as fresh and nice as we're used to. Also we have a cultural thing. We stock fish for both months and days. Stock fish is fresh air but government says it is not according to rules for how to treat food. This traditional way to conserve fish is good enough only for the African market. Believe it or not. We stock fish anyway and hope the police doesn't knock on the front door. It is not for commercial tho but they might be interested to know from where we bought the fish due environmental crime. And the poor fisherman need to be an academic to know all the new rules and how to report catch correct. I eat fish 4 days a week. Local food. Environmental crime but local. That is how gets when the authorities are too high educated for their own good.

Its good because there's fewer people here! Lets keep it that way! Dont let the overpopulation from Europe spill over to norway

Never worry about offence. It is only taken.

Saggittarius, yeah, that's super important to mention...

Dugnad compares to collective ownership. Clueless people make crap out of everything.

Norwegian products? Most of comes from China or some third world country for sure!

No.

Poor Norwegian people.

Better than what? Better than living in most places on Earth as a low income or lower middle class person? Yes, probably. Better than living in say the US as a wealthy person? Probably not.
