0:37 No, we didn't gain independence in 1814. We *declared* independence because the twin kingdom of Denmark-Norway lost the Napoleonic wars and had to cede Norway to Sweden. Not something we where happy with, do we wrote a constitution and declared independence. Faught a brief war vs Sweden, lost and entered a new personal union with them. We only gained independence later after some more work. Our national day isn't celebrating our independence day but our constitution day.

@vtxgenie1 10 месяцев назад

I really like the video, but will add that when large US metro area prices of major chains, small bars, hotels, restaurants and coffee shops are compared with Norway, Oslo and Bergen are often cheaper. I don't know where I can buy a mixed coffee under $5, and many venues charge around $10 for beer, with restaurants typically starting at $30 per person (fast food now is typically over $15 pp and can easily be over 20), and high dollar restaurants can easily exceed $100-150 pp vs higher quality Nordic food at $30-50 pp. Groceries were the same when comparing equally fresh and natural foods in the US, but in the US there are more low quality food selections for less money.

The equivalent in either currency compared to other countries. They doesn't take into consideration local jobs having a higher pay structure over the whole compared to the same job in another country. If someone is working remotely from the US or UK for example, they'll probably find their salary doesn't go as far in Norway than in their home country.

@frodehagen8690 3 года назад

Nice video, but come on guys. It is expensive, but so is the US. I have lived in California for a few months, and rents are superhigh in SF. Was about 24000 kr. for a small apt. in central SF, or Hyde st. You should look into buying power instead. The met. area of Oslo is 1580000 ih. hence more expensive. New York is more expensive than a small city etc. Same everywere. And, once you get to know Oslo, you will find cheaper places to eat, to have a coffee etc. And, luckily, you don’t need to add a huge tip like you do in the US. :-) Also, people can live of their wages here if they work in a restaurant, shop etc. And benefits if you have a baby, lose your job etc. is up to and beyond what you find in most countries, not to mention free education, hospitals etc. Be happy, and welcome to Norway.. :)

Free education? This is a classic misunderstanding and is hardly not correct even for the public universities. Have you checked out the tuition on private BI Norwegian Business School for example? The public schools charge just a symbolic tuition yes - but including the cost of books and equipment it's far from free. Cheap boardinghouses are hardly available and students have to pay heavy rents in the private market.

Oslo was the most expensive city to live in for a number of years and at top 3 for a few years too, but after the oil prices collapsed in 2014 the Norwegian currency dropped drastically in value, effectively making Norway a much cheaper country to travel to than it was. It’s still somewhat expensive, a 10-12 dollar ordinary beer at an ordinary bar is a lot anywhere, but the prices are not what they used to be for foreigners travelling to Norway.

From everything that we've seen and been told, it's not a must but if you're working in a local job where you'll be interacting with locals regularly and not let's say tourist or colleagues at an international company, you'll need/want to know Norwegian to serve customers in the local language.

I know a few Americans and other foreigners that were accountants in their home country before coming to Norway. They were all deemed to high risk to hire as they are not considered familiar with Norwegian tax laws. Why take such a risk on a foreigner when there are plenty of Norwegians to hire that need no extra effort to train? My recommendation is to visit Norway and actually secure an employment contract with a firm before you even actually physically move to Norway. I recommend this to anyone also working in the field of law or in medicine.

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

Thanks for the question, Maxwell. Correct us if we're wrong but you're asking, "Is it easy or hard for US citizens to move to Norway?" It is a tough one to answer because everyone's easy and hard is different. Here's what we can say. Americans can go through VFS Global for their residence visa. The Norwegian site has information found here www.norway.no/en/usa/services-info/visitors-visa-res-permit/ But if you notice, it is a Schengen country so if you're just wanting to go for a visit (not right now due to covid-19) Americans are allowed up to 90 days in a 180 day period visa free.

Once you've been accepted, you can use that acceptance to work on your student visa. This will get you moving.

Oslo is the Capitol from Norway since 1314 !

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

We're seeing Ósló from 1314 to 1537 then a switch in the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway making København (Copenhagen) capital from 1537 to 1814. After that, Christiania (now named Oslo) is the Kingdom of Norway 1815-1877. 1877-1924 an apparent spelling change, Kristiania (still Oslo), for the United Kingdoms of Sweden-Norway. Finally, after Norway became a separate state again, the city went back to the original name Oslo from 1924. Do you see something different?

@@ExpatsEverywhere Yes - we see something different indeed. Your claim of 1814 is inaccurate at best. Thanks for getting the facts straight.

How about diversity.. are Norwegians accepting of PoCs

@ExpatsEverywhere 3 года назад

From what we know and have seen, yes. As far as diversity, you can imagine it's not as diverse as other parts of Europe.

@@ExpatsEverywhere Not as diverse as other parts of Europe. I'm not sure that's right. Our Parliament is very focused on including refugees, and send them to what ever community says yes to house and introduce them to our society. We use a lot of money on making them a part of our society. That means that they don't just settle in the same area as all their relatives and run an almost autonomous area in a country that isn't theirs from birth. They have to be integrated into Norwegian society and learn to live here as respectful and Law Abiding citizens.
