10:04 "But keep in mind that in December and January, the sun only shines from about 1 to 1.3 hours a day". This all depends on where you live. If you live in the far North, it will not shine at all for at least part of this period. If you live in the far South, the sun will shine for around 5-6 hours per day at the darkest time of year (notwithstanding any clouds or mountains blocking the sun).
I just subscried and liked your videos! Please make a dedicated video about Finland next. You already made a very good videos about Scandinavia/Nordic countries. Thank you for doing that.
@@shadowscurse6199 All went quite smooth I moved from Germany. You must be ready for harsh weather conditions in winter and have hefty amount of money for a start.
What is this about Norway's first city? I mean Trondheim might have been our first city in time, but why is that even relevant and why don't you say more about why this is relevant? I live in the capital (Oslo) and has lived in Trondheim for a time in my youth, it's a nice place, but other cities in Norway might feel left out. I can see people from Bergen being offended :)
I think its just a fun fact. He did this when he talked about Switzerland. If someone gets offended by this, I feel extremely bad for them. Every Norwegian understands that the whole of Norway is fantastic. I am a Norwegian (I come from outside of Oslo) and I think its cool when other city facts are mentioned. :)
As a Norwegian myself, Ellen is like the perfect representation of my ideal girlfriend haha. Ach. I wonder where I'll end up eventually. Lived many places in Norway, central Oslo near some of the nicer places is actually quite enjoyable and most my friends are here, which is hard to let go. But I always come back to the small rural areas, too. It's almost like my body won't rest until I've settled down properly. Now I want to hike. Dangit!
Hey, this is random. But you being a Norwegian what do you think of Muslims and if they should live there. do you believe them as terrorists or good people? You don't have to answer this question.
They don't adapt so they shouldn't come. I always thought you should leave your shoes at the door when entering someone's house. Those shoes can be culture or religion and Muslims tend to never take them off
That Norway have blue colour in ower flag how nothing with that we have been in union with Sweden for many years ago! This is wrong, this is not the reason why we have blue colour in ower flag! None of ower flag colours have anything with how we have been in union with for many years ago!
im turning 18 soon and I always wanted to go to norway because bro, its just beautiful. i hope one day i can live in there even if adapting with the weather might be difficult cuz i come from italy
It has much more sun then what u say. Up north 24hour day in the summer and 24 hour darkness in winter. In the middle Norway where i live, south way different and varmer. Where i live there is almost no snow anymore in the winter. ski resort is closed permanently must have been closed over 15 year now. when i was a kid there was colder and lot more snow.
When commenting it would be a good thing to know what you are talking about. "Up north....24 hours darkness in winter...". You really need to be more specific. It seems like you haven't been in northern Norway during winter. All of the mainland within the Arctic, of Norway. do have daylight... ...the length of it depends on where you live. Only Svalbard can closely claim to have 24 hours darkness. You also claim that the south of Norway is "...way different (whatever that might mean) and warmer..."....eeehhh... Again you need to be specific. The inner part of southern Norway is equally cold as any inner part of northern Norway. The average temperature during mid winter in the northern coastal areas like Lofoten ...or in Bodø.... is not colder than for example Trondheim, in middle Norway, it even tends to be higher/milder temperatures there....
0:32 Not really accurate. 75% might be members of the state church, but when asked if they're religious only about 50% answers positively to that question. It's worth noting that the state church for a long time automatically registered people into the church automatically, and there was a opt out option rather than a opt in one for the church. Even after it technically was illegal for them to do so. It was a bit of a scandal at the time. So a lot of Norwegians are registered as members without even knowing about it. Also, a lot of people take part in certain rituals out of tradition rather than belief, essentially for the sake of family members etc. So the number that actually *identify* as christians is much, much lower in most surveys. That said, there *are* regions of the country where that number is accurate. Mind you, those 50% that don't consider themselves religious includes groups like Buddhists, agnostics, some new age people as well as atheists. So I'm not saying that half of our population is atheists, far from it. But they're sure as heck not christians. Also, even with the 50% that *does* consider themselves religious you also got groups like Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc...
@@nicotine4015 50% is only about self identified religious people. Including both religious people who don't consider themselves religious (Buddhists, new age etc) and seculars. The actual number of religious people is clearly higher, and even here religious people are a majority of the population. But peoples religious ideas are diverse and organized religion is far less popular here then in most other countries.
