7:40 I'm afraid it has nothing to do with using the facilities, but with kleptomaniac authorities. I guess you already knew that, right?

@MrMKE100 10 месяцев назад

@@RU-vid_Stole_My_Handle_Too It's not about kleptomaniac. Just taxing. 25% MVA for sitting in and 14% on the go. The shops have no say and don't get any more or less money.

@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too 10 месяцев назад

@@MrMKE100 Yes, indeed, it is. Asserting that the government represents the people does not exonerate your position. If a solitary individual expresses a refusal to contribute to taxes but is still compelled to comply, the imposition becomes tantamount to theft. The utilization of taxation for public welfare does not absolve it from the conclusion of being a form of theft. Your argument poses more substantial challenges than those you face from my standpoint. It is noteworthy that even criminal syndicates provide services in return for extorted funds. I would advise you to engage your intellect before formulating your response. Reflect upon whether your objections might be lacking in sound reasoning due to insufficient cognitive development. It is plausible that you have been subjected to ideological influence. I implore you to contemplate this possibility, as it could be beneficial for your intellectual growth.

@torrust 8 месяцев назад

Well done getting to the peak. I remember my joy of standing there too, was 11-12 years back then and not all in my class made it to the summit. That was a one week school trip, kinda cool thing as not all kids had a mountain cottage, even so, all in my class learned the basics of hiking. I am not sure why skiing down was a challenge, if experienced with cross-country skiing, skiing outside tracks is doable without a special course, but if terrain is steep, it can very much be a challenge. You tired, have a pack, the surface go from icy to snow, and you fall as friction vary a lot. What we did was to use the Telemark turn, and for that the mountain skies are not really optimal they made for ski expeditions and not downhill. If more familiar with alpine skies, using ski touring gear would make the downhill far easier.

Natasha Bergen was in.... Bergen! hehe (cheap shot but I laughed) Another fantastic video Natasha! I'd do about anything right now for a trip through the Nordic countries (did I ever tell you I'm learning Swedish?). I'm currently sat in a very hot 90 degree day looking at the Rocky Mountains editing my next RU-vid video and there is no relief from the heat (except for your incredibly charming video). Can't wait for the next one! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours 💛💛💛

Your enthusiasm for Norway (and my hometown of Bergen in particular), is very endearing :) Glad you enjoyed your stay, and hope you find your way back one day. (On an entirely different note - I could not for the life of me figure out where you are from, from just listening to how you speak. One moment it sounded North American, the next quite British - maybe even Irish? The mark of a true traveller! ...or - maybe the mark of me just not being as good with accents and dialects as I like to think :D ) Good luck with the remaining peaks!

The norwegians have invented, or made their own?, what is called "Slow TV". This is TV without script, such as broadcasting for hours the live footage of a waterfall, or the footage from a train drivers view, or from a camera mounted on the bow of a ship that travel along the coast, and in the norwegian fjords, (which, as you recall, Slartibastfast got an award for). I think (with the caviat of me being a swede) that your videos shold have everything needed to be very popular in Norway.

This Slow TV just boggles my mind! I can't believe this is a thing but I am guilty of watch a yule log burn in a fireplace on Christmas day 😂

@mads5000 4 месяца назад

You are rally funny, great video😄 07:20 you don't actually get charge to eat inside the establishment, in Norway there is a 15% VAT for food and 25% VAT for almost everything else. So if you eat inside it's considered a service and you have to pay the full 25% VAT and if you take it with you, you only pay 15% VAT

About the eat in or takeout thing... It is actually not more profitable for the restaurant to serve you in their place. It is a tax thing. If you buy "to go" you buy goods which is taxed 15%. But if you eat it at the restaurant you are served food, which is a service and is taxed 25%. It is honestly really stupid if you ask me, but thats the system we got.

The not so secret secret is that there is only one rail line from Oslo Airport to City centre, so the cheaper Vy trains run the exact same speed as the more expensive Airport Train. The latter is that tiny bit more convenient is all, certainly not really worth the price difference.

@oyst 11 месяцев назад

Funfact about the eating in/out. The surcharge is 25%, and is required by law as it is a tax, not something the cafe/restaurant get. And if you just sit outside, even if they have got chairs etc outside and use their outdoor tables, they are not required to charge the 25%. In other words, quite often just sit outside if they have got a outdoor area. But to be sure, there is no problem in asking if you are confused.

@NatashaBergen 11 месяцев назад

Woah! Thank you! 25%? Wow I had no idea that clears it all up then 😁

@oyst 11 месяцев назад

@@NatashaBergen I double checked, it is that eating «in» has the regular 25% VAT, however if you have it outside/to go, it is considered «normal food» and therefore subject to the normal VAT for food which is 15%, so there is a 10% surcharge pretty much. Just to be a bit more correct.

That's not one of Amundsen's quotes you should take seriously without context. Nobody ever died in Amundsen's expeditions where he was directly involved. Thus, when reading "Adventure is bad planning" isn't anywhere near the main takeaway from Amundsen's mentality. He was a responsible guy and the complete opposite of ex. Scott.
