I'm a British guy who moved to Norway last year. I agree with all your points. My neighbour leaves his garage open when he goes out, full of tools and equipment. The safety and level of trust people have in each other here is incredible. As for swimming in the sea, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm in northern Norway, and recently took a quick swim in the sea on a beach on the beautiful Senja island. It wasn't exactly warm, but not uncomfortably cold either.

Senja was a very large island with just a handful of fisherman's settlements on the sea-facing side when I lived in Finnsnes for a month, back in '99 but beautiful nonetheless. There was a great pub, called Otto's I think, in town. Is it still there I wonder?

@@AnnaGoldmanTravel My middle daughter worked at their warehouse just outside of Seattle. She quit after 3 months because they don’t let the warehouse workers go to the bathroom except on their 30 minute meal break. Labor law says they must on their 10 minute breaks, but the only bathrooms are by the front door on the other side of the metal detector security checkpoint and it takes 5 minutes just to get there from inside the warehouse area. She said she couldn’t take watching adults having to toilet themselves on the job anymore. So while it may be convenient for customers, they’re funding employee abuse at the warehouses. My new sister in law was working as online order processor at the Whole Foods store when she first moved here last year. She’s gotten the same position at Walmart now and is just raving about how respectful Walmart is to their employees, compared to Amazon. WALMART. 😕😳

I think one of the main issues with things like Uber and Amazon in Norway is to fit into our welfare models. To have the high level of welfare we depend on all businesses contributing to this. So not all international companies are allowed access if they don't take part in paying a certain amount of taxes. Many countries in Europe have problems with their welfare models if American companies replace our own companies, and don't pay taxes. In the US, Amazon is used to being able to negotiate tax breaks that leaves them paying no taxes at all, and with the income level in Norway it may be hard for Amazon to have any warehouse here at all, but I assume that if they planned to come here, they would want to have their warehouse in another country, like Poland, and ship from there to Norway. This question ties into the welfare state and the low crime rate. The model we want to have here ensure help to anybody who needs it, so it is quite hard for any norwegian to justify economic crime, because you can't justify it to yourself as a means for survival. It is then very hard to find much of a network for crime, but of course, there are a few, and some with ties to operation centrals in other countries. It is actually cheaper for a country to provide basics for everybody than to use resources on investigating crimes. So if you want to do business in Norway you have to accept being responsible for society as a whole, and take part in funding our welfare. Otherwise we do much better buying from our own companies, that are integrated with those values. Lke one successful norwegian business leader put it: "taxes are the price of civilization". I am not sure if all norwegians would agree with me with all I am saying here, but I think it is a fairly common norwegian attitude to business. Even our current government, that is quite right wing, state that one of the main task of business is to fund welfare through taxes. Also I know one of the biggest business banks in Norway, DNB, every year send out documents to their corporate customers every year, telling them how much they contributed to the welfare, and giving them examples like "you paid for so many teachers", "you paid for so many doctors", "so many surgeries", "so much roads", etc. They want every company to feel proud about what they contribute and get an idea of how helpful they are by giving examples. Before you take everything I say as true, you should maybe ask more norwegians if what I am saying here is a typical way for norwegians to think about business. Thank you again for a well made video :)

I hope Amazon doesn't come to Norway as it will ruin a lot of businesses and the way people consume and do shopping. It will hurt local businesses just as you mentioned. How can Norwegian government allow this to take part? Unless Amazon pays a lot taxes that it deserves to pay. That will increase the price of goods but also make Amazon less attractive thus saving local businesses. I hope the government will choose wisely and think about it's loyal local contributors.

As a truck driver I wouldn't agree that Norway had or has had world's safest roads, especially tunnels. A good example is the E6 which is the main road(where tooths are falling off when you hit a hole). I would say that is one of the most dangerous ones, especially in winter. Except if you travel Oslo-Kristiansand or Oslo-Goteborg or near by Oslo. Agree about the nature and wildlife, simply beautiful.

I think one of the biggest cons for someone moving to Norway is learning the language. Yes, there are some professions where you may get by on English, but you will struggle to get a job with no Norwegian skills. Most Norwegians speak English, and some have smatterings of German or French/Spanish, but few have the vocabulary to explain their illness in English to their doctor, and would not like to see a doctor who couldn't understand Norwegian. The pro about Norwegian is that it's a pretty simple language to learn the rules of, but speaking it fluently can take some time. We also have a variety of dialects, and you'll gain lots of cred for trying to speak the local dialect.

Hi Anna, thank you for your very interesting video about so many useful info regarding Norway!!! I have a quick question: I can see that there are a lot of remote homes which are isolated from major neighborhoods. My question is: How do those remote homes which are in the woods (like the home that you have shown) get power (electricity) ? Is it solar? Also, do those isolated homes in the woods have Internet access?

Alcohol... yes Vinmonopolet. But you can sadly buy beer (alcohol) at normal groceryshops. Another «sadfact»: during the pandemic... when most of the Capitol shops was closed down.... Vinmonopolet was allowed to operate as normal. That is just sad. It shows you how much of a drunk/addictionculture there is in Norway. To equal a hardliquirstore with normal grocerystores and pharmacies... Hardliquir should never be considered as an essential store... You could even see people queueing up looong lines to get into Vinmonopolet, because they were afraid it may be closed down also. And completly ignoring that they could actually get the liquir sent to their doors.

@@PastLight Speed fines are depending on the speed limit. The faster the limit is, more expensive it is. 90 zone or higher if you drive 36-40km/h over the limit the fine will be 11300Nkr which is 1300 dollars or £950. That is the most expensive. 41 and over it is bye bye to your license. Double the speed limit, well that give automaticly jail time. The judge will decide how long you lose your licence. In the early 2000s, I got caught doing 179 in a 90 zone. Had to do 21 days in jail, 10000Nok in fine and I lost my license for 25 months. I was set as an example as the road was new. We also have point system. If you get 8 points within 3 years you lose your licence for 6 months. And most traffic offences will give you 3 points, like red light, speeding, seat belt, talking on your phone etc. Doing a red light will cost you 7250Nok. So it is expensive to do any traffic violations. Speaking on you phone while being in traffic is also a 3 pointer. Red lights and queue is also concidered driving, so don't do that. Car needs to be pulled off the road and engine shut of before you can use a non intergrated phone to avoid and fine and points. Police is strict here. And no one escapes any fines.

I just want to say that fines for breaking the speed limit in Norway are fixed and only based on how much you have exeded the speed limit, not your income, unless you have driven so fast that you have to appear in court.
@hakonkvande6767
3 жыл бұрын
Only partially true. The fines are fixed, but also not. In addition to fixed fines, the police, or court should the case go that far, can add to the fine based on your income. For speeding, you can get an additional 10% of your annual salary as a fine.

Again, very informative and correct. Just a few details; The official speed limits in Norway are 50 and 80 kmh. Everything else is an (in legal terms) exception, but you will see everything between 30 kmh to 110 kmh (soon 120 kmh in selected areas). Speeding is very costly, but there are mostly standard fines for everybody. Fines for traffic violations range from €50 / $60 to a whopping €1130 / $1360! In some circumstances, like drunk driving (which is a very serious crime in Norway) there can be graded fines relative to your income, revoked license and/or jail time. Repetitive violations can in very rare situations also result in a confiscated car, no matter what car it is. So your neighbor should drive carefully ;) BTW Norway has _the_ lowest traffic death toll in the world with a large margin (Only Sweden comes close). So maybe strict laws do matter :)

As an American, the thought of leaving one's door unlocked is unthinkable. Even if where I presently live crime is uncommon (by US standards at least.) My maternal grandparents never locked their doors unless they were going to be gone for a good while (IE- vacation), despite living in the same town as the poor county jail. (It looks more like a large shed with a fence, and according to what I was told when I was younger, those that are released there are given nothing. You're out now, good luck figuring out how to get someplace else. We don't have the money for it.)
