You know you’re norwegian when…..

….a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
a) he’s drunk
b) he’s insane
c) he’s an American
d) he’s all of the above

( Hahahah so true! xD)

…you like to wrap your hotdog in a cold pancake. ( it's not pancake, ist called Lompe!! )

…you can see mountains and the ocean, no matter where you are ( true true )

…you can’t stand leaving the country because people everywhere else are so nice, it’s annoying. (TRUE!!)

…silence is fun.

…you are more afraid of the Customs than terrorists. (Fuck yes)

…you get your hands on Norwegian chocolate and guard it with your life ( True true, not our fault all other chocolates taste like shit )

…you get a bad conscience because you are inside when it is sunshine

…you don’t fall when walking on ice.

…you expect all dinner parties and meetings to start precisely on time, if not before.

So yeah, as a norwegian, I recognise myself in all of the above, and so did my norwegian co workers too. So there you go, that's how you know you're a norwegian :D

I have never walked on ice, have never enjoyed snow 'cause I'm from Vietnam. I hope I'll have the chance to visit Norway in the future :)

when i was in norway, i tasted kvikke lunsj(?)! i liked it.

but i must say i like swiss chocolate the most :)
il y a plus d’un an Helene17Norway said…
Kvikk Lunsj is nomnomnomnomnomnomnom, but Freia milk chocolate is the best one of the norwegian kinds :D I also like Stratos :D
il y a plus d’un an annnia said…
is freia almost like swedish 'marabou'? :o or do they even have the same manufacturer? i didn't know it :D
il y a plus d’un an Helene17Norway said…
Well no, I have tasted marabou, and they don't taste much similar to Freia, I think Nidar is the one who is similar to Marabou when it comesto taste, cause they taste about the same :D
il y a plus d’un an annnia said…
ah okei, marabou's and freia's wrappers just looked quite similar so i started to wonder.
i couldn't live without marabou :D
il y a plus d’un an Helene17Norway said…
I like two of those Marabou thingies :D I think it were one with salt liqorice, and the other one was with this Dumble caramel filling :D Om nomnomnom I need to go to Sweden asap!
il y a plus d’un an annnia said…
i'm not sure what you mean with "salt liqorice"-marabou-thingy.. is it like chocolate bar? because i think it is only marabou-product with salt liqorice that we have here in finland :(
but "dumle" is fazer's brand! if you mean chocolate candies with toffee filling? :D okay i'm kinda tumbled now :DD and talking about chocolate makes me want some of them...

Omg it's Fazer I'm talking about! not Marabou xD Yesyes those two chocolates are from Fazer :D I'm in sweden every summer and I always buy so much candy, since it's half of the price of the norwegian candies :D

okay then :D! now i got what you meant by that salt liqorice filled chocolate! it is also one of my favourites :)
yes norwegian price was a shock for me, especially compared to sweden, which is even cheaper than finland (at least when it comes to candy and chocolate)

\ aaa yeah dumle chocolate! you didnt mean dumle candies. now i figured out it all :D

Yeah, norwegian food prices gets higher every year, while our paychecks doesnt, so that is why norwegians who live east of Norway take their cars and drive to sweden to buy food. It's cheaper that way. I live north now, so I can't go to sweden more than once a year, but next year I am moving to Oslo and then I will take the bus to Sweden(:
il y a plus d’un an annnia said…
yes, it is exactly same with us. people who live in northwest of finland use to go to sweden by car and buy petrol, food and tobacco since it is soo much cheaper there. and it is really easy, because there's one city in northwest of finland that is veery close to sweden, really, only one bridge separates these two lands and it takes like under 5 minutes to go from finland to side of sweden. people living there are lucky and it makes their lives much cheaper, because sweden is really much cheaper when it comes especially to petrol.
il y a plus d’un an Helene17Norway said…
Sweden is supercheap, but that is because they have even smaller paychecks than us. That is why half of oslo is sweds by now, they come here to work so they get norwegian paychecks.
il y a plus d’un an annnia said…
yeah, it sounds logical. :)

I can regonize some of those things in myself since some of them are similar to the stereotype of Finland :D Yes, I'm guarding my Freia :D I got it from Helene :D It's omnomnomnomnom :D and ofc. I love Fazer and Marabou! <3 I usually don't fall while walking on ice and yes, in Finland people think that you're drunk if you randomly smile at a stranger on the street xD :PPP So I can say that I have something Norwegian in me... Or? xD :D
il y a plus d’un an Helene17Norway said…
Yes you can! :D But then again, you're also a tiny bit swedish, and sweds are norways brothers ( even though, we still hate you for letting the germans in to norway under ww2 xD )
il y a plus d’un an s0nja said…
xDDDDD Yeah, I am :D, but believe me, many people in Finland hates Swedes because of what happened in th 14th century -.- xD :PPP and the Germans kinda fooled us during WW2... I guess >.< xD
