As an American I don't know much about Norway's second biggest city of Bergen. Today I am very interested to learn about some of the lesser know gems and landmarks in Bergen, that only locals know about. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Yes, this is the same hot dog stand you've seen before. It has a long history, and loved by 'bergensere' (people from Bergen).
Jam - the "lingonberry jam" is not your typical sweet jam. It is very tart. I believe you can try it if you visit an Ikea cafeteria in the US and order the Swedish meatballs.
Also you should check out the Norwegian diaspora in the Minneapolis area of the US - and the "Sons of Norway" organization in the US.
There are more than 5 million descendants from Norway 🇳🇴 living in the USA 😊 I live in city of Hamar in Norway, our friendship city in the USA is Fargo. There is a road here named after Fargo=Fargoveien 😊
On the hottest summer day, I recommend watching the movie «Fargo» to cool down 🙂
Its never overreacting as long as you are genuine
As a person who has just moved back to Bergen last August to study, I love how excited you get over the small things. I did and still do, Bergen is a culturally and historically rich city with a lot of beauty and charm. I can't wait to see you react to part 2! Thank you as always for being positive and interested.
If I can come with some video suggestions (I will put it in the form as well with links), I would like to see you listening to more norwegian patriotic songs like "Norge I rødt, hvitt og blått" and "Norges skaal". Or a video about Norway's independence and the history behind 17th of May since it is coming up soon :-D
Lingonberries are used similarly to how cranberries are used in America. Very tart, and goes really well with all kinds of meat dishes. Just think of lingonberry jam as the same as cranberry sauce, and you'll probably stop feeling weird about it :)
Between 1820 and 1920 around 800.000 norwegians emigrated to the us. The largest percentage of the population next to Ireland. There are more americans of norwegian decent than there are people in Norway.
I am from Norway 😊,keep up the good work 🇳🇴👏👏👏👏.I am from the west Coast ,and my great Grand father immegrated too US after the second world war from Bergen,many Norweagian traveled for work👍🇳🇴
Samme hær
the reason for the red paint prevalence on old buildings is that red paint used to be the cheapest, white paint used to be a showcase of affluence, the oldtown in Stavanger used to be coloured as well(it's white now)
yes, there was substantial emigration to "younaiten" from Norway (by no means just Bergen), I think some of the highest concentrations of their descendants are supposed to be in Michigan or Minnesota...
I’ve heard also montana, and theres a settlement in Seattle (washington) too. But I think the biggest one is in minnesota.
@@mari97216 Yes, Minnesota has almoest 1million norwegan-americans and its the biggest in numbers.
But Nort and South Dakota is also well represented.
I think your thinking of Ballard Washington wich has the biggest 17 mai parade outside Norway.
@@hwplugburz ah yeah probably. :)
I am extremely lucky and privileged to live in Bergen and work as a tourist guide here. The absolutely fascinating mixture of the past and the present, mountains and fjords and all multicultural influences will certainly leave you breathless. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world for sure.
the hanseatic league used fish oil for light.. kinda like candles, but instead of wax, its a small plate with fish oil and a burning wick... and to preserve that authenticity.. we still burn fish oil in some places inside the buildings.. though in a much more controlled enviroment hen it was in the past.. dont want another fire... the exeption being the hanseatic museum where they have 1 room with open candles just to have a set piece to explain what i just said.

Britain: *fires at a Norwegian cathedral for siding with the dutch and getting the ball stuck there*
Norway: «Wow… that made the cathedral look way better!»
Yes Tyler, you have seen this hot dog stand in at least two other videos.
My grandfather's brother moved to the US and my younger sister visited relatives while she went to Berkeley. As for lingonberry jam... its not like strawberry jam or rasperry jam but rather adds somethings special to dishes with wild meat types (like raindeer or elk) and mainly I've seen it eaten with meat balls... In hindsight I should perhaps actually try it again as I haven't tried it since my childhood.. if then (I've used and use ketshup instead... so I guess lingonberry can be considered a type of ketshup? At least in terms of how its used).
You should do a 17 may special or something I think.. (since your practicaly a honorary norwegian already) 🥳
Hello Tyler😊.I just love your chanel and have follow you over a year
It's insane if that cannonball has been sitting in that wall for over 400 years.
Reindeer is delicious. Very low on fat, so you can very quickly make it like leather. My dad (a norther finn wjo grew up with reindeer, curtesy of granddad) taught me to always use beef or pig fat while frying it for stews to get it soft and tender.
Yea, I'm Sámi, and my mom always taught me to use plenty of butter and cream when making finnbiff.
Although "Bryggen" is the given name, it is simply the Norwegian word for "The docks." It's related to the German "Brücke."
Sadly, though the colourful story of the cannonball is a pretty part of our folklore, a recent examination has shown that it's been welded in place with mortar. There is no documentation of this. Was it stuck for a while, fell out, and then welded in place, or was it never embedded in the wall in the first place? I guess we'll never know for sure.
Yes, there was a huge amount of immigration from Norway to America. There are many people with Norwegian ancestry in Minnesota and the surrounding area, among other places. (Check out the movie "Fargo.") My grandfather actually went to Canada during the depression, though he returned to Norway later.
I did notice the names in Fargo.
Nygaard (lit: new farm), Knudsen (lit: Knud's son), Munk/Munch (lit: munk) are common Norwegian and Danish names. Blumquist and Solverson (lit: Solver's son) is probably Swedish. Solver is from Old Norse, and I believe, used in Sweden to this day. I guess it could come from Sølver, which is used in Norway also. It was not uncommon for migrants to drop the Norwegian letters in their names. The names in Fargo have been changed for privacy reasons, but it's cool that they kept the same trend.
@@AudunWangen - "The names in Fargo have been changed for privacy reasons."
The story in Fargo is pure fiction, despite the "this is a true story" opening. However, I mentioned it just because it gives a good description of the Scandinavian ancestry in the area.
@@Yngvarfo Yes. It's fiction, but I believe they were inspired by some real murder and fraud cases, like the murder of Helle Crafts by her husband. She was originally from Denmark, I believe. Her first name is also common in Norway (my mom's best friend has that name).
A lot norwegian imigrated in late 1800 and after ww2... 8 million people, more or less, are living in USA because of that.
I love Bergen
An american ones asked me a chef what reindeer is from the menu and i just replid rudolf and the horror on her face omg 😂😂😂
2:45 I walked through here to work every day back in the '90s, and almost wet myself laughing when I overheard an American couple concluding that they probably had stumbled over the local ghetto and better get out of there in a hurry.
Bryggen, sun & $15 beers.
Why You not Come 2, Norway
If you catch Bergen on day with good weather it is probably the nicest of the bigger cities in Norway.
Edit: Weather is notoriously rainy.
Bergen has virtually the same amount of sun hours than Paris, London and Berlin - see wiki page: List_of_cities_in_Europe_by_sunshine_duration
But yes, when it's not sunny, it rains more often than other places.
How can i send you a video of how life is like in Norway
BÆÆÆÆÆÆRGEN!!!!
Look to Hardanger
Lingonberry is not sweet. Uslig lingonberry jam is comparable to using cranberries.
Noen ganger er det VELDIG LETT å bli irritert på Tyler. Han har sett episoder fra ALT FOR NORGE, men vet liksom ingenting om utvandring til USA.
måløy next
Æg æ fra bæææææææææærgææææn, saaant.
I don't think that smells fish anymore!
I walk with tourists every single day in Bryggen and ...NOPE...not fish smell!.
To be fair, dried fish has a distinctly different smell from wet fish. Smells a LOT better.
Du bør gå til ålte museum
I was expecting: "I've never seen an ice cream shop!"
And again, as with everything else in your life, your expectations have let you down!
Tyler, you'd be surprised at what other Americans eat (in addition to reindeer hot dogs) -- bison steaks/burgers, fried alligators, bear, rattlesnakes....
Bobcat
And elk too
And obviously in your case, roadkill, crayons and lead paint chips.
Remeber.. Bergen is not in Norway.. They pretend to be but they are actually a different Nation..
Called Bjørgvin.. They gave us the black plague. As a decleration of war.. hahahahaha
It would be quicker for you to list things you have seen or heard of....
Ah, good ol' fashion projection.
You are funny, in a broken troll kind of way.
@@Valfodr_jr He spends all his awake time thinking about Tyler - must be true love.
Tyler
Bergen has a history that is almost 4 times older than the existence of the United States. AND historic sailing and steamships you can take cruises with!
Are you under the impression that one of the world's youngest nations, the United States, has more history than a country and city that is 4 times older? What does that tell us about the level of education in the US and also your poor utilization of it.
Why are you following Taylor when you are so angry and rude? Taylor is a nice person who is also funny. You are either a Swede who lives or has lived in the US or an American living in Sweden where a lot of negative energy is directed towards Norway. I remember in a previous post where you wrote here in Stockholm, and asked why Norway of all countries. Only a Swede gets upset when positive things are written about Norway.
@@l-fw5lg It's a US citizen living in the US. Swedes really love Norway and Norwegians, just as much as we love them. This creature, a.k.a SilvanaDil, has made it clear for two years that it resides in the US.
Tyler, acquainted with Palm Springs, California? (No.) Picture a hotel w/different color rooms overlooking a pool w/palm trees & mountains in the background. The temp is over 40 C. Take the world's biggest rotating tram for 10 minutes; you are now walking on snow w/temp below 10 C. (+ huge Marilyn Monroe statue)
You really don't understand that this is a reaction channel about Norway and not the USA. It must be difficult to go through life with such pervasive, all-consuming cognitive dissonance!
Oh, and there's no snow in 10°C, it melts at temperatures over 0°C! Not that I expect you to know, but…
Wow, there are statues in Norway. What a shock! Statues!
(Dumbo)
They are not statues, Dumbo, but figureheads from which in ancient times told people which businesses were located there. Not that I expect you to know, but…
Dumbo, have you never seen, e.g., San Francisco's Painted Ladies (the old, colorful houses with the pyramid skyscraper in the background)?
I'm sure there are cool stuff to see in San Francisco, but if I'm not mistaken it wasn't even discovered by white man when bryggen was constructed.
Bryggen in Bergen has restaurants that are older than the United States.
The Painted Ladies were built between 1849 and 1915, but were not painted in the tri-colours that gave them their name until the 60s. At that time, Bryggen in Bergen had already existed in one form or another for 900 years. Do you see the difference? It's called history and culture!
Bergen is a shitty place in Norway. Waaaaay too much rain. Just my opinion though. They have some cute girls, but that’s it. Either live in Oslo or farther North, or live in the summer city like me in Kristiansand, Southern Norway 🇳🇴 And the dialect is sooooo turn-off! But when it comes to girls, Sweden is the place to go 😂
