Good to see that vegetarians can survive in Norway
Yes
Yes absolutely.
They can survive practically in every country 😅
I came here in winters and its true, there's so little sunlight time. The key is to wake up early and walk outside everyday.
True and wait for summers. 😂

Alots of thanks to both of you to share your genuine experience. I think scientists and PhD holders are genuine person. They always tell what the exact situation is without adding masala to it.
It's important to note that most Norwegians understand and speak English, so you won't have a problem in that sense. However the Norwegian language is required if you want a job in most cases. Also learning Norwegian language will make your experience better.
thanks for the information
Thank you so much kind sir
Norway s they prefer to use their language so that is the problem
@@ganeshgajula6762 Ofcorse they do. Not alot of people speak Norwegian. Norwegian is not a world language such as English, Spanish and French and Norway has a small population. They are afraid that the Norwegian language is gonna get eradicated / lost with time, if they don't focus on keeping it.
sir if i speak english can i get a fruit plucking seasonable job ?
Nice video! However, regarding the doctor thing: As you may (should) know, there is a upcoming crisis when it comes to effectiveness of antibiotics and bacterial immunity. Because of this, norwegian and scandinavian doctors are generally restrictive in prescribing these. The result is that there are a lot more potent antibiotics in the 'toolbox' in Norway compared to many other places. Secondly, a 'cold' is usually caused by virus, not bacteria - hence, antibiotics is of no use. If you use antibiotics for a regular cold, that strain of antibiotics may not be reactive if you need it against a more serious bacterial infection at a later stage. Just saying :-)
yea you are right, being an Indian i also face same problems, that why doctors here do not prescribe medicines immediate just like Indian doctors. I came to know later that its not good for long term to just take an antibiotic instead its better to let the virus go off our body naturally by Immune system.
Good to know. It's actually important to know the drawbacks of a place before deciding to visit as one is prepared to face those obstacles. Super description
I appreciate all this genuine and helpful advice. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Helpful tips and advice,I think Norway stands 1st place no matter which countries u compare it with ,I have seen most of the western world and in my opinion Norway is right on the top in all fields weather if u think of work and a better living standards,infrastructure and so n on .I could be wrong but it’s just my experience.I love Norway’s winters and last time I visited Norway 🇳🇴 was mainly to experience the winter in Norway and especially the northern part .So happy to come across ur channel 🙏
What about Germany?
Lmfao Norway is one of the most expensive countries to live, only second to Switzerland. Yeah it's a wonderful place to live but the cost of living is comparatively very high which makes it hard for "middle class" job seekers and students such as myself.
i am planning on moving to bergen in a couple of years. finding a job quickly in my fields is really the only issue i might have, but i try to watch as many videos like this as possible to help prepare. ty!
Thanks for watching. I hope you have subscribed for more videos ;)
I m commenting for d first time. I just discovered ur channel yesterday. I want to congratulate u for being so genuine n nice. I especially liked d last part where u openly invited everyone to meet u I think that's commendable. U rock. Please make a video on eligibility to come to Norway n the exp to b incurred for housing etc. Thanks a lot
It's so nice of you guys. Your Daughter is lovely. Take Care.
Thank you so much guys for exploring such a un touch and very valuable information about Norway ,best wishes from India
Thank for taking out time and watching it.
I am impressed by your honesty regarding the points you have discussed. After going through your conversation it seems that life in Norway is not smooth sailing, it will take a little bit of time to start
yes, indeed 👍
Been to Norway once.The place is beautiful.But everything is so damn expensive .I would consider Norway to be just a travel destination.India is 1000 times better
Apne desh se behtar to kuch hai he nhi
But , how did you afford to travel Norway ,some people's couldn't even afford to travel India , so , please share your thoughts ...
I'm happy & satisfied to live in India for whole . .. yes for tourism vacations it's good to go Europe or any other country but for living I'm not ready🙏
All this is true, but the one about us being shy is so incredibly spot on. Norwegians will do everything we can to avoid sitting next to a stranger on a bus, train or anywhere public. If you sit next to someone you dont know and there are other options, its considered weird and rude and weird, and most likely the person already sitting there will retract the body away from you, or even get up and move.
On the flipside is when we are drunk, we will do everything we can to socialize with everyone around us, regardless if its strangers, friends or colleagues.
Why do you drink alcohol? That's not good for you.
...and as always there are exceptions. Also, I can`t say I noticed much difference-if any-between how people behave on public transport, on the streets etc here in Oslo, compared to Copenhagen, Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Antwerp,Cologne, Sydney, Auckland...and quite a few other citites that I`ve been to. Also; it`s pretty obvious that whenever the use of a foreign language is involved, MANY Norwegians may struggle a bit. This may be interpreted as reservedness, when the real reason is that they are not able to express themselves as freely as when they `re using their own native language. Another thing: most of us aren`t extroverts or introverts, many of us (probably like myself) are ambiguous-meaning somewhere in the middle. I have also noticed quite a few foreigners who seemed rather introverted, maybe shy or maybe they felt insecure about their Norwegian. In addition, a few of them spoke very poor English. Now, how on earth are you going to communicate with people, very few Norwegians speak Polish, Urdu, Somali etc. I had an indian friend in the past, academic, I wouldn`t describe her as particularly extraverted or introverted. However, we had MANY meaningful conversations, shared many a good meal..in fact she taught me to cook different recipes, which I still make.
My husband visited Norway two times for his company Jotun paints . He liked this country very much hope may be someday we all can go and see . You both are really best in your job vanya stop watching me all your videos thanks
Good to see the variant's of Indian across Europe Himachali couple for Norway | MP couple as "Desi Couple on the go" for Niderland | Rajasthani couple as "flying Abroad" for Germany | Haryanvi couple as "Sangwan Family" for England And can see few more. Good Going.
Best Wishes.
A couple of things that can be added:
1. Travel - Living in Mainland Europe v/s up here. If you love travelling to different countries, then living in mainland Europe is better. A return air ticket from Oslo to anywhere costs minimum 1500-2000 NOKs. And flight is the only option available. Far more easier and cheaper to travel down there with car/bus/train.
2. Closed Market - Norway is not in the EU. Hence, anything that you need to order in from in the EU will cost customs. Also, the variety of brands available here are lesser than the EU as it is controlled.
3. Job scene - It is relatively quite a small market with very few MNCs compared to even the Scandi neighbors of Sweden and Denmark.
Great insights thanks for sharing it. ;)
I would prefer walk 🙂
U both are soft spoken and humble and lovely couple god bless uuu
On Last 3 days, temperature was over 0 degree centigrade in Oslo ! It's true on northern parts, anyone will face chilling cold, but not that much in Oslo ! I'm roaming around the city with only a T-shirt ,jacket & jeans; no inners(yes I needed them once the temp was like minus 15, only for 5 days) at all. And fun fact, this is my 1st winter is Oslo, I have never seen less than +20 in my entire life before
Thanks for sharing your experience Taskin ;)

Hope to see you soon here ;)
Good video. I am from Sweden and all your points are equally true for Sweden as well. Would like to know about child benefits, education system etc.
Norway is the most perfect place for me because:
1. I'm a complete introvert
2. I'm a winter baby
3. I'm learning Norwegian
4. I love the darkness
5. I'm very independent when it comes to housework
6. I don't drink or smoke
7. I prefer public transport over uber
This is me except 3rd
@@sanchi2799 oh cool 😻
I'm currently in 10th grade I' want to go to norway for my college.(psychology major) I don't really have problems with any of these. I'm looking forward to learn Norwegian.i have some Norwegian friends too and i love winters. One andd only problem for me is veg food. But i think it's tough for vegetarians to survive in almost every other country except india .
So i think I'll just change my diet.anyways your videos helps a lot thankyou very much 💜👍
Hello you both are so nice couple. I live in Houston USA with my family and you are very correct here we never feel that we are not in Indian at least social gathering and friends vise we never feel alone

@@ReminiscingBrahmana why lucky? I live in US and it’s not as good as people say it is. I am moving somewhere else.
Namaste 🙏🙏you both are true , I'm not live in norway but all Europe have same problem , and biggest problem is language, so guys if anyone coming in Europe so prepared for your mentality to cold and language and food also because vegetarians are truly face the problem 🙏🙏

Thanks for this video.
B4 wachin this particular video, I was excited abt Norway wachin ur other videos.
But this was a deal breaker -
1.10 am sunrise ...3 pm sunset. For 5 months.
I can't really live widout the sun.
2. Socializing would need extra effort.
3. Bit difficult for veg. Nd expensive food
Difficult to imagine
Thank you for those information but I think that many points you said about Norway can be applied to European countries in general, like using public transport, doing your chores your own, health system...
You guys are really friendly
Tusen takk,.. sir for a nice and factsfull video why should not come to Norway if....and sir and mam congratulate for 20k subscribers..tusen takk once again sir and mam...ha det bra..😊

Norwegians have a saying - There is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing. Fabulous video, spot on with decription.
Shailja and Arvind, most informative video about Norway. There much curiosity about the country Norway. So want to visit it once as tourist. Please be helpful in future. Namaste.
Thanks for sharing all this information which must be kept in mind before coming to Norway.
What a beautiful couple. 😍

namaste Norway! quite an interesting & informative video especially students & job seekers. for elders like us it's general knowledge. you both have the knack of presenting any subject in a lucid way. i wish you gud going .recently i made comments onur past posts wherein i suggested some topics. hope you perused these -- blessings
Amazing, very helpful. Keep up the good work guys.
Waiting for your new house tour after furnishing it !
Very soon!
Shelja voice so beautiful and arvind look like Hollywood hero❤️
Thanks a million ;)
Thanks beautiful couple for such deep insight .
Most Norwegians do speak English as it is taught already from primary school on, so you won't have problems getting help in shops, public services, restaurants.
But learning Norwegian will get you a long way, because it shows your willingness & interests in the local language which is positive & great signal to the natives which again will make getting a job easy & you won't have to deal with language barriers & so on. I personally encourage to learn the language to get the best of the county. Norwegian is not a difficult language to learn compared to French f.ex😅 So with dedication & practice it is definitely possible
How can someone be so sweet and honest. Every single word in the video is so true. Thanks Shailja and Arvind. Hope to see you soon.
Regards
Nitin Dogra

Very informative. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
First of all India has very big population and still growing. But India can't take care of its population food and work wise and that is why Indians are going overseas for work to make money. And 2nd Norwegians aren't shy they don't want to interact with color people and people from non Europeans countries. Every Western country you go they are like this.
True.
Nordic countries are magical, give Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings vibes 😊
Good explain Nice vlog by lovely couple 🥰 love to ur sweet daughter 😘 stay happy😍
Thanks a ton. 😀
Helllo It’s very nice of both of you for sharing so genuinely and guiding people. i appreciate your honesty. on top of everything you are offering invitation to your home. it’s sooo pleasing . we may really not come to your house understanding the cost of living there , but it so sweet of you and it’s your big heart to day that. i really bow 🙇 you with deep admiration. your presence in Norway will be big support for the indians coming there first time. God bless you both with immense happiness. ❤ .
I applied for my master's in Norway if I get admission I will come with my family to Norway and I will definitely meet you guys there 😀😜

1) How early should one start applying for Ph.D. positions since there are some documentation requirements like proficient English?
2) When should I expect to hear from an interviewer and receive an offer following my initial application?
3) I am responsible for my parents, can I move them to Norway during my Ph.D. or after my Ph.D.?
Good day sir, Madam, how are you? Your video is very nice, but I think only no in Norway all European countries have the same system I have been working in Europe for a long time and I have seen many Summers and Winters in Europe but here is exactly different from Indian life, here we have to do our all homework such as to wash clothes, buy daily needed things etc, and winter are very cold in Norway, thanks to both you for nice
Good points ! All set go... See you soon 🙏
EPIC!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Sir please make video of your new furnished home tour
Soon brother ;)
Thank goodness!! That there's a place for Introverts like me..... And actually winter is my favourite season and darkness is no big deal...... Ik i sometimes get anxious but that's a natural process for me.... And the drawbacks you guys told are just systematic i guess i mean it's their system so we have to adopt it anyway..... But what about Undergraduates like course and everything about that....?? If you guys have a link please do share that....

The temperature in canda is negative like -24 today
Same in north of Norway.
Norway is an introvert friendly country. Norwegian culture is pretty much introverted. But they do become extrovert when they are drunk😅
In Norway it takes time for people to open up but when a friendship is created it is stable & can last for years. People dont stop & chat on the streets/bus/shops especially not with strangers but if you start talking they'll reply out of politeness/friendliness. So when you are around Norwegians dont think they expecting you to start a conversation because they themselves aren't going to. The polite thing for Norwegians to do is to leave other people alone and they themselves appreciate being left alone. Norwegians don't show up at each other's houses unannounced. When you try too hard, talk to loud or do too much for attention f.ex; you scare Norwegians away & embarrass them, they look at it as being a weirdo/creepy and you definitely going to get bizarre looks👀. that's the main reason i love this country because publicly fighting or yelling is an embarrassing situation Norwegians avoid it to the max! Norwegians are very peaceful people
Very informative and quite elaborately described, thank you
Glad you think so!
Hello sir , I have completed my BSC in agriculture from india and I want to do ABM (agro - business management) from Norway .
