Regarding leaving windows open you're heating up the indoors, there's actually a common expression where I'm from (and probably other parts of Norway) about just that, which is "å fyre for kråkene" ("to heat for the crows"). When someone forgets to close the windows, or when someone leaves a door open for a bit because they're in the process of exiting (and maybe taking a bit more time than necessary), someone might say "we're not heating for the crows!" as a somewhat jesting way of reminding them to let out too much heat.
I find her experience strange. I have always turned off the heaters when doing heavy ventilation in a room. Today we don't have to because modern heaters detect ventilation and turn themselves off while fresh air pouring in - especially in the winter. She must have some strange Norwegian friends.
In india also eggs are white, i want to move to Norway, cause it's the best country in this whole world!😃😃😃
Bring WARM clothes!!
You missed out on the opportunity to ask for an "eggspert"...
Damn, you beat me to it🙈
Damn i was gonna say that
I just can’t wait to come to Norway.. I should have been there this past week 😭 hope the borders will open soon!
Evan me also waiting for borders open cancel qurantine..🇳🇴
We can't wait to have you! But please mace sure you visit the coast if you're looking for beautiful views. Also, if you are up for it, climb a mountain! Great view from anywhere in the country! If you go to Oslo, cool, but please go somewhere else for the real Norwegian experience (coast or northern Norway). Hope you have a great stay!
@@kongvinter33 What????
As others pointed out: the owner of the premises pays for the water. If it’s a residential dwelling, that’s one annual fee, which doesn’t vary by consumption. For business premises, the tariffs may vary.
Hanging up lost items or putting them up on a window sill or similar, is common in Ireland too.
The thinner yoghurts (drikkeyoghurt) come in larger containers in Norway. They were introduced pretty late, like the early 1980s, and didn’t gain too much traction in the market, but still exist as a niche among the dairy products. As a kid, I would knock back a whole carton (1 litre), and end up with the yoghurt moustache. I sometimes even did this when I wasn’t supposed to (dairy intolerance at the time).
Some places you pay by consomtion, more and more places you have to have a water measure, and pay for the amount you use.
Different breeds of chickens give a different egg shell color, ranging from white to blue, green, brown and speckled. Most commercial laying hens will lay either white or brown eggs. The hobby chicken breeders will have the variety of chickens that will lay the other colored eggs. But the inside still have a yellow yolk. But what they are feed will depend on how yellow the yolk can be. I feed my chickens marigolds all year round and they are allowed to free range during times of the day, and their yolks are so dark orange, they are almost red.
If you own a house, you will have water bills (in addition to garbage collection bills). It can be based on m2 of house if you don't have a water gauge, or actual water consumption in you have a gauge.
In the Nordic countries, our building standards ensure extremely well-insulated houses, including ventilation (basically minimal natural draft), compared to buildings on the European continent, in order to reduce heating costs. It's necessary because of the winter climate. Quite often, with buildings with passive ventilation systems, this means that once in a while you have to manually refresh the inside air, by opening windows shortly
We have an old saying "å fyre for kråkene" We do open windows for a short while to ventilate moist air inside as mentioned before. We have to with the cold winters we have up here. I like to sleep fairly cold in Oslo, but during daytime I want it hot. Så jeg fyrer for kråkene. Ikke bra. Also we have different spieces of chickens. Some have brown eggs, and some white. You can buy both in shops.
from google on eggs:
The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical unless the feed has been enhanced for speciality eggs such as Omega-3.
In large apartment buildings, water must flow from the roof to the first floor, and it does so vertically. There is a separate water line for each room, so each bathroom/toilet and kitchen. Each line covers those rooms on every floor. That makes it almost impossible to have a separate water meter for each apartment. That is why the building management averages annual water usage, divides it among all apartments and includes it into the rent rate they want to charge. If people paid for their own heat, they would close the windows. This way they still pay, but since they aren’t aware of it, they waste energy.
Chicken egg shell color depends on the breed of the chicken. Some are white, some are cream, brown, green or even orange. They all taste the same. The taste depends on their feed, not their breed.
Tea/coffee for lunch is common in cold countries. It keeps you warm. In hot countries you’d want to cool off with a cold drink.
We have liquid yogurt here in the United States and I saw it in Sweden too, but since skyr is not technically a yoghurt, but rather a cheese (and cannot really be liquid) I can see why it’s rare in Norway where skyr remained traditional.
This was such an interesting video. And shows how important it is to travel and get to know other cutures
I agree 😄
If you own a house or an apartment you pay for water. Some municipality charges you for what you use. Others have only one monthly fee. It's together with
garbage disposal and other services you need. Like cleaning the chimney on the roof.
That is not how it works, as private person you have two options: 1: Get a water meter installed and measure and pay based on how much you use + a flat fee for being connected. 2: Your municipality has pre-calculated the average consumption and you pay based that. Most people choose option 2 as its less hassle for them unless they know they are low consumers. If you are a business then you only have option 1. You can find exact pricing and calculations used on your local municipality website. I think my mom pays around 3500 NOK per year for Water, and nothing for sewer as she has her own tank, but if you are connected to government owned you pay almost same price for that as water.
@@christianjohansen5089 In Haugesund you can only have water meter. In Karmøy you don't get it yet.
When it's much colder outside than inside, it's important to ventilate because the moist that come from our bodies and the use of water may condensate on walls and windows, triggering mold growth. Warm air can hold more moist than cold air, so the outside air is almost always drier than the inside air.
About water payment. For most people, the municipality (kommune) is the water suppler. The payment for water is part of the fee all house owners must pay for the services the municipality provides (waste collecting, sewage management etc)
Home owners connected to private water suppliers pay to to this supplier. Some municipalities and private suppliers demand that their customers use a water gauge, so they pay for their actual use. There is a lot of water in Norway, so most water expenses are the price for cleaning and infrastructure.
It is common that water expenses are baked in to the house rent. There are several laws that regulate water quality and the price, to ensure that everybody have access to good water.
In Norway, lunch is the second breakfast :) As others say, try Tine Biola or Q drikkeyoughurt if you want drinking yogurt.
I learned that same lesson in Delaware USA where we get thunder snow. It happens in the winter season. First it snows hard and outside temp is 0 to 10 degrees C. Then the flakes get very large and heavy with the temperature getting warmer all the time. Then the thunder and lightning starts and it all turns to rain and the temperature goes well into the 30 C range. It is actually hot outside and wet and warm. At that point it's warmer outside then in so foolishly one time I turned on the fan and opened the windows Thinking hey free heat. That super warm air full of humidity felt so nice and summer like. 3 days later I was washing mold off the walls. After that hard lesson, I now turn the heat on and up during thunder snow. So the walls get warm enough the damp stays in the air and doesn't coat my walls and grow mold. Once the mold starts it takes months of cleaning to end its cycle of growth. As to the water bills and sewage and the electric is all paid to the town in all consuming monthly bill. So if you want to find out how much you are paying for what you got to read the meters and do some math before you know what you are paying for. I am in a covid19 hot zone so I am locked in the house. To pass the time and keep me sane I been dreaming about Norway. It is so beautiful. I love the videos and the streamer/video poster is so honest It almost hurts. It is like a cool refreshing breeze and all the fears of getting sick melt away.
It is so funny because here, in Canada, we also do ''hang lost items'' in the trees (or elsewhere) and I thought this was a Canadian habit! :)
We I’m Switzerland do that too
Same in minnesota but I’ve never seen it elsewhere in the us
Some popular chickens that lay white eggs are the White Leghorn, Andalusian, Polish chicken, Ancona, Egyptian Fayoumis, Hamburg and California White. Brown eggs are common in backyard breeders, like Barnevelders and Rhode Island Reds. There's also blue eggs which usually come from Ameraucanas, Araucanas, and Cream Legbars. :)
Liquid Yoghurt - check out Biola, you get it in 1 liter cartons
"If you're some sort of EGG...Specialist"
Missed your eggcellent chance to say Eggspert reeee
I recommend trying Biola, a liquid yoghurt from TINE :)
+Cultura and Kulturmjølk
It is not the same.
@@santosportugal does the milk taste the same?
That "lost items" thing sounds so awesome! Norwegians must really be nice people. Can't wait to move there :)
It's same here in Finland, maybe that's happening in all Nordic countries.
@@tommieklund267 Probably because we've all felt the pain of losing something and not being able to find again it because it snowed. XD
@@tommieklund267 Same in Germany. For me it always felt like a very natural thing to do if you have a little empathy with other people. But I wouldn't count on it in bigger cities these days. Good manners and being nice are slowly dying it seems.
We do have liquid yoghurt everywhere in Norway. Biola. Searvh drikke yoghurt.
Danonino also... :-)
@Bard Erland Show respect in comments. Don't "troll"...
@Bard Erland If that's the case, you definitely didn't earn any with your comments so far...
@Bard Erland Som man reder, ligger man...
yeeeey, liquid yogurt! in Serbia we have only liquid yogurt, and it's name is yogurt 😹🤭
In Germany we air the rooms in winter for a short time , but turn off the heating. We can also buy white and brown eggs. It's normal. At Easter we can buy coloured eggs or paint the yourself. There are as well spotted eggs from some birds, but those are not so often for sale.
Eu nem posso acreditar que existe um país como a Noruega e outros mais. No Brasil pagamos pra viver e vivemos mal. Feliz quem pode ter uma vida melhor!!!😘😘
Hi Amie! I'm ur new subs for quite sometimes 😊 I get interested to ur channel because my bf now is a Norwegian for about a year now 😊 . Your channel adds more knowledge and awareness for me Thanks so so much for the effort and love for always doing video for us. I have lots of fun facts I got from your experiences that you said. God bless you 😊😘
I don’t remember all the questions you had, but EGG,- gets the colours (on the shells) from the type of chicken. The most common chicken used for eggs in Norway lays white egg. But if you look you find brown as well. You can also get blue and green eggs. They taste the same.
Biola is a drinking yoghurt. I use it every day ☺️ With blueberry taste 😘
Ye, water. You pay a bill for water. It comes with water,cloak,garbage and cleaning of the chimney. It’s a bill you pay as a home owner. The water is 2-300kr a year. It depends a bit on where you live actually.
Stay safe 😀
We got some liquid yoghurt here, comes in a 1Liter carton. Was a much wider variety back in the 90's I feel. These days I just see strawberry.
We also have a healthier version that is similar to liquid yoghurt called Biola. More variety of taste on those. But they are a bit thicker than the liquid yoghurt mostly I think.
Thank for this video :D
Very surprised to have the heaters on and the windows open ! :o
It's very cool for lost items !
(In France) We have severeal chicken and we have blue/green eggs and brown eggs but not white !
Blue eggs?! 😮😍
@@MonAmieDesserts yes it's a blue/green color , the chicken race name is "Araucana " !
If you google "drikkeyoghurt" and see the pictures, you will find different types of that, and then easy too find in the stores 😊
It's so true Mon and the thing is people need to be remind that heaters are not fire pits and that energy is consumed unsustainable if not heated through insulated heating hours. With the windows shut when the heating is on and turn it off then open the window. I liked this video yes!!!! :)
Different colors of eggs have to do with what chickens eat. If they are fed with corn, it's usually brown, if they are fed with chicken feed, they are white
We have liquide yoghurt in Norway. Look for something called Biola. It looks like milk tho, but it isn´t milk, but yoghurt. It comes in many different tastes.
Regarding heating/windows. Most of us will during the day open a window/door for a shorter period, winter or summer, just to get fresh air in the house, but it isn't that common to have windows constantly open during winter. I used to have some backyard chickens, and some breeds produce brown egg, other white. I think the breed white lohman is commonly used in Norway, and these hen's produce snow white eggs..
In some daily stores it is possible to buy a package (Danino) with 4 drinkable yoghurts. Skyr is also good, but a little thicker in consistency.
I was also surprised after hearing that
1.Most people in Norway only open the window for short periods of time to get fresh air in as the houses are usually very airtight.
The electricity is very cheap, but it is not free.
2.Everybody has to pay for water. It is not the water itself you pay for, but the connection to the water grid.
The prize is set by the municipality where you live and is a combination of water,
sewerage and renovation.
It varies between 5000,- and 15000,- a year depending on where you live and what kind of house you live in.
3.There are both white and brown eggs in Norway. The only difference between them is the dna of the chicken that laid it. Norwegian eggs are the safest in the world and are not white because of some treatment.
4.I don´t know where you eat lunch, but most people drink milk, juice or water together with their sandwich or hot meal for lunch. Tea or coffee is usually enjoyed afterwards.
5.You can buy liquid yoghurt everywhere from many different brands in many different flavours and sizes at Coop, Rimi, Rema, Kiwi, Joker, Mega, Spar or Bunnpris.
It is called "drikkeyoghurt" in Norwegian, since you drink it...!
I'm just fascinated of this girl🤗🤗
If you live in a apartment block, the water bill will be in the bills for the joint expenses that all the apartments pay together(boretslaget).
If you own your own house, you always pay for water also.
But people who rent never pay for water, that is always included in the rent. :)
Some chicken lay brown eggs and some lay white eggs, its just that we separate them before they go in to a box for sale.
Since most Norwegians prefer white eggs, farmers tend to breed chickens that lay white eggs more then those that lay brown eggs.
They are not treated in any way to get the colour. And they are exact the same eggs, beside from the colour on the outside.
I think in Many countries tea is popular . Im form Poland and we drink a lot of tea ☺ i can't imagine to eat food with cold water. Greetings from Oslo
back home i never drank milk ever just like that but since moving to norway i actually enjoy a cold glass of milk sometimes lol :D
When you buy a house/apartment in Norway, you'll have 2 options (I'm not sure about the english terms for those tho, but ill try explain):
1. Selveier (Condominium??): You have to pay for the loan (if you have one) and water, sewerage. If anything brakes, you'll have to pay for It (like roofing etc)
2. Andel (sharehold ??): You have to pay loan, rent to the housing cooperatives, but water and sewerage is included in the monthly rent. Many owners of a sharehold apartment might have someone shuffle their snow and move their lawns, also included in the rent
And we do have drinking yoghurts, Biola is one of them (1 litre cartons). Danonine is another (smaller bottles) :)
Some breeds of chickens lay white eggs, others lay brown eggs. Here in Germany, around 70% of eggs sold in supermarkets are brown, while most of the white eggs go to bakeries and noodle makers. This is because consumers around here associate brown eggs with "organic eggs" and so they like them better (although it's nonsense). It's all based on marketing psychology and Norwegians obviously like white eggs better.
The water bill comes in two different ways. Either you pay by use or you pay a monthly, quatarly, or a annually bill, which varies frome the size of the apartment. The bigger the apartment, the bigger the bill!
You say so much in these videos that I don't recognize or have ever heard about, and I've lived in Norway most of my life.
Thank you very much
Liquid yoghurt is named Biola. They are sold in 1 litre cartons like the milk
About your Norway videos, I really wish you would add some video clips of Norway or your life outside. Your videos are very informative (and you are very pretty), but we would love to see some videos of the outdoors sprinkled around as well instead of it being a full time video of only you talking in front of the camera.
Tahmid T I think it’s still a bit unsafe to go out with this virus 😂
Italian abroad It isn’t unsafe to go outside in Norway, where the population density is quite low anyway. The air isn’t infected. She goes outside regularly.
Btw, thank u for your video, interesting to watch :)
We pay something called «kommunale avgifter», that is water, renovation, sweeping the chimney etc. If you rent an apartment it’s included in your rent, if you own a house you get a bill 2-4 times a year.
White chicken, white eggs
wich is way to expensive considering our trillion dollar oil fund.........
The reason some eggs are brown and some are white is the result of the color of the earstones inside the hen's ear. It is this that determines the color of the eggs, not the feather color - as many believe. And: There is no nutritional difference between the brown and white eggs
They used to sell more white than brown eggs in Germany in the 60ies and 70ies, but with consumers becoming more sensitive to organic food, brown eggs are now selling better around here because people associate the white eggs with "industrial farms" and brown eggs with "organic". Which is all total nonsense of course, but it works.
We’ve had chickens all my life. The white chickens lay white eggs and the brown chickens lay brown eggs. I don’t know much about the other exotic colors so I’m sure they can lay a variety of colors
Kiwi, Meny, Spar, places selling Eldorado have a yoghurt called yo'go.
Portuguese eggs must spend longer in the sun than Norwegian ones... ;-)
Lunch has always basically been like a repeat of breakfast for me. As a kid it was open sandwiches with milk, as a grown up the milk was replaced with tea. Many young kids get milk to drink with their homemade lunch in schools, paid for in advance by the parents, so it's culturally ingrained in us.
Loved this one too!!!! ,is liquid yogurt and butter milk same ??
The lunch thing is one of the noticeable differences between Norway and Sweden. If you're on a business trip to Norway, be prepared for a sandwich lunch...
Although, the few times when there has actually been proper lunch arrangements (in external restaurants, hotels etc), I experienced an amazing spread of dessert buffet, with lots of fromage (light puddings) and jellys, which is not common in Sweden.
Water for houses you have to pay a fixed amount of money for water. However it is often fixed so you can use as much water as you like. In some municipality they do have water counters, so that you pay more the more water you use, but that is not very common.
Many houses also have their own water supply (ground water), then the water is of course free. However the pump does use some electricity though.
Mon Amie: There is something you miss, we Scandinavians mostly is a special race, means we can use milk as food even as an adult. So, most of us when young consume 1-2 litres of milk every day :)
I also drink milk ,but it messes up my sinuses ugh
Like said earlier, Danonino is liquid yoghurt. Meny and Kiwi has them, probably at Rema1000 as well :) 4pack of small bottles. If that doesnt do it, try Biola! 😄
I am Greek and the only thing that i found different was the heated pavement and the water. Different but not unexpected. We do hang lost items, we don't drink our yogurt, we have both white and brown eggs. Maybe you were very young when you left Portugal and didn't have the time to live alone and notice these kinds of things? (Like the mop)
You should look for Biola 😊 that's liquid yoghurt. It comes in milk cartons or in smaller bottles (I think they are in 4-packs). There are lots of different flavours, even one with beetroot 😅 Or you can look for Danonino, they come in smaller bottles 😊
I already tried Biola! And I like it but never thought of it as an yogurt because it comes in big milk bottles hahah but good point! 🥰
I mean, we do have drinkable yoghurt, like "Danonino Drikkeyoghurt", and we used to have this really good one called "TINE Drikkeyoghurt Kirsebær", its was so gooooood! But I am pretty sure you can find "Danonino Drikkeyoghurt" at Meny, if you have that where you live.
Its always the owner that pays the water bill, there is a central water gauge. You are most likely paying your share anyway. Those waterfilled heaters sounds like radiators, and are a closed circuit system that runs off a central. May be filled from time to time, though. There is liquid yoghurt, cant remember brands straight off the bat, check a larger super market, like Meny or Coop Obs, if your local Rema doesnt have.
Considering how much it rains here in western Norway, I would be pissed if I had to pay for it as well.
(we actually do pay, but it's very little compared to most countries.... and we don't have water meters counting the consumption).
You can leave your garden hose open for the night... doesn't matter for the cost.
you can buy biola liquid yoghurt (drikkeyoghurt) in most stores or on kolonial.no online. Also you dont get a separate bill on water, but you pay "kommunale avgifter" or municipal fees which includes water, sewage, waste collection etc.
Hi! Love your videos! Here in Quebec, Canada, people also pick up lost items from the ground and put them where people can see them😊
Same in Germany. At least they used to. I wouldn't count on it these days in a bigger city, unfortunately.
We do have Kefir, Culture milk and other soured milk which is a similar kind of deal. It's not yoghurt, but it is a similar sort of thing.
there is no heated sidewalk, but we use salt that melts the ice
I know this video is 4 years old. I have a house, and I'm Norwegian, you don't have to pay for water. BUT, if you don't want to, you have to rent someone to drill for water. That's about 5 000 USD, but then it's free. :)
What energy source do they use to heat the sidewalks? Very good experience information.
because most rental contract includes water and electricity and another reason is although Norway is an oil producing country, the power grid is supplied from renewable sources like hydroelectric power and wind power.Water is also abundant from melted snow and lakes
Norway is when you are so rich from oil that you can massively subsidize electric cars to show the world how green you are. It's quite clever, I'd do the same if I was Norway!
In netherlands its normal to have lunch with some bread and some milk.
Portugal food custom is very different then the north countries. I found it a bit weird that I could not get a simple lunch in Portugal xD
I am no eggspert but I'm quite sure that genetics of the hen influence the egg shell color, different breed - diferrent color :)
Also, hens laying white eggs eat less than brown egg hens, so cheaper: www.bestfoodfacts.org/food-facts-what-is-the-difference-between-white-and-brown-eggs/
In India if someone finds a lost item he or she will quickly put it in their bags and leave the area immediately.The owners never finds it.
Hmm, doesn't Tine make regular "drikkeyoughert" anymore? They used to make them in different flavours in regular milk cartons.
Also brown eggs exists, just try another brand or colour egg carton
As for open windows with heating on, I agree, it's a bit strange and might not be cost effective, but the fresh air is so refreshing!
I agree! I also need the fresh air, specially when you live in an apartment ☺️
We used to have liquid yogurt, but I think it was out-competed by Biola, which is a similar product but not quite the same.
We do pay for water! I rent half a house and have to pay for the water, but for most apartments you don't. It is cheap anyway.
I guess the white eggs come from the albino hens, which are very common here. "White Italian." We had a few of those back on the farm and they laid white eggs alright, so they are not bleached.
In Taiwan 99% of the eggs are white. The browns one are considered the luxurious ones 😅 but I’ve recently read something about this and it just has to do with the types of chicken actually. So brown eggs and white eggs are pretty much the same.
Aqui no Brasil normalmente os ovos são brancos. Os ovos de galinha caipira são marrons ou têm o tom avermelhado :)
I really like your videos and I was going to go to Norway right before Covid hit .A few things for you, in America especially in Chicago we use forced air natural gas heaters .The kind of heater you’re talking about was used a long time ago in America , it’s actually outdated and used in most older buildings now .I can guarantee you nobody here in America leave the windows open with the heater on unless they’re millionaires and want to spend money and give money to a gas company cause it’s very expensive in the winter time. A window will be open in occasion to let fresh air in and kill germs from the vents. As far as food goes most adults in America don’t even drink milk anymore unless they put it in coffee or tea and that’s usually in the morning .As far as wine women in America drink wine a lot but it’s usually in the evening or with dinner or on special occasions. in Chicago we don’t heat the sidewalks in winter because it would cost millions of dollars in the winter time because the city is so big ,so basically what happens is private people and private businesses go out in front of their residences or businesses and shovel the sidewalks and throw salt to keep the sidewalks clear. As far as the as the open end sandwiches are concerned ,thats similar like putting butter jelly on toast in the morning so I don’t know about having an open sandwich . In America we put something with two pieces of bread with something between it for the most part. I plan to visit your home country next summer. Im looking forward to it. Going to Oslo in June this year. Your a very pretty lady . Stay safe .. … Il be looking for more content on here from you .oh by the way white eggs are common here , but we have brown eggs too.
The liquid yoghurt is called Biola and is placed by the milk in the store.
We have all sorts of yoghurts here South Africa, we have brown eggs which are very expensive.... We all types of meal during lunch but if it's specifically a sandwich it will have cheese, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, avocado and fried eggs.... Then can have concentrate drink or soda we do tea on lunch as well...... Our culture accommodate almost everyone world wild...... But if lost something lol you will hardly get it back
I really like your videos. So maybe you can make another video and tell us what things you don't like about Norway?! Just asking because I'm a huge fan of norway and it seems like there are no bad things. But that's really unrealistic ;)
That's a great idea! 🥰
Nice video ! The white eggs just come from white hens... As for the liquid yogurt , drive some kilometers east and buy some cartons from Sweden ! They have lots of it there !
Fun fact water is free in norway but hot isnt cause u need electricity to water the water thats why water heaters in norway are cheap and they ofter are buildt in older houses or apartments
I'm surprised norwegians have their windows open. In Sweden that's mostly a thing in apartments where people don't pay the heating... and mostly in low income areas. I would never do that in my house, but I also got a good ventilation system with a heat exchanger that will transfer heat from the outgoing to incoming air.
The egg thing is bleach. I am not sure why, but I faintly remember that is for some reason like preventing salmonella or something like that.
Chicken eggs come in lots of colors - white and brown, but also shades of green and blue. It all depends on the breed of chicken, and some eggs can be really beautiful! Here in the US, most of our grocery store eggs are white. You can find brown too, but they're often more expensive... I don't know why.
Also, I've always opened my windows a bit (even in winter) to keep fresh air in the house. I picked up the trait from my dad (it drove my mom crazy)... Now I'm wondering if it's because he was Norwegian!
That's so interesting! I had no idea eggs could be blue or green. 😍 It's funny that your dad does that. Probably his Norwegian genes acting haha ☺️
Yes, in US markets, both white and brown are available but brown are more expensive..sandwiches usually have 2 slices of bread and never heard of hanging items but good idea!!
We hang items lost in the UK too
It’s funny, because my wife, who is Polish, doesn’t really understand why we do it and thinks it is weird. If people find something abandoned on the ground the will pick it up and place it somewhere higher, like a tree, a wall, a fence post etc, especially if it is obviously a child’s toy or possession. This makes it easier to find and stops it being damaged of blown away or something.
That thing with the eggs. that they are white. It depends on what breed of chicken you have. There are also those who lay purple eggs. Then that with liquid yogurt. We have it here in Sweden atleast.
Here is the US most eggs are white, but we have brown eggs too.
Tea and kunch is strange for me aswell. Never heard or seen that before.
Good video!
How long have you lived in Norway?.
Is there huge cultural differences between Norway and Portugal?.
As a
residential property owner you absolutely have to pay "komunale avgifter" (communal-fees/tax), that include water and sanitation and recycling of waise ect. Thise fees are included in the monthly rent if your renting an appartment. On the chickens :) Chickens are selected for theyr eggproductipon capasity rather then color of shell. 5 or 6 differnt races of chickens,, I guess norway selected breeding on the white-egged chickens. forskning.no/fugler-spor-en-forsker-zoologi/spor-en-forsker-hvorfor-er-noen-egg-brune-og-andre-hvite/312471 I remember there was brown eggs here to back in the 80.. then there was bouth colors here.
Liquid yoghurt (drikkeyoghurt) is sold in 1 liter milk cartons and in plastic bags. And I don't mean the similar products Biola and Cultura. I mean real yoghurt. It's a relatively new product here, and perhaps not yet that widespread.
Thanks!!!
I feel like yogurt in general is done very differently here in Germany. Only yogurt that feels the same is Greek yogurt. Everything else is super liquidy buy not really liquid yogurt? It's meant to be eaten with a spoon but it's in a texture somewhat between yogurt and liquid yogurt. And it comes in much bigger containers instead of the small snack size ones.
They did change the texture of yogurt a lot in Germany in the last couple decades. I can still remember yogurt in the 80ies was usually much stiffer/harder and it tasted a lot less creamy and more sour. These industrial food products are all perfectly designed for their target audience these days. There's a lot of science and marketing research behind all of this.
liquid yogurt was populare many years ago you can stil find it thou or somthing simmilar like BIOLA and KULTUR MELK
The brand Tine had drinking yogurt in 1 liter cartons (Same shape as milk cartons) Don't know why they don't have them anymore, cherry flavor vas so good. The closest you come now is something called Biola.
Every grocery store sells liquid yoghurt, ask someone if you can’t find it. Biola is one common brand
Fresh air heats better than old that's why we do this in Norway 😁
Windows open and heaters on, that drives me crazy. I never do that. Open windows in all rooms, turn of heaters, circulate fresh air quickly, then shut windows and turn on heaters again.
