My View After Visiting Norway for Ten Days
- Don’t let the high cost of goods deceive you into thinking that your USD is important. The cost of goods will surprise you. I had to look up their $5500 monthly average wage on Google.
- Although everyone is competent in English and understands it, they prefer to speak Norwegian.
- I can see that some retail prices are listed in Swedish KR and others in Norwegian KR, so they are sort of the official currencies.
- The food selection is the worst I have ever encountered in my brief travels; it is so bad that I didn’t even get to try rice during the entire trip since I couldn’t find a single restaurant serving it on their menu. RICE
Their snack selection differs from everyone else’s. I’m so miserable, yo.
- Everyone I ask for directions from takes their time to guide me, and some will even walk you a set distance to make sure you understand. They are all kind and nice.
- The city, busses, and metro are all immaculate.
- They wear modest clothing; pop culture isn’t very relevant here, and everyone dresses appropriately.
- Considering that it’s January, there aren’t many smokers—I didn’t spot more than fifteen during my visit. Nobody was vaping, either.
I kind of like how serene the city is.
No, I won’t return to Norway.
No, I won’t suggest that you leave.
However, if you do decide to travel, please make sure you have enough cash on you and stay at an Airbnb rather than a hotel so you can prepare your own meals.
Because of the type of chicken they use, even KFC was outlawed here. Norwegian juice is distinct from the sugar we’re used to since it is made from fruit. I suppose they take their quality of life extremely seriously.
