As a Norwegian that has been living in the U.S for 13 years, I have had my fair share of conversations regarding my heritage. In 9 out of 10 of these conversations, the person I was talking to knew nothing about Norway. Nothing at all. So here I am, writing this thread in hopes of filling in your Norway knowledge-gap. -Correct/Incorrect Stereotypes 1. No, we don't ride on reindeer with skis on their feet. 2. Yes, our country is rich as ****. 3. Yes, we all love to ski. 4. No, we don't ALL have blonde hair and blue eyes. 5. Yes, we eat pickled fish. 6. Yes, we drink a ton. - Culture WE LOVE SKIING THAT'S ABOUT IT - Language The Norwegian language without a doubt takes the number one spot for the most ridiculous sounding language that has ever existed. - Geography Norway is a very remote country with tons of mountains to ski on, and tons of fjords to catch to-be pickled fish in. Now that you have learned all there is to know about Norway, you can impress Norwegians with your knowledge of their home country, but first, you need to be able to identify a Norwegian. All you have to do to identify a Norwegian is simply ask, "Are you Swedish?". It doesn't matter what language you say it in, he will promptly respond, "Me? Swedish? No way!" Now that you are able to identify a Norwegian AND impress him with knowledge of his homeland, I encourage you to venture out into your community and spread the awareness. #NorwayIsn'tSweden
Had a Norwegian exchange student my junior year of high school. Her body was perfect. Not skinny, not fat. Best ass ever, she made blue jeans look better than most chicks in leggings! Anyways, she was tellin me about how Norwegian cops didn't carry guns. She was a huge liberal, but towards the end of the year she was shootin guns and stuff. We showed her the good ol' fashioned southern hospitality!
Lol. Idk. I think she was pretty close to like the only school shooting in Norway in the past 10 years.
Agreed, far too much hype put on him already. Clearly he's talented but it's difficult to grow as a player with pressure like that.
Dude, if u ignore the fact they commited some hardcore genocide, vikings were cool and totally badass ppl.
