What do you think about Norwegian culture?

  1. Define it. Then we can talk.

    Loudmouths eating Grandiosa, drinking too much and bragging about oil wealth is as much a part of Norwegian culture as bunads and 17. mai.

  2. If you want to see the prettiest bunad, you have to look for the Nordlandsbunad. Both the blue and the green are both very nice 🙂

    Edit, I know this has nothing to do with the question…

    Norwegian culture is very wide and different depending on where in the country you come from.

  3. We Norwegians are not social with each other at all, in the streets, supermarket, shopping etc. The “Norwegian hand” where you bend over someone next to you on the table to get something just out of your reach, instead of bothering the one you are distribing greatly by bending so far over them that they have to wait for you to be done. And ask them to get it for you.

    But if you are up in the mountains for a walk, everyone says “hello/hei” to each other. Like you are aquainted 😆

  4. Koselig & pastries are the best parts. Janteloven & social awkwardness are the worst parts. Just like any other culture, it has its goods and bads

    Summer in Norway is heaven on earth, hytte culture is *chef’s kiss*, and having an øl with a friend in Schousskjelleren next to a warm fire makes it all with it

  5. very beautiful women and men! interesting culture! I love it and I’ve wanted to visit Norway for a long time 🫶🏻

  6. Bunads are a relatively new thing, constructed as a national symbol only a century ago, only really popular post war.

    They were inspired by peasant clothing and European military uniforms, but so expensive you had to be quite well off to buy one. So it’s not a very good symbol or example of current culture, nor old traditions, it’s a semi-old, nationalist fad for rich people, that has become misunderstood as something older and more culturally central (including by Norwegians themselves).

  7. Taco Friday, Trips to Sweden for soda, alcohol and tobacco. Dugnads, hot dogs, Saturday candy for the kids and May 17th parades.
    Skiing,hiking and skating. Christmas and Julemat. Easter in the mountains. Rusk.
    That is only the tip of the cultural iceberg.
