As a South African… I’d have taken almost anywhere in Europe 😂

O bloody ‘ell,even me teef ate’s me!
As a person that was born in Norway but moved to Birmingham as a child i relate.
Minus the pizza and tacos, I totally agree
Least it’s not Manchester.
As a person who kinda visits cities for a living, I have visited about 500 towns and cities, and Birmingham UK wasn’t half bad. I spent there 5 days, walked like 40 miles of its streets and mostly enjoyed it.
On the other hand, Doncaster or Barnsley. I’ve spent 3 hours in each, and managed to spectate a street fight, be harassed by toothless football hooligan drunk at 2pm on a weekday, witnessed two people helping themselves to injections in public street (I guess it wasn’t a vaccine).
Huh, almost claret and blue right off the ol’ bat!
UTV!
English man living in Norway with family from Birmingham!!! I’ve never felt a picture more than this !!
It’s kinda cool to grow up in the hometown of Black Sabbath, though.
As a guy who lived in Alabama I too can relate.
I’m from Birmingham, still ended up in Norway!
Norway’s overrated.
Feel like I’m the only Brit in Norway, only foreigner almost, who actually likes where I am from.
The Lake District is like a mini nature playground, great mix of outdoor opportunities and decent crack in the country pubs, lots of beer/folk/outdoor festivals throughout the year aswell.
Norway has undeniably amazing landscapes, endless friluftsliv options, and the folk are nice, but it has always struck me as a fairly dull country culturally. Kinda nice in a way as it seems eveyone is pretty content with friend groups, pølse, hytter, knekkebrød, påskeferie. There seems so little variation in lifestyle, is everyone just copying everyone else?
I could tell from that kids face that he is from Birmingham.
At least he won´t have to live through blizzards and winter storms without daylight for months every year. The climate is brutal here, especially up north.
You know im from Birmingham and i live in Norway now – last year Birmingham accent got voted below silence in England, its not that bad ok!!
ATE Conejo Mad at The World
Fæn! Keep by town’s name out yo fucking mouth!
Seriously, though, having lived in both places, I’d argue that if you are born middle class or better in Birmingham, the difference to quality of life is negligible.
I think Norway has the right idea that the best way to improve everyone’s outcome is to invest in citizens from a young age to produce a better product (a better future state) by providing them with a secure health environment, medical care, food, and a decent education. We don’t do it systematically here like we should.
The flip side is that the diversity here, the struggles between what we were and what we could be (and should be) means that there is an energy that fuels creativity that is unrivaled by any other place on the planet.
The aspirations of a people made literally of every human culture on the planet in one place is amazing. I’ve married a girl who’s family came from 19th century Lebanese refugees. My brother married a girl from a Sicilian family of iron workers. I’ve worked elbow to elbow with people from China, Kenya, the UK, India all of whom have a shot for their kids to be the next President or a Congress person. Yeah, it happens in other places as well, but our chaos and our pain has made us something special.
As an American, I can relate.
As an American, I would have the same reaction
I was lucky enough to be born in the USA to a mother who remains a Norwegian citizen and at the time having a Norwegian parent ment I was a naturalized Norwegian citizen. So I get to maintain my duel citizenship 25 years later.
Up the Villa!
Be thankful that you werent born in Russia or North Korea you little piece of shit!
As a guy who was born in Norway and raised in Birmingham this relatable af
Edit: just seen another comment below me with an almost identical story, are you my brother???
If America you’d have probably been aborted as a typical contraceptive method over there so be grateful!

Could be worse. Could be Birmingham, Alabama
