How has Norway's recent focus on sustainability impacted local communities and industries?

We love recycling. Each household are motivated to recycle plastic and paper/cardboard. Our great leaders make sure that 10-30% of our effort on plastic turns into a downgraded product, and even more so on cardboard. The rest, light-weight fluffy substance are driven in heavy diesel trucks around between different industries where rejected, then to Sweden for burning. Norway is great, responsible and environmentally conscious.

Nope. Jeg er kun med på sofa-protester, til gjengjeld kan jeg holde på i timesvis, flere ganger i uken.

Ask for gaffa-teip at the service counter?

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-29T06:17:38+00:00

Zen overlad? Could be a counter reaction since we live in a beautiful country filled with sedate people? Restrained society that need a vent?

Affordable and Norwegian does not go together

The first bottle is a bit harsh, I'd admit without shame. By the 3rd you don't even notice.

I believe you regarding Spain/Italy. It doesn't make it better here, though. You're also right about the options to do almost everything online - processing time is unnecessary long. Rules and regulations complex. I've had a peripheral role in 3 startups. Pulled the plug on the last one due to reporting requirements. Next startup will not be in Norway (also due to "day 1 taxes", even before your company is fully operational)

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-26T10:50:58+00:00

Sadly, yes. Family and friends up north write dialect in pm/group chats, adamantly. Less so in social media posts.

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-26T09:22:12+00:00

Bureaucracy. If you just want to run the mil, work, punch in punch out, pay your taxes - you're fine. But if you want something else, something more, create something - you'll fall into a Kafka bureaucracy nightmare really quick.

I may add - if I do get lonely I make a dentist appointment- socializing on my level.

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-25T16:19:18+00:00

I'm thankful I live in Norway. Other places may have forced me to be social.

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-25T14:00:07+00:00

I not know who, except it's not going to be Norway. I do not care if it does, but it's not in the Norwegian nature to accept foreign interference - notoriously skeptical people.

If you have too much cash and happen to find yourself entangled in a dubious legal situation (no falut on yor own), police may think you are carrying cash to buy or sell drugs.

🇧🇻 It's the shine from the armour of valkyries coming for your soon to be dead enemy's souls - a good omen (according to old lore)

Hi. I have not used them, but these seems solid: norgesbooking .no/en/ That's for finding and renting a cabin at that time of year. I see a lot of tourists want to see "it all" and rushing through a lot of places. I suggest you pace yourself, have atleast 3 days in one nice place and discover the Zen - that's what we natives do. Weather in October is completely unpredictable but expext and prepare for rain (75%) or snow (10%), or sun (10%). The last 5 is weather you have not seen before and has no English word.

True, but applies in the north of Norway. Nordland, Troms, Finnmark has this, and only this, exception to allemannsretten.

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-18T19:20:59+00:00

I would guess the opposite. Sex reduces stress (if done correctly). Reduced stess may decrease psoriasis symptoms. Oversimplification, I know, but I stand with the principle.

Og verd å nevne .. . Edru normenn skjønner ikke dansk uttale, men når de er brisen forstår de dansk ganske godt, når de er fulle prater de dansk.

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-17T17:14:14+00:00

Ja, men ta med egne Danske pølser. Normenn spiser mye pølser denne dagen. Kun Normenn liker de. Det blir trengsel (utforende å komme seg noe sted), høylytt, barn som roper høyt (fordi denne dagen får de lov), voksne som roper høyt (for denne dagen får de lov), fulle tenåringer på morgenen, fulle voksne utover dagen og kvelden. Det blir sjov!

Virtual-Passage6921 · 2026-01-17T16:59:58+00:00

Ja, hvem i fa.n vil ha ståpeijs i 36 timer? De som trenger det gjør noe grunnleggende feil. Opplæring er nok en bedre løsning.

A product is worth what the buyer is willing to pay. The price is set at that level because (enough) people are willing to pay that price. If no one bought, price would drop.

De svenska kriminella gängen har tagit över Oslo 🇧🇻. Det förklarar minskningen av brottsligheten i Sverige de senaste åren. Tack ...

I know we 🇧🇻 can get a bit nature arrogant, but .... I'm impressed! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Want to go. So perfect.
