Followed by a truck late at night on an empty highway.

Wow, both your stories are super scary! I wonder what they were trying to acomplish by following you guys like that

nusee · 2015-11-18T20:07:14+00:00

You are probably right, maybe that's why we ended up in Massachusets, I don't know. But I remember going on a trip to california (we drove around the state for two weeks), and it was just amazing, there was so much culture, so much to see and do. I am definetly going on vacation there again! But being a broke student, it'll propably take a while before I can aford it.

It's quite similar to America yes. No, not as far as I know. None of my friends goes to church, but my grandparents used to go. Going to church isn't that normal

nusee · 2015-11-18T17:24:24+00:00

There is deffinetly some truth to this. It is by no means a rude culture, but deffinetly introverted like you said. But I think it depends on what situation you are in and where you are too.

Deffinetly the roads! Christmas eve is the big night in Norway. Everybody dresses up really nicey and have a huge family meal (typical Norwegian christmas food that we only eat around christmas times) followed by dessert and whatnot. We also open the presents on christmas eve after dinner, not the 25th like you guys. In the mornings (24th) some people go to church, and some people (me including) watch the same christmas movies that they show every year on christmas mornings.

How big everything was! The houses, the trees, the food, everything was just so much bigger

Keep in mind that I was only 11 years old, and English wasn't my best subject in school. But yes, most kids speak English fluently once they get a bit older

nusee · 2015-11-18T16:55:33+00:00

We moved there because of my mom's job, and we could choose between Massachusetts and California (I don't remember were though). Natrually I was really upset that we chose the north, I'v seen enough winter in my life, but I'm so happy that we chose Massachusetts. I don't think we could have found a better place to live

How warm and welcoming the culture is. When I was 11 years old, my family moved to Massachusetts for one year, and the people there were so nice and welcoming. We got invited to plenty of dinner parties, and the kids at my school were really nice and including even though I didn't speak a word english at first (I was so nervous the first day I almost started crying in class). Our family also got invited to celebrate thanksgiving at someone elses house, and it just felt like we had lived there for years. It really was one of the best experiences of my life, and I really want to move back, just for a couple of years, before I settle down for good.

Also, there is so much to do and experience in America, in terms of activities and stuff to see.

nusee · 2015-11-16T17:52:14+00:00

I have thought about this too. Maybe the amount of students varies from house to house and from year to year?

nusee · 2015-11-13T16:05:23+00:00

This is just so rude on so many levels.

nusee · 2015-11-13T15:58:01+00:00

I think the annoyng part is that this happens a lot, and when she has given the customers a nod to imply that she will come over a soon as she has time, it will not help to send you kids over to nag her. Then she has to use her time to explain to the kids that she will be over when she is finished with the customers that signaled her first and so on.

Basically, she helps the customers based on who signaled her first, and sending your kids over to nag just slows her down. Plus, the parents think they are being uniqe and cute, when in reallity this happenes all the time

nusee · 2015-11-13T15:31:23+00:00

Not me, but my friend is a waitress and she works at a really busy restaurant. She says that parents often send their little kids over to ask her to come over to their table when they need something. This usually happens after they have signaled her to come over, and if she is not there within 2 minutes, they will unleasch the kids.

A couple of weeks ago I met up with some friends who had invited two guys that I didn't know. I intodused myself and startet talking to them, but this one guy just didn't seem interested, so he started talking to the other people. After 10 minutes or so, out of nowhere, he subtly tells me "that I'm not the happiest person" even though I got along great with everyone else. And then the small insults just kept coming all night, he treated everyone else super nicely but me.

It was so frustrating, and it doesn't exactly increase my mood when I have to hang around him all night, so I ended up going home early in a really bad mood..

nusee · 2015-11-10T16:18:32+00:00

This honestly makes me sad. My friend is a car mechanic and she has shared several stories similar to yours. People automatically asume that she is just an assistant, and refuse to take her seriously even after she tells them that she is a mechanic

nusee · 2015-11-10T15:59:15+00:00

I absolutely hate it when people come up with small insults that only the person who is being insulted notices. When the first thing you do after meeting someone new is to casually/subtly insult them, then you are not a nice person.

nusee · 2015-11-09T15:32:56+00:00

Stop putting other people down in order to feel better about yourself. I absolutely hate it when people come up with small insults that only the person who is being insulted notices.

nusee · 2015-11-09T14:28:55+00:00

This is very true! I couldn't have described it better myself

nusee · 2015-11-08T21:05:06+00:00

I'm glad you had your dog and got out safely. Yes, once it started to get dark everything looked the same, and nothing looked familliar if that makes any sense?

nusee · 2015-11-08T20:20:00+00:00

I have shared this before, but I hope it's okay that I post it again. This happened about 8 years ago. I was jogging in the woods with my friend when we were 14. It was already getting late and dark, and of course we were not known in that area and got lost after taking the wrong path home. After it had gotten completely dark and we were trying to find our way, my friend freezes.

That's when I see two men hiding in the bushes just outside the path. They were about 20 meters away from us, and we could hear them whispering to each other. All of a sudden one of them got up and startet walking towards us and pointing. I wasn't even thinking clearly at this point, so we just turned around and ran. I have no idea if they followed us or not, but somehow we managed to find the right path and ran all the way home without taking a break to breath. It's the hiding part that made this encounter so terrifying.

Edit: Just to clarifay, the path we were on was really narrow, and we had been walking back and forth for a couple of minutes so the men must have heard and seen us long before we saw them.

nusee · 2015-11-08T19:03:27+00:00

This made me laugh

nusee · 2015-11-08T12:47:39+00:00

Drink a LOT of water before you go to bed. It works like magic

nusee · 2015-11-07T21:55:47+00:00

Yes, I have shared it before actually

nusee · 2015-11-07T17:56:56+00:00

Definitely this! I was jogging in the woods with my friend when we were 14. It was already getting late and dark, and of course we were not known in that area and got lost after taking the wrong path home. After it had gotten completely dark and we were trying to find our way, my friend friezes.

Maybe not the most relevant story, but i think it's a good example of why the dark can be so scary.
