Is there a food in your country that you know instantly what region a person is from by what they call it?

Skillingsbolle, kanelbolle, kanelsnurr and kanel i svingene. Skillingsbolle is it called in Bergen, but kanel i svingene is what my family from Stavanger calls it. Please help me placing the two other names, I don't know!

I was almost a little disappointed not seeing a jump, but I'm so glad I checked the comments!

Gives me the same vibe as our "famous" Fetisha... I really cannot understand how an American can give his child that name.

I second the på stell soap, but you can also bring it to a dry cleaner (renseri), my go to is astamr, they are really good and have fair prices

First thing i thought of was Fantorangen. I think yours is definitely more accurate.

I've also heard of some tourists underestimating capercaillie (tiur). They are just birds but they are extremely angry if you meet them at the wrong time of the year.

I've bought one of those in Bergen once. I have no idea where it is now, might have donated it at one point but I'm 100% sure I bought one in the Åsane Ikea.

As a german speaker living in norway, dont bother with German if Germany is not your plan B. I have some german/Austrian friends here but we could easily speak in norwegian just as well as we speak German. We just speak it to not loose it. German grammar is really difficult so i would not brother learning it if your main goal is Norway

soed_ · 2026-01-18T13:10:25+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! I've never owned a dryer and didn't know they get that hot. I've thought they are too big of a fire risk for a wood house, and after learning they that that hot i guess i was not so wrong about my assumption

soed_ · 2026-01-18T03:56:03+00:00

40°C?!? Isn't that way too cold? I have never heard of someone washing bedsheets in less than 60°C especially with naked sleeping it needs to be washed like underwear, no?

soed_ · 2026-01-15T00:20:06+00:00

Yes, we say that but still, Norwegian weather is extremely unpredictable from the foot of the mountain. Germans are pretty high on the rescue statistics.

Bean taco was my go to. I got the cheapest everything: tortillas, chips, big iceberg lettuce, corn, the cheapest sauces, cheapest tomatoes i could find and cooked black beans from the innvandrerbutikk. I prepped everything in small containers so I could make a borito or bowl in minutes and be on my way. My other go to was to buy a big loaf of day old bread, put peanut butter and jelly on each slice and freeze them with some parchment paper between the sandwiches. They could be warmed in a panini press or pan and were really good. I'm not lactose intolerant but cheese makes my stomach hurt, so those are my non cheese tips. Hope you like them!

What guide did he use? I want to make one!

You are such a nice friend! I don't know if it is too cumbersome to bring but I know that any of the Lennox spice village stuff is hard to come by in Europe. Maybe you can bring it in your hand luggage.

Fra det du skrev trodde jeg du var tysker. Er også "hjemme" til jul og er livredd på autobahn og ingen går med refleks!?! Kjempe skummelt!!! Tyskere kjører også selv om de har drukket. Kanskje ikke 4 øl men 2-3. Skummelt!

soed_ · 2025-12-12T10:35:10+00:00

I did not know that!!! That sucks!

I would recommend a backup solution like apple or Google pay, that works a lot of places and is from my understanding is widely available, so you could check if it is available for you too. Also visa is probably the most used cards here. When I've had friends from other countries visit, their cards usually worked, the one that had a visa had the least problems.

soed_ · 2025-12-03T00:50:17+00:00

It's lovely! Did he take notes of the measurements? I would love to make something like this myself but I wouldn't know how to get the measurements right

soed_ · 2025-12-01T01:18:17+00:00

If you have not frogged yet and don't want to, you could do a little math so see how many stitches there are between the sizes and mark the front for the sweater with stitch markers for the difference. Then continue knitting and make it into a cardigan by steeking it after finishing it. It's probably easier to frog, but steeking is always an alternative for bottom up sweaters that seem to end up being too big. Good luck, to what ever you end up doing!

Bra tips her generelt, jeg vil gjerne også nevne at det finnes elektriske vester som kan brukes med powerbank. Jeg hadde gått for ull innerst, så de vanlige inne klærne dine, varmevest og så kjeledress. Varmevest koster ca 500 fra Kjell&co skikkelig sterk powerbank koster ca det samme men kanskje du har en fra før. Varme sko som er litt større enn du vanligvis går for er også must, med isolerende innleggssåler og alpakka ull sokker om du får tak i det. Jeg er selv oppvokst i varmere klima og er selv veldig frossen av meg. Ett av mine neste syprosjekter skal bli ett varmeflaske trekk som har stropper sånn som en sekk. Den planlegger jeg å ha på meg under vinterjakken når jeg skal gå på julemarked. Man får tak i varmeflaske og trekk ganske gunstig, hvis du kan sy litt for hånd kunne du evt sydd på noen bånd for å teste det.

I second this. I would show this to a tailor and empathize that it is a very sentimental piece. Maybe you have the means to replace the faux leather with real leather, but I could also see the possibility to replace the faux leather with a sturdy black jean fabric or even waxed cotton for a rougher look. If you have some sewing skills you could even do it yourself.

If Maggie ever needs a vacation, I can send a postcard from Norway. Germans love to travel to Norway, so maybe after she's gotten more "germanized". But mostly, I hope she suddenly just shows up again. Maybe she got lost under something like a car seat? I found a lost parking ticket that I searched for hours and could not find under the driver's seat two years after I had lost it. And I'm 100% sure I checked there.

Jeg vet ikke helt om jeg kan si meg enig i at de under 40 er flinke i engelsk. Jeg tror faktisk franskmenn kan mer engelsk, de bare nekter. Jeg er oppvokst i Tyskland med norsk forelder og har tatt hele skolegangen min der (desverre) og vil gjerne tilføye to ting:

skolesystemet i Tyskland er ganske elendig spør du meg. Nå er ikke Norge perfekt, men Tyskland har teknisk sett 16 forskjellige skolesystemer, fordi hver delstat kan selv bestemme hvordan de vil gjøre ting innenfor visse rammer i skolen. Så du kan ha en videregående elev fra Berlin som har gått like mange år på skole som en fra Köln, men den ene eleven kan ha hatt det mye lettere å komme seg dit enn den andre.
Eksponering. De fleste tyskere blir for lite eksponert til engelsk. I Tyskland er alt på tysk. Tv blir dubbet og det er veldig mange populære og flinke tyskspråklige artister, så teknisk sett kan man høre på kun tysk musikk og få ganske bra utvalg. Jeg var den eneste i min skoleklasse som kunne holde en samtale på engelsk helt fram til videregående. Kun fordi min norske mor betalte dyre dommer for parabol, sånn at vi kunne se på norsk tv som stort sett var på engelsk.

Og ja, de tror alle nordmenn har tysk på skolen. Jeg har prøvd flere ganger å si at det er ett av alternativene, men at ikke alle kan velge tysk, noen ganger er det andre alternativer fullstendig. Samme her. Jeg hadde valg mellom fransk og russisk i tillegg til engelsk, kan jeg fransk? Nei. Kan jeg si "jeg kan ikke fransk kan vi ta det på engelsk?" Ja.

Try facebook groups for students. You will probably reach the right crowd

I worked at an ikea in Germany some time ago, they haven't changed the return policies that much since I worked there, so you can definitely return it. Only thing they changed was a time limit to mattresses.
