Smear with butter and lingonberry jam. You know the drill. Born and bread in Oslo, but left when I was 20 in the swinging sixties and since lived in London for 45 years and Malta for 5 years. Even the Norwegians are very different, either coming from Eastern Norway, the west coast or northern Norway.
Compared to British they are rude, never or hardly ever saying please and thank you. Now at the age of 70, I am going back to Oslo for the last part of my life. I am still blond and green eyed. It is time you get home. You know what happens to Norwegians who stays too long in Sweden, they lose the touch with reality and acquire all sorts of strange opinions.
When they visit home, they think they speak Norwegian, but actually speaks some sorts of Swedish. Staying abroad too long is dangerous, environmentally dangerous, It gives you a skewed perception.
You start to think it is normal that four-five persons own most of the country. And that a country can be run without taxes. Or that a whale is some kind of human. Welcome home. No authoritarian church administering and taxing the locals.
Think about it a little. I am Norwegian heritage, Holidayed in Norway, would love to live there,lack of money keeps me tied in Canada. Dream on. No, Fennoscandinavia is not Scandinavia. I was married to a Norwegian and enjoyed going to Oslo 3 times. I am from Canada. I found the people to be friendly. It is a beautiful country and I would love to visit Oslo again but also some other cities while I am there. Great article my parents were norwegian and proud of it yes they immigrated but were proud to be come canadians and worked hard to make life good!
They had nine children, one of whom was my grandfather, Gustav E. Have you noticed that Denmark is connected to Germany? Not to the Scandinavian peninsula? But if you look at Finland then you will see that a part of the country is a part of the Scandinavian peninsula. And we have some common history with Finland. Since Finland and Sweden was one country for a long time. I just mention it. It does not mean that I think the Danes is Germans. It seems the German has been a little bit confused regarding that matter through history.
It is claimed that logic is not a particularly strong trait in the human family. Perhaps it could explain what has happened with the definitions.
Have lived in Norway for over 3 years now. From New York City. From my perspective the Norwegian people are stiff and superior and not at all relaxed or open to change. Their society is absolutely conformist and all the young girls dress exactly alike and the young men too. Older middle-aged women become very manly and have a very stern look in their eyes. You feel as if people are looking at you with critical eyes judging you. It is extremely uncomfortable. The recent grand displays of wealth makes one long to be back in American and around normal people.
Sorry Norway. I know you have a lot of money but the lack of creativity and freedom for artist-types is just too constraining.
I am planning my escape. Meanwhile liberal posts on Facebook talk about how great Scandinavian countries are. They just have no idea what they are talking about. You come from New York which is one of the rudest, dirtiest money-obsessed places in the world.
Americans are also absolutely conformist where most of the men wear cargo shorts, baseball caps worn backward, and are obsessed with sports. All middle-aged women become more manly because their estrogen levels go down and their testosterone levels go up. Their obsession is with the abstract modern art and it has been that way since the end of WW2 at least.
A true Scandinavian person here! Yes many People have Brown hair too, but it is often a Light to medium Brown! And yes not looking or taking, just quickly smiling at a stranger, or say hmm hmm excuse me if you need something from a stranger is Very polite here! Same as we do love our hygiene and it is seen as polite to shower and not smell, same with bad breath, not very polite having bad breath while talking to someone, we Even have a little teethbrush song that goes. Denmark is not. Am born and bred in Western Finland.
I wonder what happened to get that mix. Been living overseas away from Scand. Attended a function here where the Finnish Ambassador was speaking and asking people to emigrate back to Finland. After the talk, I went to talked to him and his wife. They seem to be devoid of any humour. Not in their vocabulary. Sorry to disappoint some of you. The brown eyes with brown hair is one of the commonest combination in most parts of Europe.
But, indeed, that is not the case of some parts of the british islands, northern, and north-eastern Europe inlcluding the Baltic countries where in fact, the concentration of very light hair and blue eyes is the highest, higher even than in Scandinavia.
The origin of one of the genetic variants responsible for light eye color seems to be in the vicinity of the steps of the Black Sea, many years before the viking migrations, in fact corresponding to the Iron Age, about years ago, maybe more. And it is only a part of the truth as eye color, as well as hair color, are controlled by several genes, it is a polygenic treat, even if some genetic variants have a stronger effect.
In fact many europeans and not only them, but in lesser extent, also people from the Middle East towards east, Afghanistan, northern India, Siberia, etc are carriers of light pigment for the eyes and hair and that it is not necessarily a consequence of the germanic, viking or other Middle Ages migrations, prisoners, slave trade, etc, even if these also had their role. And usually the hair in europeans is also thinner regardless of the color.
Upon their arrival to Scandinavia, these dark-skinned Black hunters were met by another population from Russia with paler skin. The two populations are said to have mixed, which led to Nordic people becoming more lighter skinned. Safe to say, the responses that Sweden's first descendants were dark-skinned Black people did not go over well with some on Twitter. A journalist, Ingrid Carlsson tweeted : translated "The BBC has been doing this for a long time, for homogeneous Sweden to be portrayed as populated by black people is too outlandish to be true.
Now, imagine a film about Africa with white people. You're supposed to be Swedish, and a journalist? And at Saturday's World Cup clash , in the stands, at least, the beautiful game will be at its most stunning.
Sweden isn't just known for its meatballs and flat-pack furniture - Swedes are among the most attractive people on the planet.
The country's tiny nine million population includes gorgeous singers Zara Larsson and Tove Lo. And this week, an Instagram account called HelloIAmFromSweden has been sharing photos of yet more stunning Swedish models as they cheer on the national team, posing in the iconic yellow strip. But as our young lions prepare for the weekend, we reveal the incredible scientific reasons why Swedish people are just so much hotter than us Brits.
There's a reason Swedish women look so leggy - they tower over most other people on the planet. The average Swedish man stands at a little over 5 ft 11ins, with a typical woman growing to 5 ft 5ins. Meanwhile, the English measure up at a comparatively stubby 5 ft 9ins for men and 5 ft 3ins for women. Height, of course, can play a big role in how attractive someone is, while long legs are also a sign of genetic health.
Nutrition is another big reason why certain people end up taller than others, and Scandinavian diets are often very well balanced and calorie rich, which helps to encourage growth.
You wouldn't guess it from their understated way of life, but the Swedes are saucier than an IKEA meatball. Last year, 78 per cent of Swedish women claimed they had a high sex drive when they were polled for a survey of international attitudes towards sex.
