Shocking stuff from Norway - from Yourway2Norway. So you think Norway is a country where everyone is happy? Nobody pollutes? It is fresh, clear - and like a commercial for a North Pole version from Disney? Norwegians are not what you think.
Well, think again. Norwgians and Norway are not what you think. In this video you will see how diryt, filthy, uncivilezed and anarchists we are. You will also see how we treat foreigners (like beggars) or beggars and addicts in general.
To update your view about Norway, you should watch this video.
Quirky, as always. Best from Yourway2Norway.
See merch here, cool merch - example - Matpakke: teespring.com/stores/yourway2...
"Helt Texas", "Matpakke - you're not supposed to look forward to your lunch". We have a shop with clothes and stuff with different quotes from our videos printed on them; It takes a lot of time to create this videos and we want to do it full time, so you would support us buying something here: teespring.com/stores/yourway2... Thx :)

I live in Oregon. Our city has lots of homeless people. Just yesterday I was loading my groceries into the back of my car when a homeless man asked me to go into the store and buy antibiotic ointment and gauze bandages for him. He had an ugly wound from getting frostbite whilst sleeping outside. I immediately went in to store and purchased them for him and he was grateful. I think this type of kindness happens a lot in the US.

It is easy to feel heartless but I have given to homeless several times too. If someone is truly hungry and asks for something to eat, I will gladly buy them a meal and give them some money too. I will admit I am the 1st to judge someone living on the street but I do have a soft heart too.

That's not actually the case (this channel has a mix of truth, satire and fiction - you have to be a Norwegian to know which it is at all times...). Like in most countries beggars are treated as invisible. There has been a huge influx of Romanians who make up almost all the beggar population - these, and their "associates", are often part of other organized crimes, and that is frowned upon.

I would offer bananas instead of money, something they've always refused. As someone somewhere else in the comments said, it's fishy. Where I live, offering food and a coffee to a homeless isn't refused, ever. But when it's Christmas time, I do give out money. These people need to have a good time, too, whatever they do with the money is not of my concern.

When I visited Norway last summer I stopped at the red walkway sign and my brother was like NO. You just go here! Lol it was so funny oh and the fact that you don’t have to prove that you paid for subway fare etc was amazing to me as well. We took a ferry to the island of Ona and there was coffee and the pancake (I forget the name I’m sorry) and it was a “pay on your honor” with a bucket set out... respect ...❤️ Your “dirty” is still 100 times cleaner than the states. I found that Norwegians value their country, traditions, and space. Here in the US trash is everywhere. My sister in law (Norwegian) told me there is a thing (forgive me I don’t remember the name) in Norway that people come together four times a year to clean the community. In terms of homeless people ... I think that people treating them “less than” is unfortunately a common thread in the world. I was only there two weeks but if it was easy to move there and y’all didn’t have the winters you have I would be there in a heartbeat! Lol I am new to your channel but totally love your videos so far!!! ☺️

Aprils Blueheart I live in Michigan in the US and I think it is very clean here. I am from Oklahoma, born and raised there for 26 years, the rest of my 54 years have been in Michigan and I do not find that either state, on the whole, is trashy. I think people do a great job of keeping things clean. Even when I have been to cities such as Boston, DC, Baltimore, and Oklahoma City I find them to be very nicely kept. I have only seen it trashy when I was at the Oklahoma City State Fair and the trash cans are spilling over. Michigan and Oklahoma are nice states to live in and I have visited 39 states and I think we do a good job of keeping things clean.

Wow...I’m from Scotland, I’m quite shocked at how different Norway is compared to what I thought. In Aberdeen, Scotland we have beggars in the city and they are treated respectfully and with dignity. Sometimes I will buy food and give to beggars. I believe no one wants to be a beggar but many have mental health problems which meant losing their homes, jobs etc. Maybe a loss of a spouse...so many reasons why we can just crumble under pressure. It CAN happen to you and I. If everyone took a little time and showed a little kindness to those who are more unfortunate then surely your society will be slightly better? Do Norwegians basically have a superiority complex?

About beggars: From my home in the USA, a bit north of San Francisco in Sonoma county’s Russian River area (the westernmost part of California's "Wine Country"): We are kinda schizoid on the subject. . We get a big influx of homeless people in the winter because we’re definitely not as cold as further north or east - and we're basically far more tolerant than places in warmer southern California. But we hate it when our homeless population swells. . However, as a people here in this extremely liberal and relatively affluent part of the USA, we mostly believe that we should help those who are so obviously in need. We believe that as a society and as individuals, we _should_ do something to help those who so desperately and obviously need our help. At the same time, we really really really don’t want *them* in our front yards, panhandling outside our Whole Foods markets or being an unsightly presence on our streets, either. . According to a December 22, 2018 article in our local newspaper (The Press Democrat: www.pressdemocrat.com/news/9089921-181/sonoma-county-homeless-population-among?sba=AAS ) Sonoma county has “one of the nation’s biggest homeless populations among largely suburban communities.” It’s because, according to this article, we have a serious and continuing lack of affordable housing for that segment of our population. We all understand, too, that we simply lack any way to care effectively care for the addicts and mentally ill who form the vast number of people in this population. . We have a whole flock of different organizations who are dedicated to caring for these people. They range from religiously-based groups such as Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army, for example, -- to -- city/county/state funded groups of all kinds: medical, housing, work-programs, addiction recovery programs, etc -- and -- on into more loosely-bound and grassroots organizations such as Food Not Bombs, for example, and the occasional popup of orgs like the Really Really Free Market. Note: The members of Food Not Bombs, a group that included my own daughter for a few years, spend their weekends cooking huge quantities of vegan meals to deliver to the homeless (people whom they term “houseless” because, they say, there would be enough houses for us all but for income inequality). . So there’s a lot of attention, thought, time and money spent of all the facets of our homeless population - but the problem is never fixed. We always have homeless people in our area. . We do *not* want to see them BUT We want to help them (or we want someone [else] to help them, anyway) AND We remain frustrated and kinda angry that no matter what kind of help we throw at this “problem” it never seems to help. . See? Schizoid. . . Oh - and we don't really have much of a "poop" or "spitting" problem because there's a LOT of open land around here. This isn't an urban area. At all. So wherever they poop, it's not out in the open or on our streets/sidewalks, etc. Thank the gods for small favors, hmmm? . . I know this was probably a longer and more serious an answer than you wanted but this is our truth on the subject: In norther California's Sonoma County, we also have a problem with homeless/drug addicted/mentally ill people on our streets. Demonstrably we have no idea how to fix it, though we definitely keep trying. . .

No, dude, they do not, not in the vastly greater numbers of those who care about our social ills. Conservatives of all income levels are NOT more generous with either time and money. Especially the poorer cons. You guys think throwing a bit of chump change at those in need will suffice. You guys think those in need got there by being stupid, unlucky, deluded, mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs; all things they could change but just won't.

I have compassion for the homeless because each of them became homeless through different circumstances in their lives, and it's not just because they are "lazy bums who don't want to work." When I have extra things like blankets, food, socks, gloves, scarves, paper products, I bring them in my car and find out what they need and help out when I can. When I can, if I go through a fast-food restaurant, I buy an extra sandwich in case I see a homeless person. And this just happened about a week ago. I had an extra hamburger and I saw this person and brought the burger to them. He remarked that it was "still warm." He called me an angel, but I'm not, in no way. Just a small act of kindness and kindness can go a long way. May one of your fellow Norwegians never come into need lest the person who used to be your neighbor and friendly now ends up spitting on you because you fell upon hard times or went through a tragedy and lost everything. How sad... : (

Sadly, I always thought people with signs begging for food actually wanted food... then one day I was sitting in the car at a shopping center eating a burger for lunch when this lady and 3 kids walk up. She gives me this whole "we're starving, my kids need food... please help" and I guess she thought I was going to give her cash but I don't usually carry cash. I had a bag with 3 more burgers so I offered it, she took it like I Had just offered her a bag of poop, threw it at the kid in the basket she had them in (shopping basket) and barely hissed an angry thanks at me before leaving. I could hear her under her breath (not very quietly) calling me a cheap b- and hoping the next person had cash. :/

@@bluegirlgraphics I'm sorry you had that experience. I never have. Of the homeless that I have come across in my city, they do not say anything to me. They are just sitting there and I come up to them and ask them what do they need. Some wanted something to eat. Others just accepted any food I gave to them. Once in a while I have some cash that I will share, but they did not ask for it. One man was trying to get ready for winter to shield himself from the cold, wind, and rain, so I gave him two tarps I had in my car. He thanked me for them. I've been looking for him to see how he is doing, but haven't seen him. I always ask their name and tell them mine. They are not an IT. One man has severe ADHD and dyslexia and he said when his mother died, she had money for him but his grandmother stole all of it and he was left out on the street. He needs help with his ADHD. Nice man, has a positive outlook, was singing country songs for me and appreciated anything I brought him. I've also been looking for him. I'm relieved we don't have brutal winters where I live but it can still get very cold. But you know, there will always be some that are scammers. That sounds like what you encountered.

Here in Australia: The streets (in cities such as Sydney) are mostly the same in terms of cleanliness. One difference is we have people who are employed to clean the streets. People who walk through red lights are crazy because half the time the cars won't stop. Beggers/The Homeless are generally left alone/ignored but sometimes they are given money. Public transport is also similar to what is shown in the video: people don't really care about who was there first they just walk on and off as they please.

We treat beggars differently region-by-region in the United States. In LA, I had a reunion with my childhood friend who now lives in New York. He doesn't want to see beggars and homeless. "In New York, we round them up and the police make sure they're out of the way." But in LA, we actually let them set up huge tents and sleep on the sidewalk. Of course both cities treat them like dirt but, now, it has become so normal for LA people to tolerate the sight of homeless people--homeless people sleeping next to your outdoor restaurant table. In more rural parts of the country--where I have also lived--homeless people usually find housing...especially in farm country with harsh winters.

I'm confused. If everyone is equal then why do people behave so dreadfully towards the beggars. We do have problems in Melbourne with homeless setting up wherever they like and refusing to move on. There are people who are happy to encourage them to stay, but most don't like them being there, especially when they become nasty and harass people. The genuine ones are happy to be helped with emergency accomodation, but others want to be where the money is. I'm horrified that anyone would spit on another person or even spit.

I'm from the West Coast of the US and interestingly, I live in a town thats okay with beggers, however, the town next to where I live actually bans beggers. There's a sign at every major intersection in that town that say it is illegal to give anything to pedestrians, violators would face a $100 fine if they are caught. They say it's a safety issue, and thus if they want to beg in parking lots, that's fine, but they cannot at intersections. This pushed the homeless population to my town, and my town has a lot of churches, public services, and even an area just on the edge of town for homeless people to camp for the night. When the weather gets below 32 degrees farenheit (which is 0 degrees celcius), the local community college, churches, warming centers, and public service agencies open their doors to allow homeless people to sleep for the night so they don't freeze. In my personal experience, most of the homeless people are very polite, so I'm not really scared if I walk pass a group of them. Sometimes, I give them my left over foods or hand warmers, and they're very kind. There are some drug addicts, but often times the town's public safety security men will call a local public service agency to pick them up and get them the help they need.

Here in the Philippines, fighting your way off or onto the train used to be a thing too, until a few years ago when we suddenly copied the Thai and Singaporean system: they drew a few lines pointing off/onto the train, approximately where the doors would be when the train stopped, and they got a platform guard to enforce lines. Much, much better now. I don't know if you can apply it to trams. We are also anarchists when crossing the street, except for in my town, where they seriously started jailing and fining jay-walkers. It's a useful skill, tho: I was in tour group of Americans in Paris, and we would have never gotten anywhere if I didn't take the lead crossing the streets.

Here in the USA we have homeless people, tent cities under bridges, and on/off ramps. I never see anyone spit or throw things on a poor person here, that's awful! We don't know their story, or how they became homeless, so we have more of a concern for them. There are many reasons. In fact I know someone who took a street person under her wing, and found a small apartment for her and provided her clothing and more, got her the proper assistance and she did very well there. The homeless that sit around on sidewalks are sometimes allowed to stay or are asked to move by security. Local churches and shelters give out food and sometimes provide a bed. We have fund raising for local food banks. Donations can be sent by mail or you can drop off non perishable food items.

I don't think it's that common that beggars are spit on in Norway. Of course everyone should be treated with respect, and it's horrible whenever beggars, homeless people and drug addicts are treated as lesser humans than everyone else. We have homeless shelters, soup kitchens etc. in Norway as well. We have mutch better social security systems and a wellfare state in Norway. I don't want to give the impression that I'm arrogant or elitist. Most beggars and homeless people and beggars in Norway are either drug addicts or Roma people from Romania and Bulgaria (who travel to Norway to beg). Some of the Roma people probably are here out of necessity because of negligence by their native countries, others are part of organised crime.

This is what I've learned from the video: 1) Norway, perhaps other Scandinavian countries also, are not like Germany, where Germans are efficient and rule abiding 2) Social Welfare doesn't prevent people from becoming poor 3) Society based on everyone being equal and included is does not exist but merely is political speech In Canada there are beggars and drug addicts but they mostly live in Vancouver (West Coast) and only some live in other Cities. We also do not pretend we are all equal economically and socially, we are only equal in the law and socially we have no cast system and our educational and career system is flexible, as opposed to vertical system only and not allowing horizontal jump or change such as Germany or Japan. When waiting for the bus or any sort of thing that we are required to wait we make a line or a queue, no cutting lines. Which is weird because the stereotype is that nations in which they are homogeneous like the Scandinavian Countries agree pretty much in almost everything while heterogeneous nations are more disordered and do not agree on most things. Canada and Switzerland are heterogeneous yet appears to be more orderly than the Scandinavians, the only exceptional Countries in terms of Order is Germany, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In Canada, you will be surprised that it is actually a Nation of immigrants and every city is different from another due to our large land mass and the concentration of ethnic races vary from province to province, such as Quebec has more French and Haitian, and Arab Immigrants, British Columbia has more Hong Kong millionaire expats, and South Asians (Indians), Ontario has mostly every ethnicity, and Manitoba and Saskatchewan has more Filipino immigrants, and so on. We recently have made Marijuana Federally Legal and you can buy some in Provincially Owned Stores. Strip Bars in Quebec allows you to touch the dancers but apparently it is forbidden in the USA, not an expert on this, someone told me about it. You can actually experience -30 deg Celsius in Canada. In Canada you can actually feel your in a different country if you move to one Province to another. What is shocking is that the majority of Canadians do not want to admit that the USA greatly influences their views and society and that Canadians are not that different from Americans which Canadians hate to admit. Canada does not like the USA but relies on the USA for economic reasons and Military reasons, we do not have a Satellite system and we are piggy backing from all the American infrastructure. Although we did invent the smartphone (BlackBerry), Basketball, Ice Hockey, Lacrosse , and Insulin. Also that most Canadian Actors, Business Men, and Inventors go to the USA because it is 10x the market size of Canada. What I want to know is how much aware are Scandinavians that almost all their technology came from the USA?

I did indeed subscribe. In the United States we obviously have "beggars." Some people think this is the result of the cost of housing. I think this idea is inadequate to explain the problem. The true nature of it is a total failure to provide mental health care, which is like a fantasy dream compared to basic medical services. Considering that we are a country that presupposes that you should be employed to be granted healthcare in general, mental health care is a total non-starter. There are essentially no mechanisms whatsoever to encourage street people to seek assistance for mental health evaluations, treatment, job training, or anything else that would be a common sense solution. Our most liberal cities, such as San Francisco, throw endless money at the idea of helping the homeless, but it is continually squandered. It has become a sort of industry of its own, ineffectually "helping the homeless." The pattern continues because actually taking care of the incompetent is costly, but making bold claims about solving the situation can be profitable. The chief cause is political corruption. I believe the solution is voting for candidates that actually support positive change, and ignoring the cries that it's "too far left/progressive" to win.

Public spitting, cigarettes, and chewing gum left on the sidewalk remind me of the streets here in the States during the 1950s, when I was a child. There was also dog poo left around. As far as being able to safely cross the streets, that varies from one state to the next. In many areas in Texas, it is illegal for a pedestrian to cross the street. They sometimes build bridges for the lowly pedestrians, but the rest of the time they are expected to stay on their side of the street, unless they are in a car. In Vermont, you can cross anywhere - they'll stop for you. It's all good.

Oslo differs alot compared to trondheim thats where i live i kind of agree with the garbage and trash thing but its rare here and in trondheim everyone waits till the light turns green to cross its only a few people maximum 3 ish who would just cross on the red light also in trondheim public busses when people get off everyone gives them space and then everyone gets on without making a hassle and stopping others from getting on

In Manila, "3rd world country" but yeah it's still poor but we became disciplined when riding public transportation like trains and buses as in there's a line and we have security guards who have megaphones that will remind you to "wait first for the passenger who will get out" before boarding it. I'm kinda shocked but this is a good vid. One of the most honest "tourism" channels hehe I'm thinking maybe it's just the older ones? Like 30's and above and not the Millennial? Because I think with the social media it helped the social awareness especially "how to behave in public" at least in Manila that was the case. So maybe the younger Norwegians are not like that? Thanks for the upload!

You really let me understand so much. #4 about the homeless. My Grandfather was from Norway and married my grandmother an Irish girl. My mother believes that his mother forced a divorce( in the early 1920s because she was a dirty little Irish Catholic girl. My mother felt his mother felt that she was so much better being a Norweigian Lutheran. Lol I thought oh yes there was a lot of that then. Your other video you mentioned hos cheap we all are and I will vouch that it carried through my DNA

Ronald, this american is really enjoying your videos (especially your food videos)! I knew nothing about Norway until I started watching. It looks like a lovely country and you are adorable! Where I live in America we don't have many (if any) beggars or homeless. However, it is a HUGE problem in larger cities. Everything is larger as we are a country of 350 million people. The entire population of your country is smaller than the population of New York city !

Seattle streets are four times worse, visually looks many degrees worse of homelessness but people at least most are not rude, crossing against a red light really doesn't happen much here, but in San Francisco around the 90's in Chinatown needed to start issuing jaywalking tickets, not at corners but for the middle section of the street even these very narrow streets people would get run over as they jaywalked, also in Chinatown they would gave tickets to people for spitting this was around early 80's I would see my godfather who lived in Chinatown spit on the section where cars are parked. Same in Chinatown as a teen I would get pushed trying to get on the bus from older Chinese citizens, one day I pushed an old person (not hard more of a nudge) her look was shock and I understood and remember that in China it is that way in there transportation and I never nudge another senior.

You crazy southeners ;-) Up here in Tromsø, we just wait for the snow that covers everything in bright nice white. Now it's lovely! Kidding aside. I have not noticed that much dirt here, but people cross the street as they like, too. But there's hardly much traffic here, and I also wonder why I'd have to stand and wait if there's no car around (phew, having said that as someone from Germany!). There are some beggars here as well, but nobody seems to be offended -- at least I have not noticed.
