Hey, you can also indulge in smalahove! (Google it.)

This is horrible. Such an tragedy!

Yeah, someone might become casualties in this approach. But I'd rather be curt with someone I don't know rather than have someone harass me. The next time, if the matter is really urgent, the man should just come out and say, "Excuse me, do you know what time it is?" or something to that effect, rather than making it…

I feel that directions are always OK. (And if I'm in a hurry, I'll just tell them sorry.) I would never get angry or annoyed with anyone asking me for directions, as long as they keep it at that. Anything else, though, and I'll tell them off and just keep walking.

Absolutely!

I hate that I can't edit. ..."the shows we're discussing..."

Hate or like what you like, but realise that the shows were discussing are making a huge dent in the culture you're living in. You don't have to follow everything, but you should be aware of it, and why it's having such an impact.

Hodor, Hodor, Hodor!

Here's why you should watch The Wire, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones (to name a few): because most people around you do it. These shows are considered to be among the best works that our culture has to offer at the very moment, so by not watching any of it, you're left outside. You have no idea what the people…

It's Finnish.

And psst! Finland isn't part of Scandinavia, because Finnish language, culture and history is very different from Sweden's, Denmark's and Norway's. Also, because Finland was never in a union with the three other countries.

Me too, very fascinated by Krokodil! Have you seen the Vice documentary? It's insane! (Both the doc and drug.)

Also interesting and crazy: the person to invent Krokodil was probably one of the first people to die from it.

No, there is no rabies in Norway. It's been eradicated. Same with Sweden.

I don't have much to add, I just want to chime in that I agree with you.

I agree. The actress playing Mika overacts every scene — she looks like one of those crying children-posters from the 80s when she's trying to emote, and the actress playing Lizzie UNDERacts. Also, both of the characters strike me as stupid children.

If your ancestors were from Norway, then you can pretty easily find them in "kirkebøker" (church books) and "folketelling" records online. It's free, and open to anyone.

I fucking hate "serving sizes." Like, don't you tell ME how much I'm supposed to eat! Tell me instead how much the entire thing contains, because that's what I'll be eating.

Sidenote: holy fuck, that is a terrible thing to do!

I'll add my voice here too. It would look great without the sleeves.

The mutt is a hyaena mutt, clearly!

She's not his wife, she's his ceramic ghost candle holder!
