What James mentioned above regarding Norwegians trusting each other and other people whom they befriend is very true! Norwegians are, generally, very open-minded and kind people as well! They have a great sense of humour too, at least one that I appreciate very much! All the best and plenty of success with your blog!

P.S. Norwegians are hard working, clean, and polite as well! I had excellent experiences with them when I was a foreign student in Aalborg, Denmark (there was a significant amount of Norwegian foreign students there and they are absolutely fantastic). There are also many great musicians from several genres from Norway (I am a fan of their pop rock and jazz scenes which are brilliant). All the best once again!

I am a norwegian who moved to the UK in 1974 and returned to live in Norway in 2021. What I have noticed, is that in general norwegians seem to have lost their manners, in the past it was normal to always say ‘tusen takk’ and ‘værsågod’, meaning thank you and you are welcome. Another thing is when you are out on the roads, especially in the rush hour traffic, if you slow down and create a space and flash someone to let them out, they drive out and carry on without as much as a thank you wave. In the shops, when you have finished and paid, the cashier asks if you want a receipt, they say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, without adding ‘please’ or ‘thank you’. I find this quite disappointing.

We have been visiting Norway for 40 years and owned a hytte on the South Coast for 10 years. The one characteristic that we noticed most about Norwegian people is that they trust each other and, once you are accepted
as a friend they are good, reliable friends.

I have relatives on Hareidlandnet near Alesund . In mid July I climbed Aksla at 04:15 before the cruise ships and tourists arrived. A few days later I was photographing Puffins and Skua on Runde between 20:00 and 22:30, I photographed several sleek trawlers on the way back to Hareid after, so maybe 23:20-23:40 if my cell phone and camera time stamps were correct.
