Norwegian culture is very different to US culture with this sort of thing at many levels. If a Norwegian public body declares an emergency it means there is a problem.
Some examples... There isn't really a blame culture here. People can fuck up massively and face no serious consequences. There isn't really the same aversion to risk. Sick people are told by their doctors to get some exercise and lose weight before the doctors reach for drugs. It would seem alien to an American in many ways.
- vonseel 7y agoThose are some of the things I love about Norway. The culture and people seem much more practical, on many levels. As a Texan with family in Norway, I’ve often admired Norwegian culture... Everything is just so koselig, you know?
