You know you're getting Norwegian when...

  • -4°C is not so cold anymore.
  • You see children cross country skiing to school.
  • You look forward to the 17th of May.
  • You know what the Jante law is.
  • Your backyard looks like this:
  • However, the ultimate Norwegian test is your relationship to Brown Cheese. I still fail at that one.

what do you think?

    If you are still going out when it is -10°C or raining (at least it is not french). Maybe like to eat iscream with chips in it? Like to eat løveposdeig for breakfast or fish? (that is a bit extreme maybe for foreigners). Start to REJOICE when you know that you will eat grøt on saturday? Start to like salt lakris?

    I’m a bit intrigued by the brunost picture on this post. The newspaper underneath appears to be in Danish. Could it be a Dane eating brunost or a Norwegian reading a Danish newspaper? Something’s wrong here…
