NationStates Jolt Archive

Over this summer, as part of my trip to Europe which is partly through school and partly through my own travelling I'm going to be in Norway for about 2.5 weeks. I've been there once before and will probably be in about the same places as I was when I was last there (Oslo area and then up further to possibly the Lesja/Dombas area) but I don't really remember what I did last time I was there.

So. You of Nationstates who live in Norway, have been to Norway, or simply have some kind of opinion (relevant!relevant!) on the matter. Where do I simply have to go on my trip? What should I visit? Your suggestion? I am totally open to anything you have to say.

Note that I like pretty much anything for visits, which include museums and the like, and I will not be operating out of the city center as I'll be staying with a family that I know. Of course, if the transit's as good as the last time I was there that shouldn't be any problem. You never know though....

The crater from this thing?

I dunno.. what do people do in Norway? See the fjords or something..

Northern Lights, Fjords, Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo Domkirke, blah blah.....
Skip it. Go to the Netherlands instead.

Edit: If you are serious about coming, bring your own beer or other drinks and try to act non-suspicious while passing the customs...

You must visit places where there are nekkid Norwegians. :)

Avoid Metorites.
And walrusus (walrusi?).

EDIT: that was a memorable 50th post, huh?

Meh, those are friendly. It's the Valkyrie he should be on the look out for. <.<

The people of Norway are cannibals, and will eat you if they discover you are a tourist/foreigner. Make sure to master the local customs and the local tongue before you go to Norway.

Oh lovely. Is it purple?

Don't go in the woods or you'll be hit by a meteore.

They give me diarrhea...

-If you are offered the local delicatesse "gravlaks", or any other food with the prefix "grav-", politely decline and run for the hills.

-Some men prefer to wear their mustaches on the inside of their upper lips. This interesting style is called "snus", and is often combined - especially in Trønderlag - with another mustache on the outside of the upper lip.

-When a Norwegian asks you "do you want to grab a few beers/join me for a drink/etc.," this actually means "do you want to wake up in a pool of your own vomit the day after tomorrow, in a ditch somewhere with no clear recollection of the last week, having the mother of all headaches and without your pants?"

-*Never* look a Norwegian in the eye. This is considered a challenge to a battle to the death.

-By law, if you kill a Norwegian and are found by the courts to have been in the right, you legally own his womenfolk.*

-About 85% of Norway's atheists are members of the Norwegian State Church.

-Never stop for hitchhikers. Bears have been known take advantage of would-be helpful car drivers, by dressing up as hitchhikers.

-Grimkjell Arnfinnsson Haugagård from Skien, Norway became the first European in space when he in 1687 combined his traditional christmas lutefisk meal with a particularily feisty and spicy mug of "karsk" (a traditional Norwegian beverage made from ethanol, hydrochloric acid, rock and fish.) The resulting expansion of gas propelled him into polar orbit.


*In 1973, new gender equality laws stated that you also own any menfolk that might have belonged to the late Norwegian.

Seriously? O_o But I suppose you'll be imprisoned, so that goes out the window. :p

Oooo.. monsters.... scary.... especially female ones...

Well the only time you'll see a Valkyrie is when she is carrying you off to Valhalla (presuming you died honourably) or fending off some beasties, in her warrior capacity...so it's sort of akin to sighting a crow...it's a sign of death.

Oh those crazy Norwegians... what will they think of next?

I dunno, go show Fortinbras that life isn't just about some stupid plot of land.

I dunno.. what do people do in Norway? See the fjords or something..

It's "pining for the fjords."

Could I beg you to go to Trondheim? Pwease?

Oh, and, got to Hell.

Actually,Valkeries are messengers of the gods but I suppose they would attack you if you didnt worship odin,thor and the like so just become a warrior and fight in many wars and you will go to Vallhallah,Were the brave may live forever.:cool:

Not just messengers. Their name literally means those who chose the slain. They were also warriors of course, and tended to those who managed to ascend to Valhalla.

Norse mythology is so awesome.

Go see the impact crater. Visit any and all places of interest. And be sure to have some gay sex at least once.

I'm guessing you started to say "Silly faggot: dicks are for chicks" but opted not to flame/flamebait me like that? Have you ever indulged in gay sex? It's awesome. So yes, it's a good thing to wish someone.

Oh, okay then.

Anyway, in addition to what I already said, I think the dude who created the thread should also try and purchase an authentic berserker axe.
