I'm watching this to recreate my vacation in Norway.  Already homesick to go back!  I was in Oslo, Bergen, Flam, Stalheim & Trondheim ... Norway is an AMAZING place ... with humble, beautiful, friendly & helpful people!  The word "Majestic scenery" does not do the description of Norway justice ... beauty without words to define it  <3

I lived in Norway. Now i am in Florida. Both have cons and pros.
1) Less Taxes in USA, specially in republican Florida
2) Norway has more social benefits
3) Norway has an excellent public transportation system.
4) Florida is warm. (I am in FL)
5) Everything is expensive in Norway and higher Sales tax (VAT).
6) USA is large, Norway is Tiny.
7) America has more to offer in everything.
8) Norway is the most richest country in the world in general. ( from UN and other facts)

When I see things like this I wonder why in the world my family ever left Norway. I'm 3rd generation American.

so humble, peaceful, and charming. Norway's always been my favourite Nordic county. Big hug from tropical Indonesia

I've watched Rick Steves since first airing. Sometimes with lapses, alas. In times like these, these shows are "good for what ails you". When I'm in a funk these really take me out of myself - so uplifting. 💗 Thank you, Rick Steves and team, for this gift.

[EnigmaticNeurosis]

I want to live in Skyrim. I mean Norway.

[daniellejohnson]

Every time i watch these videos about traveling it makes my heart race. It makes me feel a longing and excitement that i cant get going to a movie, or reading a book. I hope that one day I'm fortunate enough to travel freely and experience all of these wonderful places.

[XxDreamPoolxX]

Norway looks beautiful... Maybe, I could go there one day? :)
With regards, from America!

As a young child, my family moved to a farm in a small community in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. We were only there a handful of years, but I later learned why the hamlet was named Bergen and all my neighbours were Norwegian. I had been given a rare gift of being surrounded by the culture and ways that were continued by the progeny of the first Norwegian settlers in this area. They were a hardy, hardworking, ingenious people who ALWAYS had time to help their neighbour and it seemed like EVERYONE could either draw beautifully or knew how to play a stringed instrument. This made for many wonderful, impromptu, living room concerts. What an unknown privilege that I'm glad I finally came to appreciate. Thanks for a look at where they all originated from. Another great "armchair" trip. LLR

Love Norway and her people. My grandmother was born there in 1895, as were her parents and their families.
