The bad sides of Norway, which are always mentioned about their beauty

When you think of Norway, people first think of welfare, nature and beautiful people. Norway is an enviable country even for many developed country residents. But of course, Norway also has negative sides. Of course, it should not be forgotten that these are things that will vary from person to person, from nation to nation.

Garbage is collected every 2 weeks. (Consumption is very little, probably no one throws rotting distorted things, or even check out the outdated things first if you find that they are broken, there are public spots such as don’t just throw history out.)

The houses in the city center are very small. Like sample houses of 35 square meters at IKEA.

If manpower is involved, it is very expensive.

The masters don’t know their job. (There are masters who break the working car in the repair shop, and ask for the hourly working fee, and this is considered normal.)

You need to learn them yourself when the cost and the lack of business come together. So, you should do the installation repair yourself.

The jobs you can do in most countries with affordable fees almost 7/24 are persecuted here. Such as printing out, getting a cake, shaving.

The country is already expensive, but alcohol is extra expensive. The cheapest of beer with 4.5% alcohol is 29 kroner in the market. An average of 90-100 crowns outside.

There is no retail alcohol sale after 8 Saturdays on weekdays. Alcoholic beverages above 4.7% cannot be sold outside the so-called monopolet.

Eating out is luxurious and there is no restaurant-style food. They have burgers, pizza, grilled food.
There is almost no home food service.

Public transportation is very expensive. If you have a car, it’s very expensive to host it in the city. Most cities are not flat, but you still ride bicycles because of the cost. There are bicycles with an electric motor and bicycles with special wheels for children.

The car is not expensive but getting a driver’s license is difficult and expensive.

Things that seem very simple can be a nuisance. For example, things that need instant need such as a taxi cannot be called instantly.

I don’t know if this is a problem, but if the weather is nice, they have a barbecue on the ground. For example, if you want to spread out on a beautiful water edge lawn, you are affected by the definitive barbecue smoke.

Hospitals are working strangely. Health procedures are almost free, but it is difficult to find a doctor at the time of holiday. There is no ready on duty doctor.

In July-August, they close the country and go on vacation. Everything runs 10 times slower.

There is an ad-free state channel NRK, but whether anyone with a television in their home can watch or not, whether there is a cable connection; It has to pay close to 300 Euros per year. Teams tour to detect the TV at home.

Everyone sits alone on the bus. People are standing up if there are no empty seats. They never go to the back of the bus. It is almost always calm, but you have come across a crowded moment, you may not be able to get on the bus because people do not sit next to each other or go back.

Bicycle theft is a very strange dimension. Not only bicycles, but all parts can be played separately. The unconnected wheel, seat, or even handlebar of your bicycle that you have attached with the strongest lock can be stolen. If you have a spiked tire bike, it is very likely to be stolen. If the lock is not strong, they pull it out between eyebrows and eyes. They even say that this affects the bike market very much because those who have to connect to the street do not buy good bicycles. Especially they are playing disc brakes immediately. There are too many bicycles on the right and the left, and the prices for the parts are very expensive.

How is the situation not known in the capital Oslo, but Bergen, the second largest city, is like this.
