Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?
Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.
Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

Other comms that might be of interest:
Fun fact: there are approximately 20 Norwegians in the world, but they're adept at using multiple disguises for tax and voting purposes to artificially swell their numbers.
Many Norwegians don't even have parents, but are actually themselves in disguise.
You might be on to something! I don't actually know more than that number of Norwegians myself.
And half of the ones you know are you!
and they all have to take turns being in Eurovision
Heia Norge!
What’s Norway like compared to Finland? I’ve been to Finland twice and the country is lovely but the people are a bit too private for me. Like, so private I remember a few times people didn’t even say thank you when I do something like move out of their way or hold a door open. I know it’s just culture and not people being rude but I could never get used to it.
Doesn't sound similar, people here are free with simple pleasantries. I've never been to Finland myself, so I can't really comment on the differences, maybe somebody else can step up.
The only part of Finland I've been to is kilpisjärvi, which exists entirely for Norwegians to go and drive snowmobiles and drink. So I really can't say. Norway is essentially pretty but boring. Plenty to do if all you want to do is hike, ski and drink.
Thought you meant like Liechtenstein small. Norway isn't that small (though that might be because I'm from the very Norwegian influenced part of the US)
Now I'm just waiting for the Liechtensteinians to show up...
You don't want the smoke that Denmark is getting.. But maybe the USA will want Svalbard after Greenland.
