Travel Europe | Rick Steve’s European Christmas (Norway): Drobak & Oslo

I had previously uploaded Rick Steves’ Oslo portion of his European Christmas, but thought I’d do another video that included Drobak as well. It’s interesting seeing how other countries celebrate the Christmas holidays. In the Oslo portion of the clip, the Norwegian Girls Choir sings Personent Hodie in the Old Aker Church.

Question by Ethan: Can a US citizen travel to Europe with a one way ticket?
I’m planning a nice round-the-world trip and I’ve started by going to Europe. I booked a one-way flight to Ireland and I’m concerned that they may give me flak about not having a return ticket. Can I explain to them what my plan is? I can bring bank statements showing my travel funds. Any hope of not getting booted out of the country?

Best answer:

Answer by longliveabcdefg
Showing enough travel funds is not enough to dissuade custom officials should they deny you entry because you could be suspected of going in to work without a work permit. You better show proof that you have reasons in your home country worthy of your return, e.g. a house, a really fat financial account.

    Aww, Drøbak is my mother’s hometown :) My grandmother lived there from 1950 or something and until she died in 2006. Drøbak is full of memories!

    Oh the memories. This is my Mother’s hometown. I was never there for Christmas, but it is beautiful to see. Thank you SO much for uploading this!

    Here in the States where I live, we have lots of wonderful people of African descent. However, among them are many who are nothing but hate and stupidity on two legs. Hardly a day passes when it’s reported in the news that “police are looking for a black man that robbed a liquor store … or … a black man raped … or … several blacks assaulted … and on and on it goes.

    If you have any sense there in Norway, you’ll be very careful about letting blacks in ’cause they’ll ruin your culture…

    they are all blonde:)

    I know it isnt a race my friend. There is also asian latinos (which Im half of), afro-latinos, etc.

    But when you just say “latino” in general non-latino people will have an idea of what you might look like

  12. ggeeiirr1100 says:

    what the fuck are you talking about? haha

  13. solecontroller says:

    latino isn’t a race. there are plenty of very white latinos, some even of scandinavian descent.

  14. tonton6969 says:

    beautiful country, warm people

    but Im latino, if I went there I would probably be “too” noticeable

    Elsker norsk jul:)

    in my country we celebrate festivus instead of Christmas. we like to say festivus for the rest of us. we start off with the airing of grievances and end it with feats of strength as we sit around our aluminium pole.

    Bra at ikke alle fokuserer på det som er neagtivt. Jeg har gjort et bra valg med å fokusere på det som er godt med å bo i Norge, noe som du tydeligvis kan lære av.

  18. SaerdnaOoOoo says:

    hahaha

  19. Summer86 says:

    Hvorfor suger Norge?
    Norge har det mye bedre enn mange andre land, så skjønner ikke hvorfor du klager. Da må du virklig ha det vondt.
    Jeg er glad i Norge og er stolt over å komme fra her :)

    Haha! Well… Xmas in norway is not that idyllic. Its actually pretty similar to the american xmas (exept the food)

    Im a norwegian myself so trust me XD norge sug hardt! :D

  21. hemoxp says:

    Please remember that norwegians are reserved people whom do not open the door to every stranger. If you want to experience the norwegian christmas, you must manage to be invited in to a norwegian family’s home. Only then you’re able to experience the true norwegian “jul”.
