my counsellor at NAV (work/welfare agency) wondered why i had taken a job aptitude test from the UK instead of one from Norway.

because more resources are pooled into things that are in English. because it's a bigger and more successful language and culture.

Norwegians usually prefer things to be from Norway. we're so picky that even Swedish stuff is sometimes seen as lower quality. we see ourselves as superior and the best country in the world, and i think that's ridiculous. massive national ego considering how insignificant we truly are.
