What can an American of Scandinavian blood expect on a trip to the northlands? My dad and I are going to visit Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark this summer to reconnect with our Norse brothers and sisters.

Expect a normal vacation to nordic countries. If you go about talking about your heritage to Norwegians they will be nice and say that they think it's cool and so on. But that's it. Enjoy Norway, friend.

Since it summer you can expect midnight sun if you go north.
24/7 daylight.
>pic taken at midnight from my porch
>MUH HERITAGE
haha holy fucking shit, kill yourself
>kill yourself
Dude chill.
expect to pay twice what you're used to for everything, someone needs to pay for social services to their arab migrant population they like so much
>midnight sun
>mosquito's everywhere if you enter a forest
>gas prices are about 5x that of in the USA
>McDonalds is not a cheap place
>people are not religious, don't bring that shit up
>you can drink the tap water in all countries
Do you mind sharing your travel plan?
if you're going to go full muh heritage, visit the viking ship museum in oslo, any of the stave churches and hike somewhere around the fjords (preikestolen and trolltunga would be neat to visit)
are you the islandnigger
>mosquito's
Do not know this feel
Yes I live on an island. (the guy with the home made food smoker)
>Do not know this feel
Fucking Iceland.. Gonna ship you a few billion of the little fuckers.
>yurip thinking it knows anything about 'skeeters
...
>Scandinavian blood
Keep informing people that you have it and also state that you're worried about Europe's future because of the immigration.
People love to talk about there
Yes we do. Especially here in northern Sweden.
>some of the biggest swarms in the world has been seen here
>government put up signs to warn tourists
>skeeters literally kill (yes kill) between 100-150 reindeer every year from causing pure blood loss
>school often got canceled when I was a kid because we could not get there due to them
kys
>our Norse brothers and sisters
Well golly gee, I stand corrected then. Why would they ever congregate in a frozen hellhole? I also heard they have them pretty bad in Alaska as well. I would've figured the skeeters naturally hated cold, It is counter-intuitive.
TRUST A DANE
FEEL THE PAIN
Be sure to remind everyone that DA GLORIOUS NORTHERNEER blood courses through your veins.
>, It is counter-intuitive.
Yep that's what I'm thinking but still every damn summer, you hear that? The buzzing of hell coming our way...
Last summer I went out to get the mail (50 yards from my house) without a shirt.
187 bites. Yep.
>be me last summer
>wanted to hike in Sarek
>instant regret
I had to keep myself covered head to toe all week, it was hot as fuck. Sometimes there were so many mosquitoes, it looked like a dark smoke, fucking scary desu
>lives on an island
>complains about mosquito's
Yes? They thrive in humid environments. Crossing some water is no problem. Their larvae literally hatch in the waters edge.
reminder that icelanders are seperatist scum
There's mosquitos everywhere. Last night i forgot to close my window and woke up with my feet covered in bites.
I live in a city btw.
Been there done that kek.
>hiking Kungsleden
>mid summer and hot as hell
>enter wooded area while shirtless
>literally had to run for 25 minutes to get away from a huge black cloud of them
>took refuge in a cabin, put on long sleeves and pants, rubbedm y self in mosquito spray
>didn't help
>got butchered on the 3h hike to my campsite
>had to lit giant fire to smoke them away so I could sleep
Fuck me, I thought mosquitoes were for the tropics
Magic!
>Fuck me, I thought mosquitoes were for the tropics
Kek. But don't worry our mosquito's don't carry any diseases. They just make you itch.
Wtf, I thought the best part of living in a cold country was that you had almost no bugs, I was obviously very wrong.
We don't have bugs. In the winter that is.
6-7 months of the year = bug free.
Then summer arrives...
