My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it’s like for others here on the fediverse.

    Pretty funny that coming from a Norwegian because they still have the flag out many places in my opinion :)
    It’s actually one of the things that stuck out the most after I had moved there.
    Especially at “hytter” (vacation cabins) I think the majority has a flag out.
    Same for national day, you’ll see a bunch of flags.

    Compare that to Belgium, where I’m from. Even on national day it’s a rare sight to see a flag.
    And it’s only very fanatic people that will actually wave it around on the street.

    The moment you’ll see most flags out is probably during the world cup.

      Such an odd phenomenon. Here (germany) we don’t have those but some long time campers fly flags more than the rest of the country.

      Swedes also do it with their stugas and i think danes too?
