Something I've been doing a lot lately..

Partying..

I wanna tell you a bit about the Norwegian 'russefeiring'. This article covers the basics.. We roll with buses, party every night (also on schoolnights) and do missions, like drinking a case of beer in 24 hours and having protective sex in the woods.

The most spectacular and interesting point of the celebrations (lasting for 3 weeks) is the buses.. They are like cheap and ghetto party buses we build ourselves, in action from 8 pm to 5 am every day for the 3 weeks Here's the bus song of the bus I rolled the most with. I could've been in on it, the only difference is that I would've had a sweater saying Kamikaze and there would always be space for me on the bus - and I would've been more broke than I am I did work on Kamikaze though..

A typical bus looks like this:

This voting covers most of the buses from the west side of Oslo.. Keepin' it simple (although arrogant), this is where the money is.

We have 3-4 main events in addition to all the rolling around in suburbs and playing music at parking lots with other buses.


Is there anything like this Stateside? Or in the UK?

 

[Omnis]

No. Something like that would be shut down in a heartbeat. Not to mention I think the idea of partying all night and listening to lame music is lame.

 

[Sureboss]

It's called Raving. And it's fun, especially topless ones. Boobies!

 

[Keef]

Is there anything like this Stateside?

Apparently not. Because if all I had to do was paint a bus and wear a sweater to get laid in the woods, buddy, I'd paint that bus and I'd wear that sweater.

Also that Kamikaze bus is pretty sweet. There's no JDM bias in that statement at all.

 

[Sureboss]

You need to go to a rave, Keef. It's a bit difficult to not get laid.

 

[Keef]

The only problem with raves is that everyone there is on drugs.

 

[Sureboss]

Not everyone. Though I've known someone to smoke their own pubes at a rave. Maybe not drugs, but just as disturbing.

 

[ExigeEvan]

There's me thinking it was only the Spanish that did such amazing things! That is an absolutely amazing tradition. Sounds like a great chance to have fun.

No. Something like that would be shut down in a heartbeat. Not to mention I think the idea of partying all night and listening to lame music is lame.

Someone killed your fun times.

 

[Aldo]

@Sureboss: Wait what...?
Smoke... their... own...
Please tell me that was a joke

 

[Sureboss]

Nope.

 

[mafia_boy]

This is why I love Scandinavians. The chicks that come here for holidays and go to Bondi are usually just drop dead gorgeous.....like when they walk past gorgeous!!

Awesome techno + hot as Norwegian chicks in woods having sex = Epic WIN!! 👍:tup:

Aldo, go watch an episode of Dirty Sanchez, they do that stuff all the time.

 

[CDailey]

But you listen to Eurobeat. That is the definition of lame music.

 

[Aldo]

Nope.

Oh dear

Aldo, go watch an episode of Dirty Sanchez, they do that stuff all the time.

Yeah but they actually get payed to do stuff like that...

 

[Omnis]

I know. But I don't play it at parties on top of a bus in a parking lot for the entire night.

 

[Lucas]

Something I've been doing a lot lately...

Being a virgin.


Oh, wait. We were not supposed to tell our own personal experiences?

Pretty cool, I say. Except for the fact that there's always someone stupid that 🤬 it up.

 

[Stevisiov]

Wow Eiriksmil, looks great. Next time I am in Norway I won't forget to stop by.

Those busses are just great.

 

[stumpydino]

im sure its not as naff as it sounds...

woow i want to be a cool kid too!

 

[McLaren]

No, he's right, everyone. In the states, everyone in a rave is usually hopped up on some sort of drug, mainly from people passing it around, or blowing the smoke into each others faces.

I'm with Omnis, though. Sounds something like what juvenile delinquents do, imo.

 

[Bram Turismo]

I think everyone is overrating this season when hearing the facts form one viewpoint.

First of all, the buss Eirik posted are one of the busses the rich students from Oslo drive. Here are the busses you see the kids around here have to drive with for 6 hours:

Second of all, when most of you think this sounds like fun, many people are being hurt by being so stupid to get behind the wheel drunk every year this season. Or because 5 guys like the fact drunk girls can't resist when they're drunk.

I haven't been a part of this "partying". I think it's stupid. What was a tradition of the celebration of the end of High school, it has now turned into a celebration of "How much I can drink beofre I can get drunk and do all these stupid things".

Eating or drinking as many raw eggs as possible, drinking 3L of milk as fast as possible, eating 2L of icecream in 45 minutes, having sex with as many as possible in a month, getting drunk in a tree and stay in it all night, measurring penis lenghts of people all over school, telling porn stories in the middle of class, and much more stupid stuff.

No thanks.

Wow, I didn't realise the partying was so messed up.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Wow, I didn't realise the partying was so messed up.

I'm pretty sure that in the city Eirik hasn't got it so messed up, although it might happen. The towns are most crazy, people get drunk all the time, have sex with others (most probably unprotected) and don't remember their name at that point, nor the next day what they've been doing.

Another thing we get to do is to joke around with younger students. Just some innocent fun, but recently things have been going too far. In our school it was so severe last week that a student was afraid of showing up at school because 5-6 guys form my class were chasing him down for an hour. Also, a little over a week ago some other students (not form my school) sprayed teargass over other students. These things are going way too far for the last years. I don't get what students get into their minds as of lately. Seriously, teargass?!

 

[McLaren]

Yeah, that kind of stuff wouldn't fly here. I'm positive the schools in the US would be shut down if teargas was brought.

 

[Omnis]

Sounds like a culmination of everything I hated about high school.

First of all, I gotta say I really don't see the problem in getting laid. Second of all, what you make of it is your choice.
Those missions (or knots as we call them) are stupid. Drinking a beer while you're pissing, walking with another 'russ' tied up for a schoolday, wear 8 wunderbaums around your neck for a day, paying for an hour of parking downtown and occupy the space with you and a there wheel bike, etc. That's the official knots for the biggest area, those are fun In fact I kinda wish you'd have longer time to do all of them, some are just hysterically fun. There are 80 of these knots by the way..

I really don't think you're in a position to criticise this if you haven't been a part of it. True, some have been emotionally hurt, some probably have to get pumped of alcohol and some end up in fights - all of these things happen friday and saturday nights anyway, if you don't know how to control yourself.

 

[McLaren]

I see the problem in getting laid if it involves doing it in the woods, with multiple people as well. Call me old fashion or boring, I don't see any kind of thrill from that.

I also don't see anyone having to be a part of it to criticize it either. Nothing about it makes it unique. All I see it as, is being a mix of doing the stupidest things imaginable & nobody needs a reason to criticize stupidity....

 

[Mark T]

Let's just say that most of our parents probably got up to a lot worse in the sixties.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Wow, I didn't realise the partying was so messed up.

I thought the U.K was bad! I'm kind of glad that a night out in the U.K only goes as far as vomiting over strangers, urinating over your best friend, or waking up at a bus-stop surrounded by commuters.

 

[Bram Turismo]

First of all, I gotta say I really don't see the problem in getting laid.

If you don't see the problem with having unprotected sex with multiple people, then I'm beginning to wonder what's wrong with you.

I really don't think you're in a position to criticise this if you haven't been a part of it.

I am in a position to criticise this as some friends of me already have been hurt. A friend of mine has been raped earlier this year because so was too drunk to give any resistance. I don't need to be beaten up by 3 drunken guys just to be able to criticise the exaggorrated use of alcohol used by youngsters these days.

True, some have been emotionally hurt, some probably have to get pumped of alcohol and some end up in fights - all of these things happen friday and saturday nights anyway, if you don't know how to control yourself.

And most of these people don't know how to control themselves. How are you going to control yourself when you're drunk? The main problem I'm having with this period are the drinking habits of youngsters. I've learned to rather enjoy a good, cold beer, rather than drinking it just to get drunk. I wish others around here would think this way as well. They couldn't be bothered for the quality of the beer they're drinking, for them Carlsberg and Heineken is the best beer in the world. I think this tells enough with they know about beer quality No, what I'm having a problem with is that I can't go somewhere to enjoy a beer because everyone keeps complaining that I don't get drunk.

Makes my nights out so far seem kind of lame, I haven't made it to university yet though.

@Bram, Teargas? seriously?

Is it possible that your area experiences the worst of it? Surely that sort of stuff isn't so bad throughout Norway.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Like I said, that didn't happen in my area. Every year somewhere in Norway there are a bunch of kids doing stuff that goes beyond acceptable. I'm not saying this kind of celebration should be removed, but I do think that some parts of it raise question marks, and some things tend to get out of control.
