In most countries around the world
When a conversations becomes a little awkward
You find something to comment about
The flowers on the table for example 
It gives a new start to the conversation
Awkwardness goes away quickly
In Norway
It works a little differently
Conversations often need a frame
You will take part in a quiz night rather than go for a coffee
You will play a game rather than discussing the news
You will go walking in the mountain rather than reflecting together on the world
In Norway
If you want to discuss politics, sign up in a political organisation
If you want to discuss art, sing up in an art club
If you want to discuss feelings, get an appointment with a psychologist
Welcome to Norway
Where communication works differently
You may need a guidebook
