Today is the last day at work for many Norwegians
Your emails and calls will be answered in mid-august
Norwegian businesses and public agencies come to a stand still in July
If you are in the middle of a project with Norwegians
You will need to pause everything and wait until the summer is over to continue
Norwegians are going on vacation and this is a serious thing
The government and companies literally close their doors for a month
And it takes two more weeks for Norwegians to really be back at work
You may expect regular office hours in mid-august
Until then Norway is on vacation
If you come from a place where you have two weeks of vacation a year
You may be shocked by the Norwegian summer schedule
Life quality prevails in Norway
Greetings from beautiful Croatia where I am enjoying the summer with my Norwegian family-in-law
