Norwegians need space
A lot of Space
Even cats noticed that
When you think about it,
Norwegians are a little bit like wild cats
If you try to come close
To touch them
Or give them food
Norwegians and wildcats will run straight back to the woods
You need to play a game
For a few weeks
or a few months
I called this a "frame activity"
Like playing a sport or being part of an organisation
You also need to leave space
And leave an exit door
An opportunity to escape
Then Norwegians, just like wild cats, will come closer
Sit down
and accept to eat food with you
Welcome to Norway
You may need a guide as an outsider
As much as Norwegians themselves in order to understand better how they may be perceived by outsiders
