This is when you know that a Norwegian bus stop is full
And that you need to stand
Actually this is just part of the picture
The complete picture looks a little bit more like this
Norwegians need space
A lot of Space
When I moved to Norway
I noticed that Norwegians would move away from me when i sat too close to them
And that they needed much more space than what I was used to
When interacting with people of a different culture
We need to make an effort to understand why people behave as they do
For the last 7 years, I have been explaining the Norwegian culture to foreigners and Norwegian themselves
We all see the world through our own cultural glasses
I help people see the world through Norwegian cultural classes
And help Norwegians to realize how their behaviors may be perceived.
It was a pleasure to contribute to Alt for Norge 2019 and give a crash course to our American friends tongiht!
