What you shouldn't do in Norway
What shouldn't you do in Norway? I often hear the claim that Norwegians are weird. But I personally don't think so, because we are all different, and what's normal for one person may not even be acceptable for another. And considering that Norwegians are very polite and will never make you realize they're offended by something you said, it's best to know in advance what you shouldn't do in Norway. This will help you avoid awkward moments when communicating with Norwegians and allow you to get the most out of your stay in this country. I want to point out right away that in this video, I don't rely on my own experience or personal feelings, but rather on information from Norwegian sources, that is, I used various Norwegian articles written by Norwegians themselves.
