Artig bok om hvordan vi oppfører oss i Skandinavia, kjekk bevisstgjøring på ting vi ikke tenker over at resten av verden opplever som unormalt

Second book of Julien's I have read. Both were super fun to read and also very informative. Love learning about different cultures and will be better equipped for my next visit to Norway!
