Love the self awareness of this hilarious little book - seen in #Norway last year
The front page of a hardback book title The Social Guidebook to Norway, An Illustrated Introduction, with 4 simple cartoon heads below, the first 3 identical with simple hair, eyes neutral flat mouth and the words below Happy, Sad, Angry.  The 4th has a big smile and Drunk below it.  The author below Julien S. Bourelle
To be fair, it's written by a Canadian guy. But it's a funny read. 😁
Is it???? So not so great self awareness then!
Have one for Seden as well... Just changed the country. https://www.adlibris.com/se/bok/the-swedes-a-happy-culture-of-scandinavia-9788293622086
Yeah - it occurred to me that it could be adapted for a fair number of countries... The Swiss could fit too on occasion.
The guy who wrote the books is apparently an inspirational speaker..... I suspect he is Danish...
The little bits of snark we see between the Scandis are hilarious from a distance. I loved the Ikea move to name their shitest products after Danish towns for eg. Just fabulously funny. And the reaction showed a bunch of otherwise good neighbours taking each other way too seriously.

I'm in #Jersey and we have exactly the same with our friends across the water in #Guernsey. Big level of snark there too. Also very funny to a blow-in like me!
Having been in Bergen on a Saturday night, can confirm.
the Bryggen on a Saturday night can be something else. I’ve been stood ten quid beers by strangers there a few times… and seen them standing on the tables.
don't drink anymore, face permanently fixed to 1, 2, and 3 - at the same time.

Hjelp!
