In the Nordic countries there is a quite coarse humor, and the tone can often be very direct. So how do you manage this as an expat. This episode focus on social conventions. We explore the direct approach and “Straight talking”. And we talk to expats about why "not beating about the bush" is considered positive. The high amount of trust is the foundation for the Nordic irony and the jokes where people play themselves down and make fun of others.
So how do you manage these social conventions as an expat?
