Want to know about Norwegian folk customs

Norwegians like shaking hands very much. Whenever strangers meet, they always shake hands and exchange names. Similarly, shake hands when you meet people you don't know very well in the future. They are very friendly and polite. At any time, people who serve you will say Voer Sa god. Basically, this sentence contains two meanings: "You're welcome" and "I'm glad to serve you". The only Norwegian equivalent of the word "please" is rennligst, which is a formal statement and not commonly used. They have a strange etiquette, keeping a fixed distance when talking to people. It is considered that the distance between the two sides of the dialogue is about1.2m, which is the best customary distance. Otherwise, it will be considered impolite to exceed or fail to reach the customary distance of China people, which will dilute the conversation atmosphere or cause unpleasant formality.

The only impolite attitude of Norwegians appeared in the busy streets of Oslo. People seem to push each other and don't apologize often, so if someone bumps into you, don't apologize, as long as it's not a heavy bump, don't be angry. What should be paid more attention to (especially when you are driving) is that pedestrians sprint and jump when crossing the road, regardless of traffic signs and Scandinavians are recognized as the most orderly pedestrians in the world. The most popular color in Norway is red. Girls' coats, children's ski shirts or men's felt hats are all red.

If you can't be on time for some reason, you should call first, explain the reasons and get an understanding. Norway taboo "13" and Friday, so don't say "13" and Friday. It is also a Norwegian custom not to wear a hat indoors. Don't scare the river bird, because the river bird is Norway's national bird. The Norwegian people love this bird very much, and the government stipulates that it is not allowed to catch or destroy river birds.
