Baffle your audience with your insight into Norway trivia. Here are 20 ice-breakers to get the conversation started.
The length of the Norwegian coastline is 2nd only to Canada.
Even most Norwegians don’t know that parts of Northern Norway is further East than Istanbul. Or that more Norwegians than Canadians speak English. Armed with these 20 fun facts about Norway, you are ready to engage the domestic audience with your insight. Norwegians tend to be viewed as a bit introvert. But we aren’t, really. We’re just being polite by not disturbing you in any way, or wasting your precious time. A bit like the Finns. Until we’re partying, that is. In any case, these are good ice-breakers to get Norwegians to talk about other things than the weather. Good luck!
I knew a few of those facts!!!!

Good to know! I’ve done so much research into Norway…I would hope talking about friluftsliv could get a Norwegian to talk.

Friluftsliv gets some going, so to speak, but these are for everyone. Oh, and welcome to Norway! Here’s room for you too, should you choose to move here 🙂

That’s true! I was determined to visit after graduating with a paralegal degree, trying to learn some Norwegian Bokmål too. I think if I’m determined enough, I would find a way.

It’s a good place to live. Unless you live by wearing bikinis.

No, I don’t like the tropics too much. I was born in Miami, FL but have been moving further north (in the US) over time.
