Norwegians interact differently with alcohol
They smile
They eye-flirt
They can "accidentally" bump into someone at New Year's Eve
They look at each other
Three seconds of intense eye contact have past
Suddenly they feel this great connection
They do not really get the opportunity to talk
They do not need to talk either
They wake up somewhere on 1st January
They do not really remember how they got there
The hosts invite for breakfast
A week goes by
It is the weekend again
They meet to watch a movie
They still haven't been talking much
When the movie is over
It becomes romantic in the room
Repeat for 6 months
You are now a Norwegian couple
It is now time to have some conversations
One to one
"In some countries around the world
You spend months talking
And then realise you do not have sexual chemistry
In Norway
You spend months having sex
And then realise you do not have anything to talk about together"
