Summary

After living there for the past 10 (!!!) years, Jason shares what life as an expat is like in Norway, why he moved there in the first place (hint: ❤️), the reserved nature of Norwegians and if it's a warranted stereotype and of course, his favorite Norwegian foods. We also discuss the challenges and rewards of living in a different culture, the difficulty of understanding cultural references, the importance of shared background in creating a sense of belonging, and the impact of social media on cultural awareness.
