"Strangers in the night" Top 5 Page for this destination Oslo Local Custom Tip by Hildeal

2) A foreigner who’s not been approximately assimilated to know when to shut up!

3) An extremely outgoing Norwegian ( who has probably spent some years abroad).

4) A mentally retarded person who just likes to talk.
