It is disgusting to think that this is a number and date that indicates an unfortunate disaster. Especially if "Friday" and "13" happen to be the same day, then this day is called "Black Friday" and people will try to avoid activities on this day.
(2) Color taboo Norwegian businessmen are cautious about the use of black on weekdays.
They usually use black as the color of mourning clothes. In mourning, they are used to wearing black clothes, black ties and black scarves. They think black is serious, and it can be used in funerals to express mourning and respect for the dead. Norwegian businessmen advocate red, especially in clothing. Girls' coats and children's ski shirts are mostly red, and even men's felt hats are mostly red. Norwegians generally believe that red reminds people of the red sun and gives people a warm feeling. They also like green and blue, thinking that green symbolizes auspiciousness and blue symbolizes beauty. Norwegian women especially like brown. Most people are willing to make their skin brown. They often decorate themselves with brown and compete with each other.
(3) Pattern Taboos Norwegians don't like the traditional landscape patterns, ladies' patterns and big red flowers in China.
They hate Chinese characters and patterns, and don't like religious symbols and patterns such as sickles and hammers on commodity packaging. Norwegians are happy to see heather flowers and river birds. They call heather the national flower and river bird the national bird. They also like abstract patterns, and are used to using Christmas flower patterns on gift boxes and flowers and wheat ears on wine labels.
Norwegian customs are a bit strange. The most popular color in Norway is red. Girls' coats, children's ski shirts or men's felt hats are all red.
The Norwegian diet is mostly simple, and scones are eaten at Christmas dinner. I usually like to eat seafood, sausages, smoked fish, sauerkraut and various dairy products.
Norwegians have a strange etiquette, that is, people should keep a fixed distance from each other when talking. 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.
Punctuality is a special habit of Norwegians. Punctuality is not only rude, but also considered as bad faith. 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.
If you are visiting or attending a family dinner for the first time, it will be very welcome if the guests can bring a bunch of flowers or candy as a gift to the hostess. When having a meal, the guests should propose a toast to the host, but only when there are less than six guests. If there are more than six guests, you can't propose a toast to the hostess, because if all the guests propose a toast to the hostess, she will undoubtedly get drunk. At the end of the party, you must make a formal apology to the hostess.
