| Cultural Insight |
| Sydney: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Asger: In Denmark, it is not rude to ask when someone is leaving as long as you do not make it sound like you are asking because you actually want them to leave soon and get rid of them. If you are time-restrained, it is only normal to want to know when someone is going to leave. |
