| Cultural Insight |
| Sydney: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Asger: If you ask where someone is going, they will most likely be happy to tell you. Unless you have just met them. Then, you might come off as a little bit too curious, which may creep some Danes out. But of course, this all depends on the situation. |
