| Cultural Insight |
| Sydney: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Asger: If you go to a restaurant in Denmark, you must never ever snap your fingers or call out "Waiter!" if you want to get the attention of the waiting staff. This comes off as incredibly rude and it will not only offend the staff, but also natives who might notice your behavior. Instead, try making eye-contact or say undskyld which means "excuse me" in this case. |
