Hi,

Just looking through your website there. Like the info you have.

I just wanted to make a note to you about tipping in Scandanavian countries. In Norway it pretty much is expected. Around 5% to 10% is good. I worked there last year and we sometimes got Swedish customers who would never tip. And there were even times they would say they aren’t doing it because they are Swedish. But I had a lot of friends working in Norway and its definitely customary. And unlike the rest of Europe people usually tip there for drinks as well like in the states.
