At this point, I think I'll have another beer and whisky, possibly a knockando this time.
Then I'll hang in the bar until I meet a fellow friendly newbie who wants to know where I'm from and what I do .. Of course, I end up mostly telling him or her about things I've experienced in the arctic (people are often curious about what life is like up here, so that happens a lot) and after a while, we end up talking about whaling or some other political stuff regarding Norway and possibly the EU.
The topic is not very bonding, but the likelyhood of it coming up is relatively high when meeting people from out of the country.
