Work and Education

I love the Norwegiens style of work. Kind of laid back-ish yet effective. 

I feel it somehow reflects on the maturity of their society in general. There is no real 'rank' play between co workers. 

They have lunch together everyday. Spread on the table and everyone just comes in at 12 to have lunch. And every Friday they take turns cooking lunch and bringing it to work.

BUT they dont sleep during working hours. In Sg its normal to take naps in lieu of lunching out but here its frowned upon. It reflects on your work ethics? as a colleague said. 

Its always an eye opener to live in another culture. I look forward to his learning oppurtunity, not just work-wise but perhaps something that can be applied in life.

Now this, is what I call education.
