How Norwegians Greet Eachother

I just came across this humorous book about Norway called Grandiosaland, which means Grandiosa country.  Grandiosa is the national favorite frozen pizza.  According to Wikipedia every Norwegian eats around 5 Grandiosas every year.

The page “Greeting rituals” on the books website show how Norwegians greet each other in different places.  So very typical Norwegian.  Translation: (clockwise from top left corner) in the elevator, in the hallway, in the city, in the state of drunkenness, in the south (meaning anywhere with more sun than Norway) and in the mountains.

The book looks really  funny but unfortunately it is only in Norwegian.
