Norwegian Cultural etiquette

When looking for a particular country of cultural etiquette, I came across a website that supplies information for many countries cultural standards. This site is ediplomat.com, which list cultural etiquettes around the world and allows you to learn about many cultural aspects such as: the people and how they greet eachother, their corporate culture, and even their body languages. I chose Norway, whereas, I am unfamilar with their culture and values as compared to the U.S. Some of the differences in the Norwegian culture when meeting someone, would not have the terms "pleased to meet you," or any such greeting, because they find these to have no real meaning. Their body language is much different compared to ours, where touching between close friends or relatives is allowed, but not so much between aquaintances. It is very unlikely to make personal contact with a non-family member. Norwegian culture seems to be family oriented and a lot more proper than the U.S, where politeness is highly valued.
