In Norway flirting is a shy smile. In South Africa you might get a marriage proposal when buying beers for your Sunday braai.
Friends Rose Øvretveit And Tebogo "Franqo" Ntshole talk about the cultural clash between their home countries Norway and South Africa, and dive deep into the different challenges South Africa is facing. And sometimes Franqo teaches Rose really bad words in isiZulu. And Xhosa and Setswana.
New episode out every thursday!
And maybe some South African friends also pass through for guest appearances?
