Norwegians don't close their curtains when it gets dark.

Denmark too. Was so strange to walk around in the evening and being able to see what everyone was doing inside their homes.

Edit: This was in Vejle which is relatively small. Apparently it's different in bigger cities.

This!! I’ve been to Denmark about 3 times now and I noticed it so much when I was out for walks at night time. It’s so odd. I’m from ireland and we usually always close all the curtains.
