Brendan the Navigator

St.Brendan was born around the year 484 near Tralee, County Kerry in Ireland. The story of St. Brendan and his fellow monks is told in The Voyage of Brendan (Navigatio) written around the year 900 which is a tale of travelling across the Atlantic possibly reaching the Americas. He is also known as Brendan the Navigator after this tale (The Navigatio). There is an impressive sculpture of St. Brendan standing on samphire rock at the entrance to Fenit Harbour in Kerry; gazing out over the Atlantic ocean, pointing in the direction of America.

Things you must and preferably should not ask

Hvad du må, og helst ikke må, spørge om:

Der er stor forskel mellem kulturer på hvad det er tilladt at spørge om og hvad det ikke er tilladt at spørge om. Vi danskere ser typisk os selv som værende meget ligefremme og åbne, måske en smule uhøflige endda. Men, der er nogle områder hvor du skal træde varsomt. Normalt taler vi ikke om sex eller kropsfunktioner, og heller ikke om økonomi. Danskere vil typisk forsøge at undgå at svare hvis du spørger til løn. Alder kan også være et følsomt emne, specielt for kvinder. Familie og børn snakker vi rigtig gerne om (måske for meget?). Politik og religion, det kan variere meget hvordan vi har det med det.

Vi taler efter sigende utrolig meget om vejret...
