Kaj Nylen Petter Eriksson Johan Magne
We are glad to meet you here because we’ve got
new habits and new learning.
FACTS ABOUT STREAMSERVE UKRAINIANS:
They reply 'Yes, thank you' when people ask how
you are.
When a colleague asks out for a drink it will
probably be a long night with a severe
hangover the next day
No business can be conducted on Friday
afternoon. And entire July.
And it’s reasonable.
THIS WAS LEARNT DURING HARD WORK,
