Jan-Erik, a 22 yr old Norwegian. He is the coolest and by far the friendliest Norwegian I ever met...well its my 1st Norwegian friend of course...he took our "S'pore fear factor" challenge bravely and sportingly by eating durian for the first time under our continued persuasion and confirmation that it isn't as smelly as most westerners perceived it to be....and of cos he learnt how to hold a pair of chopsticks for the 1st time too...lol
