Following her wellness treatments, Lie transitions to social activities. She enjoys early 'after-work' gatherings, a practice she appreciates about Sweden. She contrasts this with Norway, where she grew up, noting that social meetings there typically occur late in the evening for drinks. This preference underscores her integration into Swedish social norms while acknowledging her Norwegian roots.

I really like this about Sweden; I grew up in Norway, and they don't have early after-work drinks there; you always meet late in the evening for drinks.
