- Tourist office. How can I help you?, säger en kvinnlig röst på andra sidan luren.

- Have I reached Torshavn tourist office?, frågar jag med inrepeterad engelska.

- Yes.

- On the Faroe Islands?

- Yep.

- In the Atlantic Ocean?

- Ehh… as a matter of fact it’s located between North Atlantic Ocean and Norwegian Sea, but yes.

- That’s quite amazing.

- What?

- The fact that I’m talking to you. I’m calling from Sweden you know.

- Uhum…

- You’re in the middle of a large ocean and were talking over the phone. I hear you when you talk and you hear me when I talk. Isn’t that something?

- Maybe…what exactly can I help you with?

- Do you know if we’re communicating via satellite? Because of the ocean between us and all.

- Ehh… what?

- Or do you think there’s a big cable transferring our voices on the bottom of the ocean?

- I don’t know. I don´t have time… can I help you with something, booking accommodation or a tour maybe?

- Either way I think it’s really amazing that our technological achievements has taken us this far. We can speak although you’re isolated on an island in the middle of… you know, nowhere.

- (Tystnad)

- I think it’s extraordinary.

- …(Fortsatt tystnad)

- Well… I, I’m done then.

- No Booking?

- No. I’m alright. Thank you.

- Ehh… okey, bye then.

- Bye.
