THE SWEDESSwedes are generally polite. Most will answer your questions in English in a helpful way. If they don´t ? they might just be shy. Generally Swedes are trustworthy and honest, of course there can be bad apples falling everywhere. Swedes you meet in bars are often very open hearted, and many Swedes go out during the weekends. If you are invited to a Swedish home, you might meet the whole family, children included - often participating at meals, and not always as well behaving as in the middle and southern parts of Europe. If you make friend with Swedes, you will probably not get rid of them. Christmas cards will show up year, after year - but that might just be the contact! If you persuade them well enough, you might get them to come and visit you. Swedes don´t want to make problems, and are very humble in bothering people (which they might consider a visit to be). This has some of its roots in an attitude of behavior called the Jante law of somewhat Lutheran origin. It gives them a hard time accepting compliments, flatter, gratitude or anything making them appear better than one another. So, what do you think? Are you ready to come or not!!! |
