I found that people in the south (where I grew up) are more talkative than in the north, or Stockholm (where my parents live now).SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650538600981463171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-34999714438456064652011-01-13T02:13:32.701-08:002011-01-13T02:13:32.701-08:00I actually don't think people are too bad here...I actually don't think people are too bad here on the train and bus. I don't mind the not talking. But if you ever greet someone you don't know while you're out walking in the forest or something. The stony faces that greet you. It's awful. I don't bother anymore. I don't think I'll ever get used to it.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855967433936597670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-13169760220562100182011-01-12T23:56:35.476-08:002011-01-12T23:56:35.476-08:00Oh, I know.

Heaven forbid you should have to talk to or make eye contact with people you do not already know.<br /><br />I haven't ever taken public transportation in Sweden but it sure sounds fun! I have, though, in Spain, France, and Belgium, and people were more talky there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-37944127387868114512011-01-12T14:45:23.814-08:002011-01-12T14:45:23.814-08:00Very true.

I am Swedish, but I also wonder why people can't just say ursäkta, too hard to pronounce?<br />There is one more trick, if the rustling doesn't catch your neighbor's attention, just (try to) stand up where you are at your inner seat...MissUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664571268547267190noreply@blogger.com
