I will never understand why americans always seem to wear their shoes inside 😂

[AnabethalightASMR]

When you said “the Swedish silence” and “people don’t really make small talk here” I went 💆🏽‍♀️” magical! I really need to move to Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Finland.

[Janpeders]

As a swede i can say this.
We dont have perfectly sunny days.
We have boiling and we have freezing

[samanthamartins]

And a place where strangers don't try to make small talk with you everywhere you An introverted persons dream. I think I'm meant to be here.

[Maybwu]

Man, wearing shoes inside is nasty. Even during summer.

[emmjh]

Introverts watching: No small talk? That's Heaven. 😍

The last time i was in Sweden we visited Lundt and there was a small pastry/coffee shop, which was a secret tip (at least according to my friends i was travelling with :p ). The woman who i think owned the place took our orders and of course instantly recognized us as tourists, so she started to talk to us with perfect english. After a sentence or two she correctly identified us as Germans and switched to perfect German. You wouldnt have even noticed, that it wasnt her mother tongue. That kinda impressed me as it takes really quite some time and efford to be fluent in several languages, and i noticed that on several occasions in Sweden :-)

Oh yes, the pastries were also great :D

Taking your shoes off when you come home after a long day is the best feeling!

I was in a public bus in Stockholm heading towards ABBA museum. I asked a beautiful Swedish girl sitting next to me about the location and she helped me find the nearest stop to go to the museum. She wished me best for the visit as it was too late as the museum was going to close in about an hour and it was raining. It was in May 2018. Sweden is cold but people are warm.

If a stranger talks to you on the bus or on the tube in Sweden, they're something of the below.

1. Drunk
2. High
3. Old (+70)
4. Psychotic

"they really have an indoor shoe culture"
laughs in asian

I never really understood why people wear shoes inside in America. I've never lived outside the US, but I hate wearing shoes inside 😂 it just feels weird

It actually goes for all of the Scandinavian peoples.
Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Finns, Icelanders and the Faroese, - for all of us stands the fact that:
We WILL NOT small talk!
To us it´s a complete waste of time.
That doesn´t mean we won´t engage in a conversation but that´s exactly it, - it will turn into a conversation.
So if you´re in a supermarket asking people; " hi, how´s you´re day? How are you doing? " and you don´t know them they will look at you in puzzlement because why would you care?
On the other hand, if you express an actual interest in the other person they will happily open up to you and start conversing.
It´s just a cultural thing of Scandinavia about letting people have their space to get on with whatever fills their day, so make no biggie of it.
It doesn´t mean people are unfriendly, - they are just being private in public.

I too lived in Sweden from 1980-1987. I lived and worked in a small village in southern Sweden. Everything you’ve mentioned is truly accurate. I still speak Swedish fluently to this day and still talk and visit my friends that I’ve met these many years later. Just visited last summer for a month. I miss it it very much and truly loved living there. Lycka till dig och njut av din tid I Sverige.

I was privileged to live in Stockholm, Malmo, Hallsberg and Umea in my two years in Sweden! Great country and incredible people.

I am from Singapore and I enjoy watching your Swedish sojourns, especially as I will be in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Abisko in December 2019. Sweden here I come !

[thefanpageedits]

I am an introvert in Sweden so i am happy when it’s silence lmaoooo

[Stromen]

I really hate that we are so quiet when I was in London I did not know what train to take. I did not even say anything and a random guy came up to me and just helped me. that would never happen in Sweden lol
