Living in a new culture

Living in a new culture

I used to travel quite a lot and already saw different countries as well as cultures. Finland is in Europe as well as Switzerland, so there is not a really big difference between it. But the culture is still a bit different. 

The thing which I miss the most here is the way people say hello. In Switzerland we use to give a hug or a kiss and here you aren’t that close to each other. It is something which makes a distance between people. The people in Finland are kind of cold and they show not so many emotions. For me that’s a big difference and I kind of miss it sometimes. 

Also it’s hard to get in contact with other people because Fins are shy and don’t start to make a conversation. On the other side the life here is so much more relaxed. It seems that people are not so much in a hurry and they are just enjoying what they have.
