Culture shock, sure, but the whole “Nordic model” is just a bit… Shit, honestly.
The whole country (that I have seen so far) feels like “Pleasantville”, but woke, and uber-modern, rather than 1950s Americana…
And the Turks. The fucking Turks here. Eugh…
Their rudeness seems more intentional than I would say it seems to be with more… “Native” Swedes.
Gonna be interesting learning to survive here. As a very “social” person, I… Certainly have some adjusting to do.
The strange mix of ultra-conformity and extreme cultural introvertedness is… A vibe. I’ll say that much.
Customer service? Ha…
Damn I thought you were from my home town, it was nice knowing there was at least 1 based person walking past the pigs in the mall.
Honestly, I might still be, lol.
If you mean the literal pigs (you’ll know the ones. There is also a fish, from what I recall), then your guess was correct, lol! 😅
Or if you mean the gold pigs, then nah, but I have spent a bit of time there, haha.
Nice to know the same for you!
But yeah, now I’m almost literally as far away as one can get, geographically, lol…
But I imagine I’ll be back at some point!
Gold pigs here.
