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…
Sweden is in a weird spot as had a far left leaning when it came to letting in migrants (though heard that's finally resulting in gains for more right leaning parties) but didn't fall for the pandemic measures.
At least you didn't move to France or Germany.
The didnt "fall" for it? It was painfully obvious ti anyone in Scandinavia thsr Sweden was the first country "to go". If they introduced lockdowns all the native Swedes would comply and all the invaders would rampage theough the streets in every major city. Hard to cover up Sweden just burning down in a month(;
