• Keep in mind our way of life is quite different from many other countries. In the bigger cities people share spaces a lot, but the bulk of swedes live in the country side where we have pretty limited contact with others. No restaurant culture to talk about, no pubs, not many concerts to see, etc etc.

    I think we're pretty isolated to start off with. Normally it sucks, but pretty handy during a pandemic

    The same applies to the Nordic region as a whole. There´s just so few people out and about and people chatting away (if they´re one of the weirdo extroverts) two metres apart looking at a shared imaginary focal point on the ground 5 metres away is the norm. Unless they´re drunk of course. Also, "bigger cities" needs to be taken with a grain of salt anywhere in the region. To sum it all up, it´s just boring up there.

    And the most for Finland, I found. I know it's a bit of a meme anyway, but I visited Helsinki not too long before the whole Corona thing and I found it amazing how wide the spaces between houses and blocks of flats are, how wide every pavement is, etc. Seems to be built with a 2m distancing rule in mind...

  • Speak for yourself, I love the wild nature and don’t have to listen people chatting sh*t in my ear

  • Wow. Boring in the North. 😎
