Its true. Im swedish and I have to agree, compared to americans we are extremely reserved/introverted. Though I´d say Swedes are nor less or more outgoing than the Norwegians and the Finnish people. Danish ppl are a little more outgoing I´d say.
In the northern parts of sweden they are even more extremely reserved/introverted than you can ever imagine ...
Dont know about Japanese, but i dont think its possible to be more reserved than a "norrlänning"(person in the northern parts of Sweden).
I do my best to teach them about the northern way of life.
Many of the northern European countries have a similar reservedness. It's actually a pleasure to me to be around people who don't feel the need to make everyone aware of their presence. This goes for Scandinavians, Brits, Germans, Dutch and northern French. Of course, a few beers later and it's a whole different story, or if soccer is involved!
Yeah, let's not argue... Guess what Russians are from the Polish point of view...
Then again, you guys are good drinkers, which is something which can't be said from all of our Western neighbours...
1. It takes more than ability to be "good drinkers" to be extroverted culture/nation. ( Because let's face it - what I dunno said about Brits is true also.)
2. It's irrelevant to me, what "Russians are from the Polish point of view," because every time I've dealt with Poles personally, it was nothing but very positive experience; I have nothing but good words to say.
The fact that some can sound cocky on-line does not change it a bit.
