@lostchefinsweden: I’m from California, where saying hello to someone you pass on the street is almost second nature. But after moving to Sweden, I’ve discovered that social interactions can work a little differently! Today I was walking with a coworker when we passed someone coming the other direction. We made eye contact, so naturally I said hello. My coworker immediately wondered why I’d done that! It’s funny how something that feels completely normal in one culture can feel a little awkward in another. I’m still learning the unwritten social rules here, and I’m curious: Do you greet strangers when you pass them in Sweden, or is it better to just keep walking? #swedishculture #lifeinsweden #culturaldifferences #swedishsocialrules #lostchefinsweden
