    Visited the American Northeast as a Swedish person. Dude at Chic-fil-A asked me how my day was. I’m like “whaaaat?” Great sandwich though but I still think about that young man’s pep.

      Finns are like „hold my beer”: Neighbours stand at the same bus stop for years on the way to work without exchanging a single word.

      I remember also being in Tromsø and getting a little book about the do’s and don’ts in Norway. One piece of advice in it stuck with me: only speak when you actually have something worth saying.

      Love the North and the Nordics.
