What was your biggest cultural shock after moving to Finland?
I'm working on a new article for r/Finnopedia about cultural shocks/its stages and stumbled on this article from Visit Finland. It describes 5 major cultural shocks expats are having from living in Finland:
- Personal space
- Social conduct
- Nudity
- Climate
- Communication
For me the biggest shock was communication and social conduct, as I'm an extravert it was really difficult to get used to it, but I guess over 12 years that I've been living in Finland I became more balanced :)
What was your biggest cultural shock after moving to Finland and when it came?
