Finnish Personal Space


What I find really different is that Finnish people are always keep distance with others. When we were waiting the bus at bus stop I saw Finnish guys kept about 2 or 3 meters between each other, even when it is rainy. Whenever we waiting in a line or stand together there is always what they called personal space. Besides that, Finnish are very Inward and quiet. However they are willing to help if someone is in trouble.

I think this is due to the small population density that Finnish people get used to have big personal space and stay alone. Consequently, Personal space is very usual not only in Finland but also some Nordic countries
