My aunt married someone of Swedish descent. It was always funny when we visited from Mississippi (land of friendly “hellos” and finding out about your personal business).

- The only part of the US I’ve visited is Florida. The locals were very much like that; lot’s of friendly “hellos” - and not only coming from people who wished to sell you something.
From what I understand people in the south of USA in general are known for being open, cheerful, friendly and hospitable.
In Scandinavia (including Finland) Danes, Norwegians and people in southern Sweden are known for being friendly, while inhabitants of Stockholm are considered arrogant and stressed-up and people in Northern Sweden and Finland are known for being mute, playing ice hockey, hunting moose and Russian soldiers (tiny Finland is the only nation that ever defeated the Soviet Union in a war).
