How did I see the Swedes?
Some people think that the Swedes do not show what they feel very openly, whether it be joy or sorrow. Many foreigners also think Swedes display a certain stiffness of manner in their relations with others, but this could be a misunderstanding.
In fact the Swedes describe themselves very well, and they have always been charmed by the cheerfulness and zest for life they claim to find in other nationalities.
