Scandinavian people are said to be a bit shy & holding back, but those who really go on Erasmus, are open-minded, sociable(well, you just have to go there and talk to them, they still have some first contact shyness) & the guys really are GENTLEMEN!
Last Friday we(the Erasmus people) were going out in Geneva, and there was supposed to be an "Oktoberfest" in some bar, but the watchdogs there wouldn't let us get in...
After some rethinking, I talked to them in French and informed them, that our whole group was German(of course not exactly true, there were some Germans though) and we wanted to get inside, whereas the watchdogs said, it would be okay.
But then we didn't want to go in there, because the music was not good and everybody was pissed off at those watchdogs for not letting us in in the first place.
We then went to a cool and for Geneva very cheap bar, where the wife/companion of the owner was swiss-german :)))
It was great there, but at 2 in the morning, like every club/pub in town centre, it shut down, so we decided to go to E. & T.'s flat to chill out & then go home.
Of course we (M. & me) had a good time, buut this led to missing our last bus - GREAT, we were stuck in the middle of nowhere in Geneva town, where we couldn't exactly go home alone, cos it was dark & in the middle of the night.
So we asked E. & T. if we could crash on their couch for the night, and hello, they forced us to take the bed!! Very rarely have I met people in my life that were this nice, considerate & helping!
:)
This way I want to thank the Finnish Education & Family System that Finns are one of the best nationalities I've ever met abroad, and everybody everywhere just loves them!
And it's not just their hospitality, I really really like their approach towards human interaction... :)
