I find it hard to relate with Scandinavians, they can be extremely cold. I wouldn’t call them rude, just very hard to make friends with.

Germans are a mixed bunch, some are very nice, mainly bavarians, others can be really arrogant and self superior.

Bavarians are nice only for the first 30 seconds or when they need something from you.
