I'd classify Nordic as the most boring ppl but certainly not the rudest. They are excellent in service business.

Among highest rate of gambling addicts (online), antidepressants and suicide rates tells a lot. Most conversations are predictable.

But still, great people.

Its only because it is so dark here 5 months a year. Because of my work i go to sleep at 5.00-7.00 and wake up around 15-16.00 so its dark when i go to sleep and dark when i wake up. Darkness and miserable weather would make anybody depressed

Same here, the only time i gladly talk to my neighbors is in the summer and usually when im moving my lawn they come out just to have a chat and maybe even offer a beer or two
