Have you been to either of these countries you've mentioned, are you speaking from personal experience?

The social life in Sweden, Norway and Denmark is quite good I must say.

Yes i have. But you did not.

Do you know that the sentence i made previously: "Do you know when you walk the streets in Switzerland and say good day to somebody they look at you like you killed their family. “was said by Albanian in Switzerland. It was on French doq about social life in Europe.

We have different personal experiences then.

Something I have found (admittedly not through experience but through hearing the stories of relatives) is that generally, the richer the population, the less naturally friendly people are.

In New Zealand, most of the moderately wealthy people are friendly to friends, but don't actively go out of their way to be friendly. The rich people living in rich suburbs are often thinking the world revolves around them, and generally aren't very friendly to strangers.

If you visit the poorer areas, or the rural areas (farmers are sort of an exception, as they can be quite wealthy) people are very friendly to strangers and tourists. They go out of their way to help them, invite them into their house for dinner etc.

And it seems to be the case in places like Europe. In areas affected by war like the Balkans, people are often very nice and welcoming, taking people who they met that day out at nights. But if I traveled to wealthier countries, I would usually have to pay for everything like normal.
