The swedish stereotype :)
Hello everyone! I'll make a brief explanation here, to explain the topic before I switch to Chinese. So basically I wanted to paint you guys a picture of the swedish stereotype, because I'm in fact a tall, blue-eyed, swedish guy :)
I also want to include my brief experiences from China and my chinese friends in Sweden.
First off I want to tell you about my trip to China. I'm a bit fascinated by China and the culture and all the cute people I met there.
When I was at the first dinner with my language partner and her friends, they ordered a lot of dishes (in chinese fashion?).
I was aiming to be as polite as I could, as to not offend the customs and make a fool of myself.
As the dinner goes on, you could pick freely from the dishes, my kuaizi-skills are actually pretty OK so this was fine. BUT- I started moving the dishes closer to not drop anything, then I felt something was wrong..; "瑞。。don't move them! " ;((
For a swedish person, or me at least this made no sense at all, because normally we move the food, to not flail with our arms in eachothers faces.
Anyway, that moment stuck with me, cause I find the culture difference very interesting!
Now, to the essay!
普通瑞典人
典型的瑞典人比较高,眼睛是蓝色的。他们有点害羞,虽然很客气,但是在地铁里不常常与别人聊天儿。大概是因为瑞典的冬天很长,很冷,而且很暗,所以瑞典人夏天的时候总会更高兴些,每天都出去玩儿,与朋友们见面。
那,中国人呢?
我只去过中国一次,我认识的中国人不太多. 我觉得大部分的中国女孩儿,喜欢所有可爱的东西,比如小猫,小狗。 我在中国的时候,我觉得我的新朋友们很客气,很大方.
我有一些中国朋友们在瑞典,他们很不喜欢瑞典的食物。中国菜对他们很重要.虽然瑞典食物和中国食物我都喜欢,但是我觉得中国食物比瑞典食物还好吃.
谢谢你们!
P.S. Please add comments if you agree/disagree, I find it very interesting!
/ 瑞瑞你的中文很好啊,不知道可以改些什么。
I heared that swedish people like drinking beer,always like get up early and like cook, too. Is that true?
And how long is your winter?
I China, if we think someone is a important guest,we will treat them to a lot of dishes. Your friends must think you are important to them. And moving the dishes closer is a really impolite behavour.
