wow, that's the complete opposite of what I've noticed so far in Sweden and what it was like in my home country. I'm the kind of person that smiles at strangers and says ''good morning''. I guess in Finland people wouldn't like that. In Bulgaria, old ladies lke it when I wish them a good day. These are things travel site simply cannot tell you about. Thanks.

Well it's not 100% true, but Finland and Sweden are somewhat different about this. It is a common joke in Finland, that if someone smiles in the streets, the one smiling is either drunk, crazy or a foreigner.
Finland is not that bad, actually, at least not with the current generation. I once smiled to an older woman (60+) and she stopped and asked "Do we know each other?"
We didn't, but I was surprised by the idea that you can't smile to someone unless you know them.
