Describe:

Since I arrived in Kokkola, I met lot of Finnish. We spoke sometimes more than two hours, we laugh, we shared some experiences and spoke about the differences in our cultures. I though in myself, these people were nice, next time I will speak with them. Then, there are two different situations. First situation, these people pass in front of you and just say a little “Hi” and leave. Or second situation, they pass in front of you as if they don’t know you.

Interpret:

I think that there are two possibilities, Finnish people are shy and don’t speak too much with people they don’t know or because I am foreigner they don’t dare to come to speak.

Evaluate:

For me it’s so weird because in France, even if you don’t people yet, if you speak for two hours and share with them, when you meet them again you go to speak with. Some Finnish people come to speak each time we meet and some of them don’t come so it is not easy to evaluate why.
