  你印象最深的文化冲击是什么?

  获得516好评的答案@Balraj Rathod

  In summer of 2015, I was in Helsinki, Finland for an internship. Although, I had read that Finnish people are reserved and like tostay within their space, I had not expected it to be this:

  2015年夏天,我在芬兰首都赫尔辛基实习。虽然我之前听说过芬兰人比较冷淡而且不喜欢别人闯入自己的空间,但是我没想到会是这样:

  At a bus stop: You are alone in the shade of the stop and that is your space. No one will come to bother you.

  在公交车站:你一个人站在站牌阴影下,而这就是你的空间,没人会来打扰你。

  

  Inside a bus: You enter a bus and see that all the window seats are occupied. You don't have a seat and have to stand. Respect that space! (This is rather extreme, but you definitely get anxious as to where should you sit.)

  在公交车内:你上了一辆公交车,然后看到所有靠窗的位子都有人了。虽然旁边还有位子,但是你就没位子了,必须得站着。因为要尊重个人空间!(这很极端,但说到坐哪里,你一定会感到很焦虑。)

  

  You are scared to shout to the driver to stop the bus: I was running to catch the bus and signaled the driver by my hands to stop the bus. I entered the bus and saw all eyes were turned to me. I have never felt so guilty of anything.

  你不敢朝司机大喊让他停车:我跑过去拦公交车还挥手示意司机停车,当我上车之后看到所有人都转过来看着我。我从来没有这么内疚过。

  

 

  I caught my Finnish neighbor sneaking into his room and pretending that he didn't see me in the hallway:

  我当场看到我的芬兰邻居偷偷进他自己的房间还假装没在玄关看到我:
