    Never been to Scandinavia have you? Those are low contact cultures with large personal spaces. Most Scandis would never let a stranger hold their hand.

      Estonian not Scandinavian here, but we were hella mad when we had to social distance at 2 meters. What a huge relief it was to go back to the usual 5 meters when those rules went away.

      Yeah, more Spain/Italy, maybe Switzerland and France too. Austria; less likely. Germany and upwards; nope.

        Switzerland? In the French or Italien speaking parts maybe. The German speaking part is more like Germany with less bureaucracy.

          No, we are a bit more, um, easygoing? forgiving? What with Ticino in the country and compromise being a core tenet. And there are far more foreign students/workers and tourists here. Ok, you can include Austria too.
