Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

jtdnfhdAlso, let people get off the metro/tram/train/elevator etc before you try to get on. And when you let people get off, step away so you stand to the side of the doors. Don’t just stand right in front of them.
And on escalators you stand still on the right and walk on the left. And you don’t stand two people beside each other, even if you’re a couple or whatever. You never stand still on the left (assuming the escalator isn’t empty).
And when you go through the ticket gate in the subway for example, don’t stop immediately after you’re through to figure out where you are going. Take a few more steps so people behind you can get past. And have the ticket readily available before you step up to the gate; don’t go up to it and then start looking for your ticket, causing an unnecessary line behind you.
This is all unfortunately something that even many locals need to be reminded of every day.

jtec7rmMy experience from travelling in Korea is that people over there have great public transport etiquette:)

jtdvlvkI think south Koreans are waaay better at this stuff than Scandinavians, I’ve never felt crowded or uncomfortable even in the rush hours when I’ve been in South Korea or Japan. In a bus in Norway or Sweden, however, it can become completely chaotic by comparison (even though us Nordics are quite well organised people). But yes, it’s a good point, especially if we’re talking spanish, german or american tourists
