Some cultures are very gregarious and lively. They like loud music, speak to each other loudly, etc.

Which cultures have you found to be more reserved? Not necessarily cold or rude, just not as loud in public?

    Pacific Northwest (USA)

    Huh, I’m American and did not know that. Have lived in Sweden since last year and LOVE the quiet, withdrawn culture - to me, it’s so different from everywhere I’ve ever lived in the US. No loud blah, blah yammering on public transit, people don’t think you’re weird for not talking, etc. If I end up back in the States I might have to consider the Pacific NW.
