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?

I’d say the Swiss, but the ‘catch’ is that you have a lot of surface level friends, and it takes a long time to kind of get invited into their circle. I think a lot of people yearn for the friendship of locals, but in Swiss society this takes a long time, if ever that it truly happens.
Funny you would say that. I am sitting here at the moment being annoyed on how loud my Swiss roommate is, speaking with her friends.
Report her to the police! It’s the only way she’ll learn!
I tried but I don’t speak French!
My experience in Switzerland was so different. All my Swiss friends are still close to me and we meet up at least once a year and talk once a week , even though I no longer live there. They range from Swiss German to Swiss Italian, no Swiss French!
