Jante is the typical Swede. Jante doesn't do anything that would make him stand out too much, be too "loud" or draw too much attention to himself. All should remember to be like Jante, because nobody wants to look like a fool!
Also, in Sweden, each time we see loud people waving their hands and take room all over the street, we usually guess that it's American turists. And in most cases we are usually right!![]()
But I did experience the loudness of an yankee (who is an opposite of a jante) once in a restaurant which I was visiting with an American. "It's rediculous!!" he said very loud when finding out that doggy bags are not common in Swedish restaurants!
Why waste the food?!?!
