I don't know who took this photo but it's a good one. Look how separate from each other are the standing the people in the bus stop. It shows how Finns respect personal space. And I have to add I don't think it's much of a stereo type. I have seen it many times during autumn. Once in a rainy day in October I was waiting for a bus inside the stop. It rained like hell. Then a Finnish girl came to the stop but she didn't come under the roof beside me, she waited outside under the rain! It took about 15 minutes until she decided to my personal space and get under the roof and only when she was all wet!
Good for them, and good for you to have your personal space...that's exactly what I need!
