The Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe.And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character.They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances,their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most intellectually progressive people in the world.They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions.And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows,handshakes,and greetings.When a visitor enters a Swedish home,he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves,his host will tell him "You will be welcome again".These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment.A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden:telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways.And in church,for example,long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing.Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.
