Well not me but my wife is going on a Scandanavian tour + Finland from Korea next week. Is there anything she should know about before going. I’ve been to Europe myself a few times but not the northern part and I’m just worried bout her even though it is relatively safe up there.
That said, anything she should know good or bad? local customs? warnings? tourist traps?

jtd46t0I disagree with that Sweden has a no tipping culture. Sure, waiters do have a livable wage and unions that up the lowest standard. You’d never be expected to tip at a café or a fast-food place, but you’re certainly expected to tip if you’re going to a more proper restaurant. Not giving a tip at all in a place like that would mean that you’re implying they gave you bad service. You’ll however never be expected to leave the tip in cash. When they expect a tip you’ll be able to enter “the total amount to pay” when you’re paying with card, i.e. the amount you owe for food and the amount you want to tip on top of that

jtd7w76Yeah, my mom was a waitress when I was a kid (‘80s and early ‘90s) and she instilled in me that at a sit down restaurant ~10% tip is customary unless the service is really bad. But I’ve noticed that a lot of people around my age and younger don’t tip at all or are very unsure about whether to tip or not.
