    It’s funny being an American in Scandinavia wearing Haglofs, Fjallraven, and Mascot. Everyone is confused as shit when I greet them in their language but then immediately pivot to English.

      In Spain, in museums or coastal towns I can have entire conversations with someone such that I’m speaking Spanish and they speak English. They just don’t register that I’m speaking Spanish. In other places they don’t speak English so there are no issues.
