Like any country, it heavily depends where exactly you go and with which people you surround yourself with. Of course there are certain trends, but I've traveled a lot, and overall the differences are pretty minor (compared to other "developed"/rich countries). Like everywhere, the metropolitan centres are super diverse and very forward, if you go rural you more often get closedmindedness and nationalism. If you go suburb, you get suburban culture.
I think the "certain trends" are mostly positive, like order, properness and following rules. You get some backward things like lots of paperwork, power hierarchies, but also forward things like proper courts and strong unions.
Globalization really blurred the lines, socially, a lot.
