Unfortunately the "independence" part is what is breaking this country apart right now. We have such a huge number of immigrants from totally different cultures, and many (if not most) of them have a hard time grasping the collectivism at the same time as independence, and I can´t blame them since it is our politicians who has created this problem by not teach them about it as soon as they arrive. I have met many, many people from Northern Africa and even the middle-east that think healthcare, welfare, schools etc is just there, as if it magically just works. They have a hard time seeing the connection between taxes and all the things the taxes go to. Many of them have never had a real job so they have never paid taxes really. I also has been told by multiple somalians that in Somalia people think that when you go to Sweden you are going to get a home, a car, free food, free money and (seriously) a wife. The traffickers there is spreading these lies. Anyways, this is a problem that is getting bigger by the day and many are fed up already. It is going to become worse before it gets better,

My son moved from Sweden to California a few years ago. Same thing there, he was allowed to drive for a year on his Swedish license before having to get a California liicense.

About the coffee. I´ve worked with coffee for many years and it is true that Swedes drink more coffee than ALMOST any other country in the world. The fact is that there is one country that drinks even more, but just barely.. FINLAND! The statistics is based on how many cups a day average person drinks, and of course is the cup based on a set amount of beans. Finnish people drink 0,1 cup more on average. But if you hadn´t based the cups on the amount of beans but instead how much liquid, the Finnish people drink way more. Swedes like strong coffee, Finnish people weak. Now you know a totally useless fact. You are welcome! 😉

Facts of Life this man speaks.

Exactly spot on every single point, cos u lived there for a long while and i can totally related to as an expat

So Swedish government didn’t make recommendations. The independent public health authority did that. The pandemic was not about politics here, simply because we have a different system with independent departments that does their thing no matter whose In charge

Thanks, great video and good insights

I clicked on this video after watching one from three years ago and... you now speak English with a (slight) Swedish accent! Congratulations!

Geez, just open a jar of spaghetti sauce and dump that on your pasta. Ketchup is not that tasty. I wouldn’t do that.

Congratulations 👍🏾

In southern Sweden there's a similar thing. "Det reder sig!" Which sounds and is similar to "Þetta Reddast!" = "Things will work out". Might be because southern Sweden used to be part of Denmark for hundreds of years and you kinda had to have such an attitude when being in the periphery of Denmark and their good will.

You have got to try some kroppkakor with lingonberry jam 😊

Köp en mössa för fan! Och en bra LED ficklampa! ;-)

The thing is, Americans have been "sold" the American Dream, which essentially means stepping on the heads of those below in order to climb the ladder of success to MORE MONEY! Totally absent in most of the rest of the world and certainly in Scandinavia.

Klassiska misstaget med surströmming är ju att man lär öppna burken under rinnande vatten eller om man är väldigt orolig för lukten kan man rakt av öppna den under lite vatten.

Thanks for making this video, very interesting mindset for sure.

I'm convinced the Swedes and Nords are gas-lighting themselves into liking these giant croutons 😆

Jag har en stor buske med koriander. Jag smakade den som den var och det var väldigt intensivt. Men lite som smaksättning i asiatisk i mat är supergott!

Hej Stefan and Kim Grate episode. As you (Stefan) mentioned about coming to the same level in English speaking when conversing to people who don't have English as first languish works well for me too. I'm a native Swede, with quite good spoken English, and when I goo abroad or have visitors at work with less good speak or expression i doo the same and it feels like it comforts for everybody. You don't really have to show off att these moments. So really smart i think?

Id like to start a poll Is it a wig type 1 Is it a comb over type 2 Is it just a tribute to TRUMP type 3

Makes me happy that alot of people there speak English. That's good for my traveling.

Oh that's great you are still there. That is awesome.

Congrats man! I followed you when I was in America not knowing that I'd take a similar path in the Netherlands haha

Btw- Germans barely ever talk to strangers either!!

I’m Canadian and servers bring the machine to the table. Only time I’ve ever had fraud on my credit card is when I had a connection through an American airport and used my card at a restaurant. Server took the card to the back and two weeks later I had $6k worth of fraudulent charges on my card.

Congratulations!!

Great idea, but only 9 days? Seems like this would be much more beneficial if offered as a summer vacation for a couple of months. You can’t become fluent in a language in 9 days lol.

I think Sweden is in second place (global) after Finland in regards to coffee-drinking. :)

Grattis och välkommen!

huh lol

How do you define vegan? Unfortunately vegan food today is just trash.

Can I get my Swedish citizenship after completing my 4 years bachelor study and 1 year job experience? In total 5 years continues living in Sweden.

Agree. Swedish people need alcohol just to talk to each other. That and the icy cold weather.

I grew up in Sweden, I always wanted to leave because I always felt choked by the self righteous collectivism that doesnt allow for self expression if you stand out. I did the opposite journey that you did and moved to New England 11 years ago.

Wait! I thought en and ett are for A not THE

Thank you for the video. My relatives living there and I had a friend there, they are great people.

It’s good to know that!

Because we're not poor and deep in debt like many households are in a lot of other countries. There are many measurements of wealth. Swedish households are better off than most in this regard. However, neighboring Norway boosts a considerably higher GDP/capita. That being said, someone visiting both Norway and Sweden might not find the sheer material standard of living different in Norway compared to Sweden. Instead, Sweden might even seem richer.

If I ever move out of Finland I will move west to Sweden or Norway.

Your hair looks extremely similar to Conan O’Brien.

if your father was fully German you could've had German citizenship, and work like a regular European, but maybe I'm missing something lol, anyways loved this and congratulations 🎊

ohh Sweden such interesting culture

Us Swedish people get baptised in snow, beacuse we are vikings.

You wish !

maybe because we do not go bankrupt if we have to seek medical help!!

I've spent time in Denmark & visited Sweden. I enjoyed the chat. I would love to hear your perspective- in particular on cuisine, art, literature, film & social family/friend group culture.

When a country with 5% of the world population has 25% of the incarcerated population in the world, there must be something wrong. On top of that having far worse recidivism rates than any other country. Wonder which country I'm thinking of?

5:46 Don't leave your stuff unattended if you visit Sweden. We do steal. Just that in some areas we are less likely to.

To a Scandinavian the American pride in the flag and country seems weird and desperate. As we all know your country's history... (You chucked out the Brits and their tea. Then tried to wipe the entire First Nations off the map. To replace them with enslaved Africans. Recently Mexicans). These days South American refugees are held "At gunpoint". While the wall grows higher.... XXX💥XXX💀XXX

Regarding the taxes ; Nordic people think like farmers. You reap what you saw... And. Everybody eats... Wich is good.
