One small note about the vegetarian thing: it's very much a city/student trend. More rural places still cherish the "traditional" swedish diet which is very meat- and dairy heavy.

I've been living in Sweden for 3 weeks now, and so far I love it! Swedish are so gentle, they are kind without expecting anything in return.

Your dry humour is brilliant! Love your videos.

When I moved to Sweden it took me 2 MONTHS to be able to have a Bank ID and Swish and a bank account to receive my salary. (Even though i got hired by a big tech company here) I was mind-blown of how slow it was.

Another great video! Usually when you get a list of things people like about a country, it's very generic and has a more broad appeal. This felt very personal and unique, but also showed off a lot of things to like you wouldn't think about right away. Also, right there with you on waiting for Japan to open up to live there!

Its true that living in an apartment in Sweden makes you more isolated than anything. The apartments are also very well insolated.

I really enjoyed listening to what you like about Sweden. Someone else has mentioned how other lists are generic and have more "broad appeal" and I'd agree with them. I've seen so many people romanticize the country, and while I'm sure I'd do the same if I were to move there (hell, even when I visit I'm sure), being able to hear a different side, even if they are small things, is a nice change. It allowed me to hear more about what's common there, things I had yet to even hear from anyone who has made lists or a multitude of videos of the country. Anyways, I'm excited all the same to visit Sweden as soon as I can.

i spent last winter in Sweden up north in Boden, really loved it, the nature and so much snow, I loved watching all the tractors clear the snow, fika is such a good thing to have, its like Tea in UK but more structured, and seeing that princess cake omg made my mouth water!! and yes the flats(apartments) are always warm, its strange not being able to control your own heat, but in the winter there it just needs one temperature dam well HOT!

Thanks for sharing. I am moving to Stockholm in one month and your channel is very-very interesting.

Yes, about the swish there is an equivalent here too in the Philippines. It's called G-cash, so as long as you have the phone number you can send money to anyone with the app.

I've been vegetarian since I was 15, I'm 23 now. In the beginning, here in Portugal, where I live, it was difficult to find really good products for vegetarians. About 5 years ago a greater variety of products started to appear, but it can still improve. Here where I live meat is still a very predominant culture and is found in many dishes. But Sweden is another level in vegetarian food. :D

“But it’s a nice gesture.” Such a gushing compliment, ABBA. I watched the other KZfaq video of you complaining about Swedes. So it was fun to see the positive side of you. My grandparents were all born in Sweden and came to Canada to farm. You are a lovely young man. It was fun way to learn about your life and thoughts about Sweden. All the best.

Nice video thank you. It sounds like Sweden compensates for the terrible weather. There's something to be said for that. I live in Florida. Probably some of the most beautiful weather in the world as long as there's no hurricane. I have a slightly larger than average apartment. But there is no sound separation. And it's expensive. And there's no safety net for us regarding either healthcare or housing. I'm not sure I would be welcome in Sweden. Even if I were, I might be so Americanized that I couldn't fit in. But your story gave me a moment to imagine what it might be like.

I hope your really successful in the future you make great vids, congrats on how far you’ve come already

Your videos bring me so much joy

I am an American now living in Portugal and I had the good fortune to visit Sweden in the summer about four years ago. it was a gorgeous weekend every day it was beautiful and I took the boat around Stockholm and I stopped at the Abba Museum which was a hoot and a half I loved it Loved walking around in Stockholm and boating everywhere, I think I also visited the castle and had really delicious Swedish food at a hotel I was staying at. I have come true Swede-O ~Phile and when I get my Portuguese citizenship would I be able to move there or are you not in the Schengen zone? But you forgot one of the best things about Sweden are the Swedish people!

i'm living in Norway, Trondheim now. and unfortunately its different. after 6 months i'm really thinking about going back home and then to chose another destination.. it's pretty nature here but the cost you pay for that (i don't mean only money) is overwhelming

😂 you’re HILARIOUS as well as informative. Don’t know how I got here at 4am but I’m not mad P.S. I do know… these iPhones be listening to all our convos

One small note about Sweden’s low winter temperatures: Where I live (Skåne) it rarely gets lower than -3 during winter and rarely any snow. Would be cool to see polar bears but I don’t think they would like it down here :) I come from the Balkans which is 3-4 hours by car close to Greece and it gets -20 during winter! So no, not the entire of Sweden is fricking cold. Sweden is a big country by size :)

Sweden has impressive culture and nature. At the same time, everything sounds very practical, and very organized. For me, personally, a little too much

7:25 - at least it's properly labeled; in some stores, I have to harrass the store clerk to tell me the price of an item I may or may not buy - but that's on them for not having properly labeled the prices of their products, so it's their nerves (it's also inconvenient for me since I need to bring said item(s) to the check-out to go through this demistification process) - however, I fear that I may relish too much in this price interrogation and become a sadist.

You start your list with bureaucracy and administration and I'm over here nodding my head like mmm yes thats the good shit, please talk about standing in line next time 😄 Great video!

I would say the only places in sweden that only take cash are some pizzerias and small restaurants, either because card readers are too expensive for them, or they launder money

Useful content! 👍👌 Well appreciated !!

4:56 okay, real question: you mentioned apartments are big, but from my experience, the apartments are tinyyyyy! Is there a specific neighborhood/district where apartments are big?

Looking forward to my visit in April 2023. Will it still be cold and dark? Trying to mentally prepare myself for the weather. Just going to go half way round the world for the candy shops and fika. Actually, it’s my graduation gift.

I’m still in love with Japan, but I found for me “little Japan” in Sweden. Need to watch your videos about Japan.

6:05 are you saying you're a fika fan or are you saying "Fika, (för) fan!" ? Pretty much the same thing, though

I am Foghorn and I approve the message in the background of this video. Sometimes I feel like I am a Swedish person born in the wrong country.

I love Sweden and I am from Brazil. I am kind of boring and a perfect match here, in Brazil I was just a nerd. 😂

This made me feel another level of anxiety, how could I ever move abroad knowing there won't be any MobiltBankID!?

vincent van bob unfortunately passed away yesterday. he would've loved this video. x

Ur phone cover? From where

I love that you swear like a trooper - lol It’s very like us Australians

Help hahahah I'm still not used to your humor. 🤣 Please tell me this isn't the Swedish humor haha I'm screwed if it is! I can't tell when he's joking or serious. 😵

I was surprised to hear that Sweden is vegan friendly! I would have thought that in a colder region it would be difficult and/or very expensive live plant-based. Shows how much I know! It's very difficult here in the southern part of the United States. It shouldn't be but it is.

What neighborhood did you live in that was 5 minutes from that forrest trail?

Hey when your neighbors are having loud sx..... can you type up a transcript of what you hear and make it available without naming names of course. Thanks in advance.

“It is nice to always grab a jävla bulle liksom” is my favorite line. 👍🏼

You made my day, and I had a good one. Big thanks and love from the PNW! Do you guys have psychedelic mushrooms?

I might only be 20 years old but i have never actually used an atm, and the in the last half year i think I’ve only whipped out my card a dozen times, I’m always just either using Apple Pay or Swish

yes

"Grab a jävla bulle" ah- yes ☆WORDS☆

Looks nice there! Must have coffee and candy!

I used to think I’d be happy to never leave my home town. Now I’m pretty sure I’ll implode if I don’t end up moving to Sweden

Is it true that people in Sweden often die of boredom ? And how did you avoid this fate ?

Your English is excellent. One suggestion: “Insulated,” not “isolated,” when talking about weather-proofing an apartment.

Hoppas du kan dra snart 👍🏻

Cashless may be convenient, but you lose complete control.

you are lifesaver :)

This is unnecessarily funny

And we are beautifull too

''it's always nice to have a reason the grab a fucking bulle liksom'' is the realest shit I've heard för fan +1 sub 🍆

The way you said "Krona" was perfect👌

For me I love Sweden very much the law the weather all….

Is better than Netherlands ?

6:05 Couldn't have said it better myself

Here I am, want to settle in Sweden forever

What are your thoughts toward the immigrants who venture into your favourite forest.

How is a cashless society a plus? Convenience always has a nasty catch.

I've got to ask, are you Swedish or English? Its hard to tell because that English accent and blonde hair are a bit of a perplexity🙂

Like it

Try living in Ireland I hate it here and I'm Irish. I'm 33 not going anywhere with my life. I can't move out and I'm single. Nothings changed since 2014.

Why Japan though

I couldn't live there with no sun for half a year I think I would go insane lol

Well the vegan side was indeed one of my main points of attraction, one well the point? i guess? Thank you for making this!! Thanks convertibles in some channel success maybe? how does this work, should i double comment? not sure, hélas i ain't nerdy at all, but still, tak! 💮

Bruh That Turtle neck was SEXY!!!

pretty good camera angle, tho.

I'd probably go back being a vegan after watching this video. I really enjoy watching your videos hehe.

hi new subscribers ❤

I've been living in Gothenburg for almost an year...and I can tell all the statements are true. Even the masturbation stuff...

Lol I enjoy my experience there though I am from Japan ;)

Åh fan, mobilt bank-ID!

You seem like a very nice person

I'm Irish. I don't think I could handle all the rules there. Everything is either black or white, but we Irish live in the grey.

Ja, jag vill leva ja vill dö i norden!

I will swap places with you. In the UK and hate it.

You look like extremely sophisticated, sarcastic and posh version of Draco Malfoy. :]

Ripe for the digital social credit system.

I'm pretty sure this is "10 things I hate about living in Sweden-Version 2.0" 🤣. Damn this is a boooooring list! Still love ya videos though! Cheers!

I hope everyone get that the joke about the swish app 😀

there are polar bears wow that sound so scary

You are nothing in Sweden without BankID 😅.

It is amazing that you can pronounce words like a Swede with a Swedish accent. With your blondish looks I thought for a second that you were Swedish 😊not many English people can do that.

Good luck buying anything in Sweden when the power goes off. That will be the day when people wish they would not have given up cash so easily...

Ok, I'm gonna sound like a dick and word nazi now, but as a fellow Swede I also made this mistake and thought I would just make you aware: isolation = att vara ensam, separerad. insulation = hur mycket värme ett material släpper igenom t.ex. ett hus isolering

1/2 Swedish. Great list. Very different to mine though. I think Swedish apartments are "big" only compared to London or Japan. I Belgium even Brussels the apartments are unique, VERY spacious, high ceilings and same or cheaper price than even Uppsala

😂😂😂

It's very easy to be vegan in Stockholm* :c

Lived 1.5 years in Sweden - the most boring and senseless years of my life. Happily moved to Japan 2 weeks ago. Dont go to North guys.

Snus...what is about that Snus "thing" ;-)

lösvikts godis costs more than good proper food in Sweden, eat more of it, Swedish dentist would like that !

Boring is not bad.

"Speaking of apartments...I like them." What a coincidence! I like shelter, too. "Ok, I just had a huge dump." Congratulations.

Japan? And you thought Swedes were distant and/or socially awkward...

This is great but you stole my idea for a vlog about perks of living in Sweden -___- hijacked my brain u did

#1984 #georgeorwell #swish

May I remind you 1 very important aspect of Sweden you did not mention about? It is the fact that your country is the only one in the world to have a FEMINIST GOVERNMENT!!!

Deap stat =sweden

3:53 ok bold of you to assume mobile bank ID thing isn't extremely arousing to the average person. skipping endless bureaucracy? damn
