What all cities should strive for, with good affordable (maybe free in the future) public transport we can make cities better places to live while reducing our impact on the enviorment.

You are man? Or lady?

You are welcome to Sweden, even if Sweden is far from perfect, it´s still a good place to live.

As a Swede, thank you. Best of luck with your Swedish studies. Lycka till (good luck)!

Absolutely vålkommen :P Just dont expect the true Sweden, two failed abortions for politicians just ruined the country in any possible way, but still i think you'll find what you looking for compared to the american dream that turned into a nightmare. and freedom went way to far in so many ways.

It's not Sweden anymore but Swedistan.

@@yourealittlebitfat4344 With sadness inside: Amen.😓

There is more honesty I feel like in Sweden. In the US there's a lot more of the "fake it 'till you make it" attitude.

The Swedes

That is so Swedish. Jantelagen in practise. Competitiveness in Sweden is about quietly developing something and sharing the process so everybody learns & benefits. So they develop & 'teach' a competitive edge vs competitors as a collective without the same hardcore 'competition' evident in other countries. You would never say "I have this idea" or "I would do this". You would rather frame it as "I would like to suggest this for consideration.". And then they sit in silence whilst there is a kind of Ent-like circuitous conversation that allows everyone time to make suggestions or suggest refinements - not criticisms, but explore the merits & suggest solutions. If you criticise that is 'mobbning' (bullying) and you can lose your job over that. As someone who lived all my business career in a highly competitive dog-eat-dog environment where your goal is to be singled out for advancement, Swedish people really echo an ages old dependency on each other. I put this down to the weather, esp in the north of Sweden. In the long harsh dark winters back in time (and still today in villages dotted all over the place through the countryside) you survive only because you lean on & collaborate with each other. Living in the country in Sweden involves constant very physical labour (shovelling snow, DIY, fixing rooves & replacing old wooden boards to the houses, tending to animals, chopping wood, etc). The elderly & frail are automatically considered & cared for by their neighbours so that everyone in the community thrives together. This is absolutely reflected in their social welfare system and business practices.

Not yet. I wonder if that’s allowed!

@@StefanThyron Det ska de vara.

Bra video ! :) du måste göra halkbanan. Den ingår i risk 2:an 🙃

@@StefanThyron I've seen plenty of people record halkkörningen, it shouldn't be a problem. But of course, check with everyone involved first. 👍

Yes omg please do 🙏🏼

he seems very sweet

Yes, it's like believing George Orwell's novell "1984" was the origin of big brother fascism.

Criticize it, hmm. You don’t like it then.interesting

@@GeneRauXxX Almost no one "likes" jantelagen. It's usually used as a sarcasm for describing certain behaviours, much like it was in that novel by Sandemose that coined it.

@@herrbonk3635 ok, I got it. You don’t like it but you don’t want to change it either, right?

@@GeneRauXxX I would say it has already changed, quite a bit. (Sweden is also among the european countries with the largest differences in accumulated wealth between rich and poor, so pretty contrary to how it is usually portrayed.) Jante may perhaps still be more prominent here than in many other countries, but at the same time not in any way unique to Scandinavia either.

And regarding different licenses for manual and automatic is obviously for safety. As he said, he can drive stick but he´s not very good at it so that might be dangerous if something sudden occurs while driving. And knowing the weight limits for your car as well as the trailer is for safety as well as it tells you what the max limit is for your car and/or trailer to be able to behave properbly on the road. Safety is the name of the game here(slightly over the top sometimes though lol). I think there is like a zero accident tolerancy aim here which we´ll never reach but striving for it still reduces accidents.

Samma här, uppvuxen söder om Stockholm, många i min familj har inte körkort för vi är så vana att åka kollektivt. Flyttade till ett område där det var sämre förbindelser och blev typ "tvungen" att ta körkort när jag var 37. Är nu snart 44 år och känner mig super vuxen när jag kör runt i min bil 😂

It is a really good idea to see places OUTSIDE of Stockhol, it really is important to se MORE than just Södermalm and the central parts of Stockholm. Take the train to Gothenburgh, plot a daytrip to a smaller place. Ask around where to see different things. Dare to be "lost". Have a wonderful trip! ;-)

Yes the us system kinda force people to climb on each other in a not so healthy competition 🙁

Se use apps for that 😉😄

Hmm interesting point maybe it's the " middle-class thing" as you named it or maybe because he lives in the city centre and usually in the big cities centres (especially the capital) you would find government officials like perlimant members, presidents, Kings! and Queens!, foreign embassies, international companies..etc. Stefan always mentions in his videos that he likes big cities and centres so my guessing if he gets a little bit far from the centre he might notice something different. I don't live in Stockholm but noticed something similar here in Göteborg that as close as you get to the city centre everything starts to change (including people's dress style) . But all in all swedes are in good shape and they take care of their look ... so don't worry you're good 😉 and at the end of the day who cares what you are doing with your look "nowadays"

its because americans dress unbelievably badly

it applies to all of europe.

@@yousifbabiker1807 I live in a rural town in Sweden. Most rural towns here in Sweden don't bother about dressingcodes and what's fashionable or appropriate. Most of us are dressed down or cassual. If wer'e going to the cities, in particular Stockholm, we allways have to dress up. Dress up by countrysidestandards to meet the minimal dresscodes that is in Stockholm to be appropriate. In countryside: Dress in whatever clothes you want and relax about it. In Stockholm: Never dress down, only dress up.

The US is going through a "wear pajamas everywhere if it doesn't get you fired" phase.

The top team

I agree. Just book 2 - 3 sessions at nearest driving school to confirm that the way you're driving will be approved by Trafikverket when doing the test. Things like what RPM range you're shifting when going through gears counts too.

Not even Stockholm, more like Östermalm and Vasastan. But a lot of people on KZfaq seem to repeat the same stereotypes about Sweden.

@@DivanVisagie yes I have noticed that but I have even noticed that most of them are in Stockholm at least the ones I have seen that have been in Sweden and make an opinion from that. I could write a whole book about how different cities are in Sweden and how different people can be in Sweden but it's in fact a long country so we have different climates, mentalities, styles and of course dialects

Barberian Hornstull with Irfan

@@StefanThyron Thanks!

🤣 That's so typical! Or the "should we share the last one?" pact with another speculant at the table because it would be so egotistical to take the last one without considering the others wishes. You certainly don't want to be viewed as that inconsiderate, callous prick! Someone might have been eying that remaining piece in silence but staved of their hunger out of politeness. So you better do the rounds and ask everyone if they're satisfied or would like to share the last one. But i guess it's kind of romantic in a sense. ☺

Unfortunately, you are just describing women in general, not specifically Swedish women.
