There is a nice saying in Sweden that you hear even as a child: "Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder." "There is no bad weather, only bad clothes." (In Swedish, it's a rhyme that gets lost when you translate it)
hygge is real. a nice, cosy home helps. the germans have a saying "eng ist gemütlich", small homes are cosy. you don't need a 300 square meter home to be happy. you are more happy in a small home you easily can afford, than in a large home that you only just can afford. so, even though most scandinavians have relatively large homes, they tend to have one that they can afford.
I agree on these things but it is always good to show your own culture so we can make a better life together. Yes Sweden and Scandinavia is a good place to live but we can work on having a better society and life and there are good things with every culture (and bad things also but I want to focus on the better things)
Yes- I do keep my own culture - and i sometimes compare. This channel is about my experiences in Sweden as an 'invandrare'. So it wouldnt make any sense me talking about my culture, right ? 😉
You're on your way to start thinking like a "Buddhist", for me it was the feel, "I need to feel good, to help others", and it has ended up to marry a Thai, after 15 yrs together and a daughter. By the way i was born in Finland and growing up in Sweden but found peace in Buddhist thinking, I've never accepted protestant or catholic church and their thinking, I'm me! Not them, I've never accepted a man standing in the church and pointing his finger towards me and saying "I" has to follow the "Ten commandments", that's not me...
but most swedes are vackert väder figurer meaning after a week of gloomy weather they all come out at the same time -there are few that ignores weather -other healthy and thin figures and the fatter ones waits for the sun - The sporty are early - pensioners at about kl 11.00 - the ones that has some addiction after 12 or 13 , women with preschool children 13-14 - many swedes just need warmt and if its ice cold at 20.00 -not one swede adult can be found in the local ICA just teenagers needing the warmt or buying candy- Swede are wek in the middle or south sweden unlike above the middle sweden
Yea.. Sweden isnt an Utopia.. its nothing but! But all the scanidinavian countrys/included Finnland and Iceland are rich/equal/low coruption/high trust/ countrys! But with a terrible climate.. mayby that made us more equal.. and rich?? And with all that terrible climate.. its comes more to practicality.. it dosent matter that much wich brands.. if one is freesing! Long Johns is recomended at coldest time! Soo talking about swedish stereotypes.. and it is VVV, Villa=own your own house, Volvo=have a premium car, Vovve= its a dog but can be changed for a cat=a household pet! And have children is unspoken.. but thats the aim of all of it! And swedish couples tend to get marriged when there children get teenagers.. its altso a practical thing!
I came across an article today whixh mentioned that Sweden was poor before and it manage to become rich because it didnt participate in the second world war. So it was easy for them to pick up and start exporting to other countries.
@@SwedenwithRobiTrue, we also had a huge wave of migration from Sweden in the 1800 esp from 1850-1930 from Sweden primarily to America roughly 1/3 of the population emigrated due to food shortages. One million of which emigrated to the US. Ed my grandmother’s adopted brother was one of those.
Yes… of course I wasn’t born here so there are plenty of things I find weird- which is normal. And I have a video about it th-cam.com/video/k0w6nBF5J1Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BgrZHj3BfWuHMJks, highlighting some…check it out and let me know what you think :)

Very nice and positive view on things that might be taken for granted, in a time where many are focused on looking for negative things to point out.
Thank you 🙏🏾

You seems to like to living here and i hope you really do. But there must be some things that you don't like about Sweden?
