Hi Mike. I really enjoyed this video. Ronneby looks like a very beautiful town. I could happily see myself living in a place like that. Small town, lots of parks, low population. A castle or ruin to explore in, some restaurants & a pub. I think that I have just described my version of Nirvana... The opposite to that for me would be to live in a mega city. 🥴 Keep up the good work. 🍻
I like your videos, they have some depth., which is nice. I once told one of my Chinese friends that I'd be interested in seeing the rural areas in China, more so than big cities. She said: "You don't want to see that. It's like the middle ages". Actually, you have to go to the countryside if you want to see how people really live in the country.
It's easy to forget how "good" Sweden really is when you live here. Even though we too have problems to deal with it's still pretty good, isn't it. I'm happy that you sort of high light this fact in this video and others. Things could be way worse.
Thanks for showing us around a very all beauty town, good that you also appreciate some of it known historical past events make it more mystical, definitely it's very lifestyle choice to live here in quiet places ☺️ compared to SH urban districts. But will you miss it in long term.... 😆😆
It's true that small towns (in many parts of the world btw) have their own charms. But there's no advantage without a disadvantage. That's why many (young) people move from small towns to big cities but also the other way around, it just depends on what your looking for.
I lived in the New York/New Jersey area. The people were nice and the food was amazing, but I could not stand the environment. I know in the United States smaller cities are becoming popular locations to move to. The housing is much more affordable, the towns tend to have a nice atmosphere, and with lots of remote working opportunities it is easier to make good money in a rural area.
The country wins if the whole country and it´s citizens may live. The countryside most often contribute to the country with having mines, lumber and by growing food and cattle breeding. As living in the northern part of Sweden there is some problems with transportation to schools and work, long distances and not so many jobs. The education may also lack compared to bigger towns though to poorer countys. But of course it´s way much better than in rural chinese areas. It´s interesting to visit big towns with a lot of museums and so on, looking at the hustle and the bustle (have visited Beijing, Chongqing and Guangzhou in China and Bógota in Colombia) but my place on earth is my little village with ten households/28 inhabitants here in Västerbotten! Welcome to the north!
In China, everyone wants to be in the big cities, and the only people who live in smaller communities or in the countryside, are people who don't have the financial resources to live in a big city. In America, it's almost the opposite: people who don't have any financial resources move to the big cities looking for work; and if they become financially successful, they or their children will move out of the big cities into the suburbs, and the people who are financially successful in the suburbs, move further out to smaller communities, or buy some nice land out in the countryside where they can build their dream house, a big place with a nice long driveway, trees, maybe a small creek, a private pond for recreational boating and fishing, and lots of space for tennis courts or horses or golf or whatever. (Rich people have expensive hobbies.) Europe is somewhat more balanced, I think, with not as much of a wealth gap between the big cities, the smaller communities, and the countryside.
It probably started during the medieval times were spices and goods were imported via arab traders. The first Chinese person living in Sweden was the Cantonese trader Afock Who arrived in 1786 and stayed for a few years. Several Swedish companies were also active in China during the late 1800 and 1900-century. I also think that Sweden was one of the first countries to recognize the people's republic as the legitimate government of China.
We often think of China and Sweden as being far away from each other, but they actually had an immediate neighbor in common (Russia) by the late seventeenth century. Of course, China and Sweden also had direct maritime contact, as Sweden was one of the two dozen or so European nations that routinely sent trade fleets to the far east, starting in the seventeenth century. However, the Manchurian empire that ruled China at that time was not keen on officially dealing with other nations on an equal basis (they wanted to just accept tribute from vassal states, and the European powers were both too distant and also too powerful to need to relate to them in that way), so formal diplomatic relations were probably not established until the nineteenth or possibly even the twentieth century, though I don't know those details concerning Sweden in particular.
wow, that is beautiful! Makes me and probably everyone else want to see the countryside!! It reminds me a little bit of new england. Wait to til you travel through small new england towns not too far from boston. What denomination is the church? What are the problems that Sweden has to deal with? How diverse is the population say, for instance, in your small town? And how far are you from Stockholm?
Practically all churches in Sweden are protestant. A lot of Swedes (34.8%) aren't religious at all, as with Norse people in general. And many more are only culturally religious for weddings and funerals. The churches just stick around like a benign cancer with a pretty exterior at this point, and I hope that direction of religion's withering or active rejection continues.
Just found your reactions about the country of Sweden - All that I have seen so far are great and soo interesting!!!

Actually, the rural part of China is the best, they dont understand it
Are their difference as 'rural' as to 'remote' region(automonous region)

Love this video. My Grandfather and Grandmother from my mother side did live there. I could recomend you to travel up to Växjö and jönköping/huskvara
Never have been to Sweden before it is now on my list :).

will miss in long term for sure, its humanity

Small towns in America are the most cushy and comfortable places I have ever been to( Granted I have only went to US)
Yo, whats up buddy

Nordic countries are great. just wanna reminder people dont forget it's great🙂

I would love to see the timeline compared between Sweden and China and see what kind of cultural exchange in history actually existed.
big homework😃
