As a native I must say that I'm very impressed with the research you did about our local culture, you really tried a lot of authentic swedish stuff instead of only doing typical tourist activities. Looks like you got a great impression/idea of what Sweden is about!

[robbybobbijoe]

I'm impressed on the amount of Swedish terminology you've researched! You really go all out on these kinds of videos, researching the country without stereotyping too much. You seem like a really humble dude! :D

[brickan]

You are so considerate with a low tone of voice, respectful of other people in your surrounding. I see ppl filming and thinking they own the place all the time.... You edit well and make it nice to watch. Swedish and Japanese courtesy are so alike :) You have a new subscriber :) Thanks for visiting Sweden!

[klankungen]

I belive this is the most well read tourist youtube video of Stockholm. So simple but elegant. I love it! Intrested to see other cities after knowing how genuine this video is.

I have never seen anyone eat rödbetssallad with such passion! Enjoy it on a sandwich with meatballs on it. Thats a holy duo of delish everyone needs in their life.

[floydcarlsson]

Finally someone actually getting a real Swedish experience! Love that you actually sat down at a real cafe and enjoyed your kanelbulle. Much love!❤

[tommysellering]

That was the first time I have ever seen
1. A slice lemon on top of a Kanelbulle.
2. A person using a knife and fork for eating fika, or a "bulle" of any kind.

[brennabug]

What a lovely video. You are such a wonderful and warm person. Please come back to Sweden anytime!

[SakuGrönlund]

The bottle cap is like that because apparently the EU parliament thought that plastic bottle caps are a problem so severe they need to remain attached to the bottle. Nobody likes this design. You can bend it enough so it stays at a 180 degree angle, but it's hardly convenient. You can rip it off though with moderate force.

I have never seen your channel before, I was surprised that you got me to watch the whole video. Really good coverage of my country. 👏🙌

[robertberg]

How can you speak so fantastic english, and the pronounciation of Gullmarsplan was spot on. Impressive!!!

[Revament]

Great to see the perspective of Sweden from a Japanese person and also you made the video so much better with your humor!

[fmdf]

Omg, I believe I just found my favorite YouTuber!! As someone living in Sweden, I love how you learned and embraced the local culture and show much humility. Lagom is something I truly value and access to water is what first lured me to Stockholm. Also love how you appreciate the food here, coming from a country with one of the best cuisines in the world.
Also enjoyed the subtle humor, especially 7-eleven.

As someone who also live in Japan, i see there are shared cultural values with Sweden: humility, politeness and minimalist yet aesthetic. You are a good example of this

[kennchri]

George, this was such an enjoyable video to watch! 🌟 Your excitement and curiosity during your first visit to Stockholm really shined through. I loved how you connected so many elements of Swedish culture with your own experiences and knowledge — like the fun fact about Kiki's Delivery Service being inspired by Stockholm and Visby! The way you explored the city, from trying moose meatballs to visiting historic sites like Gamla Stan and the Vasa Museum, really brought the charm of Stockholm to life.

Your comparisons between Sweden and Japan, especially when it comes to things like work-life balance and eco-friendliness, were so great. And it was fun to see your reactions to little things like the pronunciation of IKEA or discovering "Kungsträdgården" sounds like "kindergarten" in English 😁

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's always interesting to see a new perspective on a place, and your positive energy and enthusiasm made this video a real treat. Can't wait to see where your travel to Oslo takes you! 😊✈

[MrMacavity]

I'm glad you had a nice visit here in Sweden, you're always welcome back 👍😀

[hexc]

I've heard many Japanese people pronounce Swedish words and they sound really good, and i have heard many Swedish people pronounce Japanese words and the Japanese people thought it sounded great.

Our languages are no where near identical but maybe we have an easier time with it?

[stefanhakola]

So cool that you mentioned the fact that the inspiration for "Kikis delivery service" was taken from Mr Hayao Miyazakis travels in Scandinavia, in perticular Stockholm and Visby. When I first saw this movie I was not aware of this but something caught my attention and I rewinded it over and over and saw the look and even street names copied from Stockholm Old Town. I investigated a bit more about it and found ot that he is in fact a big supporter of Swedish (or Nordic culture as a whole). I saw this and Miyazaki rose even further in my appreciation after this. He is an absolute master in the art of animated movies. Brilliant.

[Sanadachi]

As a Swede and a fan of almost everything Japanese, this video was a delight. I couldn't help but smiling all the way through it, thanks you, you've earned another subscriber.

[Luvuxie]

As a person that live in Sweden it’s really fun to watch these videos! And also the cap is attached to the plastic bottle so people don’t throw them away.😊

[kateschmate]

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay! ☺️ you’re welcome back anytime 🇸🇪💙
