I didnt understand last one. Who does enter somebody else's house with shoes btw?? Outside is dirty. Home is a clean place. How you can run and around house with shoes?! Weird

Im from Sweden, and is a swede. you literally disrespect my favorite season, which is winter. And the winter isn't ever that cold. And also, the rest of those are false. 2:42 It mostly depends what food u choose, i love our food. And u disrespect that. Just bc one piece of food from the country that isn't great, doesn't mean all other are bad. In my opinion, you are lying. WE HAVE A GOOD HEALTHCARE SYSTEM! we maybe are a little racist, but not a lot. AND WE AREN'T DEPRESSED SWEDEN IS THE 7th HAPPIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Well, the time this video was created, our cops wasn't great. But they are now improving. And WHAT THE HELL IS BORING?! SWEDEN LITERALLY HAVE A LOT TO EXPLORE, AS A GUY WHO LIVES FROM SWEDEN, U PROBABLY HAVEN'T BEEN IN SWEDEN! And our costumer Service is great. 7:11. I do agree with this part, but all other countries have this problem to. U dont need to do Lagom if u want, we just recommend it. And we aren't forcing u to take off ur shoes. (Unless if you are inside).

I dont understand why people talk shit about my country and spread false information.

Taking your shoes off isn't a bad thing as many countries do that

I moved to Sweden some years ago, do not believe everything. It isn't that bad. That's probably just the view of somebody from Florida or California. Be realistic!

I visited Sweden twice in business trips to Stockholm and Gothenburg ... I worked for a big Pharma in the 2000's. I fully agree with some of the points said. I found the Swedes as cold as their weather. I don't find Stockholm and Gothenburg beautiful either compared to other European cities. Maybe I wasn't white and speak English ... the only coworkers who wanted to chat with me after work were Eastern European immigrants. Price there was very expensive. The same watch in Stockholm can cost 30% more than North America. A simple steak and a red wine costed a fortune. They had a lot of fish dishes there but they tasted odd. I was refused food while seating in a restaurant for 30 minutes. The waiters passed by me pretending I am not there. I think racism has something to do with it. I doubt that I will ever go there again in my life.

Why it says the food isn't the greatest, it's more like the chemicals they put in the food that is bad, but the food taste very good in Sweden.

Sweden is an AMAZING place!!!! I live there and like the whole class are my friends even the boys

[leftoversgo]

It's pitch black and cold, you're depressed and don't have any friends so of course you'll just drink alcohol.

There are too many to talk about.

Economic. Food prices are higher than people’s salaries. Because of too many immigrants abusing the system all the benefits are down to nothing. Housing is very expensive and hard to come by.

The culture is bad. People are cold and it’s impossible to make friends and find a partner, no one really wants to get to know someone new, even if Swedish and especially if you’re an immigrant, unless you’re somehow a student there from like the UK or US and get to know class mates, lots of options of hotter people and no one settles down. People don’t really ever accept immigrants into the society. Extremely homogeneous. Boring city life and night life. Looking to move myself.

The weather. It’s cold and it’s dark.

The job market. It’s extremely competitive even for working at grocery stores

personnummer sounds literally the same as the sosec number in america

[HenryJBR]

I love summer and winter im both sides

[NokiaFarmer]

7:11 This is the reason why I left Sweden, and also because the police sucks and the justice system sucks.

[divamoosic]

Sweden still sounds better than America

[muhanimationshaha]

I live in sweden. This is trash talk. Ur winters are just like the USA!!! Ugh...
