The thing about non rules in Sweden is that we tend NOT to sue everybody when we make a mistake. You can camp, hike, forage etc in Sweden with the AllemansrƤtten but there are restrictions. Not to close to homes, military compounds, dont break things of trees etc.

Maybe react to swedish music. You'll be surprised to find out how many good songs/artists actually come from Sweden. And just so you know... winter in SkƄne isn't real winter.

If you were amazed by Castles you ought to see Swedish runestones from the period of the Iron Age, and large ritualistic rock carvings from the Bronze Age. Easily accessible just a cardrive away, if you live in the MƤlardalen region (Stockholm and neighbouring cities).
Also old Swedish churches often have wall paintings from the Renaissance or Medieval period, like many churches in the County of Uppland, which have paintings by Albertus Pictor, who painted the scene of a knight playing chess with Death, which inspired Ingmar Bergman in his film The Seventh Seal.

There's a funny old saying that goes like this: Europeans think 200 kilometers is a long distance. Americans think 200 years is a long time. š
Edit: Also, the types of beaches in Sweden are amazingly varied for a country barely the size of California - we even have a few coral beaches! The town I grew up in had beautiful golden sand beaches, but a mere half hour's drive away there was a coral beach with white sand and the water was incredibly shallow - it was very popular with parents of toddlers because of this.

As a swede (sorry for sounding pompous) I find it pleasant to hear a full-fledged american speak so highly, of th nation I call "home". My best friend of 12 years is american, so I'm very accustomed to said twang. Plus I have a genuine interest in your language. Great video and thank you for sharing your experience.

No signs, no lifeguards etc. is how we take care of the gene pool in Sweden

In regards to the laundry time thing, in Sweden most apartment complexes has a common laundry room that is used by all tenants. There is a booking system in each laundry room, which is why your friend said "yeah you can't just do laundry any time duh". You are of course free to get a washing machine and do laundry whenever you want as well if you prefer that.

Hi, Kim š
About the different colors and sizes of swedish money bills(and coins), it's so the blind and visually impaired can tell the difference between them and not get easily ripped off. š

I love watching your videos about Sweden, you spread so much joy and positive vibes. and it's really interesting to hear how you see Sweden and how everything works here and what the differences are against the USA

I LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION, at least personal and make sense and interesting to share YOU your self with us in a honest manner

As I was watching this I thought how about the opposite, first time visiting the USā¦ but then realized it means doing 50 or so vids since every new state is kind of a new experience or even within a state. San Francisco is quite different from San Diego. But I do remember arriving to US for the first time that it was quite intimidating for a young Swede, so much enforcement. So much informationā¦ and worst of all so many choices. Try ordering a coffee is like an exercise of answering 12 different questions. Regardless the big upside in US is that great openness between people once you pass that first barrier, itās so natural for you to invite new acquaintances over to your table or even to your home, itās so easy to meet new people. First time watching you and I really liked your presentation style and energy. Charming!

There are many reasons why geographical places have different names in different languages. The most obvious is that people speak different languages, and that languages constantly change, sometimes very fast. The importance and influence of individual languages also change frequently as they follow geopolitical shifts. English was for instance largely unknown in Western Europe before WWII. Back then, German and French served as the European lingua francas. In Eastern Europe, Russian was the most important foreign language up until 1989.
Without one global language (which will never happen for a number of reasons), speakers of any given language are going to have their own word for a certain part of the world. It is common to either approximate the name, or to translate the meaning of it, but sometimes it becomes completely different. The formal Swedish name for the US is btw 'Amerikas fƶrenta stater' which is a translation.
Then we have all the historico-geographical reasons. Migrations, wars, conquests, ethnic displacements, genocides, colonisations, commercial confederations, natural disasters etc. This has been going on since the dawn of time. Language is a powerful weapon. The language of those in power becomes dominant, languages spoken by those conquered become marginalised. Changing the names of conquered places is a way to exert power. Not many indigenous names remain in colonised regions. Some places of great strategic importance may have had quite a few names over the centuries.
Sweden is a very old country. It's not surprising that it has different names in different languages. In one of the oldest of all English sources, Beowulf (700-1000), Sweden is known as Sweorice - the land of the Swedes. It is an approximation of the Old Norse 'SvĆarĆki'. The modern form 'Svea rike' is still occasionally used in Sweden. 'Sverige' is simply a softened up contraction. As the English language gradually changed, the name shifted into 'Swedeland'. The current word 'Sweden' was eventually borrowed from Middle Dutch during the 17th century. In languages, nothing is static, everything is constantly changing.

I just love your channel, your so spot on, and the fact that your share your thoughts, like why there is no universal name for every country, bless you!

Yeah as some say here.. I also. Love your positive energy... And yes as you approach Random Swedes. We are often a bit shy in the beginning. But as you will discover.. We are almost always very genuine. And once you get to know someone. You get real good friends without facades... Not someone who just is nice towards you just just to be nice. They are nice to you cause they like you as a person... Love you're videos. Take care love from Stockholm /J

The washing schedule is only for those living in apartment blocks, I think :) Im not Swedish, but it is the same here in Norway, at least some places.

We're good neighbors, you know. š

It's cool hearing how much a person can learn and how much it can change your perspective from travelling ^^

Most of us understand English perfectly and have pretty big vocabularies but we seldom speak English so the brain-mouth connection is a bit slow. English to Swedish is easy but the other way around often needs some extra thinking and that makes us nervous. It's all about practice.
