I am a New Zealander who lived in Sweden for six months, I would say my favourite things were how amazing the public services (public transport, maintenance of cities, urban planning) is, as well as the emphasis on sustainability, healthiness and equality! My least favourite things are the horrible winter weather (I lived in SkÄne so it rained a lot too) and how reserved/cold people are to strangers.

An interesting topic and interesting answers from your fellow Stockholmers. I moved here 3 months ago, in the middle of winter (I live in the North) and I bought a house and brought my 2yo baby kid and my husband. I will answer your question too - Things I LOVE about Sweden and some reasons why we moved here - clean fresh water, air, People taking care of the nature and their surroundings in general, People are considerate and maybe a little shy and closed up, but kind and helpful even here in the north.
Things I don't like are the bureaucracy, The long waiting lists for everything (we are waiting for 8 months for a dagis...now to be a förskola), But pretty much everything else with this country is great!
We chose to live here because I am resonating a lot with the culture and the values of the Swedes and want to raise my daughter in a normal , nice, good and caring country. And even tho we will be emigrants forever here... Better to be emigrants in a good country than to be no-ones in our own shitty country who does not take care of it's citizens!
So my answer to your third question is the North of Sweden where it's cozy in the winter and we have northern lights every two nights and so light and bright in the summer when the sunset and the sunrise are the same hand in hand and dancing in the pink sky!

The worst thing I would say is the complexity of social life including (dating, making new friends, meeting new people, relationship with neighbors). The perception of making friendships is very complex for internationals and even for many Swedes, which leads to a sense of loneliness and less acceptance in the society. The rest is Fantastic

"no one talks to each other". Yes. Sign me up. grew up in NYC, have lived in major cities and now Texas: I am so tired of everyone in everyone's business. Live and let be. I'm in.
