Five Reasons to Move To Sweden

by lonely, Mar 11, 2008

One of my friends changed my mind about moving to Sweden.

I was born in Turkey and I've lived in Turkey all my life.As usual,I always liked my country and did not think to live in another country. However,one of my friends changed my mind when he told me about Sweden. He had never thought to live in Sweden until he was accepted by a Swedish University for master degree. I contacted him by phone and Internet and gathered information about Sweden. He biased me to move Sweden.

I have searched and surveyed about moving to Sweden so far.I've asked Swedish people about Sweden,life in Sweden and life conditions in Sweden.These are the results of my quick survey:

  1. There is no war or possibility of war in Sweden.All Swedish people live in peace in their land.
  2. There is a big opportunity for taking good education especially in engineering and natural sciences. Uppsala University,Lund University and Chalmers University of Technology are popular universities in Sweden and Europe.They all give good education.



  3. There is a big opportunity for finding good job.Technology and Science is developed in Sweden.Sweden needs youth population.Rate of youth population in Sweden is very low.


  4. There are very beautiful places to see in Sweden like Stan Island,famous war ship Vasa,Royal Palace,Theatre Building,Kunqsrad Park,Fjallgatan Hill,Residance Museum,Masthugget Church,Amelienborg Palace,Statue of Little Mermaid,Statue of Poseidon,Karl Johans Street and National Theatre Building.


  5. Beautiful blonde girls of Sweden with blue eyes.

"Five Reasons to Move TO Sweden"

#1 - bullshit
#2 - as opposed to the universities in the United States, for example?
#3 - same problem here
#4 - True, those represent a handful of some very beautiful places
#5 - You got me...

5 - Sadly, because of immigration, soon here in Scandinavia, and Europe as well, there will be no more blue eye blondes.

#1 - No war, \"police action\", or War on Anything since 1814.
#2 - University education is tax financed and technically free.
#3 - Yep.
#4 - While those are scenic for the tourists, don\'t forget the fact that you can legally hike, camp and whatnot on virtually any of Sweden\'s land. Even privately owned.
#5 - With regards to \"Oskar\" and his comment above. The girl in the middle has \"Zlatan\" written on her belly. Zlatan\'s parents were Yugoslav immigrants. I\'d take population influx with talent and entrepreneurs over 100% \"blue eyes, blondes\" any day.

Carl, come to Malmö, southern Sweden, and experience our thounsands upon thousands of "entrepreneurs" destroying the city everyday.

I can't believe what I am reading. Sweden might seem heaven on earth for you but it is not for everyone. I had to do a semester at a University in Stockholm and I felt severely depressed. It was during winter time and I could not stand the fact that it was dark for almost 20 hours (even more) a day. That is something that is not appealing...

Another thing, is that people are way too snobbish. You sit in the classroom, you see the guy next to you moving away from you each second. You sit on a bus, you see the lady next to you moving away from you and trying hard not to touch you. You go to shop at a supermarket and ask where is that certain item and people make fun of you (this happened to my friend, not me) but it is true.

And what about the girls? Blonde girls with blue eyes are everywhere...

Universities? Come on now, we all know that the best Universities are in the USA (for those who can afford them)

But at the end, it is indeed a beautiful country with lots of excellent sceneries, but I did not enjoy it that much.

I actually moved from Sweden to the US, but not because Sweden is not a nice place. Now, some random comments on comments made above: Sweden gets very dark in the wintertime, more so the further north you go. This works fine for some people while others go crazy. The flipside of this is that the summers are amazing, 20 hours of darkness in the winter sucks but 20 hours of daylight in the summer has to be experienced (if I had to pick one thing I miss, that'd be it). Next, Swedish people are not snobbish, but reserved. This has to do with the strong belief that bothering someone else is impolite, which is why Swedes may appear stand-offish. Furthermore, having attended both American and Swedish universities, I can say this: While the best universities in the world are undoubtedly in the US, the average quality of university education is better in Sweden. International studies support this.

Lastly, while the main article gives examples of some excellent sites to see, I feel compelled to point out that Amalienborg and the Little Mermaid are both located in Copenhagen, Denmark, while Karl Johan and the National Theatre are in Oslo, Norway.

Best,

Henric

I'm living in the U.S. and want to visit Sweden, perhaps for a semester abroad. I was initially attracted to the landscapes and beautiful language, as well as some of the films and music to come out of the place.

I'm a very reserved person (with strangers, not out of shyness but the fact that I don't see the point of pushing myself on people) who doesn't like to be bothered, especially with "polite" hellos and "how are yous". I've read that Swedes are very very reserved, which I like. But I wonder, how do you guys meet women and such over there? If you're all so reserved, what's the dating process like?
#11 by Carl Johansson, May 10, 2008
The dating process is something like this...

1. Get drunk and stop being reserved.
2. Shout randomly in crowded places with loud music until you find someone who seems to like you.
3. ??
4. Profit.
