[@SpaceCattttt]

I'm Swedish, so none of this is news to me. Still, it's nice to watch a video like this and get a foreigner's perspective. It teaches you not to take things for granted, you know?

[@DeNorali]

Always interesting to see Sweden from an outside perspective. Don't let rude people get you down. People behave like shit when they can hide behind anonymity.

[@MySwedishExchange]

Alexander Nielsen Thanks so much for watching! I really needed to hear this ahaha been getting a bit of hate lately! So I appreciate your words!

[@DeNorali]

MySwedishExchange Meh, people are stupid. If you are still in Sweden you could do a review of swedish or scandinavian candy. Get some friends to come over. Don't forget to try salty liquorice though it is an acquired taste ;)

[@MySwedishExchange]

Alexander Nielsen YESSSS! Such a great Idea! Thanks so much! Going to try do it this weekend!

[@TheSwedishTraveler]

Fika is one of the best things ever!

[@LauraRTattoo711]

As an American immigrant in Sweden, I concur with most of this.

[@MySwedishExchange]

LauraRTattoo711 Ahahah I am glad you can relate to it! Where about are you living? Thanks for watching!

[@LauraRTattoo711]

I live in Stockholm.

[@emmalove3468]

who say that Sweden is boring??! I'ts one of the most Beautiful countrys one earth!! I live in Sweden and love it so musch! We do everithing for the nature and the Peopels on earth!

[@oskarkristiansson9456]

Hahahaha allt för naturen. Men ändå flyger ni utomlands varje år...

[@emmajayemma7365]

Visiting there soon

[@johnmagnussonnylander8895]

This is very nice to hear, makes me realize yet again how great of a country we live in.

[@noxpunkis]

This was really refreshing to hear. There so many things we take for granted here in Sweden. Next time you should come to Stockholm.

[@MargarethaRydberg]

Thank you for picking these best things in your opinions. As a Swede I think you picked the best ones.

[@annaliesegann9491]

definately about the reasonable thing and the quirky thing!!! loved this

[@antonmansson5443]

it's so fun to see what people from other countries think about Sweden. keep going with these videos!!!:)

[@TheGirlWhoWatchedU5]

Hi! I really enjoyed your video, I'm planning on moving to Sweden next year, but I wasn't quite sure because I'm still choosing where to go (Denmark, Norway, Finland, etc) and your videos are kinda helping me out :D thank you for the vids!

[@skalmaa]

Glad you enjoy it here. Thinking about studying myself in some foreign country, or just to try living in another country for a year or so. Probably Netherlands,New Zealand or Australia.

[@MySwedishExchange]

skalmaa GO TO AUSTRALIA!!!

[@joakimnyback1931]

Kiruna and the nature around it is pure magic.. I did my military services there as an archtic ranger for 2 years

[@MySwedishExchange]

Joakim Nybäck Yeah it is so incredible! I love it there!

[@CaptainPlainFace]

I like to hear what others think of Sweden and when they compare it to their home country because it reminds of how good I have it here.

[@zaiivonhest]

Fika is such a basic thing for a swede. So weird that other countries doesn´t seem to have it.. :P

[@MySwedishExchange]

zaiivonhest Don't you worry I am bringing it back to Australia! :)

[@zaiivonhest]

MySwedishExchange Ha! Obviously i was having fika when reading your answer... But u do that, spread the wisdom!

[@skalmaa]

They do, but in other forms. Look at some english people for instance, bisquits and cookies. If thats not *Fika* then i dont know what is.

[@Patrik6920]

I belive MOST countries have Fika in some form, maby its not the institution of swedish fika but, England, US, Ireland, Canada, Kina, Japan amongst others all have it.

[@Patrik6920]

Patrik6920 btw im swedish :D

[@EmiLo1337]

You really seem to like it here, way to stay positive :) most of us just want to go away as often as we can (mainly because october-march is dark 24/7 and depressing)

[@MySwedishExchange]

Thank-you! It means a lot!

[@EmiLo1337]

MySwedishExchange I watched some of your other videos, impressive swedish skills! Cool that you went to Kiruna (my town of birth) and that you get to see the variety and diversity of sweden and not just Stockholm City, which most tourists do. Enjoy the rest of your stay and good luck in school :)

[@helenahayes6150]

So great to hear a fellow Australian talking about Sweden. Can you make a video about how hard or easy it is for an Australian to find work in Sweden?

[@TheeSherminator]

really enjoying seeing what other countries think of us sweedes. Gr8 video!

[@Backstromgroup]

I you're talking about the Swedish pick-and-choose "lösgodis/smågodis" loose lollies, I would think IKEA Sydney should have them just as Melbourne do now (they didn't in my 6 1/2 years there). They even have them here in Brooklyn, US now. But as for variety, it'll be nothing like in a Swedish supermarket. Decent selection of other foods, too.

[@geoffdearth8575]

We had an Aussie foreign exchange student when I was in high school. I still like hearing that accent.

[@sepharos2759]

well nice that u like it here but the weather... on the morning it might be 30 degrees and sunshine but snowing with -3 degrees on the afternoon..... in July

[@emelienavea136]

xD xD xD xD It's fun to hear both good and weird things from someone not from sweden you get a good perspective on things, Im getting very curious of how other countries works :) I hope you enjoy(ing) your time here! :)

[@tjn683]

Daniel Adams-Ray has started to sing/rap in english now:) The song Thinking of Sunshine was written with Avicii. Not my favourite though

[@bellaolson9312]

I live in sweden and i never thought about that with equality between men and women, as you mentioned with the toilets in school. Never thought of it before!

[@ID4ofcourse]

Haha.. I've always wondered how to say "kanelbulle" in English and you said cinnamon bun, yaaas now I know lol.

[@MySwedishExchange]

Osm Britney I love them so much! Thanks for watching!

[@addeking123]

Osm Britney You can also say cinnamon roll

[@ludvig9184]

+Osm Britney Swedish kanelbullar are different to other countries cinnamon buns though.

[@vogel6554]

Hade världens bästa konversation med min kompis om gifflar: Vad heter de på engelska? Gifflers?

[@kiwicowgirl95]

Love your videos!! I've been an exchange student in Sweden for ten months and definitely relate to what you're talking about (im from New Zealand though have lived in Australia). I'm curious to know: How much Swedish did you pick up while here? Did you speak any? I understand maybe half of what people say though am to shy to speak the language my self! :)

[@jezuzklas]

Hi ! I like your vids and it is fun to here what other think of sweden. You was talking about u can´t talk to strangers on the buss and stuff but i am one of the ppl that are talking to everyone and many other ppl djust stare at me when u start talk to them . i think it is very vierd that u can¨t talk to someone nere you when u have nothing els to do. tanks for the vids !. sorry for my bad english ...

[@thegamingswedes1664]

Don't worry, Swedes don't hear what the rappers are singing either.

[@neazenzen372]

Iallafall inte de skånska rapparna :')

[@tobiasbengtsson2112]

+Linnea Barzen no, såklart..

[@benlainio9787]

I'm thinking about going on exchange and am just wondering what year you were in in Australia when you left and what year you think would be best. Love the video by the way! :)

[@menotkevin227]

OMG FIKA YESS! Fika is amazing!

[@AppleSlizerd]

Yes! Daniel Adams-Ray! He and a person named "Oskar Linnros" earlier had a band together where they would rap, and if you enjoy Daniel, you would very much love Oskar Linnsros' music and the music they made together in "Snook". Their album "Är" is really good. The best song by Oskar, i would say, is "Genom eld" (which translates into "Through fire", and you can really feel what he means, i would think, even if you don't understand the actual words, though they are really interesting). You should check it out!

[@emiliawerdien7360]

Welcome to our rainy Sweden, we're glad to have you here😂

[@SweetHandsUp]

You haven't been in the UK, have you? 😆

[@malinl286]

I think there is a place near Bondi that sells swedish candy! Also in cairns and surfers paradise

[@ingemareriksson7758]

[@babyiloveyoutoo]

[@nanalala6137]

Never mind that Gekoo-guy. You sound like a nice person and it is great watching you'r videos^^

[@samuelhallqvist.9423]

you go to Ulricehamn 30 min away from Borås. Search for Ulricehamn on google and you will see. Nice litle city whit awsome nature and big nice lake called Åsunden hope you go there its worth it. And its not a big city like borås its calm in Ulricehamn once again hope you go there. :)

[@perkalov]

Its so obvious to us most things you mention so we dont realy notice them. Thanks for reminding me :)

[@MySwedishExchange]

perkalov My pleasure, thanks so much for watching!

[@emelienavea136]

MySwedishExchange Yes I agree with perkalov thank you! :)

[@NiggaDogge]

I love the Aussie accent!

[@Oniqiri]

Thanks! first when i watched ur first video i was like, no what a idiot. But actually sweden DOESNT have to be best! but u did 10 things about sweden tooooo that made me glad ;D

[@antoniogonzalez4701]

Hello, I study at University and am trying to go to Lund University next spring for a travel abroad. I am from the United States. I was just wondering if there were some things you would recommend I do.

[@biraptor6205]

last year our weather on summer was terrible.

[@misselleri7320]

[@DarrenDigital]

Enjoying your videos MySwedishExchange I'm contemplating about moving there in the next year, I have been deciding between Canada, Denmark and Sweden - I am, however, leaning mostly towards Sweden now.

[@MySwedishExchange]

Darren Jacobson Thank-you so much for watching my videos! Where are you loving now!? Scandinavia is so amazing and advanced in social issues!

[@DarrenDigital]

MySwedishExchange currently living in South Africa. Applying for employment in Stockholm first, then Gothenburg, hopefully I can find something so I can apply for a Working Permit and make the move.

[@emelienavea136]

Darren Jacobson I think you will like sweden! :D And if you come here Welcome to sweden! :)

[@DarrenDigital]

Thank you SO much Emelie Seborn :) It seems I wont be making the move anytime soon.

[@emelienavea136]

Okay :)

[@VicariousReality7]

Do you have sun in the winter down there?

[@FXGreggan.]

You make a better swede than me and I've lived here all my life :) Glad you appreciate it though :D

How about weather in Iran?

[@moa7759]

I live in Borås, where did ypu live when you were here?

[@volvo145]

Välkommen till Borås :-)

[@goldrush5764]

You should open up a candy shop in Australia where you get to weigh your candy. I bet that would be a huge hit! .. ;)

[@marct138]

Borås is allllways raining. It's a curse over that town.

[@Gabbsterz-lx1zb]

I also live in Borås (Sweden)

[@august2303]

I'm from Sweden!

[@korpen3770]

Swedish guy here! :) I love my country Sweden. However one thing i hate, is our beaches. They are just boring and the water is foggy and dull. Rotten seaweed everywhere that smells like death. This is basically why most Swedes travel to other countries, in order to get a real beach experience. There are some nice beaches here but they do not even compare at all to other countries. The falls & winters here are gorgeous though, if you visit north of Sweden especially.

[@cl8804]

OH! She says "my town Borås"!

[@Thaleya1]

Great Video, this one and the weirdest video :D

[@MySwedishExchange]

Thaleya1 Thank-you so much for watching my videos! And for your previos long response!

[@sjukhusen]

I love walking in the forest here in sweden. But only in summer :p

[@fredrikjonsson5429]

Holy f**k you live in Borås? That is like a real backwater place to live in...I´ve been there several times since I only live like 45 minutes away. Since I'm born and raised in a town like that I know! But I guess it also is what you make of it=) Hope you still enjoy living here. Cheers!

[@michaelkoldestam7038]

Buses on time? where did you live?

[@Fopprax]

It is only in Sweden they complain that the bus comes too late with 30sec

[@noerden91]

***** maybe in germany too

[@sonyridder]

***** Where I live the bus is often 10-15 minutes late. Not so fun waiting in the snowstorm! ;P

[@Saffronix2022]

***** Probably because it's no fun having to wait an extra 30s in a snowstorm. :(

[@koalasama8191]

How much Swedish did you know before you left? And did you learn the language when you were there?

[@Xpulzee]

It depends on your skills and if you want to learn the language, when youre an exchangestudent you will have courses in the school and you might also go to SFI if you want as extra courses! :)

[@pjaholgersson]

Wow! You are really beautiful!

[@Toimi]

im a swede, i don't even eat lösgodis(what she explained as her favorite). I barely even eat swedish candy, or candy at all. I eat some finnish candy. :d

[@wiktornordqvist528]

I live in borås to

[@WildAnimalChannel]

I would like to go to Sweden but I don't want to do the housework! :s

[@NorzkenolZn]

Where You living im Borås? did i hear that right? 100k ? that many hmpf. i live in Jönköping about 70km away in the direction of Stockholm from Borås.

[@NorzkenolZn]

And yeah i heard You like swedish candy! what swedish candy do You like The most?

[@MiniOgge89]

Agree with all your points! We are awesome! *flex*

+Jacob Öbrell Are you sure about that?

[@MiniOgge89]

+Johan Öbrell Why wouldnt I? All valid points :)

[@fighterwille10lol36]

do you live in Borås?! i live 15minuts from Borås!😉

[@93parasol]

so funny how people from other countries find swedish busses and stuff so good, when we think they are sooo bad and always late and especially västtrafik, wich is also in borås, is really hated for how bad everyone thinks it is. but for example when I was in germany it was so much worse, so maybe I should really stop complaining :)

[@Jagvillboienhatt]

Would you consider living here permanently? And if not, why is that? (Part from the obvious being that your friends and family don't live here.)

[@MySwedishExchange]

Hmmm, well I would defiantly consider it, but something that might stop is in the winter weather and how people are in winter! If I was super rich I would spend every summer in Sweden and winter in Italy! :) I am completely in love with Swedish culture and wish it was the similar in Australia, especially how liberal the swedes are! :)

[@Jagvillboienhatt]

MySwedishExchange The weather is one of the main reasons of why I'm considering moving from here, the winter is really awful. The Swedish summer is awesome though, just wish it lasted for more than 3 months. Haha, you consider us liberal? Then I don't want to know what the social/political climate in Australia is like ;p

[@oliverpettersson4485]

MySwedishExchange agreed

[@EmblaBexell]

MySwedishExchange Fika, Fika, Fika...

[@emelienavea136]

Fika is great! :D

[@jonteguy]

People who say Sweden is boring are not talking about living there, I think. They probably mean as a tourist resort, like a week or two. Not actually living there like you do now, it's not a tourist resort like Spain, that's very obvious. But to live here is probably one of the best places you can pick, honestly. Although I must say even as a tourist I think Stockholm would be great, it's kind of expensive compared to Greece, Spain etc but night life in Stockholm kicks the shit out of any tourist town in Greece, Spain or any place like that. TL:DR Sweden is a place anyone would love to settle down in, perhaps not just visit for a week though.

[@Norenborg]

I don't get it? Don't ppl do fika in other contries?

[@stoffni]

As far as Ive understood. In other countries people only really go to cafés when they lunch etc. While here in Sweden, we could just do it for the social part.

[@angelic8632002]

+Maddyz Q We have some morons here its true(they are the most vocal of us unfortunately). But you wont get any trouble from state organizations or the law just because your skin color might vary. Still, I would suggest living in one of the larger cities. Especially Stockholm. Over all its one of the safest places to live in the world. And while some might treat you badly, you most likely wont come to any harm. And most of us frown upon racist remarks and the like. Its not a part of our culture in a way you have to worry about. You will be welcome here, and good luck!
