Sweden?

[parachutes_]

I'm really bored right now so..

tell me what you know about Sweden. (no google!)

:)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

:thinking:
country threads are on international section but anyways....

what i know about sweden is that:
is a country located in north europe, due to that they have cold weather most of the year, educational system is good one and they are able to speak swedish and english fluently.

[parachutes_]

oh, yes you're right.. this should be at international.. can I move it somehow? :thinking:

everything you wrote was right :)
and I also know that you know about Fever Ray.

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

mods can move it. :)
and i think there's already a sweden thread, so surely it'll be merged.

hehe that's true too. ;)

well there's another thing related with my country and Sweden but may be you won't like it.

there's like a set phrase here saying:
hacerse el sueco / hacerse la sueca

meaning like you pretend you don't know something. (like when someone asked you to do them a favour and they didn't do it and disappeared for a while).

is due to tourism here, in the 70's there were many swedish girls and guys here...
we had fun with our swedish colleague at uni with that sentence. :p

[mc_squared]

Everyone saunas completely naked and goes around singing Abba songs all day!!:P

[parachutes_]

Haha, well the sauna-thing could be true.. I don't really know. I never sauna. :laugh3:
But saunas is more Finland I think. ;)

And the Abba part is a bit true. Since the Mamma Mia-movie all the girls in my school sings Abba all the time and it makes my maaaad. I can't stand Abba!

the funny thing is how it happened..
some friends were talking randomly one said the sentence and then the swedish came like she were angry and told us: what's up with swedish people? we aren't stupid" and we were like :uhoh:
obviously she knew about the sentence ;) and so pretended she was angry. :)

[Ahlem]

[CPRani]

Your country is right besides Norway (woho), Finland, almost Denmark and a little of Russia?

Capital is Stockholm.

And your candy is awesome and cheap :D!

[Black Rose]

You guys invented Ikea

And on that basis you guys are the best in the world

[Ahlem]

oh yeah i watched a reportage one day in a french tv about students of highschool there,
and oh my god :stunned:
it's totally different from here, the material-goods that schools own there and the way of education very different, students are all around guided and suported by professors, that's pretty awesome, here's not the same :dozey:
and the number of languages you learn there,
they showed 5 students from that highschool who can speak at least 4 languages without any difficulties

i remember the day after that i met my friend in our uni and she asked me if i watched that reportage and as i said yes we look to each other and said at the same time "life is unfair" :laugh3: i can hear it now honestly as it happened few seconds ago :P

honestly i think the education there is the best one ;)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

our mate says that there you get text books in your school once the year start, and you have to pay nothing for them (just in case you damage them intentionatelly).
i wish we have that here.

@ze_scientist
haha, well.. i would go on forever! ;)

@my norweigan neighbour
well.. finland is between sweden and russia but the other is true :)
you think? haha. i don't think it's something special ;)

@kite
true. ;)

@ze_scientist and ari
haha, yes the education here is very good. :D
does it cost to go to school in your countrys? how much?

[strawberryfields]

Errr acording to Bill Bryson, you guys have a high rate of suicide :uhoh:

And I also know that I'm going to Stockholm this summer :wacko:

[Ahlem]

it's ok you can say something new in every post :P

and as for your question:
well i think it doesn't cost a thing :thinking: only private of course
but i know for unies ( if you haven't got a scholarship) you pay, for instance i paid 396 euros for the whole year

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

yay for stockholm strawberryfields. :D

well here officially studying in school and secondary is free, but that's not true, is free as we don't have to pay the teachers salary (the State pays them), but we do have to pay our books, and it can be like 100-150€ per kid each year. :\
for our secondary degree we didn't need to pay anything,
but for uni and last 2 years of high school (which are not compulsory), we have to pay a lot, and for the exam to get to uni we have to pay and to get our bachiller degree too, that is like 50+40 euros... :thinking:

[parachutes_]

Errr acording to Bill Bryson, you guys have a high rate of suicide :uhoh:

yes.. we have.. :( i would guess it's because of the winters are really long, dark and cold. most people get depressed then (including me).

norway is the only country in scandinavia I havn't been to (but want so badly, you speak the most charming language EVER) so I can't compare. but I've heard that norway is expensive but you earn really much at work, so many swedes go there to work. my sister will search for job there actually this summer. :)
and yeah! you mean Zlatan! :nice: he speaks funny, he's got a funny swedish dialect.

@strawberryfields
that sounds so nice! :) do you know what you'll be doing in Stockholm?

@ze_scientist

IIRC if you get caught speeding in Sweden, the fine is a percentage of your income.

Plus isn't the high-rate tax 70%?

HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

about the high taxes mentioned here i've heard about that too, but i've heard that you pay taxes just once (so you don't have indirect taxes as we all have here, as for instance when we buy something), and thanks to that you can have good services and you don't need to pay extra for them there. :) (streets are clean, gardens are fine...)

[parachutes_]

I don't know yet, what do you recommend? :)

Hm.. I don't live in Stockholm so I don't have that many advise...But I would recommend you to visit "Gamla Stan" or with a bad translate "Old Town". There you can find many diffrent unique stores and the best places to eat. In centrum there's most MCDonalds, H&M and those very usually stores you can find almost in every country. :)

[parachutes_]

yes!!! :D just not much stuff about them, and I hope it's just not stereotypes :embarassed:
and what do you know about mexico?

Oh.. this will short.. :blush:
Your capital is Mexico City or Ciudad de México on Spanish
You have an amazing culture of Mayaindians
It's a very crowded country
It's very beautiful and warm
You speak Spanish

@the oasis fan (you have 'faster then a cannonball' as text)

@ari
i think so.. and the garden part is true. :)

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

so if as you say is true, i prefer to live in your country than mine, is better and cheaper, a lot of good services and just have to pay taxes once instead of as it goes here:
low taxes but a lot of indirect taxes the whole year that particulars can't get discount, just enterprises can. :( so unfair.

oh I like Sweden :nice: seems such a beautiful country...

I actually know some people living there. They are very nice! :heart: who knows... maybe I'm going there to study in a not-so-far future.

What I know about it... not much besides of what ppl already said here: ABBA, high taxes, high suicide rates, high quality of life, the design of chairs...

Also I saw in tv once, that there was a country inside your very country. It was created by a Swedish man...

Also that the country is very egalitarian on its wealth: there's generally not too rich, not too poor people. (here's totally the opposite)

Oh, and the blonds with big boobs. :stunned:

although we have an reputaion to be very beautiful. Chris Martin himself has said; "In Sweden everyone is so beautiful. You must fall in love at first sight all the time. It's a nighmare to go to tour in Scandinavia cause every night you see the most beautiful women you have ever seen. It's crazy!"

Um, okay.

It's near Norway and stuff, and its capital is, um... Stockholm. Umm.... Norway is.... to the west? :inquisitive: and Finland is like, ..... northeast of it. Potentially.

It's also a very awesome place to live on many multiple levels. Cuz they have all sorts of really cool stuff in Stockholm, like, yknow, the Nobel Prize and everything. Also they used to have a lot of Vikings! :hat:

Nope. Well, a Swedish professor on our faculty said that you guys allow guests and journalists speak in their own dialect (most of the time). Or at least that they encourage this diversity.

Here, if you speak a dialect which is not the 'central' one, the people make fun of you in 60% of cases. And usually you don't hear them on the telly.

That's one way of putting it.............................

The suggestion was that alcohol was so expensive in Sweden that when Swedes went on holiday to countries like Greece or Spain, they tended to drink like mad................... :stunned:
Brits drink like mad all the time, so it doesn't matter where they are!!:P
