Thanks for sharing your experience, and thank you for being candid. I’m in the middle of deciding whether I should go to Sweden or any of the Nordic countries for a master’s degree, so this is helpful. Btw, I’m planning to continue running my freelance writing business to support myself, do you think that could be a problem in Sweden or the Netherlands?

Same here. A total nightmare. Awful experience. Go to Norway or Denmark.

Swedes are very hard to get to know. Go to a suburb and people are more like in other places. Which one? Well, check the rankings :) ruclips.net/video/vzPBj8DBrAE/видео.html

I think the start of your videos that looks like the Netflix Home Screen is genius. Do you mind me using this?

How can I edit like you I want to start a RUclips channel, I plan on using Canva and filmora using my iPhone 13. Please help I love the aesthetics. I found you on TikTok.

Outside looking in, I sense a bit of entitlement here. Sorry but not sorry. You are in a different country, there are rules in place so you have to follow them. Not sure how not having a train ticket should allow you to get on a train. How’s that fair for everyone else that has goes on with a bus ticket? Who cares, it’s how I feel. And definitely not a reason not to live in Sweden. That is for every country. I’m from Canada.

How can strict alcohol policy have anything bad to it? Let’s be real if you feel that you need to buy alcohol at 23, you probably don’t need it. You only think you do. Same with food, you don’t eat at that hour if you want to be healthy, you only eat because you want whatever you eating. Your only point was “can’t drink outside” “it was only 4%”. You know when you take driver license, there’s a common question many answer wrong: How much can you drink before driving. A) 1 glass B) 3 Glass C) 1 bottle Answer: I should never drink, when I am driving. If the law is don’t drink outside in the open. Also on subways they’ve their own rules about food and drinks on board. Don’t do it and if you do it, don’t complain with a passive aggressive comment. About racism, sadly it’s true. Not Asians as I know, but dark skinned 100%. Friend who’s a door guard, his boss who’s from china and a female funny enough, said “no black people allowed” to him. He tried, but sometimes he let some in, cuz they were nice guys. Why reject them. The boss came to him and said “there’s too many black people inside the club”. So racism exist, yes. In club culture at least.

Sweden is the least racist country in the world. Your issues have nothing to do with racism. If you dont have a ticket for the train of course they wont let you on. Sweden is notorious for being really strict with entrance to clubs. Growing up in Stockholm as a swede it was a constant problem for me to get in to clubs. Face control. The guards might not like the way you dress etc.

Oh yes, go against the rules of our country and blame it on racism, Sweden is one of the least racist countries in the world. Remember the time a white male was rejected in to a club in south korea simply because he was white

The lack of job and racsim is big problem in Sweden that why many immigranter can't integrate in the sociaty. Many immigranter unsuccess in Sweden the reason of lack of job.

Left Sweden for Poland, warsaw

Nice post,i find interesting see ppl from others countries experiences of Swden but honestly almost everyone been in south of sweden.In my eyes south of sweden is like a different country then how life is up north where i live.My brother was living in Borås and when she was little his daughter after been visiting here she used to call this place "det riktiga Sverige"😀😀

Great video. Its miserable living here.

Sweden ? LoL , was born there, was able to escape in my thirties. A country totally destroyed by migrants from Africa and the arab countries

again some party bimbo complaining she can't party and be an alcoholic, boo hoo

Is it possible to acquire knowledge about economics, international politics and geography entirely in English in sweden libraries, or is it necessary to know Swedish for this knowledge?

As a Poles I had similar expirience in the club, but in Indonesia as a bule I cant go into😂...the watchman was stright about my skin color.

clubs fucking suck anyways

Kenapa ga balik indo aja?

The whole train ticket thing and the club thing is actually something that happens to people of many different backgrounds. My Swedish friends got rejected at a random bar even though they were near sober and dressed decently. Guards and bouncers are assholes in sweden and they are often on a power trip to throw you out for no reason. My Swedish friend got thrown out of the club for being ugly (I'm not kidding, those are the words they used). If you are a student going to Sweden I recommend going out in uppsala or Lund where they have a lot of student fraternities and such where people show a decent amount of respect

Sorry with the train "incident" but thats the same for all. Even if I would be tired, sad, hungry, frozen or drunk. You will get kicked off without explaining your history or world wiews and your characteristics. They will only throw you out. Wellcome back and design something nice for us here in Sweden!

Yeah, that's not racism, that's you being obnoxious.

I'm sorry but you can't just label a country racist because you didn't get what you want. That's so silly. Clubs are notorious for choosing clientele based on whatever the heck they want. Its a "club". Literally in Japan, Korea, China etc. they ban white people from loads of bars and clubs. That's not racism. And why you feel entitled to get on the train is beyond me. I'm sorry you were taught you're entitled things and that you don't get them because of your race. It seems to me the people that tend to assume people are racist tend to see race more than anyone. Otherwise nice video!

Most people working at clubs/at the door in clubs are not white swedes. So when they deny us swedes entry- is that also rascism ? More than 20 procent of the population in sweden are born in another country.

And you sound selfabsorbed/entitled and whiney which are characteristics not very appreciated by swedish people.

If you were in a large company of girls the bouncer might have denied you entrance 'cos you would have unbalanced the guy/girl ratio in the club. That happens often when big parties of people show up and they're all same sex. Or bouncer was an asshole, which is not unheard of. The profession tends to attract some major league power trippers.

Yes, at least someone that tell the truth.. its a hell to live in sweden! One need to be a viking to survive, know the cultur, speak swedish and english fluent.. and there is seldome any excuse to not knowing comon rules! Its the rule so you have to walk.. no coruption is allowed! "10 Things I Hate About Living in Sweden" ruclips.net/video/vwBt5_ZFkks/видео.html

Well Scandinavian social walfare etc based on small population, so small incidenten they will get panic.🙏

I look very swedish ive been denied entry to clubs 20x times atleast in my 20's, ive been thrown out of busses and traines even when i had the right tickets, im not saying you did't experience racism in sweden but alot of the things you experienced are not only becuse you look asian, i think system bolaget is great you can get what ever you want or order it and it's there in at most a few week, and your drinking experience is typical student behavior in Sweden, you grow out of it and you don't have to participate in the drinking, i don't think racism targeted towards asians is particulare wide spreed in sweden it's more often towards Africa and middle easterns, although it has grown in the last few years thanks to particulare chinese turists and viral videos of their actions, but as i said i look very swedish so i can't realy speak for your experience only how people around me speak of minorites and i never hear anyone speak bad about asians except when thoes viral videos pops up or after chinese goverment have made a statement about sweden.

All the people telling you that it wasn't racism in the comments are hilarious and to be expected. They can't even admit that there could be some type of racism in their people. No matter who you are people will dismiss your personal claims because " thats happened to me and i'm a ..." Sounds all too familiar.

9:12 Ye we can’t handle spice at all like Asian countries. But one thing we can handle is salt! 😂 ye salty food is really nice. I’m Swedish 🇸🇪

Don't know about this. I have lots of asian friends here in Gothenburg. From China, Indonesia, Thailand. Never heard they were treated poorly.

What was the name of the club i Gothenburg? Was it Park Lane on the top of the avenue? Because the bouncers there are 100% the worst kind! Litteraly everywhere else you can go is more friendly!

1. You tried to get into a train without a ticket. They deal with shit like that everyday and were probably tired of it, especially at 3 in the morning. 2. Dress code perhaps? The image of a club is very important, you can’t come in dressed sloppy. Otherwise maybe racism? Hard to say.

It's illegal to drink in public in Sweden, that's why they snatched your cider.

Doesn't sound like a ticket to the club, sounds more like you were on one of those lists where they sign up an excess number of names and if you show up before a certain time you'll get in if there is room. However if it is prime time, places are packed and you have to wait in line like everyone else unless you know someone that can get you in. Regular thing for clubs in Sweden

Seems very standard and not racist toward you specifically, I’ve lived in Asia and the amount of racism that’s experienced there is on par with what American racism is just without the violence. Sweden seems as if just a few people maybe having a bad day which is not racist

if I can't ignore all the rules and do as I want, I can always blame it on racism

Hey, I hope you take a moment to read this and reflect upon my words. These are from a place with the best of intentions in mind. Im about a decade older than you, and I know you're of an age where the rest of us seem a bit... retarded to your generations viewpoint and experiances, at least that was how it felt for me about your age. Now I want to share a perspective with you that i hope you might find helpful in your life, I dont mean to sound condescending or dismissive of your experiances. From the way you have described your negative experiances it does not seem to be a case of racism for me, but I was not there. But I want to warn you to see the unseen enemy(of racism, sexism, etc) everywhere. You may attritbute encounters, setbacks or critism to these unseen enemies. This time is was a club, what if it is a job interview? Its easy, and convenient to blame one of these unseen enemies, but detremental to your growth. "Ah nothing I could had done different would change the situation, its not me who is an issue, its them". You will not self reflect upon these moments.. Before you know it, it can become a lazy excuse of habit. As you've seen many comments from other swedes have now said these experiances are quite common. The club experiance is well known and especially for young people like you, it happened to me and my friends all the time. A simple reason is that young people dont spend a lot of money, because they have none. So on a payday when everyone is out, is customers or limited capacity the issue? There are safety regulations for each venue of how many people they can host... And when customers are plenty, they can be choosy. The idea I wanted to convey is complex and probably something one would requires a lot of talk to go through.. But im sure if you think about it with an open mind you can see the point im trying to make. It is something that has helped me quite a bit and I hope it can help you in the long term. I've tried to get my points across without sounding rude. Again this is from a place of best intentions. I hope you ponder upon it.

It's a white washed country, offcourse they don't want black and asians in clubs 😅

Hi..I am Costa Rican and sort of a bit brown. But the 2 times I went to Iceland and once in Tbilisi Georgia, I was the only one who had my suitcases checked. I didnt like it a bit. I made great friends in Reikjavík that was why I went back. Great video. I didnt have an issue at all in Sweden.

Good that you disappeared from Sweden. What we like least here in Sweden are whiny people people who complain. As for you and your generalization of Sweden so I wonder if you ever went out? I just wonder, you say no one speaks English. It's exactly the opposite. Almost everyone speaks English. Even children. It also gives a signal that you didn't go out. You are not missed!

I don't know why there's so much hate toward your video for expressing your experience living in Sweden. Swedish folks are often reserve when they're in their country. How did I know this? A few months ago, a guy went around interviewing a bunch of folks from Sweden who were vacationing in Thailand. ALL of them said people in their country are mostly reserved and may even be rude, so it's difficult for foreigners to make friends there. The interviewer then asked these Swedish vacationers why they're currently so friendly. ALL of them said it's because they're on vacation and away from the norms of their country. I guess your haters just don't want to accept reality of the norms in Sweden.

The reason why we pay High rent is becuse with that Money we get free lunch At Scholes and the best part is that HOSPITAL is FREE!!! Im not trying to make you feel bad. Im just saying

Trying not to call white people racist everytime there’s an inconvenient, challenge impossible

I don't think it's got anything with racism to do, the conductors have to deal with a lot of people causing troubles these days. Probably just had a bad day. I haven't gone on a train for atleast 15 years tho, I know that you're suppose to buy your tickets through your phone and stuff these days. Can't just take a seat and hand the conductor some cash anymore. Please don't confuse people who are just awkward or don't know how to interact with foreigners for racism. I've lived in Norrköping for 9 years, it was 9 years wasted really. Moved back to my home town Söderköping back in 2012 because I wanted peace and quiet. And considering the riots and all the nasty folks that have moved to Norrköping it was surely at the right time. Reason I moved to Norrköping in the first place was because I was moving out of my parents and there simply wasn't anything affordable in my home town. During weekends most Swedes spend time with their families rather than going out on town, so ofc there aren't as many peeps out during a sunday.

Ah yes I bet the cities there are quite charming. $600 euros??? Thats unheard of. I pay $1700. Wow they make it easy to work there nice. Wow the comments are kind of nuts even if they are teenagers. Oh wow that train conductor that is on another level. 23-24 that is crazy. Yes I can understand the darkness. I lived in Seattle and it is like that there too, very hard to deal. LOL and the original people that founded the PNW were Swedes and the locals are known for being hard to get to know, they call it the Seattle Freeze. Though you could buy wine the super market. But not in NY you have to buy it in a liquor store. Bland food is not fun. Great discussion girlie! 🥰👍

even if it’s not racism, why are they so MEAN in sweden?? you guys have some explaining to do. geesh, even icelandic people aren’t that bad.

Swedes smell.
