      I was told that some people there were attracted to Middle Eatern people of the opposite gender there as Swedish are usually blonde and most Middle Easterers have a brunnette or a little light brown skin ...( They were just visitors or tourists and did not reside there except for a few weeks ...)

      Major points for me are the comparatively big progress in gender equality, flat hierarchies and Stockholm’s startup culture. Plus of course the fact that Sweden is an introvert’s paradise with a generally low speaking volume and high social distancing 🏝

    Things like work-life balance has kept me in Sweden. I see few countries as good alternatives. I was considering an academic career for a while, and doing a postdoc in another country would have looked good on my CV, but in the end it didn't feel right for me. The funny thing is, I don't even think those extra stressful hours they work in other countries actually generate anything of value (in general). A good work-life balance actually makes you more productive at work, instead of counting down the hours at the end of each day.

    Equality is a hallmark of Swedish culture. It is also A SMART CULTURE: when the Swedes learned how damaging the use of mercury-based processing was in the pulp + paper industry in the early 1960s, they STOPPED IMMEDIATELY using it; the Swedes, instead of using assembly line to build cars, they took a team approach that encouraged cross-training. As a footnote, my Swedish grandfather's business, Henry Selin Forest Products (the largest privately-owned lumber business in Norther Ontario at Nassau Lake, 35 miles west of Heart on the TransCanada Highway) was the most technologically advanced logging operation with Americans coming up to see it. It processed 1/2 MILLION board feet a year which was AMAZING IN ITS DAY. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA

    If you struggle with seasons and especially if you feel sorrow about leaves falling and winter is nigh, i have something that might lift your spirits, think like this, it's egotistical of us to not let nature rest for 2 seasons when they've given us so much for 2 seasons, they are drained and need to power up so we can benefit from them next year.

    We're retirees but still active so it's very much about the outdoors for us, and nature. Also the freedom people in Sweden have to be able to really get out into nature and enjoy it. I'm Scottish, in Scotland there's the Right To Roam which allows you to wild camp, hike etc anywhere. When we moved here to Ireland I see so much gorgeous countryside but there's no Right To Roam. We're moving in the Spring and I can't wait. Hoping to find somewhere north of Ostersund. :)

    Walking in snow, in Stockholm? Better walk fast then, since there's roughly one or two days worth of snow every year in Stockholm; and in the rest of the time it's mostly just rain and slush. You need to move a few hours north of Stockholm to get nice winters. Try Stockholm for a couple of years and then move further north - you won't regret it. ;-)

    • @LivingSwedish

      And it's only in major cities and Sweden is like 99% countryside. I think it's funny that people say it's unsafe and then you can live in places where you can walk for miles without seeing one person, yes Sweden is vast, you see this by going with trains.
