![10 Things in Sweden That America Will Never Have! [ American In Sweden ]](/img/1.gif)
As an Norwegian this sounds quite normal to me 😂
det samme i danmark
All these reports from Nordic countries, they could just talk about the north. :)
Love to our neighbors! /🇸🇪
Samma i Finland.
Sweden is a wellfare state. We pay a lot of taxes but we have a lot of social benefits completely unknow to Americans
Lol, maybe 15 years ago this was true. Now we just pay high taxes while everything gets worse.
@@BooleanDisorderHonestly i just think you are being very spoiled and unthankful
We still have free education, medicine and health care, not much has changed, I have some mental issues from time to time, no problem what so ever to get a free psykiatrist to help me deal with my problems via science based kbt. @@BooleanDisorder
Not true @@BooleanDisorder
@@BooleanDisorderhas it gotten a bit worse last 20 years? Yes, why? Cause the left has lost its power and the right is sweeping in and tries to turn us into a USA junior where both healthcare and education is a privilege.
I work in a hospital here in Sweden and we never aks the patient what bloodtype they are we always check blodtype with a so called BAS-test that covers ABO-system and some other stuff. and its only valid for 5 days after that we will take that test again. If it is an emergency then the patient is given 0-negativ blood that can be given to more or less everyone.
I have a tag with my ABO blood type in my jacket, because I am silly like that. Would that be ignored and you would type my blood? In my case it doesn't matter as I am AB+, so I am a universal receiver.
@@OscarSommerbo yes it would be ignored, if you will recieve blood for the first time then we take what we call a "blodgruppering" that shows if you are ab+ or b+ ect and that test you don't have to take again its registred but we always take a "bas-test" thats valid for 5days, so if you get a blood transfusion and then you get another one 10 days after the first we have to take the "bas-test" again, and if it is an emergency lets say you are bleeding out then the hospital will give you O negativ blood.
@@Narjoso I assumed as much. As an old blood donor, I of course was told my ABO blood-type, so I have known it for a long time. The nurses really hounded me to give plasma, but without telling me why. Turns out that AB blood-type makes me a universal donor of plasma, but nobody told me.
A Knäckebröd-purse? As a Swede, I have never ever seen or heard about this...
You keep the knäckebröd in its paper "housing" and put that in either a tin can (not exclusive for knäckebröd) , or in the little hatch under the oven...
Likewise.
The little hatch under the oven? Naw, that’s made for storing the oven tins, baking trays etc. Just leave the crisp bread in their paper wrapping and store them in a kitchen cabinet or larder.
@@NennaC
Yes, but you keep the bread there as well. (Still in its wrapping)
But the main purpose for the compartment is actually to keep your food warm.
There's actually a Knäckebröd crossbody bag/purse.
From Leksands knäcke.
It's navy blue leather, and retails at Skr 2600; (!)
🤪🇸🇪 😁🇸🇯
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131
Då blir man ju grundlurad av kapitalismen 😄😉
Never heard of a purse for knäckebröd and I’m swedish 😁 If I ever saw one I wouldn’t buy it either.
Ingen aning om vad han pratar om.
Asked my wife to be sure, looked at me like I was an idiot. Someone pranked him?
Same here, I had to look it up. Yes, there is a purse made of leather to put this bread in. An odd item. How, did he find it ?
If you look it up it's online for only $2,600 crowns
@@Lexxinsweden Yeah! But it is a rarity. The real thing with knäckebröd is knäckebröd. It is very important and swedes have different tastes. You want you favorite knäckebröd. It is actually a big reason why not move abroad.
Actually, you have the right to have four consecutive weeks of vacation during June-August.
But, your employer can, if they want , decide which weeks.
And if special circumstances apply, that right can be revoked.
Hahahaha! Welcome to my country my friend.😀 Hope that You enjoy it.
History of summer vacations. Industry found out that if all companies closed down at the same time, supply chain was not disrupted for the rest of the year. Families with two working members could spend vacation time together. Both unions and companies saw the benefits.
..it has roots back to 1917, and th battle between industry and Unions .. wich resulted in whats was called "Industrisemester" (Industrial/Factory vacation) ..in the start everything closed for 2 weeks .. factoris, supply chains and everything ...
the term "Industrisemester" is somewath styill used but it doesent exist any longer .. ppl r now free to take vacation when thay want... still summer is a time many does.. and to some extent it effects smaller companies so thay actually may have to close because sevral key ppl r missing .. if u have 5 employees and can do with 4 barely, and 2 or more takes vacation... what to do... ofc nowdayss we have staffing companiess u can hire workers for short periods, wich is one solution...
@@Patrik6920The law still states the right to have four (out of minimum five) weeks of vacation in the period June-August. This can be overridden by agreement or special circumstances.
@@PastorCastor ..and a consecutive of 4 weeks at any time under normal circumstances, which doesent mean ur forced to take vacation in june - August
I was just considering eating some lakritsglass when this video came up. :D
Lol sorry
We also named the liquorice ice cream “Nogger black”, to match the original brown nougat “Nogger”. 😅😂 We (the public) did eventually notice it though. 😂👍
haha the industrial vacation months..sweden is practically dead under 2 months and everything goes on halfspeed The capital Stockholm is empty and it feels like the only one in town are tourists
And u forget the swedish silence.. in the middle of a bigcity its still kind of quiet everywhere ..only the whitenoice from cars in the background, many ppl get a shock how quiet sweden is
That super salt liqurice is kind of unique for Sweden and Finland ill think
The Netherlands are in our club too! 😃
Norway and Denmark too.
Thank you for your list, it was interesting to hear as a Swede. For the next post consider raising your camera a bit, calls for a better view ;-)
Lost item retrieval depends on where in Sweden you are. In Gothenburg there is a much lower percentage that you will get your things back. Kaviar means fish roe paste. Not caviar.
WHAT? liquorish ice-cream is the only on ei by. and about 50-70% of all candy i by is "liquorish" your in Scandinavia now. eat it! ;)
Salty licorice ice cream is so good my man 😋
Not fully swedish yet for this comment
@@Lexxinsweden You’ll get there 😉
This made me laugh!! Especially the part about the Black licorice ice cream! My favorite of course, not only ice cream but everything with licorice ❤️ Welcome to Sweden btw
And as a lot of other has commented: take my snus and there will be hell to pay 😛
It's interesting to hear your observations, many things are different between our countries. Hope you like it there in the deep woods of Växjö! Cheers!
You can fire someone for drug or alcohol related stuff, but only under certain conditions. they've done something to cause serious disruption or damage or threat to the company or staff, just to name a few. Usually, these things are discussed with the union beforehand. The rehab chain is strong, and although all employers are required to follow it, there are plenty of loopholes they can jump through. Especially since it's usually cheaper and easier to just pay the fine than deal with all the rehab stuff. There are 0 consequences for not following that law.
Black liquorice is an acquired taste, as is all food. Eat a little every day, and after a while, you'll come to love it. A fair warning, though: liquorice, if consumed regularly, is poisonous. You can get liquorice paralysis by eating it too often. A small treat here and there is fine, just not daily.
We can and do take vacations all year around. It's just that summertime is when the weather is the best and, well, schools are out. Traditionally, many factories closed in July, so that's where that's from.
..yes liquorice poisoning is no joke, it can kill u ... but in small ammounts it nice..
Well, Snus has actually existed in the US for about a decade or so now. Swedish Match fought hard to get into the US market, and they did. So Swedish snus is now sold in the US. However, I think that during the time they tried to get in to the market, Phillip Morris (or whomever makes Camel cigarettes) made a snus of their own, in the format of Swedish snus. There is a major difference though, where the American made version is highly carcinogenic as it is not pasteurized and has a ton of additives. There's even a 60 minutes episode about it.
Snus... But we dont smoke anymore. When I was younger, everybody smoked. Thank you for one fine reaction! Greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden. Take care and stay safe. 😊
HAHAHA! Snooze!! I'm an American and I'm truly not coming for you, my friend, but your pronunciation of it is so wrong, but it is hella funny! Anyway, I enjoyed your video. I've been here for 13 years and I really love it here. I am now a dual citizen, so I find it very easy to live here. Good luck on your journey!
There is a limited amount of toys you can have here? Have I missed something?
He must live somewhere remote. It sounded very weird to me too.
There is one ☝️ toy company in sweden. Most got bought up by toys r us before they went bankrupt and now its only Lekia.
@@klasbagger7968 Are you talking about physical stores? There are quite a few actually although they are not chains like Lekia or Toys 'r' Us. Besides that there are all the online ones. There are no problems finding toys to buy for Swedish children.
Awesom vid man 👍🏻
Do you think smoking is better? At least "snusa" don't bother anyone else around them. I dont use it, but i think that is waaaay better than smoking.
i use to smoke but i have quit more htne 7 years ago
Swedes are in time because if its -20 degrees outside and you have to wait 30-60mins then your not happy. Which is why spanish or other people from warm climte dont take time so strict
Love your channel as a Faroese married to a Swede living in Sweden. Number 1 is crucial 😂I have a hard time on this.
All Scandinavians loves licorice in all forms😅
Thanks for sharing!!
I happily pay our “high” taxes that are not higher than EU average. Both my daughters were delivered through caesarean and we stayed in hospital 2 days each time and it cost $20 each. I will never leave this country
This is great Lexx, keep doing the videos. About punctuality tho, it's more complex: people make "dates" months in advance. Spontaneity is sort of unknown. Friendships - it's more like "diplomatic relations." But you have fresh eyes and a fun style.
You got my hometown Växjö behind you and that is cool, I love Växjö! great videos you got a new subscriber here
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for your vid.
You're welcome
Snus is common in US too. The bags or fine cut just as in Sweden.
Ölxäv is my favorit place.
Växjö is the name
@Lexxinsweden I think you missed the joke, the text is mirrored in the video ;)
@@Lexxinsweden yes I know 🤣
No. We dont use AM and PM in sweden, we are far more civilized than that ;)
What? No to liqourice ice cream?! Mjukglass with liqourice sprinkles on top. Heaven!
Though, us Scandinavians/Nordics are famous (I think) for loving salty liqourice.
I (just a guess) think that it's mostly swedes and finish people who like salt liqourice.
The absolute best!
@@victorbachman958 don't leave us Norwegians out of it... =(
Snus is banned in the whole EU. But they made an exception for Sweden. Because if they did not. We would never had joined the EU. Take the snus away from the Swede and Valhalla would be calling down on you.
Homeless people in Sweden often work as magazine salesmens and in Stockholm you often see people sell ”Situation Stockholm” the magazine is about the homeless and almost everyone that Sell them is in some kind of homelessness.
TRY THE ICECREAM!!! Its good
Kids also have free dental including free retainers if you need em.
1. Punctuality and spontaneity (is that how you say it?) - Yeah, I grew up before cellphones, so at least with me, you don't call and say you're gonna be late. BE THERE, ON TIME. We've all managed since we were 7, diagnoses or none, so why shouldn't you? Spontaneity is appreciated when it comes to dinners. Just call someone at 4:45pm and ask if they wanna eat out.
3. Fired because of substance abuse - Yes they can, if you are discovered to have a problem and you refuse to undergo treatment.
6. Salty licquorice ice cream - LOL I just bought that for dessert for tonight!
18. Snus, not snooze! It rhymes with muse :) snuus.
Well done!
When you go into the hospital for an emergency or operation they automatically check what bloodtype you have this is in order to doublecheck for mistakes as well as some people can change bloodtypes as well as rh plus or minus. It's just cheaper to double check and it costs nothing extra if you are in the system for healthcare
everyone in sweden plays guitar as yngwie malmsteen
Its a part of my job to drive food that stores cant sale to homelessshelters so the people who needs it the most can get it. Thats something I am very proud of. I live and work in Sweden :) Al the food is perfectly fine but most of the time the package have some small issue like a printerror or so.
Gald you are doing such to help
Ice swimming and salty black licorice are the finer things in life. Greetings from Sweden.

Wow 😮

Spot on😂
Thanks
I had no problem buying Snus when I visited the US, surely not as popular as here but it´s available and legal in the states.
It's definitely not a popular demand in the United States
Black liquorice ice cream with raspberry. Yum. Love two duvets on the bed too.
Ja nu blev man ju sugen...
To buy cigarettes or snus, in Sweden, you have to be 18 years old.
About Snus ... it is sold in the US as "White snus" (tobacco free / ZYN) with a much higher nicotin content than is legal in Sweden.
Edit: Everybody that donates blood (or has donated) know their blood type. Anyone who needs a blood transfusion will get the correct blood type at the hospital, we do have laboratories at the hospitals
Zyn is available in Sweden also and I do not belive that there is a legal limit (atleast not anymore) that dictates the amount of nicotine that is ok in snus since we can purchase snus like Thunder X which have a nicotine content of around 45mg/g in stores compared to Zyn in the US which is a maximum of 9mg/g I belive and white snus like Supreme that contain 120mg/g nicotine (I belive it's American from the Zyn craze there but it's also available in Sweden although havent seen it in stores yet, only on websites).
I work in a store and have researched snus and nicotine pouches on occasions out of curiosity. I've seen nothing about a legal limit on nicotine content. In fact, Siberia snus is sold in Sweden, and that's the strongest brand of all (of tobacco snus) with a nicotine content exceeding 40mg/g, though that's not sold in grocery stores from what I've seen (presumably because it's an absurdly high dose) and only online and in tobacco specialist stores
As someone who don't use tobacco product I prefer ppl who use snus over cigaretts, while the former is rather nasty especially when ppl leave it anywhere but in the trash, it doesn't affect ppl around you as much as the latter. No risk of having to breathe that shit in. xD
As a Swede living in San Francisco, I could by snus over the counter in the mission district.
This is interesting and had heard these before so this was like confirmation. Btw where did you get the prints hanging on the wall behind you in the video. Also, just a friendly suggestion from a fellow American who wants to live in Sweden, have the camera up higher. Thanks for sharing!😊
From a company called Galarix years ago, my wife ordered them. And thanks for your advice
@@Lexxinsweden thank you and your welcome. I enjoy your videos 😊
We usually don't use purses for knäckebröd. And if we do, they cost about 300 SKR.
Yes I know that's why I found it to be mind-blowing to me
Knäckebröd is called crispbread. The best breakfast food!
I don't know about best, but it's extremely easy to preserve and can last for years making it the perfect backup.
@@znail4675 best as in, unlimited variety and never goes old. 😎 And very tasty.
And most homeless ppl you see are not swedes. They are from Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary. Snus is less harmful than smoking. That's why it's so common.
Swede here, I just want to say that I agree that I find normal "snooz" with tobacco discusting, and chewing tobacco sounds horrible, but I do really enjoy tobacco free "snooz" that still has nicotine.
The thing about blood types,
I got explained to me by a doctor about this that even if you know your blood type they will test you to make sure, the big reason for this, is that your type can change, like going from positive to negative.
It can change? So I looked it up. Yes but rare and caused by bone marrow transplant, transfusion or rarer bacterial infection.
Me misremembering if the nurse I asked really said O- 15 years ago is the real reason
Never heard it could change. I have heard about people being in the country without permission (or who for whatever reason feel the need to lie about their identity) claiming to be someone else, which is bad if the other person has a different blood type on file. Or you could simply misremember. Given there's time for it checking the blood type is safer for everyone.
Here I thought, that as an American with all the "getting shot for trespassing" talk, you would have your mind blown by "Allemansrätten" or "the right to roam" where you are free to walk and even camp, on all land, including privately owned land, as long as you respect the private home boundaries (i.e. don't camp in the backyard) and when you leave the camp site you restore it to the way you found it.
I always enjoy seeing Americans reactions to that when they find out ^^
it's a bit more restricted here in Denmark, but many land owners dont mind u going there, if's a large piece of land, as long as u are respectful to the paths and nature
Mind blowing as an american, haha. Welcome in sweden
Pretty obviously yes? What is mindblowing will always be based on your previous expectations
Hur går det med din Svenska?
It's good enough to defend myself in a conversation but not good enough to hold one
@@Lexxinsweden Låter lagom 😆
I know my blood type. If you become a blood donor, you will be told. Although no doctor would ever trust my word without always checking that it is correct.
As a fellow donor, I can confirm that I was told my blood type. But I was also hounded, without explanation, to become a plasma donor. Years later, I figured out that I am a universal donor for plasma (AB+) if I was told why they wanted me, I would have considered it.
Note... if you are drunk or high at the workplace they can fire you right there based on blood test....
not really true, they are obligated to offer treatment. if you refuse that, then you will be let go.
Drug or alcolics can't be fired due to thier addictions. True, but not entirely so. Your employer is by law forced to do what ever they can to provide help (get them to doctors, book appointments and so forth) for that employee, however it is still the responsibility of that employee to accept said help. If you choose not to and keep on as usual your employer do have the right to fire you. But thats quite a lengthy and complicated process.
Also, many over here are complaining alot about or healthcare system. I can tell ypu from own experinence. When the shit hits the fan and rhe doctors and researchers grinding their gears to tru and save your life, its a pretty fckin awesome healthcare system. I wouldn't wanna trade it for astronomical bills and healthcare insurances with a gun pointed to my head.
Suede here .. love these americans who tells the world ab swedens way of living :D but am curious ab Where you buy knäckebröd for over 200$? Never heard or seen a purse for knäckebröd either😅😂 and Ii just looove the licorice icecream but its coz I love it as candy too. ❤

Limited edition of 60 but since it sold out they might make more. Out of stock and cost 2600kr
What about the mirror image Stockholm and Växjö behind you?
My wife is from Stockholm and we live in Växjö
As a Växjö local, I was surprised by the image on the wall. How do you find Växjö coming from abroad? :)
I would say no tipping. But in the large cities there are a bit of tipping encouraged but no demand.
2:05 Because you cant fire someone for a sickness. That is discrimination and addiction to drugs or alcohol is classified as an illness in sweden
If you don’t follow the treatment plan it is cause for termination.
The addiction thing, it is not fully the truth. They can fire you, if it effects your job. Most companies will first to try to help though.
Uh... the toys and games. Limited how? I really dont understand that one. Expensive, yes, but limited?
The bloodtype thing. Most people dont know it, but it is in their medical journals, which is all hospitals have access to. If it would be unkown, they use O-, as almost everyone can accept that bloodtype.
Btw, snus is called snuff in english :) Or dip.
They can't fire you *because* you have a substance addiction, they can fire you if you don't do your job properly, which may or may not be indirectly related to your substance addiction. Your blood type may or may not be in your medical journal, depending on whether it's been checked and recorded during an examination. If it is, both you and medical staff have access to it, just like with all your other health-related data.
"People in Sweden go ice-swimming". Well.... SOME people do - not this girl Nevah!
"Caviar in tube" - most of them are to slaty for anything.
And... WHAT is this "Knäckbröd 200$"? Never heard of it. Can't see that would be any market for it anywhere.
welcome to sweden m8
Dunno why but in my uni all profs were always late for exactly 10 minutes 😅
Should be 15minutes according to "akademic kvart" tradition.
Most countries in the world take better care of their citizens that the US does. Sweden isn't unique in Europe, nor the world. The US is the outlier.
No1 is so true.. I rather be 30 mins early than 2 mins late.. 😅
😅
Most of us don’t go ice swimming.
Its very health tho, your body goes into shock and it strengthens you.
You can get fired for drug or alcohol use if it's on the clock. I work in a nursing home and I know people get fired because they were high/drunk on the job. What kind of employement determined if they will be first given some kind of help or not.
Snus and coffee is the breakfast of champions.
Liquorice raspberry icecream is the s$#¥! Y’all are missing out.
The rest of the points are fair. Maybe with the caveat that some of the social security and rehabilitation stuff are things that you might get, or not, depending on particular circumstances or the judgement call of the relevant civil servant. It’s not automatic.
cool video, interesting, but the subtitles suck, did you use some AI for that.
Yes I did

They have snus in the US too.
It just came to America. They didn't have it even a year ago.
@@victorbachman958 They had snuff (snorted) and chewing tobacco, Snus is a recent addition in the US, the attempts to spread in Europe has been met with legislation banning it, the latest iteration of Snus is the "white snus" that is tobacco free - not nicotine free. Getting around many laws regulating tobacco - it is just a matter of time before it get's folded into the tobacco regulations.
Interesting to hear from an other perspective how you see our culture 😊. Yes, we are punctual 😅.
Totally!
@@Lexxinsweden And that is probably related to the quietnes of your journeys... we tend to respect other peoples time and integrity. If you agreed to meet someone you are not supposed to keep them waiting, and that is paying respect to their life. Enjoy your future here!
you know if you think it´s expencive with toys and games. It´s cheaper and almost no limit online. There´s alot of online stores in Sweden.
Quiet on the bus? We're cearly not riding the same bus line in this little town of ours. Try riding the #1 bus. There's always some a*hole shouting, listening to musik on speaker or at least 2 people talking lodly to someone on the phone, while on speaker.
Must only commute when the kids are asleep or in school.
Maybe we live on two separate cities to be honest
@@Lexxinsweden Nah, we live in the same town in Småland. :) However, you may have a better experience than I while travelling by oublic transport.
You are right about bloodtype..Im Swedish and don't Know.. We got problem with healtcare. but Everybody Trying to dö it better..and lichiursh..Don't eat to much😊❤
Take my snus and heads will roll. (Snus can be bought at age 18 along with cigarettes, but I speak from experience that you ALWAYS find someone dumb enough to put them selves at risk to buy tobacco products for a minor. Personally I never do it.)
Also, a company is obligated to lend their hand and offer you help to sort the addiction out of the picture. It does not mean you can simply keep doing it and let it affect your job. If it goes on long enough and you don't get your shit together you WILL eventually be fired. If you have an alcohol problem which is a legal drug so to speak, they can tell you to stay off alcohol entirely and send you to clinics for blood tests to check if you are still drinking. So it's not entirely free to do whatever you want.
i didnt know that
Snus is snuff btw. Though americans tend to think of "drysnuff" (torrsnus) that you sniff instead.
Comparisons of tax levels between the USA and Scandinavia are not entirely easy to perform. A lot depends on which US state you live in, marital status, number of children and so on. The taxes for ordinary, working people in the USA are not at all lower than the taxes for ordinary, working people in Sweden. However, the Swedes get more for their money. However, you will not be "punished" if you become rich in the United States. The opportunities to avoid tax are significantly greater in the US if you are rich, Attitudes towards taxes are completely different - in Sweden it is not accepted to evade taxes.
Swedish "rich" people do their fair share of tax avoidance. Mostly fiddling with companies "owning" their wealth, or change residency to various tax havens. And you have to get very rich before you get "punished" and/or work a job paying insanely high monthly wages. The tax loopholes are not as numerous or obvious as in the states, but they do exist.
@@OscarSommerbo Clearly they do. Greed is a serious disease. But attitudes toward taxes are a serious problem in the United States. You have a long way to go before you are anywhere near the problems of many other rich countries.
number one: yes - leaving someone waiting for you isnt fashonable here - it is rude , number 6 - HELL YES! number 9 - again hell yes! kalles is great on eggs(or knäckebröd), number 14- well that is mostly when the weather is the best in the year , 17 - yes,again it is rude to annoy someone else whit unneccesary noice and 18 -Snus..cant live whithout it,first thing before i even get out of bed in the morning,i get a snus,have been a user sinse i was 12 years old, pushing 50 now
I used to be a blood donor, so I know my blood type, I have it written on my Blodgivare-kort.
i have it on my old swedish army dogtags as well =)
6:35 .... "Aisle" became "owl"....LMAO. No we don´t have an owl for every dairy
Sorry that was a typo thanks to caption generator
@@Lexxinsweden I thought it was something like that....but still funny...*s*
The aisles are not what they seem. 😂
The drug policy in sweden isn’t that great. In fact it is falling way behind most countries in Europe. To get help you have to have 6 months of documented addiction. And if you get on a program and relapse, which is super common for people with addiction. You can get kicked out, now with the additional addiction of counter medicine. Health care in Sweden isn’t centralized so the help you can get and the type of medicine differ from comune to comune. If they put you on a medication that dont work, You might have to go to Denmark to get the help you need.

Snus is banned in the whole EU. But they made an exception for Sweden because they were afraid that Swedes would go full viking mode and burn down Brussels and create their own EU with blackjack and hookers and snus.
Yes that’s true we will
It's interesting how cultural traditions can influence policy decisions!

This is true

Love from Norway 🇧🇻
a old german saying "5 minutes before time, is the punctuality of a soldier!!", must go for Sweden too, so get in line and stand to attention!!
As a swede snus is a must .. I need it so i dont go postal at work (j/k) but it calms you down a bit .
Always funny to see americans reflections when they live here in Sweden. Tip for topic : how shopping and going out to a pub or dinner is here compared to US . Whit taxes and tipping .
Keep up the good work ( i´ll hit that sub now )
Thanks for singing the praise of Sweden, but school shootings? That's only a significant problem in the US, no other country has this problem, really. Sure, there have been school shootings in other countries, but only in single incidents.
I nearly spit my coffee when he said it with such conviction. Like schoolshooting should be a norm. XD
I always thought the norm was to care for our children.
good day am a pastry chef and thinking to move to Sweden can i get a job
We have a shortage of pastry chefs here so you might actually. But I don't know anything about moving to Sweden from any other country (born and bred here). But definitely worth checking out
