    Hi I´m Swedish what you refere to is smalltalk in general Swedes are very reserved and this is all around Sweden more I beleieve in the north. Smalltalk is generally sen as a waste of time and we normaly dont do it. If there is a topic that is more in depth and are worth puting time in then we talk a lot. It can take some time to come on a close level with Swedes so dont give up.

    Oh You think it's dark in Stockholm in the winter? Come to the north.. We have the lovely Polar night, where you sometimes don't see the sun at all for a month. But then again, in the summer we also have the Midnight sun, where the sun don't set at all. :)

    I mean you are so right talking about how swedish likes to talk surface topics only and that’s actually one of the things that makes this city so hard to live at

    You have such a soothing talking voice! (I am a woman in case that helps making it sound less weird)
    Also thank you the video, it is so interesting hearing people's thoughts about a new country after they move to it. I moved to the Netherlands in September and I loved it, but I am thinking of visiting somewhere else for the sake of experience, and Sweden is up there!

    This was so interesting to watch because I'm French but lived in Brighton for 8 years and moved to Manchester last August. I really dislike Manchester and I'm currently thinking of relocating to Sweden potentially. All the things you said you disliked about Stockholm are what I dislike about Manchester! Only difference is Manchester is neither pretty or clean and the quality of life is pretty low. So I might as well get those cons somewhere nicer :D

    You showed the "Stortorget" in gamla stan.
    Are you aware that this is the site of the Stockholm blood bath?
    This was in 1520.
    The central parts of Stockholm could be nice to visit but,
    I live in Västerås, about 110 km west of Stockholm.
    Each time I visit Stockholm I am so greatful that I do do not live in Stockholm but am just visiting.
    If you move out of Stockholm yuo will enjoy a higher standard of living and lower costs and a lot less crowding.
    I have been a lot in the UK in line of work. I have also for a short period lived and worked in London.
    I quite like the UK. Especially the country side.
    The problem with it is mainly that it is just too full of people.
    There have also been times when I have been verry surprised in the UK.
    E.g. one time driving up from Heathrow to Stratford there were light signs above the highway warning for severe weather.
    We were driving for quite some time thinking that something really bad must be coming.
    As nothing happeneded we said, there are a few snowflakes coming down. Can this be what they mean whith the warning?
    Fo us beeing Swedish this was nothing and we could not really at all understand the warning about severe weather.
    We expected a real blissard at least.
    Anyway, perheps you should look at other places outside of Stockholm.
    I truely believe that this could improve your life.
    If you would like advice and perhaps some guiding in the general lake Mälaren area just let me know.

    Nice video! Well, if you are still living in Sweden and you by now passed maybe two years, I reeeaally hope that you have experienced more of Sweden thant "just" Stockholm. Even if Stockholm is a fantastic place and one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, there is so much more outside Stockholm to explore and experience to get to know Sweden. So pls,..this spring and summer, travel around (ad not just to Gothenburg and Malmö then also :-) ) Enjoy! Cheers!

    I live in Stockholm but do you mean you want a deep answer a out getting to know people? Just off the bat? ;) As growing older I increasingly do have a problem with the darkness in the winter. Love a beautiful winter day but the ordinariy days just working and living... They are hard. Didn't use to care when being younger though.

    Get to the level that you can have a meaningful discussion with a Swede, and it will be meaningful. Have a meaningful discussion with an American and they dont really care. The minute you leave you are yesterdays news

    I always love when these videos have 90% nothing to do with Sweden but are just general "I moved to a capital of another country and can't find a room and the weather is different and people don't talk to me" videos.
    That's the case EVERYWHERE. That has nothing to do with Sweden. it's hard to find an apartment in EVERY major city in Europe and north America. That'd be the same in Paris or Vancouver. People in big cities also don't talk much and it's hard to make friends. That's the same everywhere. Maybe a tad easier in the south but big city folks are big city folks anywhere. Try Gdansk or Munich and tell me you have a friend within a month. Just won't happen.

    Svenskar är generellt inte bra på "smalltalk" . Smalltalk är för amerikaner och de som som inte har något intressant att säga! Jag skojar förståss men lite allvar menar jag. Och vi är förstås sämre på djupa diskusioner på engelska vilket många engelsmän tycker är bekvämt att tala eftersom svenskar är bra på engelska.

      Skall vi prata "smalltalk" blir det alltid om vädret. För kallt eller för varmt! För mycket regn eller för hett!
