American reacts to life in Sweden.
A U.S. foreigner's view on living in Sweden (Swedish food, culture, lifestyle, first impressions, etc.) Living in Sweden vs living in the USA.
Comment below things you love about life in Sweden (Stockholm, etc.)!
#Sweden #Swedish #Stockholm
My gransparents used to have a summer house in the swedish archipelago. Those childhood memories i will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Kladdkaka: "Sticky cake"
150 grams of butter
3 dl of white sugar
2 dl of white flour
1 dl of cocoa
7,5 ml vanilla sugar
a pinch or two of salt
owen at 175 degrees celcius. Bake for 10-12 min. preferably in a spring pan. outside should be quite firm but middle should be very slimy. Serve cooled with whipped cream. keep in mind the cake isnt supposed to be any taller than 2-3 cm as there is no baking powder in it.
the number one most important thing is to MIX BY HAND very gently with a wooden spoon. You DO NOT want ecxessive air in your cake, that only makes it dry and not sticky as the name implies it should be.
you can add stuff to it if you want, crushed cashew nuts or bits of dark chocolate for example.
Swedish Gordon Ramsay out.
Your efforts are wasted, Americans only use metric to measure bullet sizes.
👏👏
Dude this feels like a hostage video. Been living here 18 years and all this praise has me concerned. Contact me and I will send help
He's fine. we told him so.
Haha 😂 ja 🙌
My thought aswell, specially if he live in Stockholm. This seems so staged.
i work with säpo the swedish secret police we have some questions for u can u come in to our hq in a week if u dont we will make u
Stockholm syndrome
The island is called Gotland, the biggest city on the island is called Visby
I was thinking about it
Your pronunciation is excellent, best I've ever heard of any English mother tongue speaker.
Hi my men how are Things my men they real ok
That's the guy from "Kalles Kaviar"
He finally grew up.....😆
Most swedes don't know about this. But the concept _lagom_ actually stems back from an older term _laget om_ in swedish. Meaning "around the team" or "team around" in english. Both meanings are sort of grammatically included. It goes like no one is supposed to grab more than sufficient enough for everyone in the team. Not too much or less, just enough for all people including its context. Explaining why this term has to do with both being *quantitative* and *qualitative* normative - in any social situation.
That's right!
No that is for some reason a common myth. Lagom comes from the old-swedish word "laghum" which means "according to the law".
... allegedly.
there is a swedish saying about weather "det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder" which basically means that there are no bad weather only bad clothes.
I'm reminded of this every winter. My secondary family is Swedish ;)
Yes, Sweden has good chefs and Sweden belongs to the top tier of good chefs, Sweden is often in the top 3 when it comes to the world's most prestigious cooking competition, Bocuse d'Or. Since then, there is great interest in the Swedish people to cook from scratch and that the ingredients should have good quality and preferably the Swede chooses organic ingredients. We Swedes do not go out and eat as much as you Americans do. In Sweden, it is common to have dinners at home with friends and acquaintances. Of course, all food is made from scratch, no cheating with semi-finished products. The same thing, we Swedes are good at baking cakes, pies and pastries at home.
Nice video!!! As I guess you allready know. You blend in 100% in Sweden. I would never have guessed that you are not Swedish :-) Even the pronouciation seem to be flawless!.... I also like that you brought some behaviours with you back to the states
I also want to praise your pronunciation. You could have mentioned music a bit more. We have a lot of composers and producers writing for american singers, and we are talking about huge american stars. You could have talked about Allemansrätten. But everything you said was so nice. A big thank you from me💕
the ``lagom`` definition got a bit odd in this video.
its more like , not to much , not to little. and it can more or less be applied to anything with a quantity. for example. 2 eggs, a slice of bread and some bacon is what u could call a portion that is lagom for most people.
Seems he’s been smitten of our beloved (Svea) Sweden 🇸🇪❤️
Lagom also means: lag=team , om=around. Take only so much so everyone gets some.
Although many people believe this, it's actually not true. It comes from "laghum", which is Old Swedish for "according to the law"

What a sweet recounting of Sweden.
And can I brag for a bit?
Sweden is actually the third largest export in music after the U.S. and the U.K.
And the largest per capita. I'm the least patriotic person you'll ever meet, but I *am* proud of our music.
I just accidently stumbled on this and decided to watch. I appreciate the fact that you (another person from the States - as we are the deserving title of DUMB worldwide right now) have a deep interest in another culture. When I saw your face and maybe it is the reason why I decided to watch, is BAM - hit me like a ton of bricks - this guy must be Polish. I am not of Polish decent, but worked and lived over there for 2 years. Your look is extremely Polish and brought back memories of me being there. Thank you for posting and the best of luck wherever you are.
Thanks for a really interesting video. You have picked up a lot if things during your stay in Sweden! 🙋♀️
Call the police over a pile of leafs....they wont come.
People who have leaf piles are suburban's or at least have houses and tend not to be the type that leave a note to complain, they would rather have a talk.
Usually people in apartments are the ones that do the note with complaints or call the police when a neighbor plays music to loud at night.
Lättare å svära och ta bort skiten själv ju. :p
Theres something called th Allmansrätt, means you can go wherever you wanr, theres no such thing as trespassing, as long as you dont disturb anyone you can go and camp everywere
As soon as I saw him I knew he was a Mormon. Clicked on the channel and it’s a Mormon channel! Handsome guy too. ;)
Ha-ha, I had the feeling he´s a jehovas wittness. We don´t have mommons here.
Fact: We have minimized scrap going to landfill like on a huge scale! In 20 years we have gone from 1.000.000 tonne a year to landfill down to 30.000 tonne a year. And of the the household waste, only 0,5% is ending up in landfill (and some of that is the ash that comes from burning the waste that goes to incineration, and when we burn it, we use it to get energy for heating and electricity).
And we release the CO2.
... and the island is named Gotland. Visby is the capitol of Gotland.
Hello it’s very interesting from the perspective of of sweet to hear what the American doctor lived here extensively has to say :-) I hope when you had a car you had a Swedish car i.e. a Volvo or saab also I think we callalllemansratten you should check out :-) and the reason why I am writing in English is because that I am using speech to text and for some reason after the last iOS updates I can only use it in English
Allemansrätten*
The name of the island is Gotland and Visby is one of the places on that island. 👍
One of my favorite places on earth !!
... I don't think I've used a paper map or buss timetable in at least 5 years.
Sweden is a a highly advanced country when it comes to IT and even the smallest county's public transportation will have an app that lets you just punch in where you want to go and it will tell you how to get there. Most also handles fares through their app and many of them are interconnected
About the egg´s when we have bought them of course we put them in the refrigerator.
Actually, eggs last longer outside the fridge. The reason is that they are not washed (illegal in the EU). You can Google it.
Lagom is kinda like a balance, but its an all around balance
Yes, "lag" = order or law. "I lag" and the opposite "olag"
Yes. It’s like, China has got the Dao/Tao.
For Sweden it’s the Lagom. It’s a way of looking for balance. Putting the right amount of pålägg on the macka, as an example.

Did you try snus??
Call the police over leaves? No...
Alltså han är så jävla söt, charmig och snygg, skulle lätt trott att han var svensk om han inte i titeln sagt att han är amerikan.
You really do get Swedes, and you´re really cute too, I could see us having pizza and watching a good show together just chilling and having fun.
This is what we call a classic stockholm syndrome case :D
I live in Sweden and i have lived ther for 7yeres
An american friend of mine told me the difference between Swedes and Americans. He put it like "Swedes are humble and rude, americans are arrogant and polite". There you go :)
"Janelagen" is the essence of "lagom". Look it up.
Jantelagen ;-)
@@polka19444 Jaja vem bryr sig hehe
@@lukaspersson447 Hehe sorry! Kunde inte låta bli.
Nice vid! Are you sure your not Swedish? You look like a Swede🙂. You all know Swedish music - Max Martin makes half of the hits on Billboard😑
Shrugs. He could be a musgeneration like me. 😉

We Swedes are a little funny. Some think that the word "lagom" is so special and unique for Sweden, meaning like; not to much, not to little. And we seem a little ashamed of that word. "It's so typically Swedish", some Swedes say, "like not having a definite opinion". But that's not true, at least not for me. I mean, If I put milk in my coffee I want it perfect or "just right", as you said here. Then it's "lagom". So "lagom" means "perfect" for me, just a more humble way to express it (and the more humble way is maybe very Swedish). I mean, the amount of milk doesn't differ between "lagom" and "perfect" in my coffee. Does it in yours? I guess not. So we should be more proud of that word. It's not a "lagom" word. It's a perfect word.
Nothing better than lagom. Perfect is sharp and so filled with expectations, full of pressure to reach a certain point. While Lagom is just the right amount of effort vs reward. Of comfort and discomfort. Of life itself. Lagom is a way of life and I truly think it has to do with our very clear seasons. Always enjoying what we have, for the moment, for tomorrow you might as well need to change tires to be able to go buy groceries, even if you enjoyed the warmth of the sun today, and the apples you enjoyed might be the last for the year if you didn't pick them when you had the chance.
"Just enough" translets well. So ofc Americans can understand
I love sweden
This guy looks like a Swedish villain in a Hollywood movie 😜
My #1 hero in Sweden is Max Martin, look him up and you’ll know why
Are you really American??? You look extremely swedish (native swedish)
I thought so to, but on the other hand there are a lot of people in the USA that has Swedish ancestry, over one million people migrated from Sweden to America 100-170 years ago.
Flokarl1 hahah to me he looks very american
Are you coming back?
And we have much less suger in our food.

jag lever in Sverige så vi är snel vi är inte elaka personer om du är Svensk då vet du at alla säger oj alla säger det
THERE IS A PERFECTLY GOOD TRANSLATION OF "LAGOM" IN ENGLISH, IT'S MODERATE!!! I can't believe people miss that.. We just use it for more situations.
Litteral translation don't always equal to the exact cultural relevance in languages. Having stuff in moderation doesn't translate into the societal spirit of lagomness, interpersonally it's about relation to one's context. Not just as an individual. Meaning _lagom_ doesn't really associate with the cultural meaning of "moderate" living. Even though these words are kind of synonymous, maybe(?). But here's an example;
*there's a political party in Sweden called **_Moderaterna_* (eng. "The Moderdates"). *In Sweden, this party is pretty much considered the antithesis of "lagom". Because they're rightist conservative, not even centrists in a political sense.*
Do you see what I mean? The bottom line is that it's a cultural phenomena, not just a word.
I’m a Swede and I really dislike lagom.
Why so nervous? This is fine.
I ate kladkaka 1 h ago
I ate to mutch

You dont live i sweden just survival
Lol immigration destroyed Sweden tf are you guys talking about 🤣
Sweden is far from incredible. If you grew up here you would know that it used to be much better.
No i i’am from sweden its great theres not much co-19
Legojonett Du har fel. Och med tanke på din profilbild så är du nånstans runt 10-12 åt gammal och vet inte överhuvudtaget hur Sverige var för 20-30 år sedan.
@@legan8140 Det vet inte du heller, eftersom hjärnan är skitkass på att vara objektiv. Du Upplever att det var bättre förr, men det var det inte egentligen.
Vi har aldrig arbetat så lite som nu. Vi har aldrig bott så billigt som nu. Vi har aldrig haft så billig mat som nu. Det har aldrig varit så bra som det är nu.
Och ja, det finns alltid små avvikelser men man tittar på helheten.
Ta bara en så enkel sak som att vi har bot mot sjukdomar som var omöjliga att bota för 20-30 år sedan!
@@Xanthopteryx Du snackar inte lite skit. Utvecklingen på bostadsmarknaden är av stor betydelse både för hushållens privatekonomi och för den totala samhällsekonomin. I Sverige har priserna stigit kraftigt sedan slutet av 1990-talet. Sett till perioden från 2017 och framåt har dock prisuppgången för småhus generellt följt en lite flackare bana. Men det har aldrig varit så billigt att bo som nu tydligen....
@@legan8140 Du menar när du var 5 år gammal? 🤣
Iam sure your country is beautiful but your taxes are through the roof. Tax rate of 50% over 40000kr ($4800.00 US) is crazy.......$50K US you would pay 31% 0n the 4,800.00 US and then 50% on 45,200.00 US for a total of $24,088.00 US.....Thats insane....
You don't have to worry about going bankrupt if you ever need to visit the hospital like you would in the US. Will happily pay the higher taxes and not pay for health insurance, college tuitions, and adding 30% to the bill every time I go to a restaurant. The fact that most Americans live paycheck to paycheck speaks volumes about the benefits of having "low taxes".

Dude, you are almost a native. Definitely more sauce than pie.
