It's looking very likely (not certain, but increasingly likely, at least) that I will be moving there in a couple of months, to do a course, for 10 months.
I know that people will have varying opinions on Sweden, and its politics - certainly, I'm not a fan of a lot of it, but... It's definitely quite different to Aus, so there's that.
I would be living and studying in the sort of "Greater Stockholm" area, I guess. That part of the country, anyway (a couple of hours away), in a fairly small place.
I'm fairly well-versed in Swedish culture (more so than the average Australian, I would argue, anyway), having dated three Swedish women, having a few other Swedish friends, and... Exposed myself to Swedish media, I guess. But yeah, as an extremely sociable person, I think that is going to be... Interesting. I fully expect to not fit in, but that's ok. I am prepared for that.
But yeah, wadda ya think, people who've been there/are from Europe, or maybe have family there?
I'm not really going there "because Sweden". That's part of it, but it's also a course that is only offered there, so I figure why the hell not.
Would appreciate your thoughts, even if they're just "commie shithole", lol!
Isn't Sweden 100% infected by econmic migrants and completely fallen by this point?
Completely fallen, I would not say, but the cites and larger towns are infected. Still you can find areas (in the more wealthy parts) that does not feel the effects.
They're being deported, at a slow rate but still.
Yeah, I'm from Bradford ( Well known migrant town ) and with the way things are in Sweden now I'd think twice about going there. I went on a trip there once and it wasn't terrible back then or anything considering, but I have no idea how potentially bad it could be now with the migration issues. Germany is another one to avoid like the plague on that front as well as France.
There's a little known mental condition called Paris Syndrome which isn't talked about with regards to France. You have these asian tourists who go there and go specifically to Paris because they got fed all the 80's and 90's films and footage of the city and they have actual mental breakdowns because of how much it's changed due to migrants taking everything over.
Of course, the articles when you look this condition over completely gloss over the migrant issue but that's typical of the media. When I started travelling around my country in earnest and just going past the border of my home town it was pretty stunning how drastically the ethnic makeup of an area changed.
