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!
As a Finnish person, I am probably the single person in Finland who hates Sweden the most, and I am the #1 person in favor to ban anything Sweden related in Finland (e.g Swedish is the 2nd official language in Finland). Sweden is the home to the worst liberals that have ever walked the planet. Most, if not every, utterly retarded, dystopian liberal concept can be traced back to Sweden. My problem with this is that because they're so close to us, their liberal bullshit often leaks to Finland and is picked up by our liberal green league faggot politicians and then festers here.
It's not all that hopeless though, I know some people from Northern Sweden, it's not that bad there, pretty good countryside too, but avoid Stockholm like any western capital, and mainly avoid southern Sweden, especially Malmö.
Thankfully, it seems that recently there is a kneejerk reaction among Swedish youths to the liberal globohomo bullshit, more and more Swedes are getting tired of it, thankfully it picked up among younger generations, so maybe there is some hope for Sweden
If you are truly going to be in a smaller place like you said so and study remotely or however, then sure, go for it, as I've said, Sweden has solid countryside, and life usually tends to be much better in smaller towns.
The course is entirely in person, but it's based in a small village, yeah. So that should be interesting.
I kind of hope it's not too remote, though, because if it is crazy there (it's residential, after all), I don't want to be too isolated, lol...
