and also

but our income tax is like

percent

and sales tax is only 8% lower than that so

we're still sad :(


and that pretty much sums up the best country in the Swedish part of the former Swedish Empire.

So let's be Swedish you guys and spread the love and surströmmingslukt

I wish I could become a swedish citizen. It's a shame your language is so damn impenetrable, or at least it seems that way.

Finally!

Anyway, you should add a Gothenburg meetup to the OP, pretty sure there are a bunch of us here! Would be awesome.

I don't know, I've witnessed people from countries such as Canada and Japan learn it pretty damn quickly. Also, everyone here speaks English, so it's not like you wouldn't be able to communicate with us until you've learned some Swedish.

can somebody explain why Sweden is so damn expensive?

The krona is really really strong right now because we avoided a big part of the European financial crisis (more like financial abyss) by not using the Euro and being pretty smart about some stuff, and the dollar is pretty weak so if your American it will be especially expensive right now.

Socialism.

I'm Swedish, proud of it, loving it.

I come from Östersund in the exact middle of Sweden. It's basically the definition of "lagom". Not too big, not too small, not over-populated, not under-populated etc etc.

Lots of Dutch folks are moving here and they learn the language quite quickly. You are welcome to join us, we can use some skilled immigration! :)

I work with a British guy, he learned it pretty quickly too and I imagine it is harder for him than for a dutchman.

I went to Sweden for a week earlier this year, visited Stockholm and Uppsala. I'm really itching to go back sometime.
 
In my life I'd like to visit sweden, and the other nordic countries. I envy what you guys have there, minus some racism.. but that happens everywhere.
