6:30 That can contains FERMENTED baltic herring ( surströmming ). It smells lika disaster. But if you throw that can away and instead eat PICKLED herring ( inlagd sill ) you'll probable like it a lot. Inlagd sill is sweet and tart and a bit salty and does not smell bad at all. I love it.

Aah you saved me the trouble haha

Note on Blond/Blue.. there are, by average, more of them in Sweden. But that is only about 10% more than USA as example. As far as Neutrality, until joining NATO, Sweden was listed as a formal neutral country and would not take sides in a conflict except as peacekeepers.

I have lived in Sweden for 26 years from the USA

IKEA is very handy for families with children. Buy your furniture from IKEA when the kids are small. When they are old enough to care for furniture and other things in your home, the IKEA furniture is probably a bit worn and battered and that's when you go to other furniture stores and buy what you like. Regardless of this, they do have some nice things so a mix from different stores is probably what people have in their homes.

Nice debunking of some popular myths, even if I would've liked a bit more detail. Anyway, as a 100 % genetic Swede, I have blue eyes and very dark blonde hair - certainly not anywhere near the yellowish thatch some think all Swedes have. The darkness... Southern Sweden is on the same latitude as northern England and Scotland, and you never hear people talk about those regions as "dark". Sure, up north - especially above the Arctic Circle - things are different in wintertime, but the majority of Swedes live in areas with the same amount of daylight as, say, the north of Scotland. As for IKEA... I live in a mid-sized city, and the nearest IKEA is over an hour's drive away. Haven't been to it in ages. Herring... Pickled herring is a traditional staple at festivities like Midsummer, Christmas, etc, but fermented herring (surströmming) is more regional (north of Sweden). I've never had it. Nudity... In my 59 years, I've never seen a nude person in a public area. Skinnydipping in a more secluded location is one thing, but if anyone went about in the buff in public they would most likely be arrested. Neutrality... It has been more like non-aligned in peacetime and non-belligerent in time of war. Politically and militarily, Sweden has been solidly in the Western camp post-WW2, and now we are a full NATO member. English language skills... While most Swedes possess basic English as a result of it being the first foreign language we study, the proficiency in it varies wildly. It mainly depends on how much you've used it after leaving school. Most can manage a basic conversation in more or less accented English if pressed. Some of the older generation (say 70+) avoid it if possible. Then you have a large group with varying degrees of fluency. I'm married to an American and speak the language almost like a native speaker. Anyway, it's good to see some tired clichés debunked.

Its this about stereotypes.. its when one dont know that much! Is swedes happyer, not if one ask swedes.. and dont ask becuse then one have to listen to all there life problems! Its rather that other populations would think they get happy if they get what we got in Sweden!!? In anyway.. there is some drawbacks.. it rather make sweden an "extrem country" in a world scale, and its about values! The first values is 1, Independens, 2, Independens, 3 Independens.. the rest is any other "value"! Our kids leave there parents home around 18-20, to be "Indipendent" and to compete in a higly competetive "job market"! Soo, we do have one of the moste highest "single households" and to top up that altso "the moste lonlines households"! Its hard to live in sweden, becuse every other is altso "Indipendent", our lifstyle is much indoor living half the year or more! Makes it dificult to find new friends or a spouse! Then there is "areas" where its even more dificult to be fully integrated to swedish society.. so you dont need to walk those areas, becuse someone alredy done that; "Swedens most "dangerous" Ghettos . Malmö - Rosengård and stockholm - Rinkeby." kzread.info/dash/bejne/iHeAu6WiqdDAm6g.html&ab_channel=KishMyWorld
