Hello From Sweden!

[Leo Fender]

Hi all!

Just wondering. I am the only one from Sweden on these boards?

[Vbsiena]

Probably, most of us are from the US. Giants is from the UK somewhere (scotland?)

[Leo Fender]

Hmm, I am probably the only swede who is, well let us call it stupid enough to look at a lot of College Football games...;)

Not wanting to bump all these old threads, but is interesting how this forum has grown, from 2 eruopeans to a bunch of us and even 2 from Sweden.

[Leo Fender]

We are taking over this place!

[Tango]

[InjuredReserve]

It does seem like we are adding more European members than US.

[InjuredReserve]

Weirdly enough there are more posters from New Jersey than anywhere else.

[wraith36444]

Nah, Jersey is just called America's Armpit.

[Tango]

Generalized hatred for NJ over in Germany. This place has sunk to a new low.

Well I go to college full-time and am currently working 2 jobs. So I am a NJ outlier apparently.

[Vbsiena]

In America you can work for the government, put in little work, and easily make more than people in the private sector.

Dont know Matt. But, yea I know Walt and Schmitdy.

The only reason then name Schmitdy mattered to me is that I have a friend with the same nickname.

[Simonds]

Super old thread, but I lived in Stockholm in 2003-2004.

[Leo Fender]

Nice, you liked it?

[Simonds]

Yeah, I loved it. It was a great experience. It's surprising how different our cultures are though.

[Leo Fender]

I wouldn't know, I've never been to the US.

What did you do in Stockholm?

[Simonds]

Where in Sweden do you live Leo? Haha I was only 12 at the time, so I did what 12 year olds do. My mom was the main reason we were there, she got a grant from the University of Minnesota to study for a year at Karolinska Institutet as part of a researcher exchange program.

[Leo Fender]

I live in Stockholm.

And, I always forget how young people on these boards are... :)

[Tango]

It is a cultural difference.
At least between Germany and the US !

[BroncosCon]

I miss Europe in general. I'm sick of America because of the lack of culture.

[Simonds]

I live in Stockholm.

And, I always forget how young people on these boards are... :)

What do you live by? I lived in Ostermalm. (Sorry I don't have a Swedish keyboard.)

[Leo Fender]

I live south of Stockholm, in a suburb called Gubbängen.

[Vbsiena]

hej Hur är envar gör? JAG lärt hur till skriva på maskin Svensk. Vem nödvändigtvis till lära sig en andra språk i skola?

[azchargersfan21]

hey how is everyone doing? I learned how to type Swedish. Who needs to learn a second language in school?

You are really stupid

[Simonds]

Väd fan.

(men tack VB for the copyable characters. Jag har inte talat svenska på länge.)

[Vbsiena]

Jag lurar på om den här förarga Leo och Guru?

[Tango]

was zum teufel ?

[Vbsiena]

Anschauen mich. ICH könnt Typ Mehrfach Sprachen nun jetzt!

[chicagojay]

Love Sweden, beautiful country.. pretty expensive though

[mpg1995]

bang ming ming chow

яьщфҝұ ?

[Leo Fender]

Det är ganska svårt att irritera mig genom att skriva saker på svenska. Speciellt om man översätter det via en automatisk översättare...

[Simonds]

Not really, when you consider college and healthcare are basically free.

Fun story: my sister's boyfriend is here from Sweden right now. He's unemployed, and not only does he get paid a ridiculous wage to be unemployed, he gets FIVE WEEKS OF PAID VACATION FROM BEING UNEMPLOYED to be in America.

Where do I sign up?

[guru_92]

Where do I sign up?

Become a Swedish citizen, fake some sort of thing where you work to much and don't feel good cause you can't sleep and don't see your children at all, and that you're a wreck, mentally. Then you're good to go.

Also, Siena, that was one of the worst grammatical sentence I've ever heard. And Chicago jay, some things are really expensive, like alcohol and food. But we get free meals until we finish high school (who often is pretty good), free healthcare (as Simmonds pointed out) and I think Sweden is one of the best countries to live in if you're over 65. Oh and as Simmonds also pointed out, you can apply to get money from the government if you study at some college. And every family gets a bit of money every month for a child by government until they are 18, if they go to school.

[guru_92]

It's crazy that there's two swede's on this forum, considering how unknown football is here.

[Tango]

the 2 best things from sweden ?


ikea and girls :D

[guru_92]

With out a doubt. We also have a law in Sweden that's called allemansrätten (which translates kinda to all mans right) which gives every person the right to walk in the forest and so, no matter who owns the land. But we haven't really exported it, so it doesn't count.

Best things from Germany is beer and............................................... .... beer.

Well you are too young to know.

But qualitiy things from germany are cars ( bmw ,audi, mercedes, vw) and technologies ( siemens, bosch, miele ) ect.

and no other country makes better bratwurst.

and we have the original octoberfest

True, your cars are good and you missed porsche, but You got a tough fight with the Italians on who makes the best cars. On the other hand, Sweden has one of the most exclusive car makes in the world, Koeningsegg ;). You make good technologies, but I think the east Asia got you on that one.

Okay, you're right, Bratwurst is definitely Germany.

I counted in the Oktoberfest as beer :D

It wasn't anything bad when I said that you're country is famous for beer, it's just the first thing that pops up to my mind when I think of Germany, and autobahn, and now after World-Cup, how good your soccer team will be in the next years. It's scary

That.. was....epic. Truly epic. I loved it :) The swedish monkey talks just like person from Stockholm who doesn't speak perfectly english

[CallmetheBrees]

been awhile since someone posted in here and were talking about europe and such. just wanted to chime in about how much i enjoyed being over there (went twice to germany, austria, switzerland, and lichtenstein). I went with some people from school several years back and had a blast. Hope to go back when I finally save up enough money XD
