@trav4oilers 2 года назад

hahah thank you Victor. I am the only mullet in Sweden so if I ever get on the news for being wanted, I'll be very easy to find :) Thanks for watching :) if you want more of my Swedish hockey adventures maybe you'll love my vlogs from this year.

@elisaa9981 2 года назад

The Swedish word for mullet is "hockeyfrilla" which basically translates into "hockey cut" or "hockey hairdo".

@Killerspieler0815 Год назад

@Victor Andersen - This is one of the better mullet styles & even the worst long hair cut is better than the totally boring subservience short haircuts ... surely a low ponytail (or better long open hair like Conan / Tarzan) would look better (especially on fit looking guys) , but this mullet is totally OK (see Dolph Lundgren as 1987 He-Man )

@mahnas92 Год назад

Just a quick correction about the "-berg" thing! Many cities has the suffix "berg", but Göteborg (Gothenburg) ends with Borg. That kind of translates into "fort" (as in fortification), and probably stems from very old times, where the city was small and surrounded by some kind of fortifications. There is a bunch of more cities with this suffix too, like Helsingborg or Trelleborg in Southern Sweden!

@oskarpaulsson5885 Год назад

Göteborg translates to fortress of the geats, geats being the ethnic group that occupied most of western sweden pre 1200

@rethla Год назад

In english it translates to burg as in Gothenburg, Hamburg, St petersburg, Edinburgh etc. The meaning is historicly a fortified town but nowdays it just means town.

@jamescagney2713 Год назад

It is about the same thing my friend Borg, Berg Burg.. It is fortress in essence. I happen to know that as I did a lot of research some years back Saxon is the closest middle match I think . We also have many other names that depict certain stuff in Europe like "ham" "ley"

As a Mediterranean person who's moved to Sweden, I used to focus a lot on the things I missed from home. It is very healing to see someone else point out all these good things about living here. I've stopped taking them for granted but it's a good reminder to find joy and a sense of home wherever we go. And the more we travel and see, the humbler we might feel as we become bigger people, seeing more points of view, values and ways to find joy than we used to know. Loved the video, good luck this hokey season!

Awesome video! 🎉 The historian in me is demanding me to just make a small correction. Gothenburg is not named after a mountain. Göteborg, where Borg means fortress/keep, was named Fortress of the Geats/Goths (Götar), goths being the historical tribe of southern Sweden. Gothenburg is in the province of Västergötland, Western Gothland.

@carlkolthoff5402 2 года назад

HOWEVER... :) The mountain he is filming is called Ramberget, which later was used as inspiration by a Swedish immigrant in the U.S when creating his new family name Rambo. Now more famous as a breed of apples and a role played by Sylvester Stallone. Both the apple and chararcter name is directly linked to that very mounatain on Hisingen island in Gothenburg. Edit: As Jonas Olsson points out, the mountain in the video is in fact NOT Ramberget , but a similar looking (at least in these pictures) mountain in Mölndal about 6km away.

I am a Sweden, and whilst I don't want to bash on my home country too much, it is not the place for everyone. Our culture will clash with some peoples culture, Swedes tend to be very socially reserved like Trav mentioned in the video. If you do manage to pierce through that part of it, you can definitely start loving it here. If you are very outgoing and naturally social, things will go well. Also, the best part of Sweden is definitely our commute. Let me attest to that.

@jeffgrace9267 Год назад

I am another Canadian who has moved to Sweden about 15 months ago - Gothenburg specifically (so cool to see you moving around the city as I don't think it gets it due) and work in Kungsbacka coaching swimming. Loved your insights I am going to add a little of my experience. You are very right about the small talk. But it is funny I don't know if it is because I am a novelty or just overall talkative I have found it pretty easy to get Swedes to chat and that has been a great surprise. I have heard that Gothenburg is very different than Stockholm and Malmo in that way. Dead on that Gothenburg weather is like Vancouver, but it is hilarious about the rain (I grew up a lot of years in Regina so I know the Winnipeg weather and what you are used to). Moving from Vancouver though last year was the sunniest winter I have had in years! My wife (who is a Swede) called BS (she lived in Vancouver for 10 years too), so I looked it up and Vancouver gets on average a month more of rain than Gothenburg. Having said that it freaking rains sideways in Gothenburg!!! That took some getting used to. Love that you showed the Circle K hotdogs!!! That is one of the first things that I tell people back home - they actually eat the hot dogs from Circle K (will always remind me of this Simpsons episode - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dWC2DvAxBQY.html). Even though I know they are good I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. You left out (you may not know) the second professional soccer team in Gothenburg - BK Häcken. In fact they won their first all Svensk Championship this year. My wife works within the football club so I feel a little connected ;) Also on the football end they have Gothia Cup a youth soccer (sorry to all the Swedes for calling it soccer) tournament of 1700 teams it is wonderful madness!!! Renting, yes it is expensive, but even worse is the wait. To get a firsthand apartment some people have been waiting up to 10 years!!! FIKA!!!! So wonderful. Kanelbulle soooo good. Skagen amazing and it truly is the land of Kababs!!! There are the Gothia Towers that you explain very well about being out of place, but you forgot that monstrosity they are putting up in Hisingen - I don't even want to talk about it, but it is the biggest eye sore ever. Great job on this you represent both Canada and Sweden well!!!

@@Anna-bq8gl You can rent what they call second hand apartments, which means that you are basically renting from someone who is subletting. To get a firsthand apartment it can take 10 years. It was crazy enough to find a place that when we moved even though we weren't ready to (just because we didn't know where we wanted to live) we bought a place. Lucky for us we found a place we love and lucky for us we were in a situation where we could.

@pushnpow Год назад

You gotta move further north if you don’t like the rain in winter! During winter we get a lot of snow in the central and northern parts of the country… and the occasional northern lights. You’re missing out on some of the most beautiful parts of the country if you’re not venturing north too. It’s cool to see how much you’re enjoying Sweden though, I moved here in late 2019 and don’t want to leave either.

This can be hard for me as I'm naturally very friendly and like to talk to almost anyone.

Jag har varit en introvert person hela mitt liv - aldrig känt behov av att umgås med folk så mycket, men på sistone vill jag verkligen lära mig att tänka om. Jag håller ögonkontakt med folk på bussen tills de tittar bort (det är alltid lika kul att se) och jag startar konversationer med främlingar som kan verka meningslösa. Men alla gånger då jag gör detta lär jag mig själv att det faktiskt inte är så svårt att bete sig som en öppen person. Om folk ser och hör mig sjunga på tåget till exempel, känner jag inte längre någon skam över det - för det är ju ändå sådant folk gör själva. Det känns bra att kunna vara sig själv. Nej, jag ska aldrig mer vara den jag varit. Om vi träffas ute någon gång är jag den som hälsar först! Kram från Skåne.

Wow, I'm so glad to hear you took the time to embrace your new environment and the culture around you here. Missing your loved ones is not so easy during your own adjustment period, believe me the distance is not the thing that disturbs the most during longer environmental changes. Thank you for all the good laughs you offer, when you describe things that are in our cities. While I, as a Swede, take these things more or less for granted. I feel a little ashamed when you so softly describe the abundance of the things around you, we are the lucky few. Your entire video and voice has a natural flow and reminds me to open my eyes even more to see our open landscapes again, thank you so much for your reminder of what is all around us. You're absolutely right that we Swedes don't like to chit-chat in the grocery store or something like that. Most Swedes plan their social time. If you live in a multi-storey building, you hardly talk to your neighbours, at best a simple Hello if you're lucky. When we use the shuttle, bus, train, etc. Most people "stare" straight into nothingness through the window, or at best down at the phone/computer. As a foreigner, it is more accepted to break our "social rules". Gothenburg as a city since its birth (before Christ of course) had contacts with foreign countries via shipping, for example trade in China. Most people in Gothenburg are helpful towards tourists or foreigners. If, as a Swede, I were to start asking the person I meet how her day has been, I would definitely get a look, she thinks I'm crazy. Thank you so much for a wonderful film and for sharing your experiences as a North American. See you when you're back yeah, I'm following your career as a hockey goaltender as I'm a big fan of #LGRW.

One thing about the Trams, when you get higher up in the country where I live, we don't have any trams sadly and public transportation drastically reduces in usefulness. Train prices go up and you have to switch trains a lot depending on your destination. Still have semi-reliable busses in towns but trains become relegated to just between cities. Which is a shame tbh, I soo badly want monorails... Loved this video ^^ Glad you enjoy Sweden! Explore further north!

@UserNameWasCensored 8 месяцев назад

I played hockey in Montreal as a youth and live in Sweden so I think this video really hits home... but... It's common that a person who moves to a different country compares the new country favorably to the former. In fact, there are myriad research articles written on the subject. The love/hate relation occurs in distinct periods. I remember when I moved from the US to Poland in the mid-90's, everything was so much better in Wroclaw than DC. And when I moved to Stockholm at the end of the 90's! Whoa! But one must remember that this is very similar to "being in love". When you're first "in love", everything about the person is great. Not just great but way, way better than your ex. Over time, one "falls out of love" - but maybe still loves - this object or person. It's the same for new cultures. So yes, I've lived in Stockholm for 24 years now and I think it's a great place to live. But there are tons (TONS!!!!) of things that are way better in the US. Or at least in New England, where I'm from. I can't speak for the rest of the country - which is freaking huge btw. And Canada is even bigger than the US.

The summers on the countryside is amazing in all of Sweden. Boatlife is a big thing during summer aswell, not to forget the caravan camper lifestyle.

I randomly came across this video and as someone who lives in Gothenburg and travels a lot in Sweden and Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark), many of the things said, here are pretty accurate BUT... there are STILL many hidden things that you would be surprised to find out once you settle, especially if you are just a regular expat/immigrant (not someone who plays for a hockey team, etc.) There is no doubt that Sweden is beautiful but but for tourists, it's an expensive place to visit, worth it though if you love nature. For expats, it's a struggle unless you are an Engineer, Software Developer,IT (especially in Gothenburg). Like any other places, there are pros and cons.

@trav4oilers 2 года назад

Can you expand what these things are? Thank you very much for watching Shaira. Sweden is awesome and yes, playing hockey here is something that gives me an unusual perspective but I do know I am beyond happy there :)

@ShairaB 2 года назад

@@trav4oilers Where do I even begin? Lol! I have a lot of expat friends here both non-EU citizens and EU citizens. If you go to a lot of these expat get together, you will hear a lot about the unexpected struggles of ordinary expats & immigrants here. Let's start with the basic things - 1. Opening a bank account ( EU citizens should be allowed to open any bank account in EU accdg. to law unless convicted of a money laundering crime,etc.) but not in Sweden. You need to have a "job contract" which is hard if you are a freelancer or let's say someone who already has savings & money & doesn't need to work for a while BUT here's the tricky part - "it depends which bank you go to and who will handle you" . If you are lucky and you come across the bank staff who are in the mood then you can get an account. Lol! 2. Booking doctor's appointment - There's a joke among expats - "Just don't get sick" One time I was talking to a German friend and she was so excited to finally get a doctor's appointment! (She only got it because she asked her company doctor to help her!) 3. Job Market - As mentioned, if you are not an Engineer, IT specialist, Software Developer or in any of those related fields, finding a job is a struggle. For a country that speaks good English, fluency in the Swedish language is a must and even if the position doesn't require it, the chances of that job going to a Swede is higher. 4. Race Pay Gap - Everyone talks about pay gap between men and women, but no one talks about race pay gap. Swedes are generally paid higher than other nationalities. I kind of understand that, but if someone is doing the same job and work,then why pay someone more or less because of their "race"? 5. Hidden racism - Generally, Swedes are nice people! But hidden racism is always there. It's like sugarcoated because the country has accepted a lot of refugees. It's not even about being white or something. For example, my French friend works in a Fashion company and she says - there are two couches - one for the Swedes and one for the non-Swedes and that kind of makes her feel not so welcome. I think there was no ill intention in that, but because a lot of Swedes tend to stick with themselves, this comes off differently to others. One of my Filipina friends said no one talks to her at work because most of the staff are Swedes. She ended up getting therapy bec of that work environment. * As for me, I'm pretty lucky to have very good connection with Swedes. I have a few Swedish friends of my own who are amazing, but most expats don't (unless it's their workmates) These things happen everywhere in the world though, so it's not just Sweden but I think it would be nice to know that befor someone moves here. Some of the people I know said they had totally different expectations then reality kicked in too late so they didn't know how to deal with it. It pays to be informed! Tack
