American Reacts Amazing Places to Visit in Sweden - Travel Video | Joyous Travel 

Completely agree!

Yeah, the worst I have hear for sure! It was very very off!

Standard American arrogance/ignorance.

I stopped watching after he butchered Avenyn and Bohuslän. It even took me a couple of minutes, with context, to understand Bauw hass lann

​@@loris-bismar..me, too... The guy comments on f'ing EVERYTHING.. 🤨🤬🤯🐂💩

and Lund, how can you speak about Swedish history and not bring up the oldest city in Sweden?

yea, that swedish meatballs came from turkey is a big cap.

kåldolme and (swedish) meatballs are different things. have you never used spices before?! minced meat is the same all around the world.. its the seasoning that makes it.

​​​@@itsgabeherekarlsson6341Who are you addressing? Roxpace? The person wrote that they are very different. 😊

@@itsgabeherekarlsson6341 Hahaha, give me a break, I know exactly what they are

You like to make fun of Americans not pronouncing Swedish place names perfectly, but you can't even spell foreigners yourself...

Yes, why not!

@@onomatopoetisk If i don´t kill myself before that...

Go for it!

Yes, the ö-sound is used in English all the time, but expressed with different combinations of vowels. Like ea in earl, i in sir, u in fur, e in fern, etc.

@@albinjohnsson2511 Or like the first i in Birmingham!

I agree. That he did not even say the word "viking" when he spoke of "Gamla Uppsala" is blasphemy.

But why would he ? Those mounds are from 500 - 600 AD. And spans from "folkvandringstiden" thru "Vendeltid" The viking age oficially strated 793AD...but ok, it probably started way before that.

@@ProgMannen Because of their cultural significance. Myths, legends and folklore is important you know. That's what people used to believe.

​@@ProgMannen Viking was something you did, the people and traditions was the same even before the so called viking era, it is very easy to misunderstand.

And they also singled out Kungsleden and Abisko separately when they’d already mentioned Lapland…. 🤔

And how many have'nt "turat" from helsingborg to the danish neighbour helsingør...

It was in the intro.

@@Jonsson474but not in 1-10

Also, the viking Rurik founded what today is Russia.

It’s important from a trade perspective since most of the Swedish sea trade go through Gothenburg. Other than that, no. 🙂

Well... that one did not really turn out so well 😮‍💨 I hope they soon rebuild it ❤

@@beatricenilsson4530 so true

The narrator pronounced it like ”sluts kogen”. Oh well 😅

Well Finland was also included but Norway and Russia is blocking Finland from having an coastline too.

I can be wrong but I don’t believe the border of Finland ever went up to the Arctic sea. It didn’t when what is now Finland was the eastern half of Sweden. In 1809, when eastern Sweden was lost to Russia, there was a piece of Norway and Russian land between Sweden and the sea. Maybe if there were changes to the borders between 1809 and 1939 that I’m not aware of. Finland wasn’t formed until 1917 when claimed independent from Russia so if Finland had a coastline in the north, it must have been taken from either her Norway or Russia after that.

@@Jonsson474 Finland actually received Petsamo in the treaty of tartu in 1920 so we had Access to arctic ocean from 1920 to 1944

@@sertre123 i see. I learned something new. Thank you.

🤝

I believe he intended to say that Sweden didn’t have a coastline to the Arctic sea. Northern Sweden does indeed lay within the Arctic circle.

@@Jonsson474 Ikke kun, men en del af. 😀

@@cbjmurer Sant.

@@Jonsson474 Kun for at fortælle, at jeg har været der. 😀

@@cbjmurer Jag är född där. 🙂

I wonder if you have travelled enough in the US to be able to make this comparison. People I know who have usually have a very different opinion. Their saying that its much better in Europe than in the US. And in Western Europe the general standard is also much higher, there’s more parks and green areas also in the suburbs etc. . And yes there was a point in time when there was a severe lack of housing in for an ex Sweden and there was a lot of old houses that were in really really bad shape so they did tear down too much of that to create a vast amount of new modern apparments with runing water, indoor bathrooms etc (which a lot of people had never had back then and were really happy and grateful for). Some socialdemocrats associated the old houses with severe poverty and the extremely low standard that a lot of people lived with/had lived with throughout their lives. So they had good intentions but I agree that they went to far. (At the same time I think some of those old houses were in such bad shape it wouldnt have been possible to restore them.) Today most politicians talk about the great value in keeping and restoring older buildings. If anything was totalitarian it was the societies we had in the begining of the 1900’s and before that, before socialdemocrates hade any power, when only a small part of the population were allowed to vote and most people lived under very tough conditions with very little power over their lives.

@@memoblom2112 The architecture is often better in Europe, at least in the cities (villas is another matter). But it's despite socialism, not thanks to it (as some Euro-loving americans tend to belive). All of the charming quarters existed *before* socialism took over in the 1930s...

I think its wrong to blame socialism for this. Its cheaper to build similar houses everywhere. To get new materials, new balconies, colours and so on is to expensive. Yes socialism did have implications ones, but today I think it is just straight up the market.

This is not accurate at all. Anyone reading this comment, please understand this is not correct.

@@lovisalindstrom7920 So the actual truth is "wrong" to speak about, if it harms the holy socialists... Study the history! Very few people do nowadays, unfortunately, but that's what I did. If you cannot find the good books, the evidence for what I said are easily found in stadsarkiv and landsarkiv!
