I know a pretty great travel destination in Sweden. Take the Øresund bridge to Sweden, then drive north around 70 km, to a town called Helsingborg. From there, you can take a ferry to a large island. It has castles and everything.

The reason it was so much traffic in Stockholm that day was because of a big marathon in the city center. Usually it dosen't take so long to get around in Stockholm.

The nature obviously. Sweden has vast forests and wilderness, so many lakes and streams, which is totally different from the lanscape of Denmark.

@user-lv6rn9cf8m 2 года назад

Sweden has landscapes like Denmark too. Like Scania, same thing as Denmark pretty much. It's the 5th biggest country in Europe, so it has pretty much every landscape you can think of. Flip Sweden length wise and you reach Sardinia. Surprisingly few mountains though.

Limited assortment of beers at Systembolaget? Well, you currently have 4 577 different sorts (and 13 592 sorts of wine and 4 176 of spirits and…) to choose from. Of course, you can’t find most of them in your local store, that assortment varies, but you can get almost all of them delivered to your local Systembolaget store, even in small towns, or “utlämningsställe” free of charge.

The nature in Sweden is very, very different from Denmark. You don’t have to go very far, just into Småland. Thousand and thousand of lakes, woods everywhere and big archipelago’s both on the east and the west coast of Sweden. Hiking, camping, boating, mtb, canoeing and kayaking are big in Sweden.

I grew up on the west side of Skåne, so I visited København more often than Stockholm, and I watched a lot of Danish telly. I moved to Stockholm 22 years ago and was a bit surprised that people in Stockholm understood Danish so poorly. Regarding water, I really love it when i come home to Stockholm by train and see the water from the bridge. Water is what I love the most about Stockholm.

@frida507 Год назад

Yes, it's a little bit embaressing when we have meetings with Danes and colleagues go "could you speak in English please!" I'm not from Skåne but think I can understand Danish enough, in a context, unless the accent is too wild.

@doltBmB Год назад

I find that the further north you go the harder swedish gets to understand. If you go to malmö it's fine, mostly comprehensible, but if you go to stockholm it gets hard, and if you go way up north to the ski places and forests it might as well be russian.

In place off catered lunches, Swedish employers gives everyone 'food-ticket' that can be used as payment for lunch at pretty much any kafé or restaurant. The also have one hour lunches and often coordinate with friends from outside of work to meet up. This system supports a lot of small restaurants and also makes them very competitive. I'm very envious, In Norway most people pack a few slices of bread in paper and eats that. :..(

As soon as you started talking about the traffic, I guessed what week you were there and what you said about the NATO ships confirmed it. This was not a normal week and Stockholmers were warned not to take the car to town that week. There was a big security meeting (with the UN I think?) and a big climate meeting, in addition there were climate demonstrations, there was a marathon going on and I have probably forgotten something more as well? So it's not a representative image of a regular week.

Very accurate descriptions and observations of the differences between Denmark and Sweden. When I, as a Dane try to describe the difference of the Danish and Swedish language to a foreigner, I say that the Swedish language is like the Elvish version of Danish 😄 ...Fantasy elves like Tolkien Elves, not the Christmas ones 😆 The melodic, sort of sing-songy style of Swedish and Norwegian always made me think of elves.

From a Nordic perspective, Denmark is the odd one regarding alcohol. Sweden have Systembolaget, Norway have Vinmonopolet and Finland have Alko. All state run monopolies. Not sure about Iceland, but I once heard a rumour that hard liquor was prohibited there until recently. Never fact checked it though. Personally I love Systembolaget. Fair prices, good service, huge selection in the larger stores (anything they don't have at home, you can order to your local store free of charge. Base selection is 2800 products and about 14000 other products is just a click away in their app). I get that it can be a bit annoying if you're not used to the concept of buying in advance and keep a couple of weeks supply of drinks in your home. But having lived here most of my life, I've never really grown a habit of buying alcohol on short notice outside of bars and restaurants.

@juuk3103 Год назад

Weird for the Nordics but not the rest of the world 😂 Danes love to drink and will it's kinda part of the culture, i mean some of the most popular beers are from here (Tuborg/Carlsberg) I remember drinking at age 14 at parties with parents observing

@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Год назад

They actually sells a very fine selection of wine in the shops in Sweden, to avoid people drinking alcohol! But entering most ordinary shops in Norway you will - as a first, find a selection of tastes to add to pure alcohol, and that may be why the Norwegians officially don't drink that much? But they make alcohol at home, it seems.

Iceland has ATVR same as Systembolaget in Sweden

@carlkolthoff5402 Год назад

@@VidarSaeberg thank you for that piece of information! I absolutely loved Iceland when my family went there on holiday in the 90's. But I was just a kid back then, so I didn't care about alcohol yet. Is ATVR super expensive like Vinmonopolet in Norway, or more reasonable like Systembolaget?

@casperbachjunckerkennild2592 Год назад

The Norwegian system, where you can buy beer in the supermarket and local produced alcohol over the limit, is the best compromise, I guess?

@77LCJ 2 года назад

the language: Swedish and Norwegian and Danish has a lot of words in common. The difference is often that the word used are different in hierarchy. So the word one would use in Danish exists in Swedish but is old fashioned or unusual and vice versa. The Swedes and Norwegians have the sing-song way of speaking whereas Danes speak much more germanic. I am from the southern part of Denmark, and find Norwegian and Swedish in particular difficult to understand when spoken (I do speak German relatively well) But have found that after a few beers I and they (meaning Norwegians and swedes) understand each other rather well. But language differences aside, we have more in common with each other than other countries. I have been in other countries as a military person, and in Africa or the US if there is a social event or some other thing like that, the Scandinavians tend to bunch up together(with the Finns as well, although their language is extremely different they are still "like us")

@Bjowolf2 2 года назад

@@user-lv6rn9cf8m Many Finns also speak / understand Swedish - having worked or studied there or they come from the Swedish speaking minority in the South or West of Finland. And the strange thing is that they are often easier to understand for us Danes, since they speak in a more "old-fashioned", slower and stacato way, where e-ve-ry sing-le syl-lab-le iss pro-noun-ced ver-ryy clear-lyy. 😉

@user-lv6rn9cf8m 2 года назад

@@Bjowolf2 Yup. Obviously. I should know having lived in Finland and with a Finnish mother that came to Sweden as a "war child". Also for the biggest part of Finland's history it was just Eastern Sweden and before then, the Swedes had more in common with the people in western Finland than they did with like the Scanians, Geats, Gutes etc. A much longer shared history there. Yeah, Finnish-Swedish is more old fashioned. It hasn't evolved as Swedish-Swedish has. And if you want to know how Swedes sounded 1000 years ago, there's Icelandic. Danish was more similar to Swedish back then too. But even today, the languages are so similar that you question what a language even is. Like there are dialects more varied in other languages than our languages are from each other Also like, someone from Scania understands someone from Denmark better than someone from Stockholm. Search for the video "Nyårsklockorna på älvdalska" for a truly alien version of Swedish. Much more different from regular Swedish than Danish or Norwegian is. I like Denmark but many of you guys have an horrible attitude towards Swedes, especially us from Stockholm. And it's weird, I'm good at languages but I don't understand spoken Danish at all. Sounds like me trying to speak Swedish but I have my mouth full of food :)

@Bjowolf2 2 года назад

@@user-lv6rn9cf8m Haha, well, so I have heard 😂 Well, you could probably learn to understand it well within a few months, since it's derived from the same base language - try with Danish TV + Danish subtitles, if you have access to that, where you live (?). Yes, we just can be bothered with all that "singing" ( melodic intonation), but prefer to cut our words short, often merge them and maybe even skip a few syllables or small words here and there, preferably while mumbling at the same time, to be able to speak faster ( by around 30 % on average according to some studies ). No, we don't - we just like to make a bit of fun with you, and then you are supposed to fire back at us, but unfortunately many Swedes often don't get our irony, sarcasm and subtle humour, and think we always mean things litterally, so they don't always know how to respond to this. These days it's 99 % fun and friendly teasing about language, weird words, Systembolaget, cultural diiferences and crazy political correctness and woke stuff run amok in Sweden. Well, the weird thing is that we in DK think Stocholm Swedish is easier to understand, since it's closer to the standars and usually has a clearer and more "correct" pronounciation, whereas Scanian is far more difficult to understand for most Danes with all its many diphthongs ( or triphthongs even 😂). Scanian is really based on Old East Danish with Swedish words on top of it, so it's a bit like going 3 - 400 years back in time for us, and we really have to focus, once they get really carried away. 🙄😂

@MrFtoudalk 2 года назад

The harbor in Copenhagen used to be busy like that, back in the day before the shipping traffic was diverted to Nordhavn and other places. We had ferries that went to Malmoe, ships unloading pulp at Papir oeen. Sydhavn was a major industrial area, so ships would go through the harbor from Oeresund, the bridges would open to let them through, and so on. Transportation over land is more economic, and less environmental impact also makes it a better solution. When I last visited home in 2018, I found the harbor was a fantastic place compared to when I grew up in the 60's and 70's... I have always loved to visit Sweden because it's so different from Denmark (landscape and wildlife), but I've always wondered why they thought that Systembolaget would curb alcoholism...

@dijikstra8 Год назад

It should be noted that there isn't that much freight traffic (except for trucks that go inside the ferries) inside the Stockholm harbor, they mostly go to Värtahamnen which is a bit outside the inner city, or even further south to Nynäshamn and north Kapellskär. But there is of course the occasional freight traffic to cities on lake Mälaren that has to go through Stockholm.

@richardnelson3227 2 года назад

Several years ago we took the ferry to Tallin. What surprised me was that it took 4 to 4 1/2 hours to get out to the open sea. There are over 40,000 islands in the Stockholm archipelago. Round trip was only 70 US dollars with a cabin. Both Copenhagen and Stockholm are great. I have lost interest in most American cities because of all the social issues here.

@thomassk7161 2 года назад

Go see the Wasa ship in STO. Also go the one of the small island in the fjord for STO and enjoy an evenning dinner near the water. That is so good. And next time go to Landskrona just a cross the Øresund. That is a very nice little town beautiful view to DK and there is also a small fortress there build by the Danes, nice little Sunday trip.

How cool to find your channel😊👍 In 1987 I was a college exchange student from Oregon who spent 5 months in Aarhus. Wonderful time! -Observations: In the 1980's, the US was becoming home to 24hr supermarkets and big box stores. We were getting lazy! I quickly learned the first Saturday afternoon in Denmark that the grocery stores are -M-F close at 5ish -Saturday close at midday -Closed Sunday It's as if I'd stepped back a few decades. You'd get bread at a small bakery. You'd get cheese at the cheese store. Meat at the butcher. As a cyclist, I loved getting around everywhere on the trails. The DSB ran regularly. The giant ferries were sailing regularly out of port. The people I met were the best part. Many Danish students had bought into the stereotypes of 1980's America (put forth by pop culture types) but were very welcoming to us into their lives, homes and country. Danes seemed like a cohesive "family" of just five million, whereas the USA was a humongous, gigantic melting pot of aspirational immigrants. Danes could shape society through shame & family responsibility, while a country of 300 million needs rules to "coerce" some folk into being civil and decent.

@@TravelinYoung And the Norwegians have 95 % the same words as in Danish ( in the main variant of N ( Bokmål = Book Language ) ), but with an even more singy-songy way of speaking than in Swedish - it is a bit similar to the Swedish intonation and pronounciation, but with far more variation in the pitch - and typically going up towards the end of a sentence. The Norwegians are also bit poor at spelling, but not nearly as bad as the Swedes. 😅 Because of the very similar vocabularies between Danish and Norwegian, it's typically very easy for a Dane to forget that he / she is reading a paper in Norwegian - and vice versa - apart from the odd peculiar word or expression here and there, which doesn't exist (anymore) - even though you might expect it to -, have a completely different meaning or is unknown to us, but can still often be guessed from the context or its typically familiar constituents.

Regarding boats in Stockholm, most people don't use ferries to get around unless you're very close to a ferry terminal on both ends which isn't very likely, we mostly use the subway. Maybe if you're going to Djurgården or something (but very few people actually live there), but even then you can just transfer to a tram that goes there from T-centralen. Even from Nacka Strand, I would take the bus to get to the city.

A funny thing about the difference between the Swedish and the Danish language is the completely different meaning of the same word. There is a Danish joke about a Swede who arrives at Copenhagen Central Station, finds a taxi, and asks to be driven to a quiet (roligt) place. The meaning is the same in English and Danish, but in Swedish "roligt" means: Funny, witty, cozy. The taxi driver drove the Swede to a cemetery. :D

@herrbonk3635 2 года назад

Jeg holder meget af Sverige, og jeg kan også godt li deres sprog. Jeg syntes det er " mere rundt " og lyder pænere end f.eks dansk eller andet nordiske sprog. 😊 Jeg forstår fint svensk, men når jeg taler dansk til en svensker, er min oplevelse at de tit slår over på engelsk. Jeg var i stockholm for 2 - 3 år siden i december " En forlænget weekend ". Det var første gang at jeg var der, og jeg må sige at jeg havde hørt at byen var flot, og jeg blev bestemt ikke skuffet. Vi boede på Hotel i gamla stan, og kunne gå rundt derfra og se byen og de museumer der var omkring. Vi tog " hurtig " toget fra Københavns hovedbanegård derop. Det tog ca 5 timer ( 8 stop ). Det var behageligt. Der var fine sæder med strøm til, og en buffet vogn bagved, hvor man evt kunne købe lidt at spise. ellers var der fri kaffe og frugt. Det var i December måned, lige før jul. Så jeg kunne godt tænke mig at komme derop igen om sommeren, for at opleve det også. Ellers har jeg været i Sverige forskellige steder på ferie om sommeren som barn. Det har altid bragt gode minder med hjem. 😊

Det är sant att svenskar kan ha problem med danska. Jag förstår danska lite bättre än svenskar generellt men det gör alla svenskar som har bott i Skåne (i varje fall när jag bodde där vilket var länge sedan då det inte var ovanligt att titta på dansk television). Stockholmare förstår ingenting av danska nästan. Det är knappt det förstår skånska 🙂 Stockholm är väldigt fint och har man inte varit vid vattnet i staden så missar man totalt Stockholms skönhet. Vilket mycket riktigt är som de säger i videon är något man kan missa om man bara är vid centralstationen, drottninggatan osv. Stockholm skall ses och upplevas från vattnet. Det är inte alls krångligt att ta sig till olika ställen så det håller jag inte med dom om. Båtar behövs inte om det inte är skärgården man vill ut i. Att åka båt med vaxholmsfärjan är förresten otroligt mysigt och bor man i Vaxholm, Nacka eller Lidingö så är det inte fel att använda. Många tider är det samma pris som att ta en buss.

Gothenburg is a wonderful city indeed! However, I would suggest postponing the visit a year or two because large parts of the city center is a huge infrastructure building site at the moment. Quite tricky to get around and less pretty than normal.

I have a really funny story about buying wine in Stockholm, when the liquor stores are closed. A german friend of mine was sure she could buy wine in the grocery store and came back in triumph with a big box. After I read a few seconds from the box I had to dissaponit her by telling that it wasn't wine, but she would have 30 litres after 6 weeks. I was a "Make your own wine" box set she had bought. We went back to the store and she got her money back and we had to buy light beer instead.

I lived in Jarlaberg for twenty years, it's next to Nacka Strand. I took the bus to inner Stockholm everyday. I only took the ferry during the summer at weekends. A lot was going on that weekend when you were there by the way that probably explains some of the heavy traffic. Big International climate meeting, Stockholm Marathon and all the Nato Military boats that gathered huge crowds of people. Half of the inner ciity streets were closed because of that. Anways i hope you enjoyed you're trip. Hordy Bordy !! :)

And of course the old "Glimmingehus", a castle/fortress from the Danish times and a masterpiece of defense gadgets! Cannons below the roof on top, a minor entrance with a staircase up to it on the wall and shooting and scalding fluid positions at all passed, from behind! Even many years after its built it was considered a strong fortress! I think it was built by a Bishop? And close by is "Ales Stenar". A huge shipshape from stones.

Having lived in Stockholm for 4 years, I would say that the traffic in general is not that bad. I always took the bus to the office and never really experienced big traffic problems. I had to cross a big part of the city daily. I know the ring road has traffic jams regularly, but other than that the traffic flow is quite good. There are also many alternatives as you mentioned. I usually took a tram or metro, also in case there were traffic issues. And the water is the number 1 thing that I absolutely love about Stockholm. Where I lived, not far from the downtown Stockholm, it was still very quiet most of the time.

I remember when Carlsberg in Denmark limited the workers to TWO FULL STRENGHT BEERS for lunch instead of unlimited. There were a crisis with people quitting their job beacuse of it. In Sweden, at least in my mind, you would not even consider drinking anything stronger than maybe a light beer for lunch.

As a Danish musician, I can say that not only are you allowed to drink on stage in Denmark, you are monetarily encouraged to point the crowd towards the bar (because you get paid a cut of the bar profit as payment for playing and it does well in getting invited back to play) and instead of being paid in exposure, we sometimes get paid in alcohol, free beers for the night etc.

@pollutingpenguin2146 2 года назад

Do you think the reason why Stockholm felt busier is because they don't bike as much? With all the bikes in Copenhagen, that has removed a lot of the people from cars and the metro?

I’m in New Orleans. You can buy any alcohol in grocery, gas station, pharmacy. Anywhere. You don’t have to go to separate places. Also, we have drive through bar rooms here.

The "singing" accent is quite present in the Gothenburg area yes but not so much up in Stockholm. As for understanding the language, I've spent a few decades in Stockholm and it is very very hard for me to understand Danish but I can get by if I have to. I think you would understand Swedish with some more time. Regarding Systembolaget, it is actually a great store although it is limiting to only have one brand store. They have a great selection of beer and especially wine. No issues really with the selection. The bigger problem is the fact that you have to get to one of those stores and they aren't open late on Saturday and not late on Sunday at all.

@chrisbagge3129 2 года назад

Why all this shipping? Look on a map. The Mälar lake divides the city and there are two two places to get through North/South. Either throug the center of the city or across Essingeleden. There is no land-connection East of Stockhom. If you want to pass the Mälar lake West of Stockholm you will have to drive around 50 km to the West to get to the road between Enköping and Strängnäs. The next pass-over is further 50 km to the West . There are however a number of railway / subway tunnels between the Noth and the South. This makes it obvious to use small boats "Skärgårdsbåtarna". The very hilly rocky landscape makes it as well very expensive to build roads. The absense of further bridges tunnels is because the Mälar lake / Saltsjön is very deep water, typically around 30 m. This has on the other side the advantage that large ships can sail all the way into the inner harbour. Most of the large ferries in the harbour are connecting to Finland and Estonia. The alternate are some very long road trips. Look on a map again. A proposal for somewhere to go? Try to go to Öland and Kalmar. It is not that far way from Lyngby. There is a very well known castle in Kalmar and there is a much less know but much older caste on Öland, Ekeborg. It is situated on Alvaret a very special nature due to the limestone underground a part of the Unesco Heritage.

I really love to hear how people form around the world reflects on living i Denmark, so I enjoy your channel very much :-) When I was young we had a joke ( with a little bit of truth to it ) and that was that to keep Copenhagen clean you should lead a Swede to the ferry. The reason for the joke was that there was a lot of drunk young people from Sweden in Copenhagen. In 82´I mowed to Malmö and my new friends invited me to a night out in town ,- What I didn't anticipated was that this night out in town was planed as a trip to Copenhagen so I had mixed feelings about the idea and declined the invitation. ;-)

Growing up in Jutland (so no Swedish tv to learn from) , it's only in the last few years, that I've been confident about understanding spoken swedish language.

@eivindkaisen6838 2 года назад

As for accents, Danish is the odd out amont the Scandinavhan languages: Its phonology has deviated sharply from the other two. The sentence melody seems to be more monotonous partly because Swedish and some Norwegian dialects are tonal languages (where words have different meanings depending on where you put the stress and vary the tone in the words) where Danish has not. Sounds that have remained hard (p, t, k, v, d, g) from Old East Norse, have become softened and weakened in Danish (b, d, g, w, ð {voiced th), w/o). However, written Danish does not refelect that change very accurately; hence the relatively small difference in the written languages.

Some people, like me, who live in the southern parts of Sweden go to Germany (Puttgarden area) to buy alcohol. There are "shopping buses" which cost around 700 SEK for the complete round-trip and you can bring as much as 100 kg with you back. I do this twice a year and it reduces my visits to Systembolaget (the Swedish alcohol shop) to zero. 700 SEK you say.. But is the trip worth it then? Doesn´t it make it all more expensive than buying it all in Sweden?? Oh no no no... Spreading the costs on each item (normally 11*24 cans + 12 liter bottles) makes it around 2,50 SEK per item. In the end everything is more than 50-70% off.. Good stuff :).

Can't decide if I, as a Swede, should be annoyed by your pronunciation of Systembolaaaget (should be a fairly long "a" sound), or if I should just nod wildly in agreement as the skåning I am (Skåne once belonged to Denmark) on how you found Stockholm and the people and dialect there. ;) Helsingborg - which, by the way, have their own little brewery with a few dozen sorts of beers - are not further away from Kronborg castle and Helsingør than 3-4 kilometers, and with the ferries going from behind The Tivoli almost every 20 minutes you can easily "tura" and get a refreshing dose (either in a bottle or in a can...) of Denmark on just about any day of the week.

The part about the Swedish language was very interesting to me. The Swedish chef was based on a dude that lived on the western side of Sweden close to Norway and had a dialect very similar to Norwegian. To me - from Stockholm - that dialect and Norwegian sound a lot like the Swedish Chef but I don't (with my biased ears) hear it with other Swedish dialects. I can see how Danes feel differently about that though because to me Danish sounds almost Arabic (not exactly by any means, but how it flows). I really don't understand Danish when it's when it's spoken.. a bit better reading it, but not very good even then - to the annoyance of my Danish colleagues who are very good at understanding Swedish.

Last time I needed a boat in Copenhagen I had been walking all the way from KU to the old shooting shooting grounds at Christiania and then up around and I needed to get in to town and wanted to to just look at the times for the boat by the opera house because I was tired and needed to get to Kongens Nytorv. I slipped on ice on the bridge and fell and busted my knee. Dragged myself to the stop post only to see that it would be almost an hour before the boat would arrive. I am not saying there might be a need for boats in Copenhagen to be a bit more frequent like the ones in Sweden or less varying in there time table, but damn I could have used not having to walk down to and over the bike bridge at that point XD ... I suppose I could have found a bus stop and gone around through Christianshavn but somehow that seemed just as far away and inconvenient. In other words, public transit on Amager sucks and one should never pass up an opportunity to point this out no matter how far fetched. /end. Thank you for coming to my Ted-talk.
