Swedish facts! Top 10 Facts About Sweden Reaction - Teacher Paul Reacts - Travel with me 

Yes, in Sweden parents are paid every month to have kids. Once you are 18 that money is payed to you instead. And if you go to college or university you also get paid and may take a government administrated (and very beneficial) monthly loan. It's free to study for Swedes and EU citizens, but the loan pays for rent, food, books etc. Living in Sweden is expensive and this way you don't have to come from a rich family to study.

Hello from Sweden. These were some weird facts to point out and many of them weren't explained very well, but they're correct at least (but a fishing license is required in many places).

About Sweden hills, it was the nature and weather that reminded him of Sweden.

Yes, Systembolaget is owned by the government. It is actually a remnant from the time prohobition was in fashion. Sweden voted no to prohibition with a hairline margin, but the competing suggestion was instead to keep regulated alcohol consumption by limiting the stores where you could buy. Back in the 1920s rich people and high social status meant you could buy more too. This is of course not true anymore, but just a fun fact.

Hi Paul, this is going to be a rant... first time checking out your video and lucky that since i´m a Swede. Fact wise this is okay, but there is a lot more to it then spoken here... there are a lot more companies that are major players that also are from Sweden (Volvo being one, but is now Chinese, Skania, Dice and more...). The moose part... one of the biggest problem is that the moose is big and it´s heavy, most car crashes with moose is because the car sweeps the legs and the body falls on top of the windshield and roof crushing the people inside, The Sami people is a bit of a "hot" topic in Sweden because they get a lot of tax cuts but they are native to this land and the rest of the Nordic, Skolbidrag (a.k.a School Grant) is something that is given to each child's (until they graduate gymnasium at age 18-19 (no idea what that is in Brazil)) parents every month to help with school supplies, cloth and food (that´s at least what it meant when i got it). Systembolaget is a government controlled business (no matter what they say) that was created to keep control on alcohol distribution in Sweden. It´s a nightmare for companies wanting to get in to the business but actually good and bad for the people, most systembolag has a rich inventory and pretty knowledgeable personnel working so if you don´t know what wine will work with your dish you will probably get some assistance and it´s a lot cheaper than at a bar in Sweden. I really like your video and i really like the teacher in you going out of your way just to show how big a Moose actually is! Keep this up!

I am aware of the moose, but his one is Canadian, which is a bit larger (Yes, I do hunt mooses). Volvo makes and SAAB made cars from Sweden. Yes, Scania and Volvo also build trucks and busses. SAAB make really cool figher jets though. You need license to fish in lakes, but not in the sea (Baltic Sea and Nordic Sea) Chewing tobaccos is not like snus. Systembolaget is because we are in the Alcoholic belt (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland and Russia). So that is why we have Systembolaget. And that store should not sell lots of booze, they restrict the selling of booze to young people. The number of different bear, wine and liquers are exceptionell in Systembolaget stores.

6:00 Nothing against the sami (they are great), but they are no more "indigenous" than the Swedes, Finns, Norwegians, or even Russians. That's just one of those political "truths". In fact, they arrived in Scandinavia several thousands of years later than the other groups.

Hi Paul, it may interest you to know that in the late 1800's as many as 10000 Swedes immigrated to Brazil. Most of them ended up in the region of Misiones, Rio Grande do Sul and later founded the small town of Villa Svea (now Obera) in Argentina.

Fun fact: We have about twice the numbers of moose (mooses?) than we have squirrels. And that's despite we hunt about 100 000 of them every year.

Well some Are a little poorely explained and some are that not of a big deal to mention compared to other things. But first one thing that was wrong. In the begining of the video they have a flag.on top of the Sweden. That flag is wrong, sweden is a blue flag with a yellow cross.. not the other way around. I would mention some Swedish inventions: • Safety matches • zipper • adjustable wrench • GPS • Pacemaker • Three-point seatbelt (and yes Volvo is Swedish just as SAAB and Koenigsegg (worlds fastest production car) • Flat screen monitor • Computer mouse • Telephone handset • Celsius temperature scale • Dynamite • And the famous coca cola bottle

You can fish from the shore free of charge in the five biggest Swedish lakes. Anywhere else (or if you're fishing from a boat in any of the five biggest lakes), you have to pay a fee.

1. True 2. Just the tip of the iceberg (Yes volvo was Swedish, some chineese company owns a majorityshare now) 3. Isn't everyone connected now? 94% seems low. 4. Sure only 2000 true Sami, but there are lot part-time Sami people. 5. Weird entry 6. True, parents get "barnbidrag" childmoney for the first 2 children, then "flerbarnstillägg" multiple child add-on, which is a lower sum for every child after the first two. Currently 1250SEK U$D140 every month, 9-year school is then mandatory, usually age 6-15, then at age 16 "studiebidraget" takes over, same sum but requires the kid to attend school. 7. This one is a bit complicated, but it allows you to walk on anyone's private property, as long as you follow 2 basic rules "do not annoy, do not destroy", small scale fishing with a fishing rod is mostly free, but some lakes are getting sour so a lot of restrictions have been put up to not exterminate all life. Picking msuhrooms and berrys is totally free along with sticks from the ground (you are not allowed to cut trees), you must also be quiet enough to not disturb and of course no littering. 8. SNUS is more sofisticated than chew-tobacco, it goes directly into the blood and not through your belly or lungs like ciggarettes. Taking a SNUS is like drinking a beer instead of a shot of vodka, comparred to ciggarettes. 9. Systembolaget is a government owned company, it stemmed from a compromise between widespread alkoholism and making it illegal. Late 1800's most workers were payed half their salary in beer. 10. True, but any country cold do this if they wanted.

Love your videos Paul!! Thank you! These are great!

Goddagens! You ask about a few things and I will try to answer. I am Swedish and live north of Stockholm. 1. The euroasian moose is smaller than the Canadian but is still a superhugh animal. The reason for the accidents is that their legs are thin and when you crash into it the legs will brake and the body will thrust into the windshield of your car. 6. Yes we have studiebidrag and when you are older you can apply for more money and lones to be able to studie. 8. Texas = chewing tobacco, Sweden = snus (powder or portions). 9. We are verk liberal overall but when it comes to alcohol or drugs our laws are strict. Due to historical alcohol missuse we have Systembolaget as a method for making fewer alcholics. We can fish in most lakes but it has becom more usual to but a permit for sertain lakes.

JAS. The militaryaircraft Brasil have is swedish..

if you learn about the problems we had with alcohol in the late 1800 you will understand why it is this way.

It is totaly wrong about you can go fishing anywhere, you do need to pay for fishing licence.

Teatcher Paul. You are spot on. You are also very welcome. I would hug you if I met you in person. Very unswedish of me.

U need a fishing licensce on some lakes but mostly they have signs that shows u how to get one

About fishing we need to bye fishing card for some lake and rivers. But it differ from place to place. And about this is fishing for your own feeding not for fishing like an industri.

Hi from Sweden. Yes, all the fact are correct but maybe not thoroughly explained. Youngsters get paid to study just because politicians wants as many as possible to get a high education. And Systembolaget, owned by the government, is the only stores that sells alcohol. It's monopoly, but on the other hand we have over 20 000 sorts of beer, wine and liquor to choose from.

Systembolaget is not a brand of alcohol, just the store name. We probably have the biggest assortment because of this.

Moose is the name i North America. Here in Scandinavia we call it Elk and it is a little smaller variant then its cousine in America. But they are still very big.

The moose size is also why it's so dangerous to hit with a car and it's not simply because of the weight, but as it's so high that the front of a car will just clip the legs and all the mass ends up hitting windshield and the people behind it. A small detail about Sami, they are not indigenous in the same sense as native Americans or Australias aborigines as they actually came to Sweden after the "main" Swedish people, they just moved into the more remote areas. They were still oppressed and such, so get some compensation and say in land development.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, you do need a fishing license (apart from the 5 biggest lakes and the coast)

Prince Carl Philip will design one of the rooms in the Jukkasjärvi ice hotel this year. Saw it in the news like yesterday or something. He´s interested in design, and has designed things before together with one of his friends. (Perhaps the friend is the real designer, and the Prince just give their projects a lot of PR though, I don´t know.

Studiebidrag to study. And now its 1250 swedish kronor a month. My daughter gets it all to buy the little things she needs or wants. When she turnes 18 the money will go directly in to her own account. Systembolaget for alcohol is a way to lower the alcoholic use in a destructive way. Trying to lower abuse due to alcohol and in some ways trying to protect for example children. Comes from a time way back when men even got payed for workong in strong alcohol and the working class drank large amounts. So to try and prevent alcoholism and abuse due to drinking heavely they put all booze in one store and came up with laws around alcohol.

You need a fishing licence in most rivers and lakes. But on the costs and in the great lakes you can fish with hant tools without a licence.

Volvo is Swedish. But Volvo Cars was sold to the Chinese a good while ago. You are not allowed to freely fish. It is heavily regulated in many places. You need to buy a license. Snus is Swedish. Not the same thing as chewing tobacco. Systembolaget is owned by the state.

When you say the government owns the system company, it does not sound good. But of course you are right about that but we see it as we all own it as we are all that part of the state. We get all the benefits from what the state owns and also from our taxes, which means that we do not see it as a problem

The majority of car deaths is car vs moose.

Most places require that you purchase a fishing license. The government controls all sales of alcohol so you need to go to a bar or another country if you don't want the state to gain the profits.

we do need fishing license in sweden for owned lakes but fishing on the coastline or our 5 largest lakes does not require a license.

Yes, you do need a fishing license in Sweden...

Because of the deforestation of unprofitable leaf forrest, and the industrial planting of evergreens (pine and "Christmas trees"), Swedish moose are actually getting smaller. No leafs and lack of sunlight means no berries either. So they have to eat less nutritional food.

There were problems with Swedes drinking too much. Systembolaget is own by the goverment. They have the same system in Norway and Finland too.

That money thing ... I could not exactly make out what they called it, I think he said "Studiebidrag" wich would be something like a Study grant or something like that, I know here in Norway students can also get like a government grant to help pay for bills that comes when being away study. It is not much, and I think that (I might be wrong ofcourse) it is originally a study loan, but if you pass the class, it gets turned into a grant instead or part of it atleast. We also have some government help so after your study and you want to get a job, there are incentives for you to take a job in the north of the country, there your student loan gets a yearly writeoff so they (government) grants you a set amount a year to write off your studentloan, so eventually while you get a paid job up in the north, the government basically pays your studentloan for the most cases.

Everyone seems to answer any questions, and of course fishing is not include in Allemansrätt. Then to pay one to study, no swedes think about it like that! Its this rather, we are a very competative country, one have to compete to go to university. Then you get a grant and can apply for a study loan. It means that its paybacktime, your parents alredy paid a lot of taxes, they dont need to support you, it cost them nothing if you is going to universety. That means that we have a high social mobility.

There are between 20000-40000 Sami living in Sweden. Of those, about 2800 are involved in reindeer herding. I suspect that it is the number they got for this video. Yes, you get a small amount of money when you study. It's not enough to live on but you will also get to lend money from the state. And since the schools and universities are free, what you need money for are some place to live and food. And books if at the university level. You do need a fishing license to fish in most lakes and rivers, with the exception of the largest lakes. "Systembolaget" is run by the state. The reason behind this is that people drank a lot of alcohol and and the morality at the beginning of the 20th century. Interesting things with this arrangement are that they are not allowed t discriminate brands and that the price are decided by the alcohol percent that makes for example expensive wines cheap-ish in Sweden.

In Sweden ser get drunk Evert fridag or saterday. Swedish People drinks lite of alkohol Thern, Systembolaget is biggest in the Hole world The ordinarie sortiment of beer is over 3.500 and of vine about 2.000 , and more than 10.000 yuo can order.

Snus should be pronounced more like with the u in use, not like snooze. If you are interested in more historic famous swedes you can check out Carl von Linne' (carl linnaeus) father of the botanic naming system. Alfred Nobel, the Nobel prize. Ivar Kruger, the "match stick king" whos suicide "started" the depression 1929. Edit. I was obviously wrong as he died in 1932... but his death caused some kind of economic crash.

Yes we need a fishing license for every lake. It is very cheap, but still that info in the movie is wrong!

Sorry för översättningen

You do need a fishing licens

I think Sweden is one of the most expensive living cost in the world...

Why do you squish the videos? Damn, including that car accident was not nice of the video maker. Icelandic people using the internet more than us is weird, cause they are extremely rare to come across... I guess it's just cause of the small population and they maybe don't appear where English is being used as much. Haha, yes, you get paid to study but it goes to the parents so usually the kids don't get much of it. And when you're out of high school education is free.
