What's the worst thing about living in Sweden?

On the one hand, Sweden is one of the most livable countries in the world. On the other hand, this assessment assumes that your good standard of living is the same as that used by the ranking agencies.

Not everyone meets these standards. In fact, if you … expect a family service culture, Sweden may be a bad place to live. When I lived in India, my university lecturers and colleagues had their own cleaners, drivers and cooks at home. They never do their own laundry, run errands, go grocery shopping, cook or clean their rooms. In India, you can ask someone to do it for you. This is impossible in Sweden. You are your own cook, cleaner, laundryman and errand boy.

Accustomed to receiving numerous and immediate responses to requests and inquiries. My Chinese wife wanted this life since she was a child, because in China, you do have this life. Do you think there is no danger to your life? Take a bag of medicine to the hospital in 30 minutes. They will give you 32 tests to pass the scanner. Yes, for the same money, your bill is enough to buy a used car, but do they deliver it to your door? Not in Sweden. You feel sick, so you want to make an appointment with your doctor. He is free next Thursday. If you are still ill by then, he will see you. If he can't solve the problem, he will introduce you to an expert. The expert still has time in three weeks. Craftsman, license, application, etc. There is a similar situation.

Top-down bosses. It feels like bullying, doesn't it? Well, be prepared to find yourself suddenly demoted slightly, and go through a formal background assessment procedure, especially to examine your ability to keep the hierarchy flat and keep friendly contact with employees. I have seen such a thing happen to some people who are carried away by responsibility. Suddenly, when I saw them again, another man became the boss. They have taken on lower responsibilities, but they are swallowing. These people are actually Swedish, not immigrants.

Smoking a lot, drinking a lot of spirits and eating a lot of meat. These things are more expensive than other parts of Sweden. If you indulge yourself as before, you will soon see it reflected in your bank statement in an amazing way.

I like working under the desk. "Do you prefer to let people only accept cash for construction projects or car maintenance through the back door?" Better get out of here. Nobody wants anything to do with this. Every time you order someone else's service, you have to pay the normal price and incredible sales tax. Here, evading declaration is considered very uncool.

If you tend to do things in a male chauvinistic way, you will be surprised to find how stable the ice wind resistance you will encounter. In Sweden, women are more equal than men. "Is there any respect for women?" Is the first question on the list.

I hate snow, ice, frost and the long spring preparation period. If you are not interested in the whole winter wonderland, let you accept165438+1frozen lakes and snow on the ground from October to May, and you will finally look for green plants here crazily.
