What's the experience of living in Sweden? Will it be fun?

On 20 16, my relatives opened a Chinese restaurant in Sweden, but the business was too busy. Let me help. At that time, I had not traveled far, and I wanted to see the outside world. Came to Sweden after getting a visa. The salary given to me by my relatives is 9000 yuan per month according to domestic standards. I felt quite satisfied at that time, and I couldn't get such a high salary at home. However, after living in Sweden for two years and knowing the income of the local people, I realized that the gap was so big and my heart was very unbalanced. I didn't expect Swedes to earn so much. Next, I want to share my life experience in Sweden. As for comfort, everyone has his own conclusion.

1: I arrived at Stockholm airport to handle visa-related matters. Although there are not many people, I will still wait in line. There is a machine there. After you get the number, you can sit on the sofa and have a rest, similar to the way a bank calls a number. You don't have to wait in line at the window. Long-distance travel is tiring. This measure is humanized for passengers and can relieve fatigue. Most Swedes have the habit of queuing, even if they go to the vegetable market to buy food. In crowded public places, there is basically no special person to maintain order. They think it is very important to keep self-discipline in life.

2. Take a taxi on the streets of Sweden. The driver is an uncle in his fifties who speaks simple Chinese and is an expert on China. Chatting in the car told me that his daughter married in Guangzhou and had been there several times herself. The Huawei mobile phone he used has a high evaluation. When waiting for the red light, the driver's uncle actually made coffee in the car. Later, I learned that Swedes all have the habit of drinking coffee. Driving is easy to get tired. Without the habit of smoking, they will have some coffee to refresh themselves.

The official language of Sweden is Swedish, but in real life, the popularity of English is relatively high. Staff in shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and other places must master English communication skills. Swedish is difficult to learn, and even residents who immigrate to live for a long time find it difficult to communicate in Swedish. Immigrants can't master the local language, so they have to settle for the second best and communicate in English.

I just came to Sweden and plan to go out by subway. I thought the subway in Sweden was very luxurious, but I was disappointed when I got on it. The position under the seat is rusty, and there is no electronic screen radio announcer. There is a sign in the carriage that says multi-stop. There are not many people in the subway, and there are still free seats. Most people are brushing their mobile phones. There is no sound and it is extremely quiet.

Swedes have high requirements for sleep quality, no matter how busy they are at work, they should ensure a certain amount of sleep time. After 10 at night, there are few pedestrians on the street and the nightlife is monotonous. No one wants to spend money to stay up late. If there is a lot of noise at home at night, there may be complaints from neighbors and fines will be imposed according to the severity. Sweden also has a wonderful rule that water is not allowed to flush the toilet in the afternoon. I remember once, I went out for a midnight snack with my friends. After I came back, my stomach felt sick. After I went to the toilet, I flushed the water. The landlord downstairs came to remind me that it is best not to flush the toilet at night, so as not to cause complaints from neighbors.

6. Living in Sweden, shopping is not so convenient. I forgot my wallet several times when I went out to buy things, and I had to run back to get my wallet before I went out. Sweden can't pay by mobile phone, unlike taking a mobile phone out at home. After spending in Sweden, you can only use bank cards or credit cards except cash payment.

7. Swedes are more efficient at work. They give up their lunch break at noon, continue to work after dinner, and have some coffee to refresh themselves in the afternoon, so they can get off work early. It is not uncommon for Swedish office workers to go home at 4 pm. Swedes don't confuse work with life, don't work overtime to earn some overtime pay, rarely talk about work after work, and enjoy free personal time.

Although the price in Sweden is relatively high, the local people have high income support, perfect welfare and life is not as hard as expected. They advocate a free life, don't want to be bound by houses, cars and children, and try to live comfortably. Usually you can go to the coffee shop to enjoy your leisure time, or you can go to the local "practice booth" to choose some favorite second-hand books and experience the fun of reading.
