Moving to Sweden?

[Korpskog]

Swedish girls are pretty to look at but rude and have way high thoughts about themselfes, pure gold-diggers. However most Swedish guys are vain as well, myself not very different.

I have live in Stockholm so I will be happy to answer questions regarding areas, schools and what not.

Relvant questions:
Do you have familily, relatives or friends in the area? Most finnishswedish people do.
Do you have a education/profesison?

I got a job in Stockholm as a bartender pretty easy and I didn't speak Swedish at all at the time, it's only the older people in Sweden who seem to not speak English, I only applied for like two jobs and I got the second one (maybe I got lucky). I stayed with my girlfriend at the time so I can't comment on the apartment situation, but everything was pretty expensive there so I presume rent would be high too, so yeah check out the apartment situation. Also try and learn some Swedish (learn by audio, their written language is incomprehensible), they seemed impressed when I could hold a basic conversation in Swedish. Also don't do that impression of the Swedish accent from the muppets, that doesn't go down well.

Only the older people? I find most people speak english even the 5 yr olds. Only people who cant speak english are immigrants and the older people who didnt learn.

Your name is already in Swedish, are you sure you dont know any swedish? Lots of finlanders do. Anyway, come for a visit and speak to some restaurants first. Also when you do find an apartment start SFI so you can learn Swedish. The rest will come easy at work.

Well guys! i know some swedish but not perfect. when i listen my teacher she speaks so fast i cant understand what she is saying so it makes learning bit harder . Finding apartment i have used this page: http://www.bostad.stockholm.se/en/Lediga-lagenheter/ don´t know if there is any better way to find one. i have graduate from chéf school and have 3-5 years of experince from that job. i have some relatives from my mothers side in Göteborg but dont really know them have seen them last time about 18years ago also read about Stockholms län?/province that i would have right to do business in departments in my own modersmål/Finska. the real problem is the one if i would apply and get job and i would still live here in finland how fast i would get apartment so i would not have to sleep outside or over expencive hotels or should i 1st move sweden before applying jobs so that i would have home/apartment before seeking job?

read this after posting! great idea. can i just walk in and ask for manager and start talking? is that proper form? or if i do like that will they think im crazy person?

There is a lot of need for finnish speaking persons in "kundservice" if you don't mind working from a call-center, elder living care, personal assistent and those kind of jobs should be availible at first since there is a lot of people who prefer speaking their native tounge with caretakers. The resturant business could prove tough since many restorants are run by arabic, syrians and such, they only hire relatives xD

[Finska Lejonet]

all the good restaurants aswell? :O here only pizza places are run by turks, arabs / hairy hands. and proper restaurants are run by Finns. well in the beginning i could care less work is always work. my granny always says work dont make man worst, Sounds better in finnish Ei työ miestä pahenna

[Korpskog]

No of course not all the good ones. Maybe its just because I was turned down for spinning pizzas.

Nej, självklart inte alla dom bra. Kanske bara för att jag inte fick jobb som pizzabagare. (What i just wrote in Swedish)

Have you looked into specific areas of Stockholm? If you need a apartment badly I would look at northern suburbs like Akalla, Hjulsta, Tensta, (Järva-area). Most buildings are "miljonprogram" (concret, projects?) and very cheep (high precent immigrants). I live in southern Stockholm so I rarely go there but I think it is either there or Alby, Skärholmen, Bredäng (Botkyrka-area) in south west Stockholm that would be easiest to get to a decent monthly rate.

All I know in finnish (bad words), hopefully no one is ofended but I could not find the spoiler-wrap.
Hyvää = Skål
Vitto = Fitta
Nekeri = Neger
Mustalainen = Zigenare

Let me know if there is something else I can tell you?

Nice ones is there any (bad neighborhood?1*) now thinking best area i could think is some where near Hammarby Stadion


1* like i hear from news that in Malmö there is such places that Ambulances and fire truck dont go without police

oh yeah forgot: is there any cheap motel or hotel if i would travel there some time this spring/summer and stayed few days to ask around restaurants?

[Korpskog]

Are you a fan of Hammarby? You happen to speak to one. I live in Bagarmossen/Skarpnäck which is 10 minutes from Södermalm with Linje 17 (subway). However the area around the new Stadium (Johanneshov) is on the rise and will cost you a lot of money, they plan to build a IKEA in the area.

There are no areas like Rosengård (Malmö) that you speak of in my opinion, if you are somewhat streetsmart you will not have any problems at all.

I dont know about cheep but this one is pretty cool, you stay in a old prison in central Stockholm.

Yup, I've only ever had Swedish girl-friends and yeah that's quite an accurate description. I must be quite the masochist to put myself through such tribulations, huh. I suppose you can't put a price on good sex, but I still think I should get a discount for being such a loyal customer, lol. Who do I talk to about that?

[Col. Tartleton]

I guess you've never been to Ireland.

My theory is because of the viking raids in Ireland and Scotland, both out countries have an incredible lacking of attractive females: Who famously stole our good looking women and who famously has a surplus of good looking women? Scandinavia of course, coincidence? I think not. Give our good looking women back you socialist jerks. That's also the reason why I think we drink so much: to make the women the viking left behind seem attractive enough.

Don't forget that there's like 8 times as many Irish Americans as Irish Irish. So I suspect we're also to blame.

You've got a point though. A girl I know is from Ireland (as opposed to the dozens of other girls I know who are Irish but not from Ireland). She's pretty I guess, and she gives me the impression she's attractive, I mean she's got a good physique and a kind face, but at the end of the day kind of plain Jane But obviously few pints for me and a hasty supplication to Mary and I'm thinking Mic is looking pretty good. (Micky being her name, not a racial slur, as far as I know.)
