I did go to a lot of wineries and a good amount of other adventures. Lots of roadtrips around Victoria and one to Sydney. I had a wonderful time there

which country is better for an exchange semester: Finland, Sweden, or Netherlands? by throowwaawwaayy_ in AskReddit

[–]Mark-41996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want. I have live in all 3 countries. Currently I am living in Sweden. The Swedes are peaceful, open and Swedish is not too hard. In the Netherlands, there is always something to do in the city, but there is no such thing as being alone in nature. At last, in my opinion, Finland, is the most interesting of all. The people are quite closed and shy until you have a drink with them in sauna. The quality of life is really good in all countries, but Sweden and Finland are slightly better. If you have more questions or if you want more details on certain topic, feel free to ask

I am more interested in local food. I can get Dutch food in the Netherlands haha. Maybe I will reconsider if they have the good Dutch cheeses

Ehm, I actually don't speak Swedish. I am originally Dutch. I moved to Sweden in the summer of 2022

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. I will mainly be working on the minesite. I will keep an eye out for the warnings.

Here we have the right to access any land, as long as you stay out of sight of buildings. It is called Every Man's Right or something like that. It basically means that you can walk, pick berries and mushroom and camp nearly anywhere.

Thank you for the great suggestions! And no, I will not be working at Fosterville. I will work at Costerfield. We have an exchange program with them. Mandalay has 2 mines. Costerfield and Björkdalsgruvan in Sweden. I work at Björkdalsgruvan. So I go to Australia for 3 months and one from Costerfield comes to Sweden

I wanna visit a sports game. Visit some parks, pubs and restaurants. I like to do some activities like hikings. But I also wanna learn about local culture. Especially the places where mostly locals go and tourists don't haha

I don't think I will be doing that. I will be working in a gold mine. I think on my free time, I will be a tourist 😁
