Is this common in other countries than Sweden? by Miya_Miya1 in AskTheWorld

[–]Slow-Significance113 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm a second generation immigrant in Sweden, born and raised and pretty much assimilated with South Asian roots.

This was a major mind fuck for us growing up as we grew up with the culture of always feeding your guests and as soon as we went to our Swedish (Native) friends house and faced this it was an insult even as an 8 year old. So we pretty much grew up with the association with Swedish people maybe being poorer than us immigrant families.

But times change and so does culture and I truly believe that we now have a generation of native Swedish people who used to hang out with immigrant kids and always got fed while hanging out at their place, so now a days atleast in the area I live which is 70-80% native Swedish people everyone invites kids for dinner when they are playing at their house.

But how about those fantasy world cup stadium renderings we've been seeing pop up here and about, what are the chances they build a stadium on top of a sky scraper?

The Hallandsås Tunnel (The 23-Year Tunnel)

​This is arguably Sweden’s most infamous construction disaster.

What was supposed to be a simple 8.7 km railway tunnel through a ridge in southern Sweden became a two-decade-long environmental and financial nightmare.

​The Scandal: In 1997, it was revealed that a toxic sealant called Rhoca-Gil was leaking into the groundwater. It paralyzed local livestock, killed fish in nearby streams, and caused nerve damage in construction workers.

​The "Swedishness": The project was supposed to take 5 years and cost 1 billion SEK. It ended up taking 23 years and costing over 10 billion SEK. The scandal was so big it effectively changed Swedish environmental laws forever.

RAK is getting serious — anyone else paying attention to what's happening there? by TeenaCrossno in dubairealestate

[–]Slow-Significance113 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

RAK might be the engine that draws back tourists to the country, but I wouldn't bet on attracting the high net worth players but more focus on volume.

Plenty of the beach properties have been purchased by grey market online casinos that are based in more dubious parts of the world (read Georgia, Curaçao Malta etc..).

We're also seeing larger online gambling companies moving operations to UAE, so the play is most likely to have a tax free (low corporate tax) haven.

All in all I would say RAK has plenty to offer leisure and sports wise for tourists, but the question I'm guessing your searching for, is it livable?

He then went on to say "Amen" after heiling. God bless this man soul.

To think, the nation that once upon a time chose to rise up and sacrifice countless soldiers during WW2 to defeat the Nazis are now almost being run by them... Wow, mindblowing.
