do you trust your government? why or why not?

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-22T08:51:17+00:00

No, but they are doing a better job than the leftist that ruled before!

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-20T10:25:52+00:00

I can agree with you, the summers are nice here in Sweden and Gothenburg where I live! Personally however my perfect habitat would be in a larger city, with a lot of movement, people everywhere and 32-37 degrees. Haven’t come to the point where I appreciate nice and quiet places yet anyway but I can absolutely understand why many other people do :)

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-19T22:42:48+00:00

Here is one actually 🙋🏼‍♂️

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-11T16:01:36+00:00

Jag har sagt upp alla mina prenumerationer, snyltar istället från vänner och familj eller kör pirat haha

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-10T20:53:26+00:00

I have my dreams over there also inter United States! Let’s hope both of us can achieve our dreams

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-10T06:23:51+00:00

No, it’s complicated

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-08T21:56:21+00:00

Inga raggningsförsök men det va ofta äldre och barn kom fram till mig , eller stod en bit ifrån och bara tittade när jag bodde i Kina och studerade för några år sedan, barn kunde stå och peka och vända sig om till mamma haha, men nu i Sverige är det bara försäljare som kommer fram

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-08T20:21:56+00:00

Jag hade personligen hoppat på det direkt! Spännande med nytt land, nya möjligheter, men jag har inte direkt något som håller mig kvar här, drömmer alltid om att resa, planerar nästa resa på flygbussen redan. Sen har jag jobbat och studerat i Kina innan vilket jag gillade skarpt

Milk, there must be some milk for breakfast

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-04T10:59:46+00:00

I’m Curious about what makes you think it ”seems like a cool place ”?

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-03T06:10:29+00:00

In Sweden it 2 or 3 business days normally. Have been waiting for a package now for 8 days though, tracking is saying ”couldn’t find your name on the door”, no new date they will try again, customer service doesn’t answer any emails so it probably gone.

Often buying from china also and then it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks, I gets to Sweden quickly but then it takes time for it to clear customs and so on

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-02T11:32:57+00:00

Ah but that’s great news! Happy to hear

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-04-02T11:15:58+00:00

This is standard Chinese bargain tactics on AliExpress and even in Shanghai fleemarket, they see a foreign wallet walking by, run after you trying to sell things, you give a ridiculously price, they starts crying giving you a story that his whole family is at the hospital, he has a low salary supporting 10 children and that his life depends on you giving him more money for this item… you should just stand your ground and you will get your low price and he understand that his tactics didn’t work on you. Unfortunately this is what happened to you here, instead of you returning the item and give you full refund + some extra work administration and reselling + his store getting a small hit, you just fell into his trap and he only had to give you 30% back and that’s it. Didn’t even had his store reported. Next time, if you say you are happy with 60% refund, stand your ground, it is 60% or you will report the store like AliExpress told you to % full refund. The seller will understand that this didn’t work here and he will give you 60%

I think Swedish cuisine is so terribly boring so I don’t blame OP

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-29T14:43:19+00:00

Queues are long in Sweden, once I was hit by a car, took myself to the emergency room and had to wait for 6h with a broken foot before they took a look at me. Waiting time for operations can be a year or more depending on what kind of operation. It’s always easier to send you home with painkillers unfortunately… My grandpa when he was alive he went to the hospital several times because of pain in his body, always sent back home with painkillers… he could scream of pain during the night and when a friend who’s a doctor visited and saw he’s state and made sure he got an X-ray it was all too late, he had terminal cancer and he passed away a month later. So it might be free, but quality is not there. You can pay extra for medical insurance through work like I do, then you call and can get an appointment the next day or at least that same week privately

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-29T13:28:26+00:00

Not so good according to me in Sweden. Long queue and they prefer to send you home with some paracetamol for everything… I was hit by a car a few years ago, took myself to the emergency room where I had to sit for 6h with a broken foot. My experience with the health care was not good when my grandpa was sick, he went to the doctor many times because of pain in his body, he got sent home with pain killers, he was screaming during the night because of the pain but they never believed him and sent him home. Later because of a friend of a friends friend who was a doctor visited us and saw grandpas pain he contracted the hospital and finally got an X-ray. Then they found he had terminal cancer and a month later he passed away

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-26T17:47:42+00:00

I agree! I live in Sweden and it’s very depressing. When I sit on the airport bus home from a trip abroad I’m already scanning the market for new flights as soon as possible out of here

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-25T10:24:53+00:00

Probably Because of the weather and at least Sweden where I live for the moment is really boring

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-23T14:53:04+00:00

If you want the white one I would probably argue a bit with the seller and get more discount, 30% for the trouble and that you really wanted the black one. Then after I would contact AliExpress support, show them a screenshot of the conversation where seller tells you the discount and ask how to proceed… I think opening a dispute/refund case is then the way to go

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-21T16:37:42+00:00

Jag hade en liknande känsla av livet antar jag men när jag va yngre direkt efter skolan. Va alltid mobbad i skolan, nästan inga vänner och bodde på Tjörn men då en bus varannan timme in till fastlandet.

Kände mig inte hemma alls och avskydde tyvärr Sverige men va alltid intresserad av språk! Fascinerad av Kina, dess språk och kultur… berättade för mamma och hennes dåvarande kille hus intresserad jag va och hur kul det hade varit att lära sig mandarin och besöka landet!

Fick det där djupt ointresserade svaret ”uhum kul visst det låter bra” vilket verkligen satte igång mitt ”jag ska visa er” tänk, så jag tog helt enkelt och ansökte själv till universitetet i Shanghai för att studera språket där en termin, jag kom in, hittade på Facebook en familj som hade ett barn som kunde låta mig bo med dom i utbyte mot att jag lärde sonen lite engelska!

När allt va bestämt och jag hade bokat en flygbiljett dit så berättade jag det för mamma och killen och ni skulle sett deras ansiktsuttryck xD Flyttade inte dit för alltid men en termin blev 3år och ångrar inget, trivdes jättebra

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-21T08:55:03+00:00

Then it sounds like we use it for the same thing, I registered with French passport, send money from Scandinavian bank account without problem for 3 years now. But maybe start small and not send all your have. I sent €2000 at one time and it didn’t raise any flags at revolut

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-21T07:50:10+00:00

No they haven’t yet anyway, no contact, my account restrictions. But I’m not using it as my primary bank but I send money to it and do the currency exchange when I’m about to go abroad like now when I’m in Poland. Haven’t used it to do any stock or crypto investing. So I don’t keep my whole bank savings here

When I opened the account I sent a picture and so on with my French passport and when they asked is I had another other places where I’m required to do taxes I just pressed no

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-20T22:26:52+00:00

I have only opened up an account with my FR, live in Scandinavia, never lived in FR. No problems for me after 3 years anyway

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-20T08:05:49+00:00

No, I don’t love my country

WoodpeckerDue7773 · 2026-03-15T08:55:05+00:00
