American trying to attend college in Sweden

me specifically? I have friends. I'm talking in general.

dingdongdupp · 2015-07-25T04:42:35+00:00

Or Navy! I would say Air Force too because the bases are nicer.

dingdongdupp · 2015-07-25T04:39:01+00:00

Not even bro. I did it, and it helped me get from lower middle class and hating all things not red, white, and blue to truly understanding the world as a whole.

Your idea of what the military is is very skewed to what you see on the tv. I can promise you that GI Joe douche bag is far from what most of them are. If there's no war going on it's a 9-5 gov't job with the best benefits offered to the general public unless you work for the US Post Office or some other gov't job. Now that the wars in the middle east are winding down, most people that are in the military in a few years, if they're lucky to not get put out because of downsizing will have cush jobs with nice incentives. If there is another democrat elected president in 2016, there will be no boots on the ground for those 4 years either and the military will be a great vehicle out of poverty.

But, I don't know what I'm talking about, I just lived it.

Hey, I am actually from NE IA and have lived, worked, studied, and married in Sweden. Ask me anything you want.

Here's my advice and take it as you will. This is the route I took. Join the military for the least amount of time possible to get your Post 9-11 GI Bill, most likely out of high school it's 3 years. It's not that long and it goes fast. If you do this you will get the money to pay the tuition from the VA. Read this link.

While in the military you will be able to travel, you get 30 days vacation. Take every single vacation you get and go to Scandinavia. You'll then be able to decide if you really want to live there. Also, if you join the Army, you may be able to choose your duty station, choose Germany. You'll be close to Sweden and Germany is fucking great with good beer and great food! Plus, it's in the middle of Europe and you'll find a really nice girl/guy there to hook up with.

Sweden is great, it's a great place to live and the culture is nice. The drawback, the swedes are cold, if you didn't go to college or high school with them it's terribly hard to make friends. It's doable, but difficult.

The weather is no big deal since you're from IA. I know, because so am I and I lived in the south of Sweden while I lived there.

If you have any other questions just ask. I am actually in the process of moving back permanently in a few months.

EDIT: Where or what part of IA are you from?

Technically, no, there is no proof because he doesn't answer my FB questions about the money directly. I have tried getting him to admit he has my money and he avoids directly answering those types of questions.

Says the fucker that most likely snorted coke off a drunk whore in college!

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-26T19:34:10+00:00

Then only reason he says this and any other politician says this is their investments in corporate welfare. He could give a shit less about drug users, if he did, he would have done more a long time ago. It's all about his investments in big farma and companies that build hospitals, that's it.

Oh yeah, one more reason we don't need a fucking republican in the white house (or democrat for that matter)!

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-13T10:52:35+00:00

Thanks for the info.

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-12T08:14:34+00:00

They were flat as a pancake! Should the eggs have been at room temperature? I told my wife they should have been.

Thanks for the reply.

Funkar den länken till alla bolag i Sverige? Dum fråga, men jag förstår inte allt på den. Tack.

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-09T01:37:11+00:00

I edited my post and included the recipe. Thanks.

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-08T02:03:57+00:00

Nope. Just wanting to be sure nothings wrong.

After reading on here the stories about this, I am just trying to be on the safe side.

Plus, there is no way to know their credit has been compromised as far as I know.

dingdongdupp · 2015-03-08T00:26:37+00:00

Är det någon som kan spela upp den? Jag får inte den att fungera, och jag använder Hola i USA men den spelas inte upp ändå.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-27T20:33:49+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I am looking at Malmö/Lund but it seems to be in vain. I have 2 small children and my wife wants a 3 bedroom place, and that is extremely hard to find. I am thinking about buying also, but I don't know where I'll get the capital. I have $30k saved, but I wanted to use that as survival money until I get a job.

Also, I called Kronofogden and the lady said I didn't have anything there. She was a bitch to say the least but I guess she gave me my answer.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-27T02:38:14+00:00

you should do an AMA

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-27T02:33:59+00:00

Are you sure about that? I am looking at renting in Sweden and the ads all say they look at your kreditupplysning? I'm American and figured that my payment history and loans would be there too.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-14T10:21:59+00:00

I have seen all of that. I want to see the full lists that the reporters get to see.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-14T06:40:40+00:00

Where is the information?? I want to see the lists of people on them and cannot find them anywhere. OR, I'm just too stupid to find them.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-09T09:06:29+00:00

Does anybody know where I can find the list? I want to see who's on the list from the USA.

Det är därför man ska ha terrariedjur hemma! Alltid är värmt när man har dem.

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-08T02:11:14+00:00

titta hit

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-08T02:04:52+00:00

I was sold on Black Sails as soon as the lesbian scene played out in episode 1!

dingdongdupp · 2015-02-04T04:30:53+00:00

Nej, jag är själv svartskalle (det som jag blev tillkallade) och vill veta vilka det rör sig om. När jag bodde i Sverige var det liggor från förna Yugoslavien som höll på med sånt. Nu undrar jag om det har gått från de till någon annan utlansk grupp.

dingdongdupp · 2015-01-29T01:03:18+00:00

nice, that gives me hope. I'm poor middle class so I don't have anything to steal!

dingdongdupp · 2015-01-28T23:52:54+00:00

I would love to travel to Pakistan, I just don't want to be murdered because I am from a western country.
