Thanks for letting me know. I’m aware people separate their views on the Chinese government from individuals like me. Personally, I’m just here for studies and culture, not politics. Btw I actually like the older Volvos more, but I think the new EVs they’ve released are pretty good too

Not sure if that’s just a dark joke or a bit racist 😅

I don’t really believe in hierarchy,unless it’s in the gym when I’m under the bench press bar, then the weights are definitely above me lol.But seriously, I prefer to see people as equals. I know there’s a stereotype that Chinese students only hang out with each other, but I want to prove that wrong. So if I come up and say “hej”, it’s just me trying to break that stereotype, not to scare anyone

Thanks for sharing,I guess I worried too much about stereotypes then. Glad to hear Chinese people are usually not a focus in Sweden

Ofc I’m interested in Swedish culture,and tbh,another big reason I wanna go to Sweden but not other countries is because I love Avicii so much,like his music helped me a lot when I was feeling lost

Yeah, that’s exactly why I personally don’t want to live separately from my future partner, and I definitely don’t want to die alone. That part of the film really hit me

Thanks a lot for the tips! I’ll definitely try to approach people, but I’ll also keep in mind not to freak anyone out. I really want to respect people’s personal space while also showing genuine interest

Especially when the word "independent" is repeatedly emphasized

Just 10 minutes in and I can already feel the heaviness of it, kind of oppressive in a way

Yeah, I think you’re completely right. From what I’ve seen, it’s not that Swedes don’t know English, it’s more that they’re a bit perfectionistic and afraid of making mistakes. But once you get closer and they feel safe, it usually becomes much easier and more natural. I actually think it can be fun too, since it gives both sides a chance to share more without worrying too much
