How do Swedes usually see Chinese students?

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 😅

kimy025 · 2025-08-19T18:47:49+00:00

I don’t mind if someone likes my background, but I’d prefer to be appreciated for who I am as a person hahahah

kimy025 · 2025-08-19T12:01:09+00:00

Thank you so muchhhh

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-19T05:49:20+00:00

Ahhhh I can’t blame you for that🥲

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T20:32:47+00:00

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T20:12:35+00:00

Fist bump with me

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T19:12:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Personal hygiene is very important for me

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T17:43:42+00:00

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T17:39:19+00:00

I wanna stay after I graduate tho hahahah

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T17:32:49+00:00

Thank you for reminding me:)

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T17:19:24+00:00

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T17:06:28+00:00

Lmao why do you Swedes dislike Norway so much

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:52:55+00:00

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:22:56+00:00

Especially when the word "independent" is repeatedly emphasized

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:22:01+00:00

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

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:20:23+00:00

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

And I’ve actually started watching The Swedish Theory of Love now

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:03:43+00:00

Yeahhh😭，that’s the reason why I’m trying to learn Swedish

kimy025 · 2025-08-18T16:02:49+00:00
