Here's My Experience From My Month-Long Spring Cleaning Challenge (11 Pics)

One thing I don't get is why more countries don't have proper recycling systems. For instance, when you buy a can of beer or a bottle of soda, you pay a recycling fee. You go home, finish your drink and the next time you visit your supermarket you put the bottles and cans in a recycling machine and get your money back. We've had it for decades. As a bonus – you never see bottles and cans in streets or in parks, people collect them.

35 Times People Ordered Groceries During Quarantine And Got More Than They Bargained For

I actually don't think that looks so unusual. At least not here in Sweden. Big, but not THAT big.

After Noticing These 30 Things Americans Do In Movies, People Are Wondering Whether They Do Them In Real Life

I used to admire the US. Seventies, eighties. Growing up. Now, I'm just glad I don't live there. What's wrong with you?

After Noticing These 30 Things Americans Do In Movies, People Are Wondering Whether They Do Them In Real Life

Perhaps we are more successful and happier and have low suicide rates. Always have. That's an old american myth, created in the era of cold war. Fear of communists (we never were).

30 Actual Things That Exist In The US That Non-Americans Didn't Believe At First

In Sweden, libraries are free. Not only that, you get access to a movie database and can stream a huge amount of movies from home if you have a library card. Also read all the world's magazines, hire e-books besides regular books. It's fantastic.

It seems to me that men in America are having it way harder.

Someone Asks Women What They Think Is The Worst Thing About Being A Man, And They Deliver (30 Replies)

Yes, the idea of "tall, dark and handsome" lives. But once you get to know each other, it doesn't matter. I'm 1.69. 5'5" doesn't mean anything to me, but it should equal 1.65.

Someone Asks Women What They Think Is The Worst Thing About Being A Man, And They Deliver (30 Replies)

I know this is supposed to be universal, maybe it is. But in Sweden, men that comes across as overly macho are seen as a bit silly. In general, talking about feelings are not taboo. For elderly generations "boomers", yes.

Sick Man Shows That His Insurance Company Is Prioritizing Wealth Over His Health And Doesn't Even Hide It

Yes, I can't beleive how armericans tolerate this. I would be furious. I'm so happy that I don't live in the US, I got sick last year (Psoriasis), I would be bankrupt by know. Maybe even dead. We have "free" healthcare in Sweden, of course payed by taxes, but we're happy to do so. It brings quality to life, not having to worry about getting sick. I've read these stories so many times now.

Woman Finds A Genius Way To Reduce ER Bills By Itemizing Them And People Are Saying That It Works

I can't understand why americans don't protest and demand a proper healthcare system. Yes, it is payed for by taxes, but when you do get sick you know it won't ruin your life finacially. That's so comforting. Last year, I unfortunately got Psoriasis. Months of treatment in hospital (Sweden), special creams. In the US, I would have gone bankrupt. Most of that wouldn't be covered by insurance. I got the major part "for free".

30 Teenagers Wishing They Were Born In The '90s Will Make You Feel Ancient

I was born in 64 in Stockholm. I remember growing up in the seventies, now we call that "the DDR-era". Only two tv-channels (state controlled), no food culture or good restaurants, not very good at entertainment, everything was grey, dull and closed. I wish sometimes I was born in the eighties. But when I look at old photographs, everyone seems so damn happy, smiling and waving. Colourful.

This Woman Wrote Down Lists Of Ingredients Of US And UK Products, And The Difference Is Disturbing

American junk food and food chains has destroyed so much. You can make better burgers than McDonalds, You can make better coffee than Starbucks. Think local – that original Café round the corner in Stockholm with good "Fika" is so much better. If I go to Paris, I certainly don't want to eat american junkfood. Oh, but it's all about the money.

She was smiling all along her sailing across the Atlantic. Happier than ever.

Climate Change Activist Greta Thunberg Just Roasted Her Critics In A Viral Twitter Thread

I've followed this whole story – her journey – as it has evolved since then and it's just mindblowing. Also the disgusting hatred from white men, always on the far right. So sad to see that.

Climate Change Activist Greta Thunberg Just Roasted Her Critics In A Viral Twitter Thread

I actually walked by her sitting all alone with that sign. I thought it was cute and a bit sad. But the next time, a week later, there were people sitting around talking to her. And ... But this is true. She was sitting there at the start outside the swedish parliament. I often walk by there, in Stockholm. It's not made up.

Rolfs Kök. That's very much on purpose, the restaurant opened in 1989 and of course people talked about it. The interior design in that restaurant is fantastic. Great food. Go there if you are in Stockholm. The wide angle shot fools you, it's not that big and the paper close to the seats.

Exactly, waiters/waitresses are doing their jobs and should be compensated fairly. It shouldn't be up to the customer to compensate for the employer's skimping.

American Woman Finds A Lump While In Iceland, Shares How Awesome Their Healthcare Is Compared To The US

I live in Sweden. I recently fainted in a mall. Woke up, there were six people there helping me, holding my hand. They had called an ambulance. I ended up in hospital for 24 hours. What did I pay? 4,5 dollars overall - and that was for the breakfast.

American Woman Finds A Lump While In Iceland, Shares How Awesome Their Healthcare Is Compared To The US

I live in Sweden and when I got MS and tried the first medicine I learnt that without our medication-cost-system the shots would be 4 000 USD every month. With our system I paid 110 USD for ALL of my medication for A YEAR. Same with my current treatments which I get in hospital every month. I would not be able to get them in the states, and here it´s a right to get medication when you´re in need of it. When my MS gets worse and medication stops working, I will get another one and not one time do I have to worry about it being more expensive than the previous one. I have 13 treatments at hospital (3-4 hours with nurses check-up and some tests (blood,urine,bloodpreassure the normal stuff) , 2 meetings with specialist neurologist, 2 MRIs , 5 bloodtests that goes to Denmark for checkup, 2-6 ultrasounds and I take about 30 packs of medicine a year only for MS. And I pay a total of 220 USD a year (110 for medication and 110 for appointments and hospitalvisits).

In Sweden, you could recycle all of that into money. We have a recycling system for bottles and cans. You pay a recycling fee when you buy your soda or beer, and get the money back when you return to the store and put it in a recycling machine.
