yeah Göteborg is lovely

[sk]

yes,its a very lovely city!
i like it a lot,it has very beautiful architecture,almost all the buildings are kept in excellent condition.
the city is very pedestrian friendly.
the first thing i noticed is that there arent that many cars for a city of its size,then i realized people use bikes and public transport A LOT!!!
i will post more pics during the weekend when i will have more free time to go out and take some more!!

how come you guys live in Sweden,is it because of studies or what?and is it easy to learn Swedish,how's life there etc..?

[arxeos]

im born here in Stockholm my parents have lived here since the 70's i guess they came then when sweden was in need of workers i think around those years , life in Sweden is good i would say that Sweden is the best country in the world the only downside is the weather.

I am looking for a job here in Goteborg.
Swedish is relatively easy,the only problem is the pronounciation.
Life is ok here,its a different culture though,if you are willing to adjust then its ok.
As a foreigner my major problem is to find an appartment at a reasonable price,i am renting a small apparment for an outrageous price right now.
I have been here for a week and in general i like it.

[SouthernEuropean]

thanks for yoru replies-and are Swedish in general tolerant towards European foreigners??are people friendly???

[arxeos]

that depends on who you meet but i guess in general sweden is very tolerant , people are friendly but much colder than we greeks

[SouthernEuropean]

nice..and are the salaries good in Sweden,now a bit stupid question,do Swedish people mix with other races a lot?and is Sweden a dangerous place to live??are there riots and stuff like that ,i saw a video from Malmo it looked kinda gangsta but nothing serious.Which is the best city in Sweden?

[sk]

i havent been to any other swedish city yet but as far as i know malmo does have the highest crime rate in the country.
as many times i went out here in goteborg i felt very safe.
only problem some very drunk old people,which is common in almost every city.i think goteborgs center(where most pubs,clubs,cafeterias are) is safe.
i would even say that goteborg is very quiet for a city of its size.

[arxeos]

salaries are good in Sweden i havent checked but i think its one of the top countrys in Europe as for the second question yep they do as an example my brothers wife is swedish and her brothers girlfriend is greek , it depends where you live in what parts of a city , there are different types of dangers there is a bit pub violence when people get drunk and so but thas probebly the same in every country riots are not so common here .

I think i know of what video about Malmö your talking about its probebly that from fox news and beeing from fox news says it all i guess the best city in Sweden would be the capital Stockholm allthough the most beautiful city must be Uppsala , atleast i think Uppsala is.

cool facts-nice pics,well what's with that toixografeia ,is that a Saint ?is it from an Orthodox church?

[sk]
