- Scroll_Swe 5mo agoIts not happening but it is my whishlist. Sweden does not have a sugar tax but Norway does, they go over the border to buy candy. The big limit here is alcohol, over 3.5% is only able to be sold in special regulated stores https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systembolaget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systembolaget I assume you are american, must be very blackpilling to visit Sweden. Imagine living in a functional democracy and society where things work like public transport and holidays. https://youtu.be/xrTTIYd2OyY?si=3ZVicQxgxzXhu4s9&t=27 https://youtu.be/xrTTIYd2OyY?si=3ZVicQxgxzXhu4s9&t=27
- subjectsigma 5mo agoI am American, I have never visited Sweden but I have visited Norway. The taxes on normal everyday things like food were as high as 25% and everyone I talked to expressed interest in America, either visiting or living there. I only know one person who moved from America to a Nordic country (Denmark) and she complained that everyone was racist and that it took several months to get an appointment for a root canal, during that time she just had to live with severe pain. I have zero desire to live in any Nordic country.
- ls612 5mo agoI am American and I visited Stockholm for a week last year. It was nice and pretty but boy oh boy was it stifling. Copenhagen was way more relaxed by comparison.
