I consulted with a startup in Stockholm Sweden for 2.5 months at the start of the year. It was an amazing experience, and needless to say I had an absolute blast. Made many great friends, a few of which have come to SF to visit me since. It is cold Dec-Feb, but around March starts getting nice, and Swedes come out and play. General Rules: - Don't talk to people on the subway. Swedes like their public transportation silent. :) - Swedes like coffee. - It is expensive as hell to eat out (daily), and go to bars often. I did it anyway. - Swedes are very punctual and schedule oriented. They generally work 9-5pm, even in startups. - Don't wait until Saturday to stock up on adult beverages, the lines at the Systembolaget can get insane. - Learn to ice skate (or play Hockey), fun activity during the winter. - Swedish pizza is amazing. Great thin crust.
