Välkommna till våran sjunde utbytessession! Nu ska vi grotta ner oss i lågländerna och besöka Nederländerna! Kanske inte världens största kulturkrock men inte mindre intressant för det! Hoppas ni får en givande diskussion och raportera opassande kommentarer och snälla lämna top kommentarerna i denna tråd till användare från /r/thenetherlands. Av någon anledning krockar vi med indonesiens utbyte samtidigt (inte mitt fel) så om ni följer med där hoppas jag ni är lika representativa som ni är i våra trådar.

How does Sweden differ from the other Scandinavian countries? As an outsider, those countries seem really alike. What makes Sweden Sweden?

I recently learned that Sweden has quite a strict drug policy, while I always thought that you guys were a bunch of socialist hippies (even worse than us). What's the opinion of r/sweden on this drug policy?

Sweden is often regarded (both in the Netherlands and elsewhere) as the ultimate socialist's paradise. What is the view on this inside the country?

Goddammit you nature is beautiful. I feel like missing out in our concrete kingdom. Went to Boras/Goteborg region some years ago and I loved it. Hope I can visit Stockholm some time aswell

Hey Swedes! I was wondering, how many of you actually live in the middle of nowhere? And how is that like? It is a dream of mine to move away from the crowded Netherlands and settle somewhere quiet and naturey.
