I did a flat check for Sundsvall on the Swedish site blocket: http://www.blocket.se Everything is in Swedish, but if you want to check it yourself, choose Västernorrland, then Lägenheter, Uthyres, and put Min/Max antal rum to 2 (2 rooms=1 bedroom in Sweden). Prices range 3500-6000kr, with an average of 4500kr. There is no council tax. A 100mb internet connection + telephone can be found for under 300kr. If you want cable television, add another 300kr/month and about 2000kr/year for a television licence. http://www.bredbandsbolaget.se/wps/portal/privat/bredband?page=new&WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT=/wps/wcm/connect/b2/privat/bredband/bredband100_lan Utility bills have gone up since I last lived there, but in previous years they averaged about 600kr/month for a 1-bedroom flat. 1000/month should be a safe budget. 2000kr should be enough for food shopping, it depends on your habits. About 500kr for a transportation card. 2000+ for personal expenses. So, my estimate is minimum 11000kr/month to live comfortably enough. That's about £850, or £10200/year. You'll probably need a bit extra to get started, since you'll most likely have to furnish the flat yourself. Ads that say möblerad are furnished, omöblerad are not. Blocket is a good place to find cheap (used) furniture, or you can do what the students do and take a trip to IKEA.

So is socialism still working anywhere? Sweden? Norway

So is socialism still working anywhere? Sweden? Norway?
Will leftists still say socialism is working in Norway (a major North Sea oil exporter) or Sweden (a major arms supplier)? What will they say if Norway or Sweden goes broke like Greece? Peace Bread, I notice you didn't provide any evidence to support your assertions. Assertion without evidence is ASSUMPTION!

Sweden and Norway won't go broke and Greece was never socialist. You have no evidence and you say the most ridiculous things. Turn off fox news and go see the real world.

Liberals will never admit to the failure of Socialism.

There is no country in the world today that is a pure follower of their own dogma. China has elements of capitalism, USA has elements of socialism, etc.

Sweden and Norway have the best educated people in the world. Pure Fact.

China, Japan, or Sweden. Where to live and work

China, Japan, or Sweden. Where to live and work?
Hi everyone! Well I started to look at China and Chinese and kinda like the country and the language. But I also LOVE the culture and language of Japan. Yet I also like Sweden in terms of work and education... So I have a few questions... -Which language is better used for the future in business or general usefulness? -Which country would be more "Fun" and exciting to live in? -Which language is harder to learn, and yes I mean also learning the Kanji, not just Romaji or Pinyin. -Do you need to learn Swedish to live in Sweden? I mean do you really use it everyday? Because I would be very happy to learn it, but I don't want to learn Swedish for nothing ^-^ I might add more later :) Cheers! 良い一日を! 有一个愉快的一天! Ha en trevlig dag! Havu bonan tagon! -If I were to learn Chinese, should it be Cantonese or Mandarin? And should I learn to write in Chinese Traditional or Simplified Hans?

Sweden, most people speak English. Plus there is not the issue of Government oppression or overpopulation. Japan seems like it would be pretty fun though. Stay away from China.

Oh it is not a good time to Japan.

of course, china. it develops fast , someone said it'd exceed us someday. mandarin is official language in china, people who speak cantonese must speak mandarin , but most people who can speak mandarin can speak cantonese. thus it's more popular to learn mandarin. http://www.studyinhubei.com.cn/ Central China Normal University (CCNU) was founded in 1903. It is a comprehensive and prestigious university on the list of the “National 211 Priority Project”. Located in Wuhan, a major hub of transportation, it has a campus on Guizi Mountain, a hill bordering the East Lake and the South Lake.

I think Sweden would be more easy for you, due to the culture and that a lot of people speak English. It's easy to survive with English, however I think that no matter where you go, you should learn some of the language they speak. By that you're showing respect. Also it would be easier to get friends and understand things on the street, tv and so on. How fun is it to watch TV if you can't understand anything of what they're saying? How fun is it to have Swedish friends those times when they speak in Swedish, making you an outsider? You do use Swedish everyday. I never speak English, except in situations when I have to... which I kind of avoid. If you want a language that is good for business and communicating with a lot of people, then I guess Swedish isn't a particularly good choice in comparison. Although I must say that Asians CAN be negative about foreigners speaking their language... And that should be more so when it comes to business/work. Swedish is also a more rare language to learn, I think that makes us more accepting and tolerant... you're just not another beginner and foreigner, one of the crowd. You're more unique and special. But this is just what I think... But I'm not telling you to learn Swedish. That is something you should decide on your own... follow your heart! *stupid smile*. I guess Chinese would be a pretty good choice though :( *frowns* Ha en trevlig dag du med! ;)

It's my impression that if you want to live and/or work in Sweden, the swedish government will make you learn the language (and I don't blame them). They will organize it for you, but I don't know if they wil pay for it all. As to chinese, you do realise that its one written language but several dozen spoken ones?
