I made Swedish Christmas ornaments and it took a long time
I'm boycotting all crafts with glue.
In today's video, I attempt making four Swedish Christmas ornaments. I'm not sure if they are originally from Sweden, but I chose these because I don't typically see these types of decorations in the United States!
00:00 - 00:59 Intro
00:59 - 04:41 Froebel/German/Swedish Star
04:41 - 10:13 Honeycomb ornament
10:13 - 17:30 Christmas star/Julstjärna
17:30 - 19:57 Woven star
19:57 - 20:49 Final results
20:49 - 22:08 One year later

I dagens video försöker jag göra fyra olika julgransdekorationer. Jag är inte säker om de kommer ifrån Sverige, men jag valde dessa eftersom jag brukar inte se de här i Förenta staterna.

I visited Sweden's ugliest city (and had fun?!)

Have you tried horse meat before? In today's video, I visit Borlänge, Sweden known for being Sweden's ugliest city according to a poll done in 2018. After visiting the SECOND ugliest city in 2021 (Västerås), I wanted to see what the competition was. My video about Västerås: ua-cam.com/video/xa-Y8UuA4n0/v-deo.html I also ate horse meat for the first time. Horse meat is illegal in the USA, but ap...

    Houses from several hundred years ago they remodeled and devided apartments to fit more tenants. People in Sweden understand the value of old culture and architeckt built houses. We Keep the old houses instead of demolish it and build 500 feet high concrete boxes.

    Län or now Region is the political division of Sweden. But Landskap as you say has no actual political importance anymore, but I think that is what people most identify with culturly. Like if someone in Sweden ask another swed "I love your accent where are you from?" They will probably answer with you Landskap not your län.

    "Lagom" might be seen as meaning "perfect". I mean, it means "not too much, not too little". So basically "perfect". But "lagom" lacks the enthusiasm of "perfect". It is more "well, it's close enough, don't bother trying to get it perfect, it's not that crucial".

    Parasoll is basically French, Par a Sol. For when sun. And the opposite Swedish word, paraply, is also French. Par a Plui, For when rain. So, a parasol against the sun, and a paraply against the rain.

    I was often offered food from my friends parents but i often declined. Firstly because I would have to call home and tell my parents that i wasn't coming home for dinner and secondly because i didn't like eating with other parents. Then you had to apply proper dinner etiquette and it was also kinda stiff sitting their eating someone else's cooking and you could not be as picky as you were. It just felt more comfortable eating at home with my own family.

    @Meagan "EEW" is apparently a many thousand year old giant natural groundwater-spring. The sign says it comes from the north with very high pressure thru a mighty(mäktigt) sand layer under Tunaslätten. Medieval people used to come there to wash/drink and christian people call it a "trefaldighetskälla" with means it was believed to have healing properties. Today most of Borlänges drinking water comes from there. The bubbling is the water being pushed up thru the sand from down below with high pressure.

    If you find that something seems weird here, like foodstuff in tubes, you just have to think like a Swede; "is it more practical this way?" if the answer is yes or maybe, you got your answer. One of our favourite words, as I guess you've noticed by now, is "praktiskt"(practical), we absolutely love things practical! Why is such a large part of the car fleet station wagons? Why do IKEA sell flat packs(+economical reasons)? Why do everyone have a shoehorn? It's Practical! 😂 Why do we have comparatively small bedrooms? It's impractical, you just sleep there, better use the space in other rooms that you utilise more. If a swede would've had something to do with creation homo sapiens I'm sure we could've found something to make us more practical as a species! 🤣 I think you'll make a great Swede and you'll learn to love Kalles kaviar, it's the s__t! I don't care much for the crayfish either, they're just too impractical, havskräftor on the other hand is tastier and more practical! 👍

  • @micke3035
    @micke3035 Місяць тому

    Damn, the shoehorn is both practical and keeps the heels of your shoes in good order, what's not to like? A good horn needs two things, length, never less than 40cm, and it should be made out of metal, plastics get to thick if are to be sturdy enough. Why does every(almost anyway) Swede have a shoehorn at home? Because we don't trott around our homes in our outdoor shoes. Btw we have tastier standard coffe than Gevalia... 😉 For you Americans there is something of a domestic rivalry in Sweden regarding coffe, because there are a few big brands from different parts of the country. Although there actually is something behind it as the same brand will not taste exactly the same all over the country as it comes down to the water you brew it with. We are quite particulate when it comes to coffe... 😊 Liked your video! 👍

    I live in said ugliest city, I eat horse mostly in spring and winter. It's pretty normal, but very expensive. The bubbling you see in the water is more water coming up, not air. As for how ugly, the city center is very ugly and modern but outside towards the church is much better.
