@TheSwedishLad I'm in Gothenburg now. I assume that you're in Stockholm?
And you're right about the alcohol thing. One can assume that people aren't too chatty because they're not drinking..... because Systembolaget is never open. haha...
@ritad426 true, it's never open but I don't drink (and I'm still a nice guy, ha ha). Actually, I live in Karlskrona, from Malmö originally but spend a fair amount of time in Stockholm still.
@ritad426 I honestly think that the further south (and west) you get in this country the friendlier people are (at least from an urban perspective. Farmers and boat people tend to be friendly too. The swedish term is either malmöbo or malmöit.
I def. think people from Gothenburg are more friendly than people from Stockholm but that is also a dialect thing.
Sorry. Last year I was a Swede living in Canada and when I moved back it was really hard to get used to the fact that strangers think you're CRAZY if you give them a friendly smile.
Yeah, it hasn't been easy. I didn't think it would affect me this much, but to be honest it's been bringing me down a bit. Whenever I forget that it's different here and smile to laugh with a stranger, I either get the b*tchy look from the girls, or guys would think I'm trying to hit on them.... That explains why everyone's got their noses in their mobile phones all the time :)
O.O Hahahahaha, oh god, no wonder so many people were confused by my thumbnail!!! I thought I changed that AGES ago, it was from an old Asian Festival news piece I did. XD Thanks for the heads-up, going change that now.
@Y4YC0B Hey Jacob. Most likely it will be Sergels torg-Kungsträdgården. The good thing about plattan is if there is a chance of rain which means ceiling. I need to check if they're any other arrangements happening there on that date. Also, I'm hoping for some European Youtubers to come and mingle with the Swedes.
Martin, dont forget the Swedish vloggers meeting in Goteborg in july :D i think linnea invited u to the event through the #svenskavloggare Group on facebook
@gardneross It's weird how close I was to my own guessing cause I had no stats to base that assumption on. Somebody did say "too long" which I thought was the most correct answer but hey :)
Close, it's Kiioko. ^^ But you did pronounce it correctly (minus the "o" at the end, of course) and I really appreciate you mentioning my participation. ^^ Glad I placed at all.
Congratulations to everyone and certainly to Tomyboy96. Good job, everybody.
@Kiioko I was a bit hyper when I recorded so some things had to be a bit off. I do have to say, your thumbnail confuses me, especially with the name; I long thought you were a japanese man ha ha
@princeword Hahahaha, totally understandable. A lot of people asked me if I was Japanese at first. XD
Honestly, I chose the name Kiioko when I was bored and just made a YouTube channel for the heck of it. This was before YouTube really even exploded as the website it is now, so I was just playing around with names.
May make a new channel soon though, especially since I'm about to graduate for film and will hopefully have some professional work I can put up there. I'll keep you posted. =)
@princeword I should probably change that then. XD I got a professional HD camera for Christmas, so even the vlog quality should be improving soon. I intend to buy a large white board to put behind me now for lighting purposes and so the background isn't as distracting. We'll see how it goes.
@Holtza I'm super-excited about the gathering. The original plan was to have had it last year but because of thesis work and such it didn't happen. Also, I think the time is very right now after many of us have met in London and all these emerging swedes surfacing.
Yeay! :D
haha :D

Wow, randomly found your videos! I'm a Canadian living in Sweden now, and it's nice to see that Swedes can also show personality... :P
People think I'm crazy when trying to start a friendly conversation with them in public. pffft.

@ritad426 yeah, you shouldn't start conversations with swedes unless they have alcohol in them, ha ha. Where in Sweden did you land?

Hmmmm.... I can see that you're a nice lad and very friendly on your videos.... but are you the same with strangers? :P
It's true that the people from Malmö (Malmöans?.. Malmöites?.... Malmites?) have a friendlier attitude, a bit closer to the Danish.

That being said though, I do believe that once the ice is broken, swedes are some of the warmest and most loyal people i've met.
