Life in the Land of the Ice and Snow

In our talk today with Roger, from Ohio (where you meet all the Swedes), we discuss if the U.S. actually has real cheese, whether subway tunnels are lighted & losing your Irishman.

We catch up on winter break activities, new museums and new restaurants. Also, roller skis are weird.

On this short winter special episode, we see what life is like as an expat in China.

We re-visit our Swedish friend Sam to fill us in on Swedish Christmas traditions, such as, why is everyone watching Donald Duck?

Marta, from the popular Instagram and Blog, A_Girl Who Travels, talks with us about her spontaneous move to Stockholm. We also discuss the many flavors of sill, tips on what to buy for relatives back home, and the mighty Christmas pig.

Carolin, born in East Berlin, fills us in on the similarities and differences between Sweden and Germany. We also discuss Christmas television culture.

To celebrate our one-year anniversary of the podcast, we turn the tables this week and talk to a Swede!

Samantha, from South Africa, runs Girl Gone International, an online group for expat tips and meetups. We talk language mistakes, getting out of your shell and of course, food!

Jarrett, from Calgary, thinks you people are WEAK! You want to see a real winter? Come to Calgary. He also shares some expat stories from when he was a villain on Korean tv that you don’t want to miss.

We make our yearly attempt to explain Halloween and Day of the Dead to the country of Sweden.
