- Niece Evelyn, I hear you single.
Pick one.
- I'm not gonna date a statue.
- Why not?
You're not doing well with real people.

Hello, niece and nephew, it's Uncle Roger.
Today, Uncle Roger in Sweden,
because I want to visit my nice niece Evelyn, right here.
Uncle Roger in Sweden a few day now, too white.
I eat too many salad, too many shrimp on toast.
- You wanna see Chinese things?
- Yeah.
- Okay, Uncle Roger,
I know exactly of a place to bring you to.
- Where is this Chinatown place?
- It's two hours away.
- Two hours! (dramatic strings)
- Yeah. - Oh my!
Usually Chinatown in middle of city!
Wanna get bok choy in Stockholm,
you have to drive two hour to get bok choy.
So sad.
Worst city ever.
- It'll be worth it, Uncle Roger, I promise.
(lighthearted music)
- Huh.
Niece Evelyn, are you sure we are at right place?
- Yeah, I mean--
- This don't look like Chinatown to me.
Look, look around you.
We got tree and we got petrol station.
This is not Chinatown.
This is rest stop with pagoda.
Is this how many Chinese people there are in Sweden?
Look, there's nobody!
It's just two.
Me and you.
- This is built by a man called Mr. Lee,
and he's this big kind of billionaire from China.
He wanted to basically create a Chinatown in Sweden
and he wanted it to be extraordinary.
- He wanted to be next to highway.
Next to highway only dead animal and petrol station.
Mr. Lee is idiot.
So stupid.
Next time you want to build Chinatown, ask Uncle Roger.
I know the best location.
- Where would be the best location, Uncle Roger?
- Not here.
- See, you have two terracotta army men greeting you.
- Oh, they make pirated version of this.
Why he hand like this?
I think he's supposed to be holding a spear or a pole.
I think they didn't finish.
This is not army.
If you walk into battle like this, you will die instantly.
No, I think he trying to fist bump the other guy.
You see?
Oh, coronavirus, we can't shake hand anymore.
So let's just fist bump.
(both laughing)
This is what Auntie Helen look like before she wear makeup.
- Don't be mean to Auntie Helen, Uncle Roger!
- Auntie Helen mean to me.
Why you on Auntie Helen side?
Her side of story is always wrong.
- [Evelyn] She says your side of the story is wrong.
- Haiya, that's why we're not together anymore.
I think Uncle Roger should bring Auntie Helen here
and leave her here, lock the door.
- I think she could make this place really nice actually.
- No.
- She has really good taste.
- No, she destroy thing.
(bell dinging) - I'm team Auntie Helen.
- No, no, no!
Niece and nephew, do not join team Auntie Helen.
I will come and hunt you down.
Wow, this is so empty. - So. (laughing)
Don't you feel right at home?
- No, my home is full of people!
My home like your home, full of trash.
Asian household is always very full of trash
because we are all hoarder.
When I see Ikea magazine is all the clean line.
All so minimalistic.
Uncle Roger say, "No, no, no, too empty!"
Where the clutter!?
- Do you think Ikea should adapt their magazine to Asia
by just cluttering it up?
- Correct, correct.
And add some live rooster.
This place is so weird.
What is this building?
- [Evelyn] It's a hotel!
- A hotel? - Yeah.
- Would you stay here?
- I probably would,
because apparently inside they've made it look very Chinese.
They've made it look like during the Qing dynasty.
- Qing dynasty hotel never next to highway.
You notice this?
- I guess you're right.
I mean, it isn't very authentic because if you stay here,
you could only hear the cars passing on the highway.
- The sound of holiday, peaceful holiday.
Vroom!
- So the story behind the hotel is
this municipality built this rest stop
and they started to receive a lot of traffic from people
who stopped and ate here.
And they decided to build a hotel.
But what they didn't realize was
nobody wants to stay in a hotel by the highway.
The hotel flopped.
Finally, they sold it to Mr. Lee.
And when he bought it, his dream was to make it a Chinatown.
He brought in workers from China to make all of this
because he wanted it to look authentic.
However, because they're Chinese workers, they cut corners.
- Swedish people don't like cutting corner.
- No.
- Swedish people love all their corner.
- So the hotel wasn't allowed to open
because they had skirted around a lot of things.
One of which was the fire safety.
- As long as hotel have wifi and air con, I will stay.
(laughing)
Who need fire safety?
You see fire, you run away.
No need safety.
- If you look at it, you can't even jump out the windows,
'cause there are bars on the windows.
- You think jumping out of window is safer than fire?
- Yeah, if you want to escape it, right?
- Either way you die also,
so no difference, no difference.
- And another fun fact
is that the Chinese workers who were brought here,
they were paid about 17 kroner per hour,
which is about £1.50 an hour.
- That is so much! (cash register ringing)
That is higher salary Uncle Roger ever get.
- Well, the Swedish contractors were paid £11 per hour.
- What?
Haiya, their life too good here.
(laughing)
Why you turn out like this.
Is this door to hotel?
- I think so, yeah.
- Haiya, you see here?
They fucked up.
They miss one ball.
They miss two ball, oh my God!
This is really cutting corner.
Maybe you steal one ball for souvenir.
(Evelyn laughing)
(laughing)
- [Evelyn] Oh my God.
- Oh, Uncle Roger bringing this ball home with me.
- You can't take that, Uncle Roger.
- Why?
Somebody else took the four ball.
I can't take ball number five?
Who will miss this ball?
- It's property of this place.
- It's property of an idiot who built hotel
in middle of nowhere.
- Put it in your pocket, put it in your pocket.
- Where we go now?
- We're gonna go to the museum.
- Okay, let's go, let's go.
Oh, I can hear some nice Chinese music.
If you go YouTube, you search "Chinese music volume one,"
this is what you get.
- This is basically what they have in Chinese restaurants.
- We are in museum right now,
but all they have is just this fake version
of terracotta army.
Haiya.
- Don't show the army that you took the ball.
- Hello, army.
Uncle Roger got a ball.
What you gonna do, what you gonna do?
No weapon, but they all do this motion, is very dirty.
- Oh, Uncle Roger...
- Niece Evelyn, do you know what this motion is?
Have you had to do this motion before?
(beep)
I like this because when I stand here,
I feel like Supreme Leader Uncle Roger.
Dear citizen,
this is Uncle Roger.
Make some good egg fried rice, don't use colander.
What you think?
I think Uncle Roger should be dictator.
If you use colander, I chop your head off.
Let me touch.
This terracotta army pretty cool,
but Uncle Roger think his fashion sense stuck in the past.
Need to become more trendy.
Now this is much better.
- You can't be in there, you need to come out.
- No, no, no, no.
Niece Evelyn, I hear you single.
Which of this guy you want to take?
Do you want Ming?
Do you want Lee?
Or do you want Chang?
Pick one, Ming, Lee, Chang, pick one.
- I'm not gonna date a statue!
- Why not?
You not doing well with real people.
- Come out!
- Uncle Roger bad back.
- [Evelyn] Oh God.
- Haiya.
Oh, terracotta army again, but smaller.
- [Evelyn] Yeah. (laughs)
- This is travel size terracotta army,
Would you prefer big guy or small guy?
Does size matter?
- Here we have like an exhibition of Chinese art.
- Look at this, look at this!
This is the profile photo you need for Tinder.
What you think, what you think?
- This looks like a photo my mom would take.
- Yeah, your mom very attractive.
- So here's a moat and it runs around the whole center.
- A moat?
- Yeah.
- Where the koi?
Asian people, we love koi,
is the only fish we don't eat.
For decorative purposes only.
(Evelyn laughing)
This place is so terrible even koi don't want to live here.
- So Uncle Roger, we have a god here.
I think it's Guan Yin.
- Oh! - And you see,
a tiny little Buddha on her, on one of her hands as well.
- Very nice, very nice.
Please, please, please, goddess.
Please help Evelyn find boyfriend.
She's so single.
So sad.
- [Evelyn] Uncle Roger!
- What, I'm trying to help you.
Hopefully Guan Yin will take pity on you
and give you a good man.
Niece Evelyn, do you like Asian men or white men?
- I... (sighs)
- Either is fine.
- Do you want to pray for Auntie Helen?
- Oh yes.
Strike her down.
(funky music)
Oh, hello, hello.
- Hello. - Do you work here?
- Yes, I do.
- Oh, what do you do?
- I'm the boss here.
- You're the boss? - Yes.
- [Uncle Roger] So where all the Chinese people?
- They went back to China.
- [Uncle Roger] They went back to China!
- (laughs) Yes. - Because you told them to?
- No. - So no Chinese people here?
- No Chinese people, only Swedish people.
- Haiya.
Do you want to see more Chinese people in this building?
- Chinese people are always welcome here.
- How many Chinese friend you have?
- Uh, at the moment, two.
- Two!
- Yeah. (laughs) - Oh!
- If I have to count, then yeah.
- Have you sent them back to China yet?
- No.
- What do you think of your museum?
- It's special.
- Special.
- Yeah, it's Mr. Lee who build it, so.
- Mr. Lee built everything? - Yes.
- Oh, that's why it look so shit.
He not artist.
Can I get some crispy pork?
No, you can get some vuk.
- Vuk?
- Yes.
What is Vuk?
- You fry some noodles and some teriyaki sauce,
and you do with beef, or you do it with chicken, or--
- So noodle?
- Yeah.
- Why do you just say fried noodle?
Why you say vuk?
What the vuk?
No other Chinese food?
At least do some dim sum or something.
- Som syun, som sung (laughs)
- Som sung, no no no,
Samsung not food, Samsung is phone.
Let's try the vuk.
Do I get discount, how much is it?
- 110.
- 110 krona?
- Yeah.
- That is 10 hour of work
for the Chinese sweatshop worker who built this place.
- Yeah, it is, yeah.
- Do you think, do you think that's fair?
Do you think people should work 10 hour
before they can get one vuk?
Why do you like meatballs so much in this country?
- It's delicious, that's why.
- Uncle Roger go to Ikea a lot.
And that's where I get all my meatball.
- Yeah, they're not so good
'cause they-- - Not so good?
- No, they don't make it themself.
- Oh.
- They make it in a factory.
- But you make your food yourself?
- Yeah.
- Oh really?
- Yeah.
- You plant the rice yourself?
- [Evelyn] Let's try it.
- Haiya, I thought you want to go to Chinatown.
Here no bok choy, no crispy pork.
- It's crispy kale.
- Vegetable taste like sad.
- [Narrator] Two hours later.
- Okay, Uncle Roger.
I know that you were a bit disappointed with Dragon Gate.
So I've brought you to what can be considered
as Stockholm's Chinatown.
This grocery shop?
But this is not Chinatown, you only have one shop.
- No, we have one over there as well.
And we have like a sushi place over there.
- So you have three shop?
This is not Chinatown.
This more like China street corner.
I think I'll be happier if I get at least bubble tea.
Do you have bubble tea in Stockholm?
- Yes, we do!
(sighing)
Uncle Roger, are you happy now?
- Yes, yes.
Uncle Roger feel so satisfied.
I didn't know Stockholm, Sweden can get bubble tea.
This is best ball.
Many people tell me, "Come to Sweden, eat meatball."
I am like, "No, you come Sweden, drink bubble tea."
- This whole day has been about balls.
- Correct, we stole one big ball.
- I can't believe you kept it, but you did steal it.
- This is souvenir.
- From Dragon Gate.
- Asian ball belong to Asian people.
- You should call Auntie Helen, make up with her.
- No, no, no, Auntie Helen struck down by lightning already.
(laughing)
