hey guys welcome back to foreign reacts uh we're gonna be doing an interesting video today this one
is gonna be swedish versus american homes what is different uh so i've been obviously looking into
europe a lot you know i've done a few reaction videos and um a few of them not not not a few
of them but practically all of them everybody has been spamming me bro europe is much better
than america so on so forth and um i can't i can't deny it i've seen it and um what i'm doing right
now is to just um learn as much as possible as i can regarding europe because before i go there
or to visit or to live or whatever might happen in the future i'm not sure what will happen i
definitely know i will never turn my back on america because that's gonna always be in my heart
right but in terms of being able to say this is better or that's better i'm leaning towards
europe in a lot of things i think um there's a lot of things over there in europe that uh
benefits the citizens a lot more than uh in america naturally i think in america
you have to go like two times harder to get the same basic benefits that you could get
in a country like for uh denmark uh germany france you know the german uh not the german
but the european countries but either ways that's uh enough of that intro we're gonna do
this reaction right now so please do subscribe and uh let's get right into this video guys
oh hey guys hi it's andrew coming at you and in this one after living in sweden for six years
six i thought it would be fun to talk about the differences between homes in america versus sweden
that's coming up but i feel like we need something cool some kind of cool thing with slo-mo we'll get
it okay i like the boots for sure swedish so one of the first things the difference is is
depending on where you are in the united states but uh where i was in pennsylvania we didn't
always take off our shoes but in a swedish home you're always going to take off your shoes and
usually have a spot in the location where we can take off our shoes it was a little muddy the
last couple days but i'm going to put this over here won't you won't you be my swedish neighbor
my neighbor so getting that out of the way i want to talk about two other things that are
going to be different in the homes in europe and sweden as opposed to the united states the next
one is the light switches here if you look at the switches here the way the lights switches work and
sweden is a bit different our light switches are a little bit smaller and go up and down like this
so i'll go ahead and link a picture there so you guys can see that the
next difference has to do with the electrical system that we use here for sure we use the eu
plug cable and in the united states you're gonna have to use this problem as well and then some
home is funny enough there's a three prong one and older homes in the united states that you need
to use i want to show you something else really really cool that we have yeah i think the one with
the three is uh for heavy duty if i'm not um if i'm if i'm correct i do a lot of electrical stuff
so i know a lot about the electrical blah blah blah blah blah it's it's a particular thing um
i don't remember what it's called but it's a it's a it's a third wire for safety reasons
usually it's used um for stronger stuff stuffed with a lot more pull this is energy and oven
i'm sure the technology exists in the united states but if you throw stuff on it
when it's off it'll start beeping but if you check this out if i just put this on
and like turn on instantly it's an induction oven which is really really cool you'll see here the
water will like instantly start to boil up and it starts to heat up but the parts here don't get hot
and it's kind of like a smart oven as well if you leave stuff on it it beeps
if uh you're cleaning it it beeps and it won't let you have stuff on it when it's off
and what's nice too is it doesn't get hot here so if you get the camera closer you can see that the
water is actually already starting to heat up it's the most insane thing i've ever had
i love this technology another thing guys well i don't really know about that part but i do know
that there are many stokes in america that does that right um in terms of i don't know about the
like heating up really fast i don't know what kind of speed he's referring to but um
pretty much i've seen a stove like that before because i've lived in a house
with a stove like that before so um i i i can i can unders i can relate to that that that's that's
definitely something that i think is in america in terms of uh that particular stuff for sure
to talk about here is the windows in sweden and how they're different to the united states
a lot of times our windows and there are older windows in sweden that open a little
bit differently but the windows we have in the united states a lot of times are like two
windows here and you can kind of just slide yeah they go up and open it they
almost always have a screen but in every swedish home i've been through here and i've heard there
are screens but they typically open out like this and then you can hit the buttons here and you can
actually open the whole window out because in the summer a lot of homes don't have air conditioning
like we have in the united states yeah but the one thing that annoys me about that with swedish
homes no offense to everybody it's just simply that the bugs and things can get in so i'm not
a big fan of that yeah but you would understand with that is with decks as well and other homes
it's the same like a deck door like this one we have here you'll be able to just go ahead and open
uh the whole entire door here and let the air in which is really nice in the springtime it's very
very cozy just the difference like i said is the american homes we would have like a screen here
which would be really really nice guys by the way our video today is sponsored by lerkit.com
your number one spot for esports and multi-streams uh the link is in the description below please go
and support them another thing i want to talk about quickly is door handles and how the door
handles work here in the us a lot of times we have knobs but as you can see here just simply
up and down here so the door handles are different it's all little small differences
and uh to the tv tax people uh this is a very very big uh computer monitor
thank you one thing i want to mention that we don't it's a computer monitor staircases a lot
of times the united states staircases just go straight up again i'll put a picture in and
in swedish homes i've noticed a lot of more modern swedish homes having more of a spiral
staircase which kind of utilizes more space this is the room that has the biggest differences
in it and this is our bathroom and i'm just going to show you a couple of unique things we have here
the first thing i want you to look at is the toilet and all although our toilet only has
one flusher here many toilets united states are going to have the flusher on the left or the right
here our home only has one flusher but most modern homes is a little bit older home most modern homes
have two flushers one that's for the p and one is for the poo and it's supposed to help with
the overall flushing as an american it was kind of tough to get used to because let me tell you
when i pee i still want to get that flush all the way out there i don't want to keep that it's still
there right exactly little extra thing now let me go ahead and show you our shower because this is
also a unique thing now most shower places in sweden utilize this space as you can see this
bathroom is utilized it's also a laundry room and this is really cool here because this is
a washer machine slash a dryer machine but most suites including myself we typically don't use
the dryer so much in the summertime we actually hang our clothes out which is a difference in it
from the united states for sure a sweet swedish we typically have a washer and dryer i'm actually
you know what i like about this guy he's actually classified classifying himself as a sweet and not
an american i'm not sure if he was born in uh sweden but it's a plus for me for somebody to uh
classify themselves as a swede because if i move to denmark i'm going to classify myself as a dane
as much as i do not look sound or speak the danish language my target would be to um adapt and to uh
be a representative represent representation of a dane sound like a dane look like a dane
you know if you don't want to be a dane don't go to dane to denmark that's my personal um that's
how i've always uh thought about things like if you don't want to be uh in finland or in russia
don't go don't go there for the special benefits don't do that do it because you love the place
because love love conquers everything when you go there because oh benefit or more money or whatever
you're going to become miserable after a while but if you do it because oh my gosh those nordic
lights so beautiful you're never going to get miserable about something that you truly love so
that's what i kind of like with this dude he's literally calling himself a swede i've noticed
that he did it two times we have a room for that so it's really cool we utilize the space here
um but like i said a lot of shower areas uh the bathroom utilizes the space because you have i'll
show you here how this closes this kind of folds in on itself here so we can fold we can fold this
part in a lot of times in american homes i've never really seen this in any home but uh maybe a
few the details most of our showers are completely attached to the wall here most of them are rotated
but in the swedish homes you can do this which is really cool because you want to go like this
this this you can reach all those areas with the pressure uh it's just one of those things that
we don't have the united states is common that i just find to be interesting yeah it is there but
it's just that you know it's kind of yeah this is the recording studio this is where all the magic
the youtube magic that anything happens here but one thing i want to talk about well is the lights
here and how they work i'll show you and maybe this happens in the states bow thank you so much
but you can see that like you can actually just like pull this off the wall here and unplug it and
you can take the whole thing down i'm not gonna do that now because i won't be able to put it back up
as you can see here i'm not the tallest guy but uh i i never noticed this in the united states
if i'm wrong please please tell me no that's that's not no yeah i think that's different hey
guys welcome to my bedroom i just want to show you one vinyl thing and that has to do with the
uh the way that the final bed sheet of the big bed sheet is in the united states what's different
about this is that uh it's just one sheet by itself and these swedish sheets a lot of times
you can see here there's like a sheet actually an inner sheet inside here you don't wash this part
you wash the outside part our sheets is like one big sheet yeah one piece the final sheet i guess
and we wash it but not all the time not as often as you watch everything else in your clothes
and i want to talk about this flannel thing this uh the wall here um the parts in the american
homes we usually have like a little bit cheaper drywall some places you can just like punch right
in yeah you can punch right through it's uh concrete it depends on the place you're in
but a lot of these places are a lot more sturdy here uh and you're able to not punch through
them so easily not that i'm punching so much in the homes oh hey guys so thank you for checking
out this video uh i'm about to take a nap because you know i'm 31 i'm a bit of an old man right now
