Ah, new beginnings! It's like being given a blank canvas and a fresh set of paintbrushes.

The possibilities are endless, just like the confusion and chaos that comes with moving to a new country. Especially if you're moving from the Balkans to Sweden.

Let's just mention a few obvious ones.

First off, the weather. In the Balkans, we're used to sunny days and hot summers; not to mention that we're used to having four seasons. But in Sweden, it's a whole different story. The seasons only theoretically exist. You'll need to get used to freezing temperatures, snow up to your knees, and a never-ending darkness during the winter months.

On the bright side, at least you'll have a valid excuse to wear that ridiculous-looking fur hat you bought as a joke back in the day.

And then there's the language. We have our own unique way of speaking, filled with passion and emotion.

In Sweden, however, everything is so calm and collected, it's almost as if they're whispering all the time. You'll need to learn a whole new set of words and phrases to communicate effectively. But don't worry, just keep practicing and soon you'll be able to ask for directions without accidentally insulting someone's mother.

Food is another thing you'll need to adjust to. We're all about the meat, cheese, and carbs. Here they love their fish and vegetables. You might find yourself missing the taste of your grandma's homemade burek or pita, but trust me, you'll get used to the taste of pickled herring eventually.

But despite all the challenges, moving to a new country is an adventure like no other. You'll meet new people, experience new cultures, and most importantly, you'll learn to appreciate the little things in life.

Like the warmth of a cozy blanket on a cold winter night, or the satisfaction of finally understanding a Swedish pun.

So, to all my fellow compatriots out there who are considering a move to Sweden, don't be afraid to take that leap of faith. Embrace the new beginnings, and who knows, maybe one day you'll even start saying "fika" instead of "kafa".

But let's not get ahead of ourselves, baby steps.
