💸 A Swedish businessman paid 125% tax.

After a long legal fight, a court ruled that the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) must pay him back over 13 million SEK.

But instead of following the decision… Skatteverket refused.
 Now, Kronofogden is demanding money from the state itself.

🕵️‍♂️ And it gets worse: 89 Skatteverket employees accessed his private records without reason. There’s now a criminal investigation into data breach and misconduct.

Legal experts call this case “exceptional.” Because when a government agency ignores a court order - who holds them accountable?

I got stuck on a quest in Oblivion back in 2011… so I looked up a gameplay video and realized - wait, people record themselves playing games?! 😮 I figured I could do that too.

That moment led to launching my YouTube channel, becoming one of the first Minecraft creators in Poland, and meeting a fellow gamer who lived in Sweden.

We were both successful YouTubers from 2011 to 2014 - what a wild ride.

Now, years later, I live in Sweden with him as my husband, and I get to do what I love: creating content about a country I’ve truly fallen for, helping others move here, travel here, and fall in love with it too. 💙🇸🇪

The butterfly effect is real 🥹

Confused about glass bottle deposits in Sweden? 🧃🍾
Here’s a quick follow up to yesterday’s news!

Here’s what you need to know:
🔁 Yes, return system exists but only for certain bottles
🍺 Mostly applies to beer/cider at Systembolaget (about 60 products)
⬇️ Return rates were low - that’s why the deposit just increased
🧃 Most glass bottles (like juice or wine) = not returnable, just recycle ♻️
📦 Crate deposits exist but are rare here - more common in Denmark 🇩🇰

Swedes are pretty hardcore when it comes to recycling 🫧
 But when it comes to glass bottles? Not so much. 😅

Turns out, most people don’t even know that reusable glass bottles are still a thing and that you can return them for money. 💸

That’s why from June 1, Sweden is TRIPLING the deposit on reusable glass bottles to 3 kronor per bottle🧴↩️

Why the change?
 👉 Because only 15% of glass bottles sold at Systembolaget or grocery stores actually get returned.
 Even though they can be reused almost forever if returned.

You won’t find a fancy machine for them - you just hand them over at the regular checkout at Systembolaget (or at about 1,200 grocery stores around Sweden).

So if you’ve got glass bottles at home that say “returglas”…
 Bring them back and cash in ♻️💰

Possibly the best sushi we’ve had in Sweden 🍣✨ 
Or anywhere, to be honest.
We were invited to check out IZAKAYA by Komo @izakayagbg in Göteborg, and it absolutely delivered.
 Fresh, delicate fish. Dishes that come out as soon as they’re ready. Oysters that seriously raised the bar. And don’t even get us started on the mocktails.

The vibe? Cozy lighting, great music, and a team that actually knows what they’re doing.

Also: I tried oysters for the first time. I’m honestly a bit worried I’ll never find better ones 😂
 And the prices? Surprisingly fair. You’d expect to pay more for food that looks (and tastes) like this - but nope. Big win.

📍 Sankt Eriksgatan 5, Göteborg (just upstairs from KOMO) 🚌 Stop: Lilla Bommen (bus 18, 25 / tram 5, 6, 10, X) 🔗 Full review on the blog — link in bio!

Why is the korv med bröd always served with a cold bun in Sweden? 🥶🌭

The sausage is boiling. The bun? Cold. If not straight from the fridge.

Is it a tradition? A prank? IKEA’s fault? 🤣
I need answers! 😭

📲 Klarna is officially fed up with Sweden’s digital ID monopoly

After repeated outages in both Swish and BankID, including over 180 incidents just last year, Klarna’s founder says enough is enough.

🗣️ “The real issue isn’t Swish - it’s BankID. We need alternatives..” said Sebastian Siemiatkowski on X.

Right now, over 8.5 million people in Sweden rely on BankID for everything from payments to logging in. But with only one major provider, any glitch hits the entire country.

So Klarna is making moves. Not launching their own ID just yet but making it clear: change is coming.

💬 Would you trust an alternative to BankID? Or are we too locked into the system?

🚨 Strike warning at Systembolaget!

The union Unionen just announced a major strike that could affect up to 500 employees working at Systembolaget’s depots and HQ. That means deliveries to stores could stop, and shelves may start to empty fast.

And it’s not just about alcohol. If IT systems go down, some stores might even have to close temporarily. 😳
The strike is planned to start June 10 at 05:00, unless a new agreement is reached.
 Unionen demands: ✅ Higher wages ✅ Shorter working hours ✅ Overtime pay for part-time workers

Their message? Equal rights and fair conditions or no deliveries.
