Thread: moscow vs ST. PETERSBURG: COST OF LIVING

How interesting to hear your experiences! What brought you to Sweden?
I only been to Malmö a couple of times, and that was ages ago and I didn't like it. I can't stand the accent they have there. And I heard that it's mini-Iraq these days... Whenever I hear about it, Malmö nowadays, it seems to be about crime, rasism or something negative.
I just have a very negative view of the whole place.

I used to be a student in Lund.

Yes, lots of harsh people in Malmoe, ha-ha. Once I`ve almost seen a car pursuit, which enden with a tragedy not far from my place.

(I was walking nearby 5 minutes later, seeing lots of shocked pedestrians.)

Lund is just in 10 minutes by train, but is much more "european", polite, bright...

I didn`t feel that it was more dangerous than Russia, though. You can also compare crime rates using numbeo - the percentage of them is 3-4 times higher here in SPb than on Stockholm\Sweden (per 100 000).
