Moving To Denmark, Our Culture Shocks So Far 

Pickups in denmark are way to expensive, We dont have cheap pickups like us and australia, on top of that it eats gas like an elephant eats trees and gas in denmark is not cheap. Nice vid and welcome to denmark hope you enjoy your stay...

Welcome to Denmark, hope you and your family, love your stay :)

Well as we say in Jutland “Anything that can be on a trailer is for sale” 😁👍

Nice to hear from someone not living in Copenhagen. :)

If you think about it, a pickup truck is just a hatchback with a trailer permanently attached to it. 99% of the time the truck bed is not in use, so why not detach it and save gas?

In case it hasn't been mentioned in the comments yet, I feel like I need to correct you on the speed limits lest you get stopped by the police. It is understandable if it can be confusing if you are unaware, but Denmark has a (apparently pretty unique) system where most speed limits are unwritten and will not be signed. The rule is if you are in a town or city the speed limit is always 50 km/h if nothing else is stated. In rural areas the speed limit is 80 km/h and on the highway it is 130 km/h. These limits apply unless signage tells you otherwise. If a sign is visible it overwrites the "standard" until the next intersection.

The idea with replacing the trailer with a bigger car, is a very English speaking thought process. That type of car is more expensive, higher fuel cost just so you can use to haul stuff without a trailer once in a while. It is much cheaper to buy a car which suits your every day needs and use it with a trailer when needed.

Very funny yet still informative. Enjoying seeing life from the other side of the world. 🎉🎉

Regarding the cinnemon thing. I am a Dane and 57 years old. I have yet to witness it first hand or have it happen to any of people that I know even a little. That is not to say it does not happen, but it is maybe more common in some parts of the country? That goes for the trailers as well. They call the hook a "Jutland hook" for a reason 😀

8:00 Check what they cost in registration tax and other stuff .. then you know why we have trailers instead hehe

Just a PSA from a Dane to the tourists: Don't actually drive over the speed limit. Our police can be pretty useless at times, but they are efficient when it comes to getting money from tickets, even internationally

That cinnamon canon is dangerous. One spark and boom! There have already been cases where people caught fire.

Hoping you and your family are enjoying yourself here in small denmark.. you are spot on..😂 what is life, if we can't do some warm teasing- all the best to you and your family..

Hahaha, fantastic video man, you are one original, proof that we are free to do whatever we dream of (almost). I really laughed at the speeding in rural areas. Good to hear you are enoying your time in Denmark

I'm a Dane and we live in the same small town 😊 I'm originally from Copenhagen moved here 16 years a go. If you want I'll can show you some of our local sights, fishing spots , hunting spots ect How this video got in my RU-vid feed baffles me a bit 😂

Hope you all enjoy living in West Jylland, we are living in the same city, very interesting to see an Australians perspective of our little place here in the Denmark.

I like your sense of humor 😂

Of all cities in Denmark and you move to / visited Skjern! Love it

Welcome to our contry 🎉

Trailer vs Ute: It rains A LOT here (as you've noticed) so for 200 days a year you can't use the trailer or flatbed unless you start mucking about with tarps and whatnot. And a ute is longer than a regular car, which is a problem in cities. So, take the "ute part" off your car and put it back on when you need it.

Bøfsandwich ?ive heard of it , is it from jylland only ?

My god, where in Danmark did you land? Far out in the countryside, it looks to me😂

Tell you live in Jutland without telling me you live in Jutland 6:45 xD

The American burger. Chef Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, served grilled ground beef between two slices of bread in 1900, an idea his family claims was original. The history of the hamburger chain restaurant has an indisputable history.

As usual, when I read or hear foreigners describing Denmark, I find it difficult to recognize their perceived reality. Has it something to do with my age or the fact that I live in a village 10 km to the west of the Jelling stones?

Being a Dane and lived here for many decades I don't recognise a lot of this. Must be very local.

We don't do that gravy stuff here in Copenhagen...

Welcome to Denmark, hope you all like it here.🙂

I min fætters restaurant serverer vi chips til vores dagens ret. Når det er Flæskesteg eller helstegt kylling.

just a bit of info: On the smaller roads the speedlimit is 80 ... it's just that the police rarely go there, so drive safely.

You nailed the driving in rural areas where the speed limit is 80 km/h you can just drive as fast as you want to. Just make sure to slow down if you get to a lower speed limit area or a newer grey VW follows you ;) And the danish game of chicken has always been a mystery to me i drive in a lowered old car towards a modern suv and for unknown reasons i am the one that has to drive in the ditch :/

Jylland, so much Jylland! And then there is Denmark... 😀

Well look at that, first clip and it's my hometown.

I've experienced most of the mentioned culture shocks too and I'm from Copenhagen 😂

You really don't have to worry too much about oupsetting the danes, most of us are pretty chill and have a lot of self irony, we can handle a few jokes here and there. Hell we make most of them ourselves.

Crisps draped in Gravy. also known as "Jyde-Nachos" The speeds and Trailers.... let me guess Central Jutland. the "Wild West of Denmark" . region with highest average Land Mass per Policeman and at least a few years ago, the region with highest average speed and most guns per resident. go figure.

😂😂😂😂 You got our number mate! From the looks of it, you're very much out west, although the bridges have allowed the sauce on the bøfsandwich to sneak further east. Utes would be great, and for a while quite a bit of them were sold, but it got killed off by taxes and environmental laws. Sorry. 🤷‍♂️

There are no speedlimits, unless you get caught. I am a Dane and a lover of sovs, but never had a bøf sandwich or chips with sovs. But I am already on medicine to reduce my cholesterol, so I'll skip it.

the bueff ......

As a native Dane I approve this message😅

Regarding the use of the flag at birthday parties. It is not uncommon to hear kids mentioning the flag as the ‘birthday flag’. To us it is not about patriotism or military, but a thing that symbolises ‘Us’ as in ‘all of us together and united’. I will immediately follow you 👍

Jeg er sikker på at I bor i Jylland. Det meste af det her, finder ikke sted på Sjælland eller i de større byer

As a dane in Australia, the most revolting thing I ever tasted was Vegimite.🤮

Brun sovs is not a sauce, it is in fact a gravy. It may translate such as, but a sauce is rather more liquid like redwine sauce. Brun sovs needs to be thiccccc

That Australian car gotta be hella expensive with our tax on gas here but hey if you got the money. Welcome to Denmark btw hope you find it comfortable

This is Jylland it’s a whole different country from Sjælland 😂

I think most people would rather want to own a trailer because there is a lot of expense in having an additional car just for the sake of not having a trailer

Det er så jysk som det kan være, Legoland, brunsove på chips og bøfsandwich, trailer osv.. XD

The throwing of spices at 25 and 30 is a rural thing. And rarely seen near Copenhagen

The cinnamon is when you are unmarried at 25 and the pebber is when you are unmarried at 30

Is Danish fast food really that vile these days? That bøf sandwich!!

we are not "abroud"... you are...

the cinamon is not a danish birthday tradition it is reginal, my guess is you dont live on sjælland if you think it is a danish tradition

Never had one of those burgers. Never seen a friend or family order one. They are disgusting.

Trailer alsow csld jydekrog

Don't say sorry for your pronounce of the danish word, you try and we really appriciate that :)

Welcome to Denmark,. While being Danish, I'm not sure I will be tempted to taste the gray-rich dishes shown in your video. Nevertheless, I would recommend our national dish: 'stegt flæsk med kartofler og persillesovs'. Enjoy.

Nice to see you all back. Yes, Jylland is known as the country of trailers. They are needed to all their dodgy transports.

The hook for the trailer is commonly known as a "Jyde-krog" (Jute-hook) because most people in Jylland has one on their car. We forgot to check for that last time we bought a car 😞- but luckily we have two cars so no worries still able to use the trailer... 🙂

the rented trailer is free, you only have to pay for insurance, and you can turn it off if you dont want it.

Officially danish, you've nailed the humor. You've gotten to taste bøfsandiwch and you got the jydepram. What's not to like!

Chips with brown saucew on it it Godlike. That x-mas brown sauce made with duck fat and the chips. oh my. Kreygasm

You might meet vlado when speeding on the road. He is a nice guy, but can be expensive to meet him.

Great attempt at Bøf Sandwich, and the cheese on chips and gravy idea is great though i have never eaten it quite like that :D I quite enjoy seeing others moving to denmark and how they react on it and our oddities :)

With a trailer, you can "disconnect the bed" when not in use. If you use the bed almost every time, a truck makes sense, although a van is probably better suited for Danish weather. In the opposite case, a trailer, in my opinion, makes more sense and allows any car to do truck stuff (minus the off-road capabilities). An empty bed doesn't do your mileage any good, and even with a cover, things still get dirty back there, unlike a trunk.

oh you are on the vest cost

We Danes are quite a strange tribe, and you have a great eye for it! Welcome.

No No No!!! we dip the potato chips in the gravy. Not cover our chips with gravy.

great video , funny , ironi , hope your family like here , have a nice day✌

I've never seen brown sauce on chips??? But I'm quite new here .. only lived in Denmark for 65 years ... wait? I am 65 years old!!

pouring brown sauce OVER the chips .. no no sir.. we dip the chips in the sauce... we hate soft chips.... you made a big faux pas and the cinnamon thing he made is actually pretty dangerous using that amount of power with cinnamon... the chemical KUMARIN is in large quantitiers harmfull... BUT it's still a super funny event....

42 yr old single dane from Copenhagen here.... I was never "seasonned"... It is more a rural thing.... and I never heard of anyone eating gravy on chips... LMAO... I do however eat cheese on my nutella sandwich and remoulade on my leverpostej sandwich...

Good to see you back and all set with a trailer. Now you´re real Jutes. Hoping all is good🍀

Shoutout to myself for guessing this was Skjern just from seeing the cobblestone, and the square.

As a native Copenhagener (Københavner) these customs seem just as alien and strange as it might to you 😅😅

Lovely video. I'm subscribing

As an Aussie living in Denmark, I can confirm Your observations. 🤠👍🏼

are you the voice behind korg from thor? You sound alot like him, like its UNCANNY! like WOW!

Very nice video! The cinnamon and pepper thing: Never heard of it, and I've lived in Denmark for 68 odd years. Ans some evens, too. About the bøfsandwich: Never saw, let alone ate anything like what you showed us. This is not a critique! I just think you live in Ribe or Tønder, or somewhere close to the german border. Come, come to Copenhagen, København, and you can eat real food! More choices in a more globally oriented part of the world. Seems like people in Jylland (Jutland) are still back in the sixties, when America was progressive........................ Potato chips with brown sauce: see comments above. Never heard of it. I live in the capital city. About driving: Now I know you're just joking. I admit you're funny, or fynno if you will. We also have the famous flying cows delivering milk shakes to people with diabetes... About the trailers: We here in Copenhavn call it "jydekrog", Jutland or jute hook. Because you have them in Jutland predominantly. Nice thing in the country side. And it confirms my theory about your "situation"... And I saw the sign saying Skjern, which puts you in the area of Ribe again. One of the oldest towns in DK. I wish you good and better luck, and welcome to our kind of crazy! Nice music, too!

We dont use gravy on potatochips, unless its around Christmas... But when we do, we do it big time! And we dont have free speed on "rural" roads either. Some seem to think we have, but its between 60-80kph, depending on the signs. As a general, its 80kph if no signs around. But insert your brain, before doing that. A tractor might pull out, and then... well, your fucked. Trailers... yeah we have quite a few. Yutes or pickup-trucks arent that common here. - Most people that can legally drive with a trailer, cant reverse it. Its quite funny to watch. But dude, welcome to our tiny country. Take care of your family, and stay safe.

There's no brown sauce and pickled beet root in or on a bøf sandwich.

So you live near Skjern, huh? Go to Stoppestedet for your next Bøfsandwich, it's so much better then Ringvejens Grill. Can't even compare.

If people don't move on a narrow road you just pull your car more and more to the center off the road. THEN they will move! 🤣🤣

both the cinnamon, and pepper tradition is stupid. my friends would never put me through that.

N1! - Welcome to, Hope you find yourself comfortable here, also with our crazy customs! 😅 ...hvor i landet er i så flyttet hen, btw? 😉

Love everyting about this clip

You´re right about it all😂 So funny watching this as a Dane🤣

This is so Jylland coded

The first thing that really made me chuckle was that you know you're out in the Danish countryside when you come across a beat up old car with 'Deer III, Rabbits IIII, Foxes I.. Københavnere/'insert nearest city boys' II' scratched into the driver side door. I've caught 3 or 4 so far in various iterations. Starting to think it could be the 'I gave up on the restoration' signal. Old man had an 80s Hi-Lux growing up, with the Toyota go faster stripes. Yellow plates help. They help, they don't cover the difference but they do help lol. Set up the channel as a business and you have work related reasons for driving the company car whenever* (this is not financial or legal advice lol). Sadly we can't set up with a few chickens and call ourselves farmers any more but there's room for the creative necessities. When you get to buying a boat - there's wiggle room too.

5:30min Laughed my ass off :D :D :D

Everybody here have heard about it and of course know the old traditions...but most of this cinnamon and pepper spraying only exists the country side of Denmark...I have lived in south east of Denmark for few years, and many more years in Copenhagen, . I have never seen it in real life myself. You might buy som pepper in the store, and rap it up as a joke, but that's it. There is a difference between the tradition in the different part of Danmark, but I did not recognize much in this video, except that it's funny and entertaining😊

It's not the autobahn😂 There's always a speed limit in Denmark. Remember that or you'll get a ticket one day, maybe even lose your car if you truly think it's like the autobahn🤣

The way you say pølse sounds like you are from a middle eastern country 😂😂😂

bøfsandwich without gravy is a sin. also never heard of potato chips with gravy on top seen ppl dip them before.

You obviously reside in Jutland 😂

Ja kage er altid godt.

Some of the things you describe are only found in Judland though. The rest of the country does not serve any type of burger or sandwich with brown sauce on it, as an example. Nor do we generally cover people in cinnamon XD ... We don't really serve potato chips as anything but a snack in a bag like the rest of the world eats it either (As I celebrate Christmas with my family in Judland some years I do tend to eat them at Christmas though).

Could you sound more borred??

The classic Steak sandwich from 1949 is without brown sauce.

Hey Brendan, you got it right......and yes, the bøfsandwich is amazing at the lokal grill, i come there too for that....i live in Dejbjerg and will give a high five if i see you. 🙂🙂🙂
