My Denmark Top 10 (Not What I Expected) 

Cant reply - Im not as well versed as you, but ive visited 5 continents and at least 25 capitols. And I can hands down say there isnt a top thing. I kinda have to go umbrella and just say that the best thing about denmark is being here. edit; Oh I found one. I absolutely love that were serious in our attempts at going green..

- Corruption, well more correctly... The lack thereof. :ø)

Oddly enough, I like parts of the concept Jante Loven/Law of Jante, A concept observed and first described by a other expat long a go. What I like is it don`t just apply to me, but also bosses. You are not special or better then the rest. Well maybe it`s not odd, just so unspoken, but since it`s still a concept most understand must be a lot of people like it that way. Wiki You're not to think you are anything special. You're not to think you are as good as we are. You're not to think you are smarter than we are. You're not to imagine yourself better than we are. You're not to think you know more than we do. You're not to think you are more important than we are. You're not to think you are good at anything. You're not to laugh at us. You're not to think anyone cares about you. You're not to think you can teach us anything. The Law of Jante (YAN-tuh, Danish: Janteloven [ˈjæntəˌlɔwˀən, -lɒwˀ-])[note 1] is a code of conduct[1] originating in fiction and now used colloquially to denote a social attitude of disapproval towards expressions of individuality and personal success.[2] Created by the Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose, it has also come to represent the egalitarian nature of Nordic countries.[3] The "Law" was first formulated as ten rules in Sandemose's satirical novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks (En flyktning krysser sitt spor, 1933), but the attitudes themselves are older.[4] Sandemose portrays the fictional small Danish town of Jante, modelled upon his native town Nykøbing Mors in the 1930s where nobody was anonymous, a feature of life typical of small towns.[5]

That lovely Danish sarcasm. When anyone else does it they are a condescending prick but it's SO funny when you guys do it

thats a good one Parking your kid outside in a stroller, or walking home at 4am? No probs.. Freaking love it

denmark boring , London is way better .

That’s so nice

Thank you!

Thanks !

I personally wouldn't live in small town Denmark, but it's my thing maybe

That’s amazing

Although fishing is illegal, but yeah....

The point of time is super important, agree - then on wealth agree, though for many of us we want more things, have more “needs” 😀

LOL-- This is another thing I love. Theres not this fear of strangers. - We might be reserved and not so comfortable with talking to strangers. It can be hard to break the ice. But theres no "stranger-danger" here, and it often is simply a matter of breaking the ice. And a public playground is defo not a dangerous place. 🎭

Does your wife take the kids to the Eesti Kool? I don't speak Estonian myself, I'm the one doing the Spanish playdates 😀

There are no formal rules as far as I know

@@MarioScianHQ There is no formal rule, and I´m pretty sure the "foreigners" part also depends on how long time you have lived in Denmark, I believe (again not sure) there is a difference if you are refugee that have been here a Year or two or if you have Moved here to study / Got Married, and lived here for 10+ Years. What I am trying to say is It would make sense to me, that the longer you have stayed the less it will have impact the amount required.

Officially you can only swim at the designated points, in practice you can always jump if you do it quick - but my point is that it’s incredible that you can do that in the middle of the city regardless

​@MarioScianHQ yeah, to me it seemed more like you were making a point of the cleanliness of the water in the canals and harbour, as opposed to the legality of jumping in everywhere :)

Thats just because of the danger of collision, as far as I know. 🐋⛵⛴

Thanks for sharing

Any real Dane would consider Norway as a part of Denmark!

bb

Yeah it’s not for everyone

We cant do much about the weather...which by the way is super lovely.... What beats clean air and clean water?? The taxes... well most of us pay it without much fuss because we know, see, experience what we are getting for our money.. Its a very transparent system... Not a lot of public funds disappear into wrong pockets.

Then why can't you speak English? I doubt you.

Are you Dennis?? In which case: Hello.... or are you Danish?? In which case: Hej...

Terrible it’s a tough word to use

It's better than your spelling.

@@mikeyb2932 LOL.. den sad.. haha
