The variety is the spice. Most foreigners think Copenhagen is all there is thus the country (because of its size) must be like this everywhere, only that's really just one small part of the culture... For its size, it's still as different within as say Texas is to New York or L.A.

@pgpc6448 Год назад

Very interesting as in the states we consider it disgraceful to announce a teacher by first name…outdated for sure.

@shaving_ryans_privates_4408 Год назад

@@pgpc6448 Yeah, we Danes really appreciate when someone of a higher rank or authority is on the same level as everyone else. If a teacher walks in and expects to be referred to by their last name, the students won't respect them, and will most likely refer to the teacher as their first name regardless of the teacher's authority. The same thing applies to other people of authority like police, your boss etc. I don't know how people would talk to the judge in court tho, as almost all courts are behind closed doors and almost never filmed.

I think it would be awkward using my teachers first name. I mean when you speak to a police officer or the president you don’t use their first name.

@@freewithnature When police officers speak to me, after looking at my ID or something, they refer to me by the first name. I haven't spoken to a police officer where I knew their name, but I'd think it's quite natural here in Denmark for citizens to refer to police officers as well by their first name. We're just not that formal here.

@markp.7165 Год назад

Wow!! I am an older American and I was in Copenhagen a few years back with one of my kids who was working there for a short time. I learned more about the city and country from your video than I did when I was there. I enjoyed my visit a lot but I was struck by several things which over time I have come to a better perspective about. One, it did seem that most people out and about were young people 25-35 years old or so. It also seemed that everyone had money. I didn't see anyone who looked strapped for cash at least in appearance. It was very neat and clean and I found the people to be friendly and welcoming and I never met anyone who couldn't speak English. It had a bit of the same vibe as you get in a upscale planned community in the US where everyone appears to be similar. That alone can make you feel comfortable if you too fit that demographic which I did. It did feel crowed and the Airbnb we had was very nice but very small especially the bathroom. Last but not least I was blown away by the number of bikes. Bikes were literally everywhere by the hundreds or thousands. Anyway thanks for the tour and facts about your home country. You have a talent for doing this. I wish you well!!

One thing about income tax, if you're paying 55% income tax, you're not paying 55% on all of your income as its a tiered system. The first tier is tax free! As for what the tax pays for? One thing was mentioned here - student grants (or the "wage" as it was called). Others are subsidised childcare, free schooling, free healthcare, subsidised dentists, basic unemployment benefit, no university/ college fees, statutory sick pay etc.
