[@LarryFleetwood8675]

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.

I have not seen the mermaid in Denmark, but I have seen a copy in a place very far away. There is a resort called Danish Lagoon in Siquijor, Philippines that is designed like a theme park of HC Andersen and on the beach you will find the mermaid. The place is owned by a Danish couple.

[@idajans9990]

Really good video

[@pgpc6448]

Very interesting as in the states we consider it disgraceful to announce a teacher by first name…outdated for sure.

[@shaving_ryans_privates_4408]

@@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.

[@pgpc6448]

@@shaving_ryans_privates_4408 America’s got a lot to learn and reform from countries like Denmark.

[@freewithnature]

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.

[@shaving_ryans_privates_4408]

@@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]

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!!

[@ladym1082]

Haha you’re so cute! I love your vlog it’s so real 💯. Thanks for this video :)

[@GapiSlo10]

Great video really interesting to hear all the different things about Denmark. My GF and myself are planning a visit at the end of October from Slovenia. Do you plan on making any sort of travel guide since most videos on that topic seem to be at least a year old! Would love your input on it. Have a great day! :)

wait what?!?!? it rains for 170 days in Denmark?!? LOL! I've lived here for 47 years, since birth... I think 17 days is closer to the truth...

[@rockchickdk]

I've never seen it Rain for 170 days a year either and we do get warm weather during the summer

If you look up national statistics, it is way more than 17 days. That’s a single month of rain avg. it’s definitely over 140 days a year of rain on avg for the entire country

Hi, I'm Danish born and bread. 58 years old NOT from Copenhagen though I think most Danes are fluent in English the children as well we learn it from the 1st grade now I learned it from the 5th grade. I think that apart from really old people we all understand English that's why on our public transport in Copenhagen is also in English so that people from other countries also understand the announcements on the speakers.🎉
