I have been to Denmark 🇩🇰 so many times and I loved every minute of my stay. The people are cool and very respectful and receptive to foreigners and if they wanna keep to themselves then that’s fine.

[@JohnSarfo-c8p]

It is what it is , if they don't want to keep friends that is it, they kind of reserved people going about their normal business. Your content always educate me, thank man Stevooo❤

Any Kenyan here? The Kenyan bracelet rules the world. Saw it with one of the guys

[@TimeWithStephen]

@@zurimaris4814 The man donning it is married to a Kenyan 😉

[@oluwadaraandy4945]

now I'm even scared to come to Denmark and study

[@TimeWithStephen]

@@oluwadaraandy4945 as a student, it’ll be much easier making friends with fellow mates (both Danes and international students) so you have no worries 😊

[@briancasa1054]

You will find like minded people when studying so don’t worry! Just show you want to learn the culture n everything will be fine!

[@TimeWithStephen]

@@briancasa1054 Thanks for the assurance. Are you an International student in DK?

[@Ben-k5q4k]

It's nice out here. Don't be scared. You can make friends with fellow international students but integration will be a bit of challenge

[@imhassane]

Honestly I think it depends. I thought the same about Czech Republic but I have never been so wrong about the country, everyone was welcoming and I had the time of my life there.

[@TimeWithStephen]

@@imhassane I think you’re right, it depends on a lot of different factors, and on who you are as a person. However according to Expat Insider 2023 reports under Ease of settling in category (precisely finding friends) Denmark ranked 53 out of 53 in that list while Czech Republic ranked 30. Therefore I think its safe to say that it’s a general issue expats face. Thanks for your input.

One of the best countries in EU. Comes with it's own challenges

[@TimeWithStephen]

@@BenjaminAddai-t1b facts! No country is perfect

[@abbanboasiakoh9824]

They just like to keep to themselves

[@dukeofistria]

They like to hang around people similar to them. And thats perfectly ok.

[@dukeofistria]

Because Dannish people, as other europeans want to hang around people who are similar to them. Africans and people from middle east are not that. Why is it so hard to comprehend that. Stop forcing people to accept everyone.

[@TimeWithStephen]

I don’t think you get the significance of this discussion. No one is forcing to be accepted. Being able to make friends with locals helps with the integration process which is a vital topic in any European country. Having this discussion will enlighten many foreigners so as to not have higher expectations and also not misjudge them.

[@solomonKachi7000]

Its interesting to people since in Africa people are very warm and inviting in most areas. You can end up being invited to someone's home just when you meet them as a foreigner

[@solomonKachi7000]

So its not simple common sense to people, these conversations have to be had so people can understand
