Funny thing, as a norwegian I find both Denmark to have very cheap alcohol and cheerful people hehe says a lot about Norway :)

[pingvinererkule]

I think parts of what makes Scandinavians speak English so well is that (at least in Norway) people watch more American movies than movies from their own country, and (again, in Norway) they don't dub movies for people over the age of 11, while in many other parts of the world, they dub everything, both for adults and kids. So from a very young age, people watch English speaking movies and TV-shows, and that way they get fluent in the language without even working that hard. At least that's what happened with me.

I'm telling you as a Dane...I Think you have talked to the wrong people regarding the food part... Yes we eat the things your speaking off but mostly at lunch. The "real" Danish food you didn't speak off. Frikadeller, flæskesteg, stegt flæsk etc. Try it...

[oddicocidic]

I'm from Denmark and you got it all right, good job! PS Please dont talk to me...:)

You say our national dishes aren't good, but what I think the problem is with that, is that you should really know some locals, or maybe better yet, their mother who can make it for you, because the real national dishes are made with family love in mind and not in a restaurant. Maybe go to a "Kro" (or "inn" in english) in the countryside, they're more in the traditional sort of cuisine.

A note on designs:
A Dane designed the Sydney Opera House, and another designed a part of the interior of the UN building in New York.

[Hjerrick]

Dane here.
I try to be very friendly when tourists ask me stuff, but I have to admit, the point about danish ambivalence is very true. We like our privacy A LOT.

I 've been watching your videos for over 6 years before I travel to a country, and every time, I find a video about a new country I want to go to. Awesome channel

[TheRubyFeline]

We ventured into Copenhagen once while on a long layover.  Walking the Strøget, I think it was, there were many people.  I have to say the cleanliness and that stand-offish seeming respect for privacy really appeals to my introverted nature, haha, especially more so than say, the Italian temperament.

You should try heading for Fyn (Fuensland), there's a BIG culturel difference, same goes for Jylland (Jutland).
Copenhagen is busy and stressful, it's completely different in for instance Odense or perhaps Aarhus :)

[RamNaima]

Don't buy your beer in 7/11 unless you're desperate. :)
Just go to any supermarket and get the same, but cheaper, beer there. Nobody's going to judge you.

[casperchristensen]

About the open hours, most department stores are open til 8 all days.

First time watching ur channel and i like it. NEW SUBSCRIBER!

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is a lot more expensive than pretty much any other city in Denmark. They know that it's the city that tourists hit first and where only the rich Danes can afford to live so they abuse it and ups all the prices in restaurants and bars. Go to the supermarkets or visit the smaller pubs that are not on the main streets and you can find way cheaper beer and food :)

[krugmeister]

Tivoli Gardens...Lego...Royal Danish Guards...BEAUTIFUL Islands...

[drdewott]

It's kinda funny because a lot of people I know don't like modern danish design and I live like 30 miles from the center of Copenhagen. They didn't want their historical capital to be turned into "Hipster Hell" but it ended up like that anyway. I mean people get angrier each time a new skyscraper is constructed in central Copenhagen.

[Thepinkgirl]

I honestly don't know who could not like your videos! I love watching your videos, I learn so much from them! I hope I can go to all these places when I'm older...right now its exam season but hopefully one day!! :)

[oscarmrch]

I agree with you, when it comes to the silence in the public. However we do talk a lot in the public, when we meet someone we know, and by that point we don't really care about standing out on the bus or elsewhere, and are able to laugh and talk loudly in the public. But I'm not from the Copenhagen area, so I can't speak for them! xD thank you for another good video! :)

[Lorentari]

Grocery stores are open from morning until 9 PM mostly

[miks]

LOLed :D "If you approach someone on the street the guy will go home and be like: "There was some guy who talked to me today...(frowning)", but that's alright, at least they will have answered your question"

good one
