The Danish Experience

Dear Travellers,

A few of my observations in my months here. I leave in weeks three and am glad to see the back of the place, or the people ( for those of you who understand - nudge, nudge, wink, wink ).

Don’t be startled if you get off the plane and find everyone seemingly grunting. It’s actually the glottal stop that the Danish language has and is not so prominent in the English. The only example i can think off is- Hitler. The little deep throated ‘i’ is dotted in nearly every word/sentence giving the Danish their distinctive language.

Rye Bread is to the Danes, what chips are to the Brits. They have it soooooooooooooooo much. For those not familar. Its waxy, dark brown, smells distinctly unfamilar and tastes bitter. Laden with lettuce, and tomatoes and boiled, chopped eggs and potato…the Danes have been ‘seen’ eating it with knives and forks!!!

Please beware when boarding buses! One entrance and two exits. Thats three doors on a single bus for you. Try not to stand in the exits as you’ll get beaten up for it, something i narrowly avoided. And clippercards have an added advantage, one clip is valid for an hour. Therefore you may have many rushed visits with people trying to make it on the bus back home with the same clip.

I thought UK had the highest number of animals per person in the whole world. Therefore i explained away the amount of dog shyte for that reason. I can proudly announce that i have seen more of it here, than i have anyyyyyyyyyyywhere in the whole world ( pak and Uk for me ). I say proudly, because i’d given my baby uk such a hard time about it :hug:

Cyclists. They have tons of cycles, and proper cyclist lanes and less cars. Good. They have these weird wagon sort of attachments infront of, or behind the bike and cart around their children in them. Odd. It may also amuse you to see businessmen, peddling away furiously as they dash around. Hair dishevelled, ties flying in the air, barely keeping their balance and hanging on for dear life. Freaky.

The Little Mermaid ( Den Lille Havfrue) statue is tinyyyyyyy. Don’t go expecting Statue of Liberty ( like i did ). The womans absolutely tiny. Any wonder why yobs have been able to hack her head off three times. Theres nothing to it!

Try not to think of it if you’re on holiday but the Danes don’t really like ‘foreigners’ all that much. I personally think they are not as friendly as the Brits.

Last but not least comrades. AVOID IT IF YOU CAN!!!

Ever the Helpful,
Duckette :smooth:

Re: The Danish Experience

AhaN....someone's ready to take off from DK.. :-)

Re: The Danish Experience

Hahaha, YES!

I’m done with my travel and live abroad experience. :hehe:

Re: The Danish Experience

disco duck, very nicely written!! may i ask you where you lived in DK??

after reading that , I still wanna go to Denmark to see it myself...but as a blond norwegian speaking gal, I'm not afraid of their "i don't like foreigner attitude"....

Re: The Danish Experience

Thanks sweets.

Copenhagen, sorry.

Re: The Danish Experience

Copenhagen is nice for a short trip, a week to two may be. Living in Copenhagen would be boring. One more thing, bicycles are a free ride, get one by paying a coin & drop it to ur next destination & get your coin back, exactly like a shopping trolley. The only problem with it is, the rubber tyres are airless.

Danish girls are really pretty & were friendly to me at least. There is a law again dog poo, but ya people do walk dogs and leave the poo behind.

Re: The Danish Experience

Agreed.

Short weekend break ONLY!!!

Danish girls are not pretty. I hate blondes. ESPECIALLY when they are 7 foot giants :hehe:
I have never seen such tall people in my life. We in England are small compared to the Danes.

Coming to think of it, there are SUPER HOT arab and turk girls here. Pure beauty.

Re: The Danish Experience

i saw danish and thinking it with Kaneria!!!:smack:

Re: The Danish Experience

Ah Copenhagen. I believe it was the last European city to be indiscriminated blasted to bits by the Royal Navy, way back in the heady days of 1807.

Re: The Danish Experience

Isn't Copenhagen like the sex capital of the world? When I was young, I was told Copa was the place to visit for a 'long weekend'

Re: The Danish Experience

Fungus: aap kabhi young bhi thay?????:D

Re: The Danish Experience

Rye Bread is healthy n thats why its a part of our regular diet. :snooty:

the 2nd door is for prams n wheel chairs :halo:.. abt having many vistis wid one clip it depends on how kanjos the person is :snooty:
