Denmark Like and Dislike list

I have decided to ask a few of my friends who have moved from Denmark to give me a list of things they like and a list of things they dislike about Denmark. I decided to add dislikes so that you can get an idea of some of the strange things that go on here. Like small refrigerators, and having to shop 3 times a week. Also, all the stores close at 5:30 on Saturday. Or going to the store with a list of 5 things only to find 3. Lately, I have found myself staring at the shelf for something like brown rice, or a can of artichokes, or vanilla ice cream I keep staring I guess hoping those things will magically appear. I am spending like 5 minutes looking. Anyways, I am telling you this because you would never know unless I tell you, or someone shares with you their dislikes of Denmark.

I will keep the names of the people I have asked anonymous. Just know that everyone I have asked have kids, and have lived her for over 1 year.

Here is my 1st Guest.

As for your question....Five things I hated about it and five I liked? Well, I guess here goes.

Hated:

1. The people were very rude and closed off, insincere, arrogant,

2. The Ward

3 The weather

4 Having to go shopping so many times a week (I hate grocery shopping) It took too long.

5 The schooling they got at the international school, Doctors

Liked:

1 the architecture

2 the long lunches with friends and the friends that I made over there.

3 the travel

4 the horse back riding

5 the streets of Copenhagen

If I had to do over again. I would wait till my kids were grown and then just go with Scott I might have had a different view of it then. To visit Copenhagen I like it but to live there I don't think I would recommend it.

Sick, sick, sick

I have been sick for over 1 week. Last Sunday Isabella, came down with croup. Here in Denmark, they call it sea lion cough. I like that because her cough does sounds like a sea lion. So we have had that to deal with plus I am not 100% myself. Thank goodness for my sweet honey. He has taken care of Isabella at night. Sometimes with croup you can stop breathing, and that is pretty scary. Plus, there is a good chance Christina is going to get it as well.

Hopefully, Isabella will get well, and I can be back myself.

Delicious

One of the first things I discovered about Denmark was strawberry pies, or jordbærtærte. It has a sugar cookie crust, with a hard chocolate covering. Then it has a sweet cream custard filling. On top with glazed strawberries.

MMM, MMM, MMM Good Stuff!!


This pie only comes out during spring time, so we make an effort to enjoy it.
