Our class have got this history project about Denmark, where we have to present it, as if we should present it to someone from another country. Then i thought, that what would be better than asking someone who actually live outside Denmark.
That’s where i need your help. Please write something that you think describe Denmark, or what associations you get from the word or something like that. If it’s not to much work, then also write what country you’re from. Thanks for helping :D!
I’m from the United States, and I was in copenhagen for 6 hours during a layover on my way back from Unicon in 2006. I went to the Tivoli gardens, and that was quite a bit of fun.
I didn’t really know much of Denmark at all before I went there, as there is virtually no education in the US on Geography. I assume your assignment was for people who haven’t been there but just hear about it, so I don’t know if I could be of much help.
If you want, I can go more into depth with my little 6 hour experience of Denmark, if that will help you.
If you only were there 6 hours, you might have made a quick picture in your mind of the country. That means you only have got the most significant things, and thats kind of what im looking for :).
My mom’s dad came to Canada from Denmark, but unfortunately I never knew him. However, some of the bed-time stories that my mom used to tell me were old folk tales from Denmark. I still have the book, and I still flip through it sometimes. All the stories were about people from the small town of Mols doing silly things, getting fooled by practical jokers, and solving problems with ridiculous logic (I guess Molboes have a reputation for being simple, humour-loving people?)
So yeah, when I think of Denmark, I usually think of Mols. And about bread, cheese, beer, and Tonder (where I have some relatives) though that probably doesn’t help you
Yeah Sweden Well as you may or may not know, Denmark and Sweden have a little bit of history between them ^^ Some wars, some fueds etc. That’s why I have always thought of Denmark as Swedens little brother, you know We might have some rivality but in a “good” way like brothers.
Don’t take this the wrong way now, but I think you won’t cause Danes are usually kinda smart I also think of sausage (pölse) and beer You guys can drink & buy alcohol when you’re 16. In Sweden you have to be 18 to drink alcohol and 20 to buy liqiour :o
