A few things we have learned in our short time here so far:
- Danes love to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries by sticking as many Danish flags as they can into cakes and rolls, plastering the Danish flag motif on wrapping paper, ribbons, plates, napkins, you name it.
- Copenhagen is not a friendly place for renters. Places to rent are hard to find (especially places that allow large 85 lb dogs), expensive, and require 3 months deposit (which you almost never get back) along with a few months pre-paid rent all before you even move in.
- Danes apparently don't like bath tubs...not sure what they do with washing 2 and 3 year olds!
- There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.
- And of course, Danes love fireworks!
Our first month here has been even better than we could have expected. We've met tons of really interesting, really nice people, experienced some unique food items, booked travel to a number of European cities, and embraced the concept of "hygge". We look forward to many more months to come!
