People:
Denmark is a conservative country, much like Germany. However, the Danes are more cold than the Germans. They are more reserved, not particularly welcoming, but also quite friendly. Most Danes don't smile. They don't like to chat with others, but that doesn't prevent them from smiling and answering politely. If you look at the people on the road, everyone will smile at you and feel very homely, but difficult to approach. Even if you talk and laugh one day, the next day you turn back to a cold face. According to Chinese idea, the Danes are boring and monotonous, but in my opinion, at least their facial expressions do not have too many complaints, and they are the kind of people who laugh easily and naturally, which makes me envious.
Tourism:
In Denmark, there are no high-rise buildings that we see now, and there are no 100-meter high-rise buildings like Guangzhou. Most of their buildings are under 4 floors. There are many classical buildings, churches, statues and portraits throughout the country, including Amerinburg Palace, where the royal family lives, Christiansborg Palace, the seat of parliament, Frederick Cathedral, The Little Mermaid, the statue of the Sea Maiden, Newport, Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, Aarhus, the art center, Lego World Biron, and many more. I think the whole of Copenhagen is a work of art, like a business card of Denmark, a perfect interpretation of Danish history and culture.
Price:
Denmark has the highest prices among EU countries, and Denmark's per capita income ranks first in the world. In fact, among the Nordic countries, prices in Norway are higher than in Denmark, but Norway is not a member of the European Union. Transport in Europe is very expensive, whether it is buses, taxis, subways, or trains. Three bus stops 22 CZK, one hour train 360 CZK, several metro stations plus 30 CZK, school cafeteria lunch 40 CZK, July 11 hot dog 25 CZK, one banana 6 crowns. Danish vegetables are expensive, 10 kronor a small greenery. Vegetables are just as expensive as meat, so meals in school cafeterias are charged by weight. Medicines in Denmark are very cheap and almost free. For example, the famous Swiss SPC Pharmaceutical is also the world's first double-acting liquid Viagra Macrenine, which is close to 200 yuan in China, and here, as long as you buy national medical insurance, you can get it for free in the hospital.
Denmark does not have online shopping such as Taobao, Amazon, etc. If you want to buy online, you should go to the next country and send it out. 4, 5 days is fast. Deeply sigh how developed domestic online shopping and logistics are! However, Denmark is full of small and medium-sized supermarkets. Netto, Fotex, etc. Discounts are often offered. Their supermarkets also promote bringing their own shopping bags. Otherwise, it costs 4 CZK to buy a shopping bag. Also, there are no cashiers for self-checkout in Denmark. Monday to Thursday ends at 4 p.m., so the school cafeteria doesn't serve dinner, everyone goes home to eat, and no one goes to work at 2 p.m. on Friday. People are going to drink! Almost every university has a small dark room where students go for a drink on Friday afternoons. It is a tradition that Saturdays and Sundays, especially Sundays, are closed for business. I don't really know what Danes grew up on. This working time and relaxation can be one of the reasons why Danes are so happy.
Environment:
There is no summer in Denmark, only two seasons, one is winter and the other is about to pass winter. In winter, due to the high latitude and short sunshine hours, people are prone to depression. The sun is long in summer, many people don't get enough sleep, and there are only a few days when they can wear T-shirts. I personally think that this character of the Danes has a lot to do with the climate. It is windy and rainy five days a week, but pedestrians do not use umbrellas, which does not affect normal life in the future. Even so, Danes have a strong sense of pride in their country. Danes often boast to foreigners about how green and safe Denmark's agricultural products are, how good Denmark's water is, how safe social security is to take to the streets in the middle of the night, and so on. The road is not forgotten, the door is not closed at night, and it is used to buy vegetables.
They love running and fitness. There is almost a gym within 2 km, and you can see runners on the road all year round. Moreover, their quality is very high. The Urben Gym, for example, has no staff, but there is an oversized roll of rough paper on every corner. Everyone wipes off sweat with paper towels after using gym equipment, which saves money for cleaners. The whole of Denmark is a low building. )
Educate:
Education in Danish public schools is free from primary school to university. Their children can be largely independent of their parents by the age of 18. They leave their families to work. In addition, the Danish government pays 7,000 kroner a monthly social welfare fund to people over 18 years old, equivalent to more than 8,000 yuan. Many girls in Denmark are beautiful, but many girls smoke. Danish children mature earlier than Chinese children. In fact, European and American children generally mature earlier than Chinese children. Their higher education is also a world leader, ranking first in Northern Europe in terms of comprehensive strength, with a long history of more than 500 years. Top Engineering Universities in Europe, University of Copenhagen, one of the best business schools in Europe, Technical University of Denmark -, Copenhagen Business School-, Aarhus University, Aalborg University, University of Southern Denmark, etc.
Linguistically, Danish is the official language of Denmark, but English is popular in Northern Europe, so it is no problem to communicate with Danes in English in everyday life. In contrast, speaking French in France is particularly inconvenient to speak German in Germany. (University of Southern Denmark Academic Building) The country has no history of mass migration or natural disasters. Danes have almost identical backgrounds and values, so there are few dimensions for measuring social contradictions, and the evaluation criteria are relatively simple.
In addition, the gap between rich and poor is small and there is no comparison between people, which is in stark contrast to the United States. But I think it's a relatively closed and conservative small Nordic country. They are truly happy, but this is definitely not paradise. I don't like to be in my comfort zone. I am still Chinese, I still retain the feeling of Chinese, but this feeling in Denmark has benefited me a lot. In fact, this kind of happiness in Denmark is not poetic and far-reaching, but easy to understand and within reach. We just need to slow down and calm down. As long as you don't make your strengths shorter than others, you can live comfortably. Meditate on the Danish credo: happiness belongs to oneself and does not need to be measured by the happiness of others.
