Anyone who's ever lived there, please tell me about it. I'm interested in just about anything. The people, the food, the culture. I know this is a broad question; honestly, I'll be happy with anything.

I have visited there for 2 weeks - great place. The people are friendly and love to ask questions about the US. I love the food and the culture. Just be aware - it is cold... very cold in the winter

I've lived here for a little over a year now, and I really like it. The people are usually quite nice, although a little reserved at times, but always willing to help :). The food is great, but I do miss a lot of the American food that I am used to. In Denmark people make almost everything from scratch, so it's difficult to find some of the "ready made" items. I really like that people are so willing to hang out in a nice quiet setting and drink tea and coffee and just be cozy with everyone. It gets kind of gray and depressing in the winter, so having friends makes it much easier to deal with :).

i'm from denmark and have lived in copenhagen all my life. I love cph, i think its a beautiful and interesting city even though its not very large. I like denmark, but i think i would hate it if i lived anywhere else than cph - i hate being on the country in dk, it is very boring! Sometimes during the summer its okay to stay a week or two in northern sealand (Helsingør or Gilleleje). its true that it gets cold here during the winter, but its nothing compared to sweden, norway or the other scandinavian countries.

I'd lived in Aalborg north of Denmark for about 10 years and honestly, as inappropriate as it may sounds(but it's the fact) i couldn't wait to move out and i did. It's not that easy to describe in few words. Although time to time i miss those days quite a lot, but i start to realize the times that i was unhappy. As matter of fact, i took a loooong! vacation to Denmark for 4 months to visit all my friends and revive all the old memories. It was such a joy&fun and i always believed, as a tourist, it's fantastic place to go and it was. Danish people can be nice to the highest, intelligent ( some arrogant & selfish as hell also reserved), very modern,...........there're lot of good qualities about them. The weather can be relentless in the winter & occasionally ''helish'' boring and nothing to do. Girls are awesome- sexy and all that and i sure had a great deal of that(not to sound too corny!) Traveling across Europe is easy as pie. One could take the ferry to Sweden, Norway, Germany as one take a bus to the next town. And taking the train through out the Europe could be an experience of a life time in which i dearly miss. So convenient, relaxing and fun. But expensive though. One of the main problem is the 'racism' and as a minority i had few near death experiences when i was attacked by almost dozens of what they call ''Rocker''. Basically, if you're a black hair individual, thus on day to day basis, you'll be called (by some) sort svin (black pig), spit on, bad looks and middle finger is just a every day thing. Through the years, it becomes a real issue. Also as an Immigration agent (Dansk Flygtning hjealp), i saw it first hand an I'd always been disgusted about.
