They didn't stare beacuse you're black. They stare here in denmark when they don't know you. I'm 36 and danish. And I get stared at if I go to a smaller town where they have never seen me. It isn't in bad meaning, its just. "Who are you" kind of reaction.
I live in a very small town in Denmark. And I do find myself turning my head to get an extra look while thinking "WTF a stranger??? Why is he here???"
But, you know, being Danish I don't actually ask....
@@hildajensen6263 Yeah, until theres beer involved you're a weirdo if you talk in public.
@@Kboman Precisely.
I like to think of it like The League of Gentlemen and their 'Are you local?' skits.
Being born in rural dk, and living in Copenhagen for most of my adult life, I can confirm, that stares from danes are mostly harmless.
It may well be that as an American you think the service in Danish restaurants is not top notch, but you are allowed to sit in peace and quiet and eat your food and you can spend all the time you want - you are not chased away from your table because the waiter must have new guests in to earn his salary - Danish waiters get hourly wages not tips as in the US
How much does dish washers make ?
@@bombay3201 About 19-21 dollars pr hour
@@bombay3201 The average is around 19 USD per hour. If you are under 18 it's a lot less.
In Denmark they don´t mind your colour... but your behaviour. I am Inuit/Greenlandic (Escimo)... and I love Denmark, have been living here since 2006. Love U´r videos and comments. Keep on the good work... Love U... Hugs Angel
Visit Denmark.... It is much more than København (Copenhagen) Our beaches are some of the most clean in the world and Denmark are sourrouded by beaches and ancient cities made by the Vikings.
Agree 100%. There are good people and a'**holes in all colours, it is how you behave yourself that counts. We don't care about colour. Sure, there might be a very few who do; but they are the aforemented a**holes.
Btw, if you are being stared at in a big city, it's probably if you are really beautiful m/f or something is very wrong, e.g. you are naked or harassing people. In smaller places it's because people don't know who you are. In Denmark we know each other by a very low degree of seperation.
I've lived on Møn, where Møns Klint is located, and people don't look at you because of colour, they look because they don't know you. And they think about what you're doing there
I grew up down there in the 90s and we barely understood that people not looking like us even existed at all. Like Møn being a tourist attraction is a surprisingly modern invention.
Pro tip: Do not tip in northern europe. Only if you're given a very extraordinary special treatment.
Don't tip unless you did something wrong with an order, for example if you made a delivery order to the wrong address, and they had to spend more time going to a different address.
I tip if I personally make them do extra work.
Food for thought.. We pay employees a reasonable living wage, and no one depends on tips, therefore meals will be a bit more expensive than in the states 😊 also, Copenhagen is more expensive than the rest of the country 😊
I love watching people talk about my country. Makes me reflect on all the good things here that I sometimes take for granted.
police does not turn a blind eye to the trade in Christiania. On average there's about 3 raids/week by the police out there....
A good tip for anyone wanting a drink in Denmark. If you're on a budget, and want a beer, go to a supermarket/Local grocery story or the like. A beer cost around 5-7 DKK which is around 1 euro/ 1 dollar :)
True and the important point is, that it is perfectly legal to take what you to the nearest bench/park/beach... and enjoy what you bought. No need to hide that you're enjoying a beer.
Denmark has beautiful beaches, all around. It has great night life. Denmark is generally an open hearted place, but you can run into crazy people just like you can anywhere. Be respectful, and you most often will be met with respect. From a multicultural danes perspektiver living here. ❤
Tivoli is not the oldest amusement park in Europe. Bakken another amusement park just north of Copenhagen (Klampenborg) Is, however, not only the oldest in europe, but in the world.
Im a girl, and i honestly feep pretty safe also at night. Denmark really is a pretty low crime country, and going down. 😊
I am so glad you found this video. About going out alone at night. I have done that a lot of times. walking home after a party or a night out. I have never experienced anything really bad. I know it happens, but I never experienced it, even as a girl. A few propositions of cause, but a "No thanks", was always enough. The cliff's he mentions, are called Møns Klint. Just incase you want to visit. I know it is hard with the strange letters. :) Great video.
Even as a girl you are still way less likely to get assaulted then if you were a boy.
Hey dar. I’m 18 from Denmark and have enjoyed watching your videos for quite a while now. I grew up in Copenhagen and often went to Christiania as a child, like every month. Apart from the drug trade, Christiania is such a nice warm and genuinely safe place. There is people from all around the world there, I recently went there with my mom, we sat down at a table where two other dudes were sitting, and turned out they were from Texas, and we just immediately started talking about life in Denmark compared to Texas, and it just felt like we had known them forever. It’s just such a diverse and welcoming place. Of course there is some less fun people there two, but you’ll be ok. There even is a kindergarten there for locals, and the kids just play by the water and it’s so cute to see. Much love from Denmark😊Definitely come visit one day. Also I don’t know if you react to music usually, but if you want, I would love to see you react some music videos by this danish band named Lucas graham. The lead singer of the band grew up in Christiania, and he’s made some songs “not a damn thing changed” or “7 years” there you can see a bit of Christianias real side❤️
Sorry if this comment was confusing, I’m not the best at explaining stuff😅
@@bellaviola9285 Det klarede du fint! :) Du er supergod til engelsk.
That burger better be changing my life.... That made me laugh :-D
Just too good Dar, from a white, middle aged Australian. Your reaction, and point of view on subjects such as this are eye, and mind, opening for me. Far better than what you might think of our football, or beaches. It's all good anyway, but I like to be educated with TH-cam as well. Cheers digger.
Hey Dar it will be great for you to visit some Scandinavian countries. But please don't make the mistake that many US tourists do and stay in motels and do the same stuff that they do at home. Definitely stay in a hostel so you can interact with other travellers and the locals of course. That's how you learn about other people and other cultures. You'll miss out on so much staying on your own in a motel room. You can stare at four walls any time. It sounds like your a little concerned of someone stealing your stuff in a hostel. Remember it's not the US and you can always ask the manager to put your valuables in the hostel safe. If your willing to go slightly outside your comfort zone, you'll love it.
Regarding the Metro. No need to learn timetables! In the Metro ring cars leaves every 2 to 4 minutes 24/7. Its driverless and have few cars but high frequency wish it what you want as a user. It are cheaper and faster to take the Metro from the airport to downtown Copenhagen. The ride costs same as entering a taxi. If you buy a card giving you access to the entire system for a day or longer it does not begin to count time before you use the card to "clock" into first ride.
Tivoli is probably a better experience in the summer to see the amazing gardens, or in December to see the amazing Christmas lights etc :)
if you ever visit Dar, please come in the summer months!
Thank you so much for reacting to this 🙏
I live not all that far from Møns klint and first let's be fair I think we have around 5 black people living here lol, but if a person around here stairs at you there's a bigger chance it's because you're speaking English, sure there are idiot everywhere but in general I believe Denmark is always in the top of ranked country's when it comes to safety, there are many solo young women TH-camrs that also tell how they feel really safe even in Copenhagen and just by default being the biggest city in the country should be the most dangerous place
Some trivia for you, Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary is Australian. She met Crown Prince Frederick when he was in Sydney for the 2000 Olympic Games.
Hope you come to Denmark one day.
I've definitely got some spots to recommend👌
Going to Sweden from Copenhagen take train or bus is much cheaper
Two weeks ago, (one week after this upload), a 37 year old female turist feld to her death from Møns klint.😪
People in Denmark who stare are harmless, usually people stare and admire when they see something/someone beautiful/handsome so take their staring as a compliment
Copenhagen has been a harbor city since it was founded in the late Viking Age ~ everybody always comes from somewhere else in a harbor city, so no-one batters an eyelid at a new face or a difference color combination. Also, Afro-Danes have been fairly common beginning with Generation X, because in the 70s everybody was boinking everybody, Afro-American music was hugely popular and Denmark was quite heavily involved with development projects in Africa all the way up into the late 80s... so... y'know... people meet... babies happen. And the looks he may have gotten in country side Denmark has nothing to do with prejudice ~ it's very simply the ubiquitous sentence EVERYWHERE on the planet, when you go into the country side: "you ain't from around here" ~ no matter who you are or what you look like. Denmark is safe and very-very safe. You can travel here without any interference, no matter what you look like or where you come from. 😊
In Denmark we treat people on who they are and how they act, not how they look, it's all about the persons merit.
Just how it should be.
Very likeable fella.
A normal beer cost less than a dollar in a store, 18 strong export beers cost 10,5 dollars in a supermarked. It can be very expencive in bars.
We use "Semunition" a lot during different exercises 😅 landed me several sore areas during combat training. I remember before a deployment we had a 4 week exercise were we used full force against each others teams😂
My task was to infiltrate the enemy base, do recon and if possible, take out leading personal, or gain special Intel... So, I did my job 😅
I hit my (in this exercise my enemy) commanding officer, a lovely lieutenant-Colonel, right in the forehead when he removed his helmet (rookie move) I was aiming for center mass, but the accuracy is really bad 😂
After the exercise was over, he awarded me with two extra days off, because as he said "You did what you were told to, you exploited my(his) lack of awareness and thought us all a lesson, you cleared out without getting caught, and, you only shot me once, which was 'nice' "... It was some fun days 😂
I just had to do the conversion from fahrenheit, and we do get hotter days and heatwaves etc, where it gets much hotter than the 70s, as he said! I have measured around 95F on my terrasse several times while I’ve lived in my current home (West Fyn southern Denmark)
In 2018 we had 85-95 for weeks and weeks (and a severe draught) while other summers are much colder and wetter and more windy.
A fun example is that on the 22nd of July 2022 there was high sun, barely any wind and the temperature reached nearly 95F here....
On the 22nd of July 2023 however it was grey, windy and the temperature did’t come over 62 :/
So its a lottery and you just never know what you’re going to get! 🤞🙏😅
The deer park is probably Dyrehaven. If you visit, you might want to visit Dyrehavsbakken also, which an amusementpark even older than Tivoli. They don't have an entry fee, so you can always go around and just check if you want to do anything or not.
If you go the Dyrehaven for the deer, I recommend finding the open field (it's called Sletten, ftr) in the evening when the sun is relatively low. All the does will comes out the trees to graze before sundown and there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of them.
If you're visiting, you can stay at our place (southern Copenhagen)
Great reactions. The nature area with cliffs he mentioned is Møns Klint.
You said you 'need a tour guide'. I live in Copenhagen, so let me know if you want a local guide showing you some hidden gems. Yes, it is an expensive city, but you can find alternatives to the $30 burger joints, expensive car parking etc. Like he said, it was the things he could have avoided that made his visit pricy. ;)
PS: Copenhagen is a very multicultural city, and open to all colors and types of people. That's one of the reasons I moved here 18 years ago from countryside DK.
From Denmark.
I live just north og Copenhagen, so i come to Copenhagen relatively often.
I often walk around alone, I never had a problem, not even those few times going home from a party really drunk.
The worst thing I experienced was when the bushes kept “attacking” me.
I guess if I was a girl I might stay at least two people together. But still you have to be really unlucky to get in to trouble anyway.
There was this American girl who did get in trouble not long ago, but that was because she got scared on the street, and cut someone in the neck with a broken bottle. The rules are strickt here for when you can do stuff like that as self defense. Guess her ability to judge the situation was clouded by her being drunk and probably not being used to it.
So got in trouble with the law.
I couldn't help but laugh a bit when he talked about Møns Klint being at the cost because I'm Denmark you will never be more than 54 km (which is around 33 miles) from the sea, we are surrounded by cost lines☺️
Also I'm not sure people started because of his skin colour, but more that it's someone locals don't know and also we secretly have prejudice against Americans so it might just be cause people could hear that he was American☺️
And a last note, the more you move away from the big cities the less diversity you will see in both skin colour, sexual orientation, colorful hair etc. I think it's because the community you might want to seek out is centered around Copenhagen or Århus on top of those 2 cities being the biggest university cities as well so young people go there to study.
If you come to Denmark I hope you will have a really good time and enjoy your stay♥️🇩🇰
The two places he is referring to is:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A6gersborg_Dyrehave
That is also the place of the oldest amusement park in Europe. Free entrance by the way
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B8ns_Klint
That is a classical place to visit
Of course Denmark has a lot more interresting places to visit. The important thing is not to visit to many places. That will only stress you
Møns Klint or The White cliffs of Møn. Is a 70 million-year-old chalk cliffs
If you want to go to Denmark when in Malmoe just take the train. Sooo much cheaper, and faster :-)
Taking the train to Sweden (Malmø) from Copenhagen is like 4 bucks :)
If the waiters were bending backwards for tip it would make me feel uncomfortable. I like to know they got descent pay and descent working conditions and that they don't disturb me every five minutes while i'm eating
Tivoli is the oldest amusementpark in the World and Tivoli garden is a restaurant 😊
We'd love to host you
FYI - a Big Mac burger in Denmark is about 4.4 dollars.
They were worried and just wondering why he chooses that path.
Tivoli Haven is an adventurous amusement park in the center of Copenhagen. Tivoli opened its doors in 1843 and is therefore the world's second oldest amusement park, which has been a huge attraction ever since ❤
Tivoli is the 3rd oldest and the oldest is Bakken, so we have 2 old amusement parks in copenhagen
@@Kallesen68 Yes and no. Tivoli is the second oldest continuously open. Prater was completely destroyed in WW2 and then rebuilt, so it's not that old really.
Yeah, parking guards in DK are "Nazi's", and they are hated here, at least the companies are (Europark). When parking make sure everything is OK, inside the lines, don't overstay your time and so on.
3:50 "4½ froes out of 5". Dar The Traveler: Except 1½ froes. is this black math?. that would equal 6 bruh.
if they stare its not because of your skin maybe they think you are hot !
Its cheaper to take the train from CPH to Malmø.
Best burgers you get at Gasoline Grill
There is KFC's in Copenhagen
regards safty guns are not alowed and we dont have anny serial killers so pretty safe .
the police is often at christinia
Copenhagen does not like cars..... :oD
under my skin im black to
take the train, if you want to visit malmö from copenhagen.....
🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
there is no one in Denmark who has anything against your skin color 100%, but unfortunately a number of immigrants have arrived in Denmark (and other European countries) who believe that their culture, religion and behavior must come before the Danish, (we and they know who we are talking about). it has created a destructive atmosphere in the perfect society. and when the Danes show their displeasure with these individuals, they are immediately denounced as racists. there is no one, and I mean no one in Denmark, who has anything against the color of your skin, but there are many who have something against the demanding mentality and primitive behavior that some welfare immigrants have shown in the last many years. if you come to Denmark (regardless of skin color) and you participate positively in society, then you will be accepted into society,if you only come because you want to demand without providing, and in fact cannot participate in society, because your "in Danish eyes " primitive religion, forbids it, then you should have left and gone to a country where you live according to your religion.

We have alot of different people here. There are bigots here, but the majority of us are educated open minded people.
❤️❤️❤️♾❤️❤️❤️🇩🇰
Note, stay away from the screaming goats.
Here it is - Møns Klint

Worth to mention tho, Public transportation is very effective.... IN COPENHAGEN... outside cph, any public transport SUCKS
Nothing is free buddy. Us the middle class pay for everyone els... Dont buy into the delussion.
Denmark has a large middle class, but its shrinking ! and they hostages. We cant save up, we cant afford the live where we are born, Our pusrchece power is shinking year by year...
Just remember succesfull danes, have a bad habbit of saving their money in a shell company in a foreign nation to not pass taxes.
what are u saying is free bro?? Denmark have the highest tax rate in the world, thats why we have all this "free shit"
Halifax is not a burgerplace it is a restaurant a 3star one AS Well
Being the "happiest country" does not mean we walk around laughing, or even smiling all the time. We still struggle individualy sometimes, but it's the knowing that there are safety nets set in place, should we fall. That takes a load of ones shoulders for sure. Our way of life, work to live model, fair wages and benefits also means that we don't all have to reach for the skies to be able to live a comfortable life. With that comes contentment, which explains the happiness question, IMO. Reaching for the skies is fine, but most will not "get there", so the feeling of failure in the end, certainly wont bring you happiness. Being content will.
Aaaand I totally commented this on the wrong video, lol. I just watched one of your other Denmark vids, addressing the happiness thing. Oh well 🤦🤷😆
