I have a possibility of getting work in Danmark and you videos have been so helpful in navigating my way through some of the finer points of Danmark. My mother moved from Denmark to the states when she was young, however after a recent vacation we took together to Danmark and Sweden to visit family, I was looking for employment before I left the country. She is also pondering coming back as well. I will not go into this blind. I have visited there many times throughout my life, however not till recently have I pondered moving back to my homeland. Grant you, the US is a great country in many respects, but I see many things that could be fixed, some common sense measures, but I feel the US is unfortunately, generations behind in this type of forward thinking. Witnessing a social democratic system with Many political parties, working things out for the betterment and happiness of its people, is geographically enticing. I especially loved you video on the difference in Taxes. I show that to my friends and the reaction is always the same. ( Hands thrown up in the air, walking away from the screen, saying,"what the heck are we doing" Through this hiring process, I am definitely more aware of how much more Europe in general values education as parts of the application process requires records of you secondary education and the 'Resume' in the US is 'CV' everywhere else. P Please keep the videos coming. Even my cousin referred me to one of you videos when I had a particular question. Enjoy your new home. Hawk
The prices in the USA are way higher than in Denmark - at least when you buy groceries. I’ve just been to Orlando and shopped at ALDI, Walmart and publix and an apple at ALDI was nearly $1 for one, toilet paper was $12 for a pack of 12 and it was like this with all groceries. We actually cut our vacation short because of the prices were so high. We only went out to dine 2 two times as the whole tipping situation is super stressful lol
Hi Joshua, much respect for your persistence in recycling. You are becoming a real Dane. And Miranda perhaps even more so with her statement about: "being at home in Denmark" Of course, in the USA there is also a normal every day, that is uninteresting for the news media of today, where it’s catastrophe that sell, an because of all its exposure we as persons tend to forget. I am looking forward to hear more about your road trip. Thanks for sharing.😊
I was on vacation in the US this summer, spending a few days in Chicago and then driving around Lake Michigan for 10 days - Chicago did not feel unsafe, even at night - no visible "crimewave", just a lot of good nightlife - Nothing but friendly people in Michigan and Wisconsin - nothing extreme at all Actually I met a couple of people who were afraid to go to Europe at the moment, because they thought Americans weren't welcome anymore because of the extremism and political turmoil in the news. That was kind of sad
Are you going to Germany visiting the worlds largest pumpkin festival ? Name is Blühendes Barock Ludwigsburg. Its big and they have a lot of pumpkin foods and pumpkin Alcohol to.
I was talking boardgames with the kids at the school where I work, and we agreed that every family house in Denmark with at least 1 kid will have a LUDO game and a deck of common playing cards, and most families will have a Monopoly game, a set of UNO cards and the dice for Yatzee (but it's 50-50 if you can find the little score-sheets...). Made me think: What's the "defeault" family games in the US?
Interesting question. It’s been a while since I played games as I think tv has changed that habit. But I think UNO and Skipbo were the most common in my family.
@@TravelinYoung Before Uno came around we were just playing a very similar card game called "Olsen" (🙄) with ordinary playing cards 😂 The game Yatze with 5 dice and the poker like rules ( full house, two pairs, 3 or 4 of a kind, little and big straight etc. ) is another old favourite here in DK. As kids in the 70s we also used to play a very fast, silly and hilarious card game called "Pis-Marie" (😂), which required great reflexes as you turned over cards while trying to be faster than your opponent to match them. Does anyone here still remember this card game and the rules or know where to find them? ( I think I have seen the name of a similar card game in English, but I simply can't recall it right now ). Anyway it would make for a really great family laugh during the coming dark and cold months, as well as keeping your body temperature well up, when the heat is being turned down, and the price of electricity goes up 😉
Most Americans wouldn't know Ludo. In the US it's known as Parcheesi. While the boards are slightly different they are both based off of the same original Indian board game.
I'm just back from a trip to the US too. I got some preconceptions shattered as well. Didn't see any holsters in California either... though there was a school shooting :(
Funny. I just spent two weeks I the US on a roadtrip in the same area, and I made the same observations about how Americans a more open too greed on a total stranger, and how the prices were getting suppressing high, and the high exchange rate on the US dollar, didn’t do me any favors. ………. And it also took me about a week, to get over my jetlag, when I got home.
Jetlag.. never really had it. But it's probably because, I've learned to sleep, at any possible moment during a journey, in my time in the military. Just 15mins can make a difference.
I always enjoy the seeing these videos. we didn't do any shopping at a grocery store when in Denmark this summer, but restaurant prices are 1:1 in our area in my opinion. Honestly we were shocked by one place we went to when we arrived back home at home, it was, something I don't recall when in Denmark.
Move to Lolland - you are greeted by EVERYONE on the street. You live in the suburbs of Copenhagen - it just doesn't happen there . (How do I know? I lived less than 12 km from Rådhuspladsen from 1965 to 2021-apr, when I moved to Sakskøbing. I do miss proper cafés, though)
Actually restaurant portion sizes in DK appear to have increased since I’ve lived here while US sizes are shrinking as an effort to save on costs. They are getting pretty close to one another.
Trader Joe’s sells chocolate mousse brownies with orange icing that look like little pumpkins. That is the only pumpkin thing I like there. It is not even made with pumpkin.
Last week my brother panted 1019 DK for me, because he has a company Bizz. Years of collecting in Sweden. Nobody can pant the DK bottles here and nobody can afford to pay the bridge to pant. Catch 22.
I have an idea - you could try make a video in Danish only - just for the fun of it - wouldn't that be cool? Oh, and I love your videos - just so you know
3:13 How could you expect? - Open carry is in DC just illegal. In the other states people may prefer concealed carry. In a 2019 poll 6 million Americans have answered to carry a handgun daily, one in 50. As this number doubled since 2015, one may expect it has doubled again until today. In Alabama 1/3rd of the population do carry. It is not liberal Chicago.
Ha, no bridges. BTW, I have gone over the great belt about 10 times this year and I am getting a lot better at it. Drove over it just a few days ago on Saturday.
It really had me thinking what you said about sensationalism about American news in EU. After that stuff with Kyle Rittenhouse i really lost interest in the US as a holiday destination. Also all I hear is about a new race/gender war and guns, and it freaks me out. But also what i learned is that states are so different. I still kinda wanna see New Orleans and Texas.
You said, you haven't seen any holsters in the USA. Ok. But why is it such a problem to ban guns or even regulate them? For protecting your home against other people with an (unregistred) gun? What's the deal for not registering guns? I know, not every US-state allows unregistered guns, but most do.
Joshua, you should end each video with kissing your wife. That would be sweet and teach a lot of people a lesson in what a good marriage is. I'm a bit of a USA nerd (politics). Besides that, watching Trevor Noah (who is soon leaving his show), Steven Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Oliver has taught me a bit about the mundane side of the US. E. g. the names of some of the supermarket chains and (especially) that a lot of food and dishes have (what do I call it?) Mexican names, which I'll never learn. And the names of many fast-food restaurants etc. I still have to figure out though why Spirit Airlines is being ridiculed as much as it is. Edit: Knowing what I do now I would never dare going to the US because of the price of healthcare. Maybe an insurance would cover it, I don't know. It scares me. Lastly, here's a riddle: Why did the man fall into the well?.... Because he couldn't see that well! From the TH-cam channel "Sheena Melwani". It's a channel of shorts with a beautiful wife and a genius husband. It's hilarious. Just like this channel.
sounds like you skipped the whole chapter called sarcasm in the handbook of danish culture. when danes makes fun of swedes we exaggerate for example. do you guys really think educated danes think of americans 🤠 like cowboys with guns on each side 🤭 im getting concerned 🤪 because if you dont get the sarcasm in danish culture, then denmark is not like you think. and other countrys is probetly closer to the world you think you live in 🤯 i wonder what you guys think of us if you heard cv jørgensens costa del sol for example 🤐
Small cities in nordjylland have still kept their "northern charm" One of the things that made me depressed when I lived i Aalborg was people not nodding back or saying hi. No casual talk, just wierd stares 😔
@@kevinstfort So people can defend themselves and not go to jail or get fined for fighting off a rapist with a Pepperspray. Women would be safer if they had a handgun and training to protect them. Store owners could defend their stores. Mass shooters/stabbers would be stopped dead in their tracks instantly. You can defend yourself from crooks and gangs in the larger cities. The police is not going to show up in time when someone enters your house, but my gun is right there in my holster. All around, it would be safer - as I see it, but this is not a common opinion in Denmark. Denmark is already armen, and none of them to the actual shootings. Gangs and bikers do the shooting and usually with firearms and rocket systems stolen from the army or brought in from our open borders. You can not stop evil people with weapons, so why not arm the good ones?
@@KaptajnKaffe 🤔then you need more then a holster, the only effect that will give is a laugh.. just like they give when people use them for mobile phones 🤭

Hokkaido pumpkin soup is great, i had two plants once. Got about 12 football (soccer) sized pumpkins.
