Years ago when my late husband and I were staying in Skagenlit for a week, they had the worst snow storm of the century. It was our first tie in Denmark to research my ancestry. We took a train through the beautiful snowy countryside to Aarhus and back. Amazing trip for the day instead of stayig inside snowed in. Thanks for the great memories! Love your videos! God bless you guys!
Fun fact: in Moesgaard Museum they have the best preserved roman sword in the world found in Jutland. And a replica was used by Russel Crowe in the movie "Gladiator". I think that's cool...
Im really happy that you guys enjoyed Moesgaard! I co-curated some of the exhibitions there (Viking and Medieval), but worked on the other permanent exhibits as well. An incredible amount of work goes into those, and even though they offer English versions, they are definitely very focused on Denmark. So I am really happy that you guys had a good time! Next time, you should try and go and see the sunset/rise from the roof, the view in clear weather is absolutely amazing. Love your videos, and I think you guys are doing really well at becoming Danish people (especially with the pickled herring, that is definitely an acquired taste)!
Hold the phone! That is sooo cool that you worked on some of the exhibits! We used to love going to the Member Nights at the Field Museum in Chicago where we got to go behind the scenes of their collections and also see how they put the exhibits together. Indeed there is so much work that is done between the cataloging, creating the displays and descriptions, etc. all while making it exciting and entertaining. Endless work! I can thankfully read a lot of Danish so I was able to read most of the placards. We always appreciated the work that went into making some exhibits available in English. So thanks to you and your colleagues on a job well done! - Miranda
Again a great episode of the young- denmark saga.. I love your aftermath analysis. PS both of you nailed the danish in this one, your training is paying off😁
Thanks! We really love it in Aarhus. I've been a number of times now for work and fun and it is one of my favorite places in DK. You do have a beautiful city for sure!
For next Christmas season: Pickled herring goes down really well, if you sip your snaps just after taking a bite. The snaps called Harald Jensen is especially good paired with the curry herring. Also, thank you for making your videos. As an english teacher, I plan to show my studentes your videoes comparing Danish and American workplaces as well as your explaination of tax-systems.
I am so impressed about how you make an effort to pronunciate correctly. Living in Aarhus myself, I was blown away about how well your pronunciation of the name of the city was. Usually native english speaking people, struggle with the Aa-combination being pronounced as an Å, followed by the r. So used to it sounding like AAAAhUUUs. 👍🏻
We have spent some spring and summer months in Aarhus for husband’s work. Just love that city! We also thoroughly enjoy Danish food. Husband discovered he does like herring, just not some of the jarred brands we get in the states. My only dislike is that at times they are a bit heavy handed with the mayo. If you like the Viking era don’t miss Jelling, Riba and Fyrkat to name just a few places in Jutland.
I went to Moesgaard with my 3 nieces (who lives in Greece and are danish/greek) and we actually had to hurry them cause we got closer and closer to closing time. That is rather rare for adults to hurry kids at a museum. Cudos to Moesgaard. Love the video, was born in Aarhus and have lived there on/off for 15 years.
I'm from Aarhus. The world's best city i think. We got it all. Forest, beaches, small river straight thru the city. And all the fun stuff you can think of. hope you enjoyed the visit. and please come again.🤘😍🤘
Fun fact. In the museum you show the remainders of Grauballemanden, found well conserved in 1952 when I was 7. I was living in a neighbouring village where the first rumours pointed at a local who had disappeared in the nearby moors. who when disappeared was abt 70 years of age. - Since dated years later many times and latest it has been dated to 290 a.D. :-) (Finn/Denmark)
I think the Never Ending Bridge will be back up again when its summer. Aarhus also have a very good museum called Aros worth going to. And if you looking for a good danish meal you should try Raadhuus Kaféen and go for Stegt Flæsk or the Wienersnitchel, trust me its very good.
Aros is wonderful, I agree! We visited on another trip and video so we didn’t go this time around. Thanks for the tip on food, we will try it out when we go back during the summer to see the bridge!
Love your videos from Denmark. As a Dane i am learning allot about my culture as it unfolds through your stories and exparience. You both have the capacity for having a good time. Next time in Aarhus, go visit cafe Drudenfuss for lunch ir a drink. It is in the old town part.
Thanks...we decided for the sake of TH-cam we'd eat up! I have more video from the dinner that we will add to the Danish Christmas video we are working on. It was actually a fun night and a cool way to experience the meal.
danish julefrokost is one of the things i would miss so very much if i had to be outside denmark for xmas. i was so happy when my host family made one when i was in california.
You should try Djurs Sommerland, about an hour from Århus (on the "nose" of Jutland). It's not quite as old but it's the biggest fun park in all of Scandinavia. 😉👍
Y’all are great presenters of your experiences. (Moesgaards “Grauballe mand” has always been my favourite museum “item”)Please link to the hotel you stayed at and thanks for sharing your life here. It’s most interesting. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄
Thanks and you are welcome! I was amazed by the museum and it is now one of my favorites. Someone on another video comment suggested we go, so we decided to this trip and I am glad we did! The hotel we stayed it is: www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/hotels/radisson-blu-aarhus-scandinavia Merry Christmas to you also!
Also meant to mention the Aarhus Viking Museum near the cathedral in the basement of Nordea bank. It is not large so you can see it quickly, but it is well done.
you forgot a very speciel christmas thing in aarhus. the artisans christmas market in the riding house. just next to city hall. and it should be back in 2021. the one selling has to be the one who made it, so you can meet artisans from all over Denmark. we are about 80 stalls and yes I finally got in a few years ago, but it has been a tradition for me to visit for years. please feel welcome to visit, I have travelled a lot and never found something like it.
You guys should go watch the "iron city" (Jernalderslandsbyen) in Odense, a old city that is preserved from the iron age. (pretty much the viking era of Denmark)
Love Gløgg.. if you have the opportunity you should try the German version Gluhwein aswell :D as far as i've heard there supposed to be a good christmass market/fair thing in Berlin in Germany. it's quick to get back and forth there via train :)
Yes!! Gluhwein is great and pretty available in the US in bottles. I do prefer Danish gløgg better though. Also, the market in Berlin is fantastic. We were there a few years ago over new years and it stayed open through then. We hope to go again this year or next as we love markets :).
Aww... You went to my old home town! And the beaches south of Aarhus is where I spent a lot of my youth, so that was particularly nice to see. (All the bathing bridges along the beach tend to be taken in for winter and then set up again for summer - including the Infinity Bridge. It prevents them getting ruined in the winter storms.) As for the food, both pickled herring and warm liver paté can be... Challenging? for foreigners. Well done for eating both - but I won't shame anybody who gives up after their first bite of either. (Even some Danes dislike either or both.) And honestly, if Maya wants to go to university in Aarhus? Not a bad choice! I was young there; it has everything Copenhagen has to offer, but just a bit smaller... It's a great little city, and I think it's actually something like 20% students, so once covid is over that city should be heaven for a young student! (And a nice place for parents to visit, too... Very important, of course!)
Haha, glad we got to your old stomping grounds as we would say in the US. It is very quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Denmark. I look forward to getting back in the summer assuming things are relatively normal again. Plus we can see the infinity bridge and revisit the deer park (which didn't make the video but something we did do). :)
@@TravelinYoung I grew up in a suburb a mile or two south of Aarhus, so the beaches and the forest there were within walking distance - though of course we always rode our bikes, because Denmark, right? And I was quite a keen kayaker back in the days (national championships, 120km races and stuff like that) so I was on the beach 3 times per week in winter and more or less every day in summer. Some nights we'd just sleep on the beach, because why bother going home if you're going down there again the next morning, right? Dyrehaven / the deer park is good - but if you go down to Moesgaard again that has some even better forest landscapes, and I've always loved the way the forest stretches all the way down to the beach. That's very "Aarhus" to me. Or should I say "Århus"? I lived there before they changed the Å to an Aa... (Because they wanted to make it more international? Still an impossible city name to pronounce for foreigners...)
A little late with this comment but in DK, there is a general law (some places may have other rules - especially private beaches), BUT from the 1st of September until the 1st of March, dogs are allowed to walk freely without a leash on the beaches, due to less people occupying the beaches in winter. If you didn't know, now you do. :-)
My history teacher always said the weather is against Denmark at all times, like for example if someone was trying to attack Denmark and they started in Jylland the water between Jylland and Fyn, and between Fyn and Sjælland would almost always freeze in the winter so they could easily walk over.
I almost daily congratulate myself for living on DK for various obvious reasons. On the other hand I'm fascinated/intrigued by the US. The directness, the lack of filters, the bluntness, the brazenness, the vileness, even the violence, but also the warmth, the vibrance, the vitality. So, the current political spectacle and unrest unmentioned, the US has a lot to give "the old world" and vice versa, but the stubbornness to learn and evolve "over there" is quite a hurdle. Greetings from Odense.
been watching your videos these days and seems like you guys like to eat at fun places. next time you're on Strøget you should try Sporvejen Burger Bar at Grøbrødretorv. the inside is an old train trolley where you can sit and eat. they have some weird but good burger combinations on their menu :D
@@TravelinYoung awesome! I really like your videos. it's fun to see Denmark from a foreigner's perspective and it makes me want to travel around the country as well :D
If you guys are interested in it I could guide you through Aarhus I'm such a big history nerd and culture nerd plus I'm a amateur linguist Ps. Sorry if this is a really weird question to ask
@@runethedane8895 Thanks for the offer, we will keep it in mind when are next in Aarhus. It likely won't be until the summer, but I do want to learn more about the area. It is one of my favorite cities.
@@TravelinYoung but of course I do understand summer is also way better time to visit and walk around hmm maybe visit Møllestien (Mill path) which the most picture perfect place in Aarhus
When you go to Tivoli Gardens, you have to try "Den Flyvende Kuffert" translated as the "The Flying Suitcase". You sit in a giant treasure chest looking suitcase, and go around getting a small story of basically all of H. C. Andersen's stories. Of course, all with the "Terrifying" animatronics :)
Those are different. They're more like the animatronics on the Peter Pan ride at Disney which is my favorite Dinsey ride. They dont blink or move their mouths so they're acceptable. 😂
The best thing about living in Denmark in December We get to celebrate Christmas a day earlier than the people in America Ps. I've always lived in Denmark so kinda biased 😄
Man, eating every item from a Julefrokost. That is pretty Hardcore. Bet you, dollars to doughnuts, that it was the Ris a la mande that hit the hardest. I mean, I absolutely love it, but it'll send you into a sugar-coma if you aren't used to it. On a side note, seeing as you did a Halloween candy video, maybe you could do a Christmas treats one?
Ha, we had to try it all! And we plan to do it again so when we put together our Christmas video we have some good variety (and me wearing a different shirt). We do love Ris a la mande in the Young house, but it takes a bit to adjust when the season arrives. I had more that weekend in Aarhus than I have in a year. That did set me straight when the coma set in. Christmas treats is a great idea! We are actually planning a Christmas beer tasting video in a couple of weeks. One of my good friends from DK is going to join and try out some Julebryg. But Christmas candy and desserts could also be very interesting. Thanks!
I hope you are sponsored by "Visit Denmark" :-) Otherwise, it's time for them to pay all your expenses - it's super exciting / fun to watch your videos!
I have eaten leverpostej my entire life, and its only now watching this, that i realize its actually quite bizarre for people outside of Denmark (who haven’t been shoveling it down without anything other than rye bread since kindergarten) to eat it without the bacon and cabbage.
I believe the pretty white building that you identified as Hotel Marselis is actually Varna Palæet. Hotel Marselis has awesome views of the sea, but the building itself is rather ugly.
If Brisket can stay in the car alone for half an hour, I highly suggest you grab 2-4 kg of carrots and go the extra 100 metres from the infinite bridge and have fun feeding the deer :)
Yes! We planned to do that and then realized when we got there that Brisket wasn't allowed. We will plan ahead better next time and bring some food as well. I did go in by myself for a few minutes and it was super cool!
@@TravelinYoung Just beware that during summer these deer can become extreme snubs and if they see you with a bag of potatoes, they can go up, nudge you in the side (with their wet noses) to demand carrots. If you happen to drop a carrot to the ground they just look at you like "wth? I want another one, a clean one! From you hand!" I have had many deer poking their noses into my bag to search for more carrots, so beware when you go there:)
@@bofoenss8393 hilarious! Sounds a bit like the deer park I’ve been to in Nara, Japan. They are very aggressive there and look for food in herds. Crazy cool experience though as long as you are being mindful.
@@TravelinYoung Here they are more posh, I think -they look for carrots and when they find none, they can get kind of offended and just walk away to the next innocent group of visitors... But yes, being mindful is the key.
Next time you go on a trip to Jylland, go and visit the rediscovered bridge, here is the adres Vestbirkvej 2, 8740 Brædstrup, and here are some fact 13,4 meter høj 50 meter lang Bygget i 1899 Tildækket i 1929 Genfundet i 2014 not a big bridge but the history is funny.
NOT AS A PARTY SPOILER - but...personally if I'd travelled in car with only one little dog, I would never put him in a cage. What harm could Brisket do? Maybe if I had a Great Dane or Sct.Berhard but your tiny dog can't really do any damage or such. BTW love your videos.
It's okay to not like julefrokost. Honestly, the only thing I like is the brown sauce (if made correctly!), the caramelised potatoes and the crackoing "svær" of the roast. Everything else gives me.... well, I'd rather not. Ris a la mande is also horrible. Rice porrage with hot cranberrie sauce??? Nooo! (I know I'm a traitor now). Did you know that Aarhus University has it's archeological and anthropology department by Moesgård? Or at least it used to; I had my anthropology lectures at Moesgård, in the old buildings across from the entryway. Such a beautiful place and amaxing with the fjord right off the grounds. Their used to be sheeps grasing outsite our lunch-hall. I dont know if they moved the department, it's been 10 years, but it was amazing!!!
Nice to see you braving the weather. Oh and stop butchering my our language... Just kidding :D Always appreciate people trying to learn the language of the potato in mouth. Speaking of amusement parks, hope you will visit Dyrehavsbakken, sure you've heard of it by now, it's free to enter.
And speaking of old amusement parks like you did in the video; Dyrehavsbakken is the world's oldest one, it opened in 1583. That is 537 years. Think about that, it has been there for over half a millennia.
Denmark never ceases to amaze me. It is incredible all the unexpected things you learn after you arrive and Bakken is one of those treasures that we didn't know about until coming here for the first time. We didn't go at all this summer, but we did a lot the first year here in 2018. It was great weather, we had no vacation time really so had to stay close, and we had our 2 big dogs still. It was so much fun to walk with them around both the amusement park and the deer park. And it is insane how old it is. Hard for me to comprehend really.
@@TravelinYoung In my hometown, not to far from me, well everywhere really there's loads of old buildings. One of my favourites is here www.google.com/maps/@57.0484724,9.9185539,3a,75y,21.71h,100.04t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sYbPMuQ7dbjEe1oGJdedhog!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DYbPMuQ7dbjEe1oGJdedhog%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D108.897026%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656 Look North and you can see how old it is (1506) , and then head west untill you see a white and red building, a restaurant from 1585. If you go in and have to use the toilets, get ready for a climb, and not being able to stand upright in there :D

Great video from your visit to my hometown Aarhus. Respect that you dare to taste the Danish Christmas food 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks...we decided for the sake of TH-cam we'd eat up! I have more video from the dinner that we will add to the Danish Christmas video we are working on. It was actually a fun night and a cool way to experience the meal.
I was recently at the Bådcafé for the first time, but it's only when rewatching this video that I realized you guys also went!
Haha, it is a nice place! We were recently in Aarhus and almost went again, perhaps our next trip :).
Legoland is worth a visit! It is expensive as F*** but it will bring out your inner child! Plus some really good rollercosters!
danish julefrokost is one of the things i would miss so very much if i had to be outside denmark for xmas. i was so happy when my host family made one when i was in california.
I can understand that, I definitely feel the same about some traditions in the US. We may start making it a new tradition for us now here.
Looks great, must have the herring first with snaps and a sip of beer, the best way 😊

I really want to go to a concert there. Looks like a super cool spot to see a show.
Try to drive to Viborg City you can see the churth domkirken , see the lake on Viborg is so Beautiful.
I almost daily congratulate myself for living on DK for various obvious reasons. On the other hand I'm fascinated/intrigued by the US. The directness, the lack of filters, the bluntness, the brazenness, the vileness, even the violence, but also the warmth, the vibrance, the vitality. So, the current political spectacle and unrest unmentioned, the US has a lot to give "the old world" and vice versa, but the stubbornness to learn and evolve "over there" is quite a hurdle. Greetings from Odense.
been watching your videos these days and seems like you guys like to eat at fun places.
next time you're on Strøget you should try Sporvejen Burger Bar at Grøbrødretorv. the inside is an old train trolley where you can sit and eat. they have some weird but good burger combinations on their menu :D
Oh yes! We’ve been there once...but I’m happy to go back again :).
@@TravelinYoung awesome! I really like your videos. it's fun to see Denmark from a foreigner's perspective and it makes me want to travel around the country as well :D
Ladies and gentlemen we have another convert to the pickled herrings..
Ebelskebers are the best! Mom made them every Christmas.
Æbleskiver is amazing, I love that you can get them all over here at Christmas.
Try leverpostej warm on white bread. It's an entirely different and very delicious taste. Add bacon according to personal taste.
you guys are awesome to watch :-) Thanks very much :-) Ps. Who the F.... uses the "Don´t Like" on your videos ??? Whats not to like ??
Thanks, that is super nice of you to say! I agree :).
Man you guys been so close to where I live when you where at the infinite Bridge
That whole area with the deer park is super cool. We will be back in nicer weather to really enjoy.
@@TravelinYoung man it's been such a long time since I last visited it
If you guys are interested in it I could guide you through Aarhus I'm such a big history nerd and culture nerd plus I'm a amateur linguist
Ps. Sorry if this is a really weird question to ask
@@runethedane8895 Thanks for the offer, we will keep it in mind when are next in Aarhus. It likely won't be until the summer, but I do want to learn more about the area. It is one of my favorite cities.
@@TravelinYoung but of course I do understand summer is also way better time to visit and walk around hmm maybe visit Møllestien (Mill path) which the most picture perfect place in Aarhus
When you go to Tivoli Gardens, you have to try "Den Flyvende Kuffert" translated as the "The Flying Suitcase". You sit in a giant treasure chest looking suitcase, and go around getting a small story of basically all of H. C. Andersen's stories. Of course, all with the "Terrifying" animatronics :)
Miranda here - this is actually my favorite ride at Tivoli! I ride it every time we go 😍
@@TravelinYoung Not afraid of all the old animatronics? ;)
Those are different. They're more like the animatronics on the Peter Pan ride at Disney which is my favorite Dinsey ride. They dont blink or move their mouths so they're acceptable. 😂
You should really have arrived later at Tivoli Friheden, it's so much prettier with all the lights and all there after dark 😊
We did stick around a bit until the lights came on, but we were getting tired after a long day. We'll just have to go back again this Christmas :).
The best thing about living in Denmark in December
We get to celebrate Christmas a day earlier than the people in America
Ps. I've always lived in Denmark so kinda biased 😄
Man, eating every item from a Julefrokost.
That is pretty Hardcore.
Bet you, dollars to doughnuts, that it was the Ris a la mande that hit the hardest. I mean, I absolutely love it, but it'll send you into a sugar-coma if you aren't used to it.
On a side note, seeing as you did a Halloween candy video, maybe you could do a Christmas treats one?
I need a support group to help me with my risalamande addiction. 😂 It's definitely one of my new favorite things since moving here!
Ha, we had to try it all! And we plan to do it again so when we put together our Christmas video we have some good variety (and me wearing a different shirt).
We do love Ris a la mande in the Young house, but it takes a bit to adjust when the season arrives. I had more that weekend in Aarhus than I have in a year. That did set me straight when the coma set in.
Christmas treats is a great idea! We are actually planning a Christmas beer tasting video in a couple of weeks. One of my good friends from DK is going to join and try out some Julebryg. But Christmas candy and desserts could also be very interesting. Thanks!
You need to go too Djurs sommerland
I hope you are sponsored by "Visit Denmark" :-) Otherwise, it's time for them to pay all your expenses - it's super exciting / fun to watch your videos!
Thanks, I would love that, but no word from them yet.
Jeg vil foreslå jer at tage hen på Teaterbodegaen i Aarhus Mortens aften og få deres menu. Bestil eventuelt bord i forvejen nogle uger før. :)
Tak for din henstilling! Vi skal ses hvis vi kan bestil et bord hvornår vi gå naeste gange. :)
I have eaten leverpostej my entire life, and its only now watching this, that i realize its actually quite bizarre for people outside of Denmark (who haven’t been shoveling it down without anything other than rye bread since kindergarten) to eat it without the bacon and cabbage.
I believe the pretty white building that you identified as Hotel Marselis is actually Varna Palæet. Hotel Marselis has awesome views of the sea, but the building itself is rather ugly.
Besides seeing Joshua in another shirt it would also be nice to see Joshua without his cap, if that would be possible. :-)
Haha! Need a post covid haircut :)
Love an egg with my herring and currysalad ;)
you are brilliant
Miranda was brave!
Jeg lærer faktisk noget også. Jeg er 59 år og har aldrig været på Moesgaard, det så meget interresant ud. (Writing in Danish on purpose).
You should go, it is really nice!
i belive turkish peber make their own official vodka thing, but i dont know where to buy it
Nice!! I would try it for sure!
Haring and carry taste so good together :)
If Brisket can stay in the car alone for half an hour, I highly suggest you grab 2-4 kg of carrots and go the extra 100 metres from the infinite bridge and have fun feeding the deer :)
Yes! We planned to do that and then realized when we got there that Brisket wasn't allowed. We will plan ahead better next time and bring some food as well. I did go in by myself for a few minutes and it was super cool!
@@TravelinYoung Just beware that during summer these deer can become extreme snubs and if they see you with a bag of potatoes, they can go up, nudge you in the side (with their wet noses) to demand carrots. If you happen to drop a carrot to the ground they just look at you like "wth? I want another one, a clean one! From you hand!" I have had many deer poking their noses into my bag to search for more carrots, so beware when you go there:)
@@bofoenss8393 hilarious! Sounds a bit like the deer park I’ve been to in Nara, Japan. They are very aggressive there and look for food in herds. Crazy cool experience though as long as you are being mindful.
@@TravelinYoung Here they are more posh, I think -they look for carrots and when they find none, they can get kind of offended and just walk away to the next innocent group of visitors... But yes, being mindful is the key.
I love your dog ;)
Thanks, he is super cool :).
Next time you go on a trip to Jylland, go and visit the rediscovered bridge, here is the adres Vestbirkvej 2, 8740 Brædstrup, and here are some fact
13,4 meter høj
50 meter lang
Bygget i 1899
Tildækket i 1929
Genfundet i 2014
not a big bridge but the history is funny.
Thats funny. Kick ass. ;-)
Know that we may look askance at your pronounciation, but we still appreciate your efforts to pronounce danish words and placenames.
Thanks, we are trying and slowly getting better!
Go to fårup sommerland in the north denmark 🇩🇰🙏
NOT AS A PARTY SPOILER - but...personally if I'd travelled in car with only one little dog, I would never put him in a cage. What harm could Brisket do? Maybe if I had a Great Dane or Sct.Berhard but your tiny dog can't really do any damage or such. BTW love your videos.
Less about damage he could do and more about damage that could be done to him if we are in an accident. He’s a little safer in a cage.
It's okay to not like julefrokost.
Honestly, the only thing I like is the brown sauce (if made correctly!), the caramelised potatoes and the crackoing "svær" of the roast. Everything else gives me.... well, I'd rather not.
Ris a la mande is also horrible. Rice porrage with hot cranberrie sauce??? Nooo! (I know I'm a traitor now).
Did you know that Aarhus University has it's archeological and anthropology department by Moesgård?
Or at least it used to; I had my anthropology lectures at Moesgård, in the old buildings across from the entryway.
Such a beautiful place and amaxing with the fjord right off the grounds. Their used to be sheeps grasing outsite our lunch-hall.
I dont know if they moved the department, it's been 10 years, but it was amazing!!!

Haha!!!! Quality reference there 😂
just realised that im going around drunk in front of the camera ad 30;16 lol
Haha!
I walk around semi-drunk most of December. I think most danes do
I didnt know Josh were so old 1924 world series win by Washington Nationals/Senators XD
Yummy
Nice to see you braving the weather. Oh and stop butchering my our language... Just kidding :D Always appreciate people trying to learn the language of the potato in mouth. Speaking of amusement parks, hope you will visit Dyrehavsbakken, sure you've heard of it by now, it's free to enter.
Haha! Yes for sure, we love Bakken and actually plan to go in a couple weeks to see the Christmas decorations. Such a cool place!
And speaking of old amusement parks like you did in the video;
Dyrehavsbakken is the world's oldest one, it opened in 1583. That is 537 years. Think about that, it has been there for over half a millennia.
Denmark never ceases to amaze me. It is incredible all the unexpected things you learn after you arrive and Bakken is one of those treasures that we didn't know about until coming here for the first time. We didn't go at all this summer, but we did a lot the first year here in 2018. It was great weather, we had no vacation time really so had to stay close, and we had our 2 big dogs still. It was so much fun to walk with them around both the amusement park and the deer park.
And it is insane how old it is. Hard for me to comprehend really.
@@TravelinYoung In my hometown, not to far from me, well everywhere really there's loads of old buildings. One of my favourites is here

Look North and you can see how old it is (1506) , and then head west untill you see a white and red building, a restaurant from 1585. If you go in and have to use the toilets, get ready for a climb, and not being able to stand upright in there :D

It is OK that you don't like pickled heering, I'm Danish and I don't like pickled heering.
