Teena, can you tell us about your hometown, Copenhagen?

Pretty please? 🙂

LOL!! What do you wanna know exactly?? And it's not my only hometown btw.I can generalise Denmark for you.Because I don't know if you really wanna know about the culture or place. If it's culture, Copenhagen is not the right place to talk about. It's quite different from the rest of the Denmark. But I think larger cities anywhere are usually tad different. It's more international n may not give you the genuine danish feeling if that's what you're looking for. It's like it's own thing. I think the typical original culture is only preserved in museums here now 😛 Also ppl in Sjælland are said to be cold.I don't think so.They just dgaf tho!People in Jylland are kinda more friendly.

All you have to know is you'll love it here anyway 😛

We're known to be the happiest people ..but don't get fooled.. We're happy only coz we drink a lot(stereotype... I don't drink at all n I'm still a happy person anyway you see)All credit to Janteloven tho 😛

But alcohol really is an issue tbh. You can buy alcohol at 16 so yeah.

The best part about living here is almost everything is free and everything is on government. Fool! We pay huuuge skat! Talk about liberal socialism.

Lakrids(Black licorice at that)is the best tasting candy ever?(it will scare any foreigner tbh) Liquorice is just everywhere (not a fan personally)

If you like ☀️, don't come here!! But weather is kinda different each year. Most winters there's no snow. But if there is, there's lot of snow.

We make fun of everything.. even our royals lol..but we still love our queen(not many know we have a queen to start with). Spring only starts in late March or April. It's usually mostly dark from October till March! Days can be really short.

We all speak decent English..all the Scandinavians tbh..so you can survive just by knowing decent English not even kidding. Actually international schools here won't even bother if you can't speak ANY Danish.

Copenhagen is one of the safest places btw. Only thing is, it's a luxury place for criminals in general. I mean no death penalty whatsoever!

Lol I dunno if people everywhere do it(I think not coz didn't see it in India) but we use dannebrog(flag) for every event.. Like even birthdays 😛

*Psst psst* Sweeds n Danes hate eachother btw(not really... It's just like India and Pakistan at the most)

Bikes are super common here(I never learnt how to bike tho 😄)So are they in India. But more motorbikes are used there than cycles.People bike even in Winters! But Odense n Århus just have better biking infrastructure I guess. N the traffic rules man lol. People in India dgaf! They just skip signals like whenever..while Danes are totally opposite. They won't skip the traffic signals like ever..even if they don't see any human or vehicle miles away?

Racism here is low relatively.Religions live peacefully among eachother. But same goes for India again too.No one forces their silly personal beliefs on other people.But India is more multicultured and still maintains peace. Also I think culture has been more well preserved here... Though ofcourse it's a way tooooo driverse. @Notsoinstant .. Right?

But why the interest?You're planning to move or what? Are you doing that for me? 😛

Phew!! If it's politics... Don't even ask me please..not into it!! Google is your friend ? or maybe notsosure ?

I do not drink alcohol, only cocktails at parties or special occasions.

I hate beer and dislike wine.

@Teena i remember i thought the same about the driving in Norway. Unbelievably disciplined, but in Oslo there's snow almost all months of the year so i guess people had to be cautious about distances by nature.

Dane and Indian is a great mix. You get the best of very different worlds. Do you like herring? I loved pickled herring, and a hot chocolate by the fire.

But if there is, there's a lot of snow* correction in my post above lol!!

When you visit India n come back here, the discipline seems almost laughable tbh. But then.. Blame the population there. I sometimes feel there's not much they can do considering the population and the land ratio.

That's true..best of both ?

Hot chocolate by the fire is insane ❤️

I don't eat Herring Tiz.. I don't eat any kind of meat or non-veg. I did try eating for a while. Only to hate it more once I stopped ?

. How are you? This is Instant....I wanted to get rid of that account so

I deleted it, Teena.... I think my posts aren't showing or nobody wants to talk to me ?

And yeah, India is diverse.... Just different languages in different places, colorful, crowded, it's all same nowadays. Food is different though...Other than that not much difference.. or I got jaded and got used to this country. Although my city is cool AF, lots of foreigner, but nowadays way too crowded for my comfort... my personal fave is Goa! I'm a big fan of private full moon beach parties and can fake the hippy life style for a day or two(as long as I stay in a good villa) and must some love for the hilltop parties?

I think you're just not live yet instant. I didn't get notified for this quoting. Didn't know you deleted. Welcome back ?

I've been in India almost the whole of last year. I had to n been in 3 different cities. We may just move I dunno.Not much difference as a whole but yeah, very different culturally​. See the Extreme north n extreme South. The food, the festivals..everything.But yes,they are merging like crazy.I think the coolest are Mumbai n Bangalore ..both for different reasons. Hyderabad is nice too. Delhi is super chaotic (my sister says) Goa sounds cool. Is that the place which is called Indian Italy or Paris or something? 😛

Herring-less Scandinavia? This can't be life 😱

But no, I understand.

Actually, I do. It's an acquired taste, but still good once you know what you're up against.

That's right. But I know too many people who hate em. The thing is they're just too scared to try it the second time lol.

have u seen this movie?

No DJ, I didn't. I dunno why I always procrastinated watching this particular movie though I did want to watch it.I'm not a fan of movies to start with. So I wasn't curious. Is it worth all the praise?

I'm planning to go visit you sweetie. How's springtime? Is it lovely? How about autumn?

I'm surprised that there are winters without snow. How does that happen? I mean I'm sure you're already pretty close to the Arctic Circle.

Haha. If you want sun you should come in June/July/August. Early fall is definitely more lovely n lively(i mean you'll see more colors than just green)than spring. But it doesn't last long..only September maybe..it turns cold n wet almost by October​ n November.

There are winters without snow yes.Not saying there's no snow at all. But there are more days without.There's no guaranteed snowfall.There's more rain than snow.Also snow cover doesn't last.We have Atlantic gulf stream.Denmark is almost surrounded by water(north sea n baltic sea)..so maybe I dunno. Also UHI effect in Copenhagen.But as I said, it varies from year to year.
