TOP 7 Things I LOVED About Denmark – #5 Is the BEST!

Thanks, for a great video. As a Dane, things that are very important to me.
1. Fresh new potatoes and strawberries – Danish off course. Preferably bought a roadside farmer’s stall.
2. The color of spring in the forest – the new leaves of beech. It’s a green like nowhere else.
3. The looong sommer days. There’s magic in those days.
4. Danish Sommer vegetables also bought at a farmers market or roadside stalls.
Bonus. The seasons, spring and fall, are my favorites. Winter is not really the same anymore (to little frost and snow).

✨ Loved hearing about my experience in Denmark? ✨ What’s your favorite thing about Denmark? Let me know in the comments! 🇩🇰👇

If you're thinking of moving there or just want to survive the winter without losing your soul, check out my eBook: How to Survive the Danish Winter (And Keep Your Soul Intact) ❄️ Grab it here: https://houseofell.gumroad.com/l/how-to-survive-the-danish-winter

And as real Danes my wife and I (both 77) are Blessed with a small garden in front of our apartment, against the west, and I have our chairs ready for the first signs of Sun and a little warmer weather. I have made my numerous garden-tools ready to be used and our Special (Danish-made) Australian Grill is ready for use and tasty steaks!! Finn. Denmark

Things that made your time unforgetable in Denmark? That's excatly how I feel about London! I have already been there three times this year, and I live in Denmark.

The welsh comedian Rhod Gilbert once joked in QI that in Denmark it's cold and dark with only one hour of daylight. The only issue with that joke is that the danish mainland Jutland is located at the same range of lattitudes as from Newcasle Upon Tyne to Inverness. So Norhern England and Scotland are cold and dark with only one hour of daylight!!! You're living in London, which is same lattitude as Dortmund in Germany. That's quite far south from Denmark with a very different climate.

Thanks again for a fantastic video, El! Always interesting to hear what other people think of your own country ;-))) As always from me, a few little comments (as you expect by now!)
Ad 1: Njaaa.. Peder Krøyer… technically that is correct; or actually Peder Severin Krøyer is his full name. In Denmark, we ALWAYS (and also the cultural elite, art professors etc) refer to him as "PS Krøyer" , spelling out the P and S. If you ask someone about "Peder Krøyer" they would be at a loss… just is that way.
Ad 2: Yeah… well, sometimes things get pinched that is true. And we do have some problems with drugs, but that has a tendency to stay in those specific "circles". Quite an eye opener for me to spend ´two months in Johannesburg, as I did many years ago. Never go out after dark… PERIOD! Wear shoddy clothes going to the stores… only bring cash directly in your pocket, no wallet! Use the cheap bag from the supermarket, NEVER a backpack… ! In Denmark, you can leave your bag outside Netto until someone will pick it up and give to the people inside!
Ad 3: Well, we have dead zones on the phone signal… but not in Copenhagen! Test out some of the hilly areas on Fyn or in E. Jutland… trust me, there are blind/dark spots there… ! Getting fewer, but still there!
Ad 4: Also, cars are EXPENSIVE!!! So bikes are easy, healthy and quick!
Ad 5: Even if I hate making them, they are special! And they keep well! My parents' christmas tree has stars made by me and my sister when were were quite young!
Ad 7: Especially this last winter was HORRIBLY grey, even for Danish climate.. so you are absolutely right!!
Stay safe 🙂

The BONUS is so true 🙂
