I am from Denmark and I have been googling danish websites for helpful tips etc that I could post in the 'Simple ideas to make life easier' thread. Most sites are about food though.
One of the first tips on a website was: Avoid church piano food!
Huh? Wadafook is that!?
I then realised it had been directly translated from english and it meant organ food like liver and kidneys etc.
Oh well, at least it had me puzzled for a while and made me laugh.

Oh, I still have this image in my mind of a black piano full of cupcakes with whipped cream etc.
Maybe it's because I am on a diet, but the glorious food I imagined in the church would be a health risk to all people, not just the ones with arthritis!
Haha, yep it is indeed the land of the flat. I worry about the world climate. If the world seas rise more than a few inches, all danish people will be walking around in rubber boots!
But I am sure they would find a way to 'hygge' anyway
@ DD: I am sure you will like it there. I love Aarhus and used to live there. Right now I live in Sweden, but I will be selling my flat soon. I have someone coming on tuesday to estimate what the flat is worth etc.
Then I will be with my parents in Aalborg (1 1/2 hours from Aarhus) until I find a place to rent. Hopefully in Aalborg or Aarhus
My daughter is in Copenhagen this bank holiday weekend with her partner.
She has just sent us a photo of a bottle of tuborg and smorrebrod. Utter bliss! She will of course be going to Tivoli.

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
I loved the 'church piano food' and will think of that the next time I eat any liver or kidneys
I haven't been to Denmark, but my sister has. She said how much she liked the country, so I would love to visit there sometime.

I hope your daughter is having a good time in Copenhagen, Elna. I envy her going to Tivoli, I just love that place.
About 5 years ago I got to know a lot of people through a debate forum on a dating site. One of them told me I should join them on a friday night where many of them were meeting up in Tivoli.
I was looking forward to that like a child to christmas. I LOVE the rides.
I can't even begin to describe my dissappointment when I got there and realised we were only there to listen to a band - don't even remember which one. I asked some of them if we were not going to have any fun at all?
One of the women looked at me very puzzled and replied: " Erhmm...but we are adults!?"
Bummer! After that remark I spent some time blushing and looking at my shoes! :oops:
Luckily I have a wonderful 4 year old niece now and she is a great excuse to go and have fun again!
