I was born and raised in L.A. now much older I am living in Denmark and at first I was culture shocked because I was use to keeping to yourself and belongings closer, Been here two years now and learning Danish and the people are wonderful, I love their culture and hope it never changes... I had many headaches and depression from the US and on a lot of medications, here I am no longer rely on medication because Denmark is peaceful and stress free.

“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.” - Gustavo Petro

you get deductibles when married, so not true about the taxes. The reason why danes dont marry so much, is because it does not mean that much to us anymore, many who marry does it solely for the ritual and the feast... it is more a family and community thing than a religious one... Just like the confirmation is all about the gifts and the party. In reality Christian rituals has been securalised in Denmark

She says "you get on the bus at church", like a lot of people go to church in Denmark. Those 5-6 people were (depending on if it was in the city) the only people in the church. Like, almost nobody goes to church here.

People actually CHOOSE to bike, even if they have / can afford to buy a car!

We don't bicycle because we can't afford cars, we just don't have your american obsession with driving the biggest most polluting vehicle to go to the corner store, we are much more health obsessed.

Am I really the only one thinking that "hygge" is most correctly described as chilling? hanging out with your friends, talking and stuff... That's chilling!

Daycare, College, Health Care...covered (any idea how much of a difference this would make in the USA?). Reeal vacations-28-32 Holiday plus the other various days off. Flex time. Off work at a civilized hour so you can be with family. World Class Bicycle facilities. Excellent transit. Safety nets. Strong employment #'s.. Under 3% unemployed. A concern for the health or the community and how that relates to the environment. History. Less concern about how much $ you have, and how much "stufff" you have.. SIGN. ME. UP.

Denmark is awesome, great country! I wouldn't mind moving there from USA.

The shops do not close at five... the earliest I have seen that wasn't on a holiday was six and that was one place. most supermarkets are open generally from 8am to 8pm, that span you can be 99% sure to always have an open store available.

The best explaination of "hygge" from a foreigner I ever heard!!!

Also, we don't have a McD around every corner, we might have fruit shops there instead :)

finally someone who actually knows something about denmark - instead someone who think we go role playing every weekend =)

Why would you send missionaries to a country that has been effectively christian for 3 times the age of your own country. I imagine it's difficult, with the ones that would even consider just randomly talking about christianity in detail would be people who already believe in christianity, so what's the point?

I'm from Denmark, andI wouldn't say it's super safe, but I guess it is pretty safe compared to America.

Living in society that's people care for each other, what else you wants?

It sounds like a great country.

lol at danes going to church.

You are not taxed by getting married, but you loose benefit (rent subsidies) and you also gain the responsibility of mutely supporting one another rather than letting the state support you if you lose your job. When married and the spouse is unemployed you actually gain the benefit of getting the spouses tax deductions.

Daycare in Denmark is not from 18 months but more like 6-12 months of age.

Many couples in Scandinavia live together without getting married. It's called "sambo".

My experience in Denmark was fun. It isn't cheap, but there is a feeling of commonality I don't find in the U.S. , which is why I understand Bernie Sanders. Forest kindergartens . I'm 63 and love to run my dogs in the forest. Life is real. Experience!

I really like how you made the video. It was relaxing to watch. thankyou

Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights.

our culture is not realy changing the refugees are happy to celebrate Christmas and eat and drink our food they are adapting. and in some places i agree that some bits of danish culture get for gotten but that is at the German border where the German culture is more dominate than the danish. And if our culture where to change it would not be Syrian but rather German, polish or Turkish

I used to see the leader of one of the major parties in the parliament on the bus. That was more than 20 years ago though. Doubt that happens anymore, sadly.

Hi . thanks for your video . I'm 31 years old man . I'm single man . I'm a truck and bus and forklift driver . I live in Iran. My university degree is bachelor . I don't have English language certificate but I can speak and write and read english well. I also can speak Persian and Turkish. It's my dream to live and marry and work in Denmark. How can I emigrate to Denmark ? Please help me . Thanks a lot

"Hygge" basicly means cozyness.

There is one fault. People get deductibles when they get married. When young people choose not to get married it is because they are afraid to get divorced. Divorce rate is fairly high. Another thing is that the marriage they want can be very expensive because they want that party to be an experience for life. 85% of the population are members of the Evangelical Lutheran church, so missionary ar not needed very much.

What a sweetheart! And i love your term "Hygge'ing" lol :-D So great to hear good things from "in-movers"! Take care!

so if Trump becomes president had planned to move 2 Denmark. What do you think of that? I am an African-American woman middle age and I have good work experience and 2 degrees in psychology. What are my chances of finding a job. what about an apartment or at least sharing one ? HELP!

Living your life to the fullest Danish

We go to daycare when we are 6 month old to 3 year's old

What do they think about missionaries from Jedi temple?

Almost everything is about twice as expensive in Denmark than in the US.

children start in daycare at 1 year normaly

Whooo denmark

I lived in Denmark from 1966 to 1975 in an apartment. Same one. Many of our neighbors had no phone, because you have to pay a very large deposit to get a phone. There was only 1 t.v. station which is controlled by the socialists. Starting a business is difficult, because you'll be accused of "profiteering" and making a "fat profit". Denmark: here is your bicycle and your ryebread open face sandwich.

In socialist Denmark, the government pays you to go to school.

Sorry to say it. But religion is a dying tradition here in Denmark.

You all love Denmark, I can see why! It's a beautiful country. So many Americans want the US to be more like Denmark, less cars, smaller homes, free education, free healthcare....okay I'm rambling... me too! But that's a deep as American's like to look. Denmark lacks very much diversity and they are mostly Christian (of all religions). Both of which young Americans who want to move to Denmark hate about the US. Oh and their whole new immigration law they passed in 2016 making it "the least attractive country for refugees".

The US has some wonderful traits but we don't trust our government to let them have any more taxes than we do. Some states actually tax food! And of all entities, if it's the government that rules that people can't have guns, then we would be suspicious of our own government and military. There was a time when some things were free, but no longer. I good education at the University of California when I lived there, for free! An excellent Liberal Arts degree taking Russian, Greek Mythology, Logic, History of Philosophy, Shakespeare, Drama, Violin, Speech, Anthropology, Geography, Meteorology, Climatology, Paleontology, Psychology, Oceanography, Poetry Real Estate, and so very much more. I had a university career as well. But that's not the case at all now. But where I live now, the health care is incredible! If you are very poor, there are many, many free treatments from any number of specialists. Free medicines, fee dentists, free general practitioners, free home care, free phone, energy assistance, m people to come into your home and clean it, cook your food, go with you to concerts, museums, zoos, bookstores, yoga. A dozen or more forms of therapy. Including weight loss. Yes, fee weight manages and physical fitness with a trainer! Free travel to clinics. I've just been in the right state at the right tie. California has no tax on food, but a state income tax. Where I am now, there is tax on food, 6.1% but no state income tax. Oregon has VERY high property taxes but no sales tax. Each state is left to decide from whence they get the funds to operate. Some states are very religious, some, such as Washington State (Seattle) are not. Texas. Now THAT is a religious state. And patriotic. And no one is going to be a president without being hyper-patriotic and a little religious. I'm not sharing what state I'm in right now. It's not a big enough state to take in the to elderly that would move here for free and terrific health care. I'll just say it is one of the Pacific Northwest states also known by some as UTOPIA

my family and my friends never use the word hygge, thats more like something that the girls would say if they where gonna get it on XD

"Hygge" means chill

Like, like, like

yes yes thats all very nice.. but what are some of the bad sides of living there? cmon give me some dirt here.. ive heard they have racism, gangs and "great politics" there aswell.
