- You’re still annoyed that your "Scandinavian Europe" guidebook includes Iceland, Finland and the Faroe Islands. (And that’s even when you pretend that Estonian chapter doesn’t exist.)
- Tall, blonde and blue-eyed starts to get boring .
- The sweet old ladies on the bus smell of beer.
- Birthday decorations include the national flag.
- The best indicator is not a ring on a finger, it’s a child-seat on a bike.
- During a walk down Strøget on a crowded lørdag, you wish they could bring in a law about smoking outside too.
- Due to overly-flattering Danish Design, the place you thought was a fancy homewares store turns out to be the Scando equivalent of a Two Dollar Shop.
- Every second person is named ‘Claus’, but Santa’s called ‘The Christmas Man’.
- The temperature isn’t that low, but the wind chill takes the experience from cool to deeply deeply unpleasant.
