AQUAVIT

by mtncorg

Aquavit = Water of life. Maybe not exactly true, it is a apertif of Danish extraction. The best versions are called 'linieaquavit' meaning that the aquavit has fermented in the hull of a ship long enough to get to the equator and back. Hell, if it was good enough for Madiera, it should sure as heck work for aquavit? Aquavit is distilled from caraway seed and has a definite rye taste - though in Norway, aquavit seems to be distilled from whatever is on hand, hell, as long as it kicks you on your ass!! Aquavit tastes best chilled=out of the freezer much like vodka. You can mix it if you are a wimp, but if you are of true Viking mold, you will down it straight. Just be carefull of getting 'Sweded'!!

Driving in Denmark: Fines and Tickets

by lbhspatriot

As I mentioned before fines and tickets are very high, not only in Denmark but in whole Scandinavia. These are the consequences of breaking traffic regulations in Denmark:Most of all who need to know that traffic fines are calculated according to the net income of the one who committed the offence. Speeding tickets depend on how much you exceeded the speed limit. These are the basic guidelines:when speed limit is:50km/h - from 500 to 3500 dkk (around 70 to 470 euro)80km/h - from 500 to 3500 dkk (around 70 to 470 euro)110km/h - from 500 to 12 000 dkk (around 70 to 1600 euro)130km/h - from 1000 to 8000 dkk (around 140 to 1060 euro)So, if you are driving 80km/h on a road that has a 50 speed limit you will end up with a 2000 dkk ticket (270 euro). As a foreigner you will have to pay on the spot. But if you drive to fast you can have your drivers licencse taken away!So remember, although...

Driving in Denmark

by lbhspatriot

If you decide to drive in Denmark have all the restrictions in mind - as fines and ticketts tend to be very high!The limits are:Motorway - 110 km/h (some signed stretches130 km/h)Open Road - 80 km/hTown - 50 km/hAlcohol mg/litre is 0.5 but just don't do it. It's not worth it and if you'd have over 0.05 per cent and you could face anything up to imprisonment! Headlights as in the rest of Scandinavia cars and motorcycles must be used use during the day.On the spot fines are issued for the infringement of all traffic regulations, so if you can't afford it better don't do it! There have been some fake traffic tickets, so make sure an official receipt is issued by the officer collecting the fine.

Dont count on your Credit Card

by Viperjazz

International credit cards without pins are not accepted in 99% of the places in Denmark so dont count on them, this is very problematic but there are no other options other than to use your electron cards to withdraw from ATMs. Period!Denmark uses Danish Kroners, not euros. The dollar is stronger than the Kroner rightnow, but it’s been falling so watch for the best exchange rate. Everything is expensive, soreserve yourself now to the fact that you are going to spend more than you planned. Going outto eat is what really killed me- the food is awesome but really expensive. If you get in the habitof cooking right from the start, you might be able to avoid my fate. Shopping is also a bigdownfall- take a calculator with you so that you can figure how much you’re actually paying forwhat you’re buying, rather than making a conservative (i.e. wrong) guess at the cost. I justifieda lot of...

Smoke allergics beware!

by Sjalen

Denmark is along with Greece, the "old EU 15" country where people smoke the most and you may find yourself annoyed when going to restaurants and cafés. Some people lit up just about anywhere with no consideration to children or others :-( In fact, don't be surprised if you see pregnant women smoking - lots of them do it. The Queen is a heavy smoker and even jokingly got told off by her cousin, the King of Sweden, in a public speech. Even old ladies sit in cafés with their cigars...In 2005, a new law was passed that says restaurants now have to display their smoking policy on the door. This helps a lot, as now you can actually find places with a no smoking policy, and in 2007, another law was passed stating that all places big enough and serving food should offer a smoke free zone but this can be dodged by restaurateurs if they keep their dining area small enough. Having said that, it...

Smoking

by Kittelite

From August 15.th, it was prohibited to smoke in most public places, including restaurants, bars, and koncerthalls. So if you are a smoker, be prepared to go outside. As for now, you can still freely smoke om the streets.

Be careful at flat beaches

by globetrott

Be careful at flat beaches : ebb and tide makes a difference in the coastline of 100 meters or more, depending on the place, on the shape of the coast and other situations. Rømø is one of these places and during a vacation with my parents back in 1964 I was able to watch this phenomenon and will remember it forever !My father parked our car close to the water, while it was ebb and then he took a walk with the only car-key and we stayed back at the car, swimming and building sand-castles not realizing that the ocean came closer and closer to our car. When we found out about it, it was almost too late and some other people tried to push our car out of the danger-zone, but in vain, the stirring was blocked.My father came in the very last moment and so our brave car survived...These minutes will always stay in my memory and of course, I see such a flat shore with different eyes nowadays...

Gays in Østeds park

by jenscool

I wouldn't advice single guys to go walk this park at night, there are the Butch gay guys that think you are looking for it (SEX) So if you're straight, only visit in the daytime. They will not mug or rape you, but are a irratating!

Who said Vampires do not exist?

by sinequanon

They do and they are Danish! They live in Danish forests and they will drink your blood in seconds . Never enter a Danish forest unless you immerse yourself in Deet and cover every possible exposed area of your body!

Drunk People

by aakunz

I guess this can happen everywhere, use common sense when you come accross these guys around the Main Train Station in Copenhagen, especially during the early morning hours, when everyone is waiting for the doors to open.
