Things about Denmark

Everyone has a bike. There are thousands and thousands of bikes on the roads all the time. Because 1) the entire country is extremely flat 2) cars are expensive to import, everyone bikes everywhere. Mo thinks one of the greatest things is that nobody seems to need the "greatest" new bike or all of the fancy shirts and shorts and gloves and clipless pedals. They just grab an old clunker and go. No need to be extreme or pretend they are.

The whole country just seems more civilized and advanced. Polite. Healthy food options everywhere. People just enjoying the sunshine and being outdoors or getting exercise, a slower pace to things.

Train system is comfy and covenient and easy to figure out.

They make their hot dogs just like Iceland except with pickles.
Delicious.

Smerple is one of the greatest inventions.

"skoal" is how you toast in Danish over a Carlsburg.
