10 THINGS that FOREIGNERS need to get used to in DENMARK

I don't think the stores have enough customers here in Denmark to justify a bigger selection. They'd probably have to throw most of it out. And throwing out food is not something we like to do.

The reason the strong alcohol is "protected" in some supermarkets is to prevent theft 🙂

Regarding options: I like that I don't have to walk a mile in a shop for my dailies. I hate the really big stores that have EVERYTHING in seventeen different variants (we actually DO have those. They're just few and far between) for daily shopping. If I want something special I usually go to a speciality shop that exclusively deals with that. So for instance we have tea/coffee, chocolate, cheese, wine and tobacco, sea food, etc, -shops in the city center.... I don't think we have a yoghurt shop though...

The lack of options is caused by the fact, that vi don't have hypermarkets, like you do in France. This is due to government regulations of shop sizes (to safeguard the smaller retail shops - especially in rural areas).

I know it's a bit late, since the video is a year old. The story about April is that when all the months should get their weather they all lined up in ordrer. January was the first month and he was so exited. April however got distracred by a beautifull butterfly and forgot to get her weather. By the time she remembered, there was no weather left. All of the other months felt sorry for April and decided to give her a little bit of their weather. And that is the story of why the weather is so ever changing in April.

Having been in many different countries, I completely agree with the point about the very small selection in Danish supermarkets. There is very little to choose from. It’s something that has annoyed me ever since I moved here.

I'm Danish living in Thailand - taking off your shoes is a must in Thailand as well.

The umbrella situation; 😂 yeah it does not combine well with windy situations 💕

You are spot on about getting a good raincoat. The classic Danish saying is: there is no bad weather, only improper clothing.

Regarding the Dark Chocolate, there have been many attempts the last 10-15 years to sell various flavours, but they just aren't selling enough so they stop selling them. Which is a shame :P

Excellent ! Interessant a savoir ! Tres drôle les minis videos aussi ahah

Gohhhhd you talk so sweet🥰 thanks for your so useful informations🌹🌹🌹

Ive spend alot of time in France and ive visited quite a lot of Carrefours. Its always been astonishing how many variants of dairy products you have in France. Your Yoghurt isle is basicly our entire dairyproduct + toppings isle. It seems to me that all the stores in France are big stores whereas here in Denmark every bigger city have 1 big store and several small stores. Most danes will shop in the smaller more local stores, mainly because they usually have everything we need, but also to help the local shops survive. Then every now and then we will go to the big stores to get the things we wont get in a small store.

thanks for these series of Videos you've made, I been watching them all night tonight. because i'm moving to Denmark in a month and there's so much i don't know about my new home.

Wow your English accent is good, most french people i have meet has a a strong french accent

Thanks for another great video! It was very interesting to learn about how Danes live! I have watched a lot of videos about Denmark I fallen in love with that country it is beautiful! Thanks for sharing! ❤🇺🇸

Usually it's the nore expensive alcohol thats behind the chasheer. Also... The smaller the supermarket the more is locked away and you have to ask for it. bonus tip: If you want the non standard options, you go to a speciality shop not a supermarket.

my sister used to say about the danish weather in April that it changes like a teenager mood when she's on her period XD I think the best way to deal with it is like onion, just always have lots of layers so you can take some of them down if in gets warm or put it on if there's a lot of cold wind or if it's starts raining

About the strong alcohol ( Depends witch store youre at ). 9-10 times all bottles (vodka whisky and so on ) will like you say be behind the counter. Some of bigger retail stores puts "slave" bottles (cheapest Vodka whisky and so on) in the wine section - while they, like the other stores keep most expensive alcohol behind the counter. Reason is to prevent theft. and also because its often young people behind the counter. So it also prevents the often young teens from confrontations with alcoholics stealing. ( at the smaller retail stores where the often only os 1 or 2 young people at night working)

We need more options in our supermarkets, i totally agree. I travelled alot in Spain, sooo many delicious options and combinations you dont see here. About strong alcohol, Spanish supermarkets even put alarms on them. Some of them is still behind a cashier.
