She also touches on dating in Denmark, Danish drinking culture, Danish child-raising, and how you can guess a Danish person's age from their first name alone. This entertaining look at life as an outsider in Denmark draws on gentle humor and can be enjoyed by both foreigners and their Danish friends.

Ratings and reviews

It gives you great insights into how the Danish mind works and what you can do to blend right in. Lovely book, get it, you won't regret it :-)

Very humorous and a great introduction to Denmark for those pesky foreigners looking for 'hygge'

The book is quite informative and has a pleasing tone.
