Fun Facts
The life/work balance is considered very good in Denmark and especially attractive for families. Danes like “hygge” which is creating a cosy atmosphere for yourself or your family or guests.
The humour is full of sarcasm and irony. Double check, when a Dane says something you may find insulting, he may not mean it at all. Danes also play with words.
