Hi, i am planning to get the GC of denmark...? hw is the condition of work there? i mean are the jobs available?

Whoops, I didn't mean to post that when I did... Anyway, I think the Danes in general are a bit reserved, but very friendly. I have had really good experiences with the people here being helpful about their culture and how things are done...just ask ... Read More

The rental associations have waiting lists, and it can take many years to get to the top of the list, so if you plan to stay in Denmark a long time but dont want to buy a house, I would recommend getting on some of the association lists for future ... Read More

Well, dont be too disheartened. I have only been looking for work in the field that I worked in while in the States, which was office admin work. I have bad knees that don't allow me to work in a job that would require me to stand all day ... Read More

Any americans in here who would like to give private english lessons? by Joah71

Thanks! Just knowing the correct name is a HUGE help! I did find a place and it was about 4 times the cost, but my clothes were cleaner, and I didn't have to make 2 trips up and down several flights of stairs for each load. Nice to have it all done ... Read More


Denmark x things I hate about you by ibrahjette
Let us call a spade a spade. Denmark sucks! Well... sucks most of the time... I am constantly coming up against things that frustrate, annoy, and anger me to the point where I consider my options. Of course there are those moments that make it all ...

I dislike a lot of things here, but also love a lot of things, so it evens out. One thing I really dislike, is the presumption by most Danes that because I am American I have a lot of money, or came from a very priviledged life before arriving here. ... Read More
