laundry by cdtsilva
I'm wondering how do single people, live in Denmark? Over the Copenhagen area it is very common for smaller flats not to have a washing machine. I was caught on such, only told after I placed my reservation. I dont have many clothes as I have ...
There is no place on the flat for one and also I'm constantly travelling. I guess I just have to take it for now, I'll be moving in 2 weeks so hopefully will not make the same mistake ;) Read More
Bored and frustrated in Copenhagen!? by Vukovska
I know, I know, it is almost impossible to get bored even for an hour in a great and vivid city like Copenhagen. And yet, I am bored! I moved here three months ago with my BF, who started his studies at Roskilde University in September. Now, he ...
Couldn't have said it better. You'll be trying to steer the relationship on your own, get frustrated, etc. Sometimes people love in Awkward ways and they tend to take you for granted. If you tell him your feelings and stay firm that would ... Read More

Thanks, man, it's been really helpful what you say. Well, I understand what you are saying. I mean, I am also a very private person and sometimes (to be honest, MANY times!) I want to be left alone and do the things I like doing by myself. And ... Read More

I came to Denmark alone but I have been in similar situation while with an ex, and to put it plainly, this is not acceptable, if you are a couple you do couple things, and he should be including you so you can make friends with friends of his ... Read More

basic salary in copenhagen by cctox
Hi guys, Im in the process of moving to CPH in a couple of months and besides trying to adjust to the new city and learning danish, I am also going to apply for as many jobs as I can. I was wondering what is the approximately basic salary that you ...
My advice is try and see how much it will actually cost you to live here. Its an expensive town, anything less than 100 DKK/hour, before taxes, on a full time job will have you struggling. Read More

Are you happy in Denmark? by Priscilla
Hello everyone! According to the 2016 UN World Happiness Survey, Denmark, Switzerland and Iceland are the happiest countries on earth. How about you? Are you happy in Denmark? Do you feel happier today in your host country than before in your ...
I dont believe surveys, They put a criteria and then follows it, even if not representative. I lived in Denmark and found its people miserable, have little to enjoy of the life, definetly not happy, but finding the best way to live the life they ... Read More

Happiness is an inside job, but certainly has something to do with the environment in which we place ourselves. I came to Denmark a little over 20 years ago. I have adjusted to the cultural shock. I am still learning. I am satisfied that Denmark ... Read More

How many days to wait a post letter from norway to denmark?
My experience with other European countries: If its just a letter (rather than a package) it should clear pretty quickly, normally about 4-7 days. Read More
