Funny thing: Birds usually get used to those kites and don't care. But if you put rubber snakes from the toy store on the roof and move them randomally from time to time, most birds keep away. Thanks for a great video!
I am a Norwegian living in Denmark for the last 15 years, and I recognize all of the things you mention. I dont know if Danish people are more efficient than the rest of the worlds population, but I have met several of them that fit that description. One thing I noticed, is that Danes are really good when it comes to invent something that makes life a little easier. Many great inventions originates from Denmark. I'll leave it up to you guys to find all of them.
It´s a part of an old conflict between France and England. France, England Sweden and Denmark have a sheered world record in wars against our closest neighbor. Depending on how a war is defined historians are not sure who is the recordholder.
I have alot of French friends in Denmark that speaks fluent English, but non that speaks danish, I have a close friend who really tries and I feel so bad, because no matter how hard he tries and I try, I never understand him.
I just discovered and subscribed to your channel. I live in California and watched several episodes tonight. It is a nice way to see sights and traditions in Denmark especially with travel so limited these days. Your English is very good. You have a beautiful family.
Your videos are really interesting and as a German, I have noticed all the similarities to our neighbour denmark :) Funny how France is so different but almost all of the things you mentioned are the same for us, in between your two countries. Makes me want to visit Denmark some time, it seems like a lovely country with a familiar culture and a super fascinating language, especially when you look at the similarities to our northern dialects and minority languages which sound almost the same sometimes 🧡
👍We call them Ladcykler (Cargo bikes). You can also get them as E-bikes. A month ago I saw a newlywed couple drive by Tivoli in one 👍! The groom was in his best suit, and driving, and she was in her wedding dress, sitting in the cargo space. Everyone clapped while they passed 👍😀👍 ! True story! Copenhagen people are crazy, but fun 😉 !
Just a note: Your videos are high quality. Sound and picture. The editing too. The texts you put on screen are helpful. Gather you put in some work. 👍🏻
Haha tap water was the first thing I was thinking, then you said it. But yes many Danes take clean water for granted, when in fact it is a big deal. Nice video btw.
The bird kite You are describing is actually a bird of prey silhouette to keep birds away!! But Seagulls and Crows are to clever and are not fooled for long!!
Ha ha, almost all you mentioned are everyday things in all the Nordic countries, or so I'd presume? Except mayby for the excellent bicycling/bicycle culture/bicycle lanes.... oh I miss DK!!! Venlig Hilsen fra Finland :D
The conveyers (rullebånd), in Danish stores , are superior to what You find in the German markets( Liddl,Rema etc) , because they continue , after the "kassedame", so there is room for most of the shopping, and more easy to pay and putting your groceries in the bags afterwards:)
To many foreigners it's surprising that you have to bag your stuff yourself. Anyway the split end conveyor belts have existed as long as I can remember. One oddity was when Aldi first got to Denmark, and there was no end at all, they basically expected you to park the shopping cart at the end and let stuff fall back into the cart after being scanned... Doesn't work so well with eggs, and I believe Aldi realized that not everyone buys so much that a whole cart makes sense... So all I see now are the split ends again.
Aldi has even started to chaange to the Danish style in new Danish stores. Before Aldi and Lidl have only been using the German style even in their Danish supermarkets, but Danes hate them and for very good reason. They are so impratical. They have them in many other countries too and then they often have aa long table at the end table where you can move your groves to to pack them without getting too stressed. But the Danish style just makes so much more sense.
As a dane I still find it funny that we have some of the best tap water(If not the best) in the world, and yet bottled water is a billion dollar(Almost...) industry here
As a norwegian I can't even drink danish tap water because it tastes horrible to me, sorry :P I think Sweden and Norway + maybe Switzerland has the best tap water in the world. Never seen Denmark up there on the list, but I might be wrong.
Most places in Denmark the tapwater will be better than anything bought in a bottle! Some places it has a lot of chalk (hard) which means it is advisable to put softener in during washing in a machine, for less use of soap. In nearby Norway you may be nearly unable to wash off soap during a bath, from the very soft water.
Hi Margaux. Hope everything is well on your end ? Just watched this post..., yet again.., and thought is was SO funny and mind blowing 😀 ! It's now posted on my FB site ! Wishing the best for you, the coming child, the big brother and your "Partner" 👍😊👍 !
For the ticketing system (2). Some shops (normally the chain stores, føtex, bilka etc.) use the data as a metric for how a bakershop is doing in the store. Does it preform well, does it have to be bigger/smaller within the store. Pharmacy not so much, mostly it for the line or for a prescription to be filled.
Hehe that was fun to hear .. 😊 I don't know if there is such a saying in Denmark (I'll try to translate) "in dire need a naked woman learns to sow" meaning something in the lines of that one learns to invent when needed. Fun fact. Danes have the world record for many words for lazy (I think we have 33 words for lazy) so that's it's pretty telling 🤣
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Not the Superbrugsens I've attended recently. (Nyborg, Odense). And the one in Nyborg was renovated last October. Perhaps only in Copenhagen....?🤔
Here's a good trick for the bakery. When you order, know how many pieces of bread you want and tell them that, that way they know how big the bag is going to be. So you start off with saying I need 7 pieces and then you order the different pieces you want.
The "scarecrows" on top of large buildings resembles birds of prey (eagles or hawks) It will keep many birds away from that building (ravens and others in that family are a bit too clever for them though!) Reason being that large buildings usually have large windows sections as well, especially supermarkets or car dealers for example. Birds used to fly into those windows and kill themselves. So it is more for the birds than for us humans, we have those installed.
The fake birds are also so that birds don't fly into huge windows and thereby often get killed. We put them om windows as well in a bird size sticker ;)
Birds are not really used to glass and if they can see a 'passage' they think they can fly through. So we put up preditor birds who hover and 'looking for pray' to keep the little ones alive - not to let them break their neck in the attempt...
Where do you live and where do you come from?! In cph we used to descale our kettle every week and the water tastes pretty bad if you don't let it sit. In Paris we have tiled bathrooms, flat showers with drains and anyone having a shower with glass has a raclette to not have to descale their shower every day. Automatic lawn mowers are quite common in France nowadays. I miss the widely spread mobile pay though but definitely not miss having to buy food in supermakets.
Hi ... i am new on your channel...actually i wanted to move Denmark with my family...i am living in Portugal....i only found positive things about Denmark on your channel...rest of the other channels got me scared 😱....can you please tell me about the children benefits, studies and other family benefits ?
Thats funny. Coming from the Faroe Islands, with some of the cleanest waters in the world, I and some of my peers think the water in Denmark is discusting compared to ours, and has way to much calcium in it. (The water here han none at all)
In North Macedonia, we can also drink the tap water but the limescale is a bit of problem if you want to use with an espresso machine. Does the tap water in Denmark has a problem with limescale?
IMPORTANT : about the bicycles. If you decide to get one, they are NOT as stable to drive as they seem, they can fall over. Practice riding them WITHOUT your kids in them first, and turn carefully around corners. When you have practiced without anyone in it, then try with an adult in the box. Then with your kids when you know instinctively NOT to stand up to pedal or turn quickly around corners 😅. You will crash like that and it is a heavy bike, so practice with it first. Please comment or like this comment, so it comes up top, so others see it and don’t get hurt by ignorance 😅
1. I was in NY some years ago and was really surprised when i tried the tap water.._ it had this chorine aftertaste.._ not as strong as a swimming pool.._ i even got a pizza slice with some lettuce on it where the lettuce had that chorine aftertaste.._ 3. As a building painter i can say that not all homes has those tiles.._ but its quite common though.._ 4. The bikes are called christiania bikes because they were invented there.._ but they also go under the name cargo bikes._. 6. Where i shop they now have self check-out machines.._ its easy, fast ( almost never a queue ) and the best thing.._ you don't have to interact with anyone... 8. I don't know if its used anymore or i don't register them anymore._. But big windows usually have these bird stickers on them.._ they are not for decoration but are there so birds don't fly into the windows.._
Ah the tap water... I've been to Japan once, but despite the signs saying that it was safe, I didn't dare to try. I've heard once that we try to keep the tap water below 12C in DK because otherwise the risk of bacteria growing in the system is too high. But there was no actual side taste when I used it for brushing teeth. I don't know if I was just unlucky, NYC water is also supposed to be drinkable, but at the hotels I've visited there was most often that swimming pool smell, and one place the water even smelled like diesel or other fuel... Not exactly the best cup of instant coffee I've ever had. Anyway and in the end, there's already a big difference in the taste of water at different places inside Denmark. I grew up in the middle of Jutland, not far from where most bottled water in Denmark is tapped, so I'm maybe just picky, but CPH area water is OK, but not top notch. And in CPH area we have a crazy battle with calcium... Lost count of how many electric kettles we've been through since 2012, while in Jutland I'd lose count of how many years I had had a kettle.
@@arenthus I have never seens that in SuperBrugssen, Føtex or ny other store for that matter. The only thing I have seen is a special escalator for trolleys in Denmark's oldest Føtex store in Guldsmedegade in Aarhus which is a two story store with stairs between the leves. This special trolley escalator makes sure the trolly stays horisozontal and secured during transport between the storys.
mmkay, I'm just gonna come out straight with it, I live in South Africa and I wanna get the hell outa this place. I'm thinking Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway or Canada. any thoughts?... I'm 20 and I'd like to move by 25
😆 What do you think about this Idea ? A Robot Lawnmower (they usually find there own way back to the recharging station) with a (shorter) "Hawk Kite" attached 👍😀👍 !? If you buy a house, you'll never be bothered with birds, waking U up in the morning - AGAIN 👍😊👍 !! If you live in an apartment, with a balcony, a Robot vacuum cleaner (same concept) should do the same 😀😀😀 . Ore You could just put a "Hawk kite" on your balcony! KEEP IT SIMPLE 😍
I totally have no idea why MobilePay isn't world spread yet, legit the whole world should use it (When I saw the automatic lawn mower, I was like wait wtf, I live there)
I'm Danish but I have never seen a lift for shopping carts or shopping baskets as I think you actually meant. In which supermarkets do they have these?
You could make a video about the lack of true intellectual conversations they seem to have on French television but are totally non-existent on Danish TV.
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Sorry, but that was a bit of a crazy wish. I asked you to compare Denmark Radio's P1 (their most serious talk radio) to some French top intellectual talk radio. But that requires you understanding Danish and French equally well and that's not possible. So my suggesting was stupid. Sorry.
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Yes. Without being an expert, I think learning the language is the key from which all else follows. 🗣️ Personally, I don't think I could do it (learning a new language, except English), but I would 𝘵𝘳𝘺 to do it for my kids' sake, and carry the burden without ever totally reaching the goal. But my kids will. 👶 And I look at 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗺 and think 'I could never do that; I'm not that kind of a person. I don't have the energy or ability. And besides she arrived here as a kid'. And that's all true. I guess it's a personal thing really, and me, I'd leave it to the kids. I'm from the South of Jutland (Als) and though living in Copenhagen for a long time I never learned the dialect. Now I'm living in Mid Jutland where folks don't seem to have a dialect. They don't even say "𝘥𝘦𝘵 æ 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘳æ𝘭𝘴", which was disappointing. 😒🙂 What I'm saying is: Being a 1st generation immigrant can be hard, but do it for the kids. The 2nd generation will make it.
Danes are lazy, and this is why we have invented so many things to make life easier. Work smart, not hard. I am a Dane myself, and I actually never saw one of those crow kites, they must be pretty new. I am quite sure, though, that the main reason for having such kites is to prevent small birds from killing themselves by flying into the big glass windows.
I can Imagine that 🙂. I live in Denmark and just to move out og the country - there is happent alot of bad things over the last 20 years, that make Denmark a very cold and heartless country
LOL! You keep calling your Boyfriend "My Partner" - Why ? I think there called Cargo bikes in English, and they are really smart. You can even get them in an E-version 👍. Mobilepay rules 😀 and it works in both the US and Europe. Conveyor Belt - really? The Country that has given so much to the World..., doesn't know the concept of a Conveyor Belt? Come on Margaux. Your "pulling our legs" 😉 ! Hope you all are doing well in Odense 😊 ? As always a good post! The one about "conveyor belts" blew my mind 😲😲 ! I mean. You can build the Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty....., ???
"Ladcykler" (Cargo bikes 😀 ). The trolley lift in supermarkets is far from everywhere :-( ! I hear that "MENU" has them in some of there shops. The robot lawn mover is just next step, after the robot vacuum cleaner ;-). And Yeah! Your partner is right!! The "Crow/Hawk kite" is all about keeping birds from sitting on our balcony's or "Sh...ing" on them. Apart from that, pigeons are really LOUD :-( ! Basically because there calling out for there mate, about finding a new home 😔 So here's a "fun fact". Pigeons will return to the balcony (if any), they were hatched. They will only build a nest in a corner of a balcony. If you deny them a corner, they will eventually not return. I use a peace of "French technology" and it has worked for me 👍😀👍. Four emptied bottles (one in each corner) of French Wine, filled with water (for weight). Haven't been disturbed by pigeons for years ;-) ! I often work nights and sleep in the day. Yeah. You can put up "pigeon spikes", but there ugly and you risk hurting yourself. There may be a bit of pigeon shit on your railing, but the rest of your balcony should me more or less safe.
You make France, or the place you lived sound like a cave. Apart from cargo bikes, a norm in Netherlands and Denmark, I sincerely don't know where you lived in France not to see this ever. And tap water in France having an aftertaste, cmon.
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark By what you said, you lived there in a catacombs or locked out basement out of touch with real world. If you did indeed lived in Paris, then 95% of you are saying about France and Paris especially is an outrageous lie. Everything you said that was different in Denmark except cargobike is a lie. I will not even touch on your lack of compassion towards the elderly people. You are a disgusting individual and for that I am unsubscribing. Lies and smearing of France I don't need to listen to. Disgusting
That's why Danes love to watch your videos. It brings out things we take for granted and may make us appreciate them more :)

I'm just amazed we have a french person willing to speak english 😂😂 (and you're good at it too!) - Much appreciated. Loved the video
Haha thank you! 😊
I have heard that they are only reluctant to speak English in France.
It´s a part of an old conflict between France and England. France, England Sweden and Denmark have a sheered world record in wars against our closest neighbor. Depending on how a war is defined historians are not sure who is the recordholder.
I have alot of French friends in Denmark that speaks fluent English, but non that speaks danish, I have a close friend who really tries and I feel so bad, because no matter how hard he tries and I try, I never understand him.
It has nothing to do with "willingness". It's just that a lot of French people cannot speak English. It's as simple as that. It's just like in Japan.
Hi, about the "scarecrows" (point 8): in the agriculture, it is used to keep birds away from the fruit trees.

Do you guys not have conveyer belts at your supermarkets?
By lawnmower do you mean the automatic ones?
What i mean is our conveyor belts do not have 2 separate sides , only 1 :) and for the lawn mower i mean the automatic ones yes :)
Danes are very practical!
bikes: ENG: Cargobikes DEN: Christiania Cykler
😆 What do you think about this Idea ? A Robot Lawnmower (they usually find there own way back to the recharging station) with a (shorter) "Hawk Kite" attached 👍😀👍 !? If you buy a house, you'll never be bothered with birds, waking U up in the morning - AGAIN 👍😊👍 !! If you live in an apartment, with a balcony, a Robot vacuum cleaner (same concept) should do the same 😀😀😀 . Ore You could just put a "Hawk kite" on your balcony! KEEP IT SIMPLE 😍
😄
Wow, you're beautiful! Talar du danska? Jag talar svenska och kan förstå norska och danska bara fint.
Mange tak ! Ja… meget lignende sprog! jeg forstår hvad du skrev på svensk 😲😃 jeg lærer dansk hver dag men jeg er ikke flydende🙂
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Din danska är bra! Du kommer att vara flytande någon dag snart, tror jag.
Incroyable ce pays
Sí, más o menos. un poco exagerado, quizás. Es usted muy amable.
The english name is cargo bikes. :oD
Thanks 😊
og det danske er ladcykel
No "kalk" in the water *cough* - there are some places here in Denmark, where we are OFF the scale :D
I totally have no idea why MobilePay isn't world spread yet, legit the whole world should use it (When I saw the automatic lawn mower, I was like wait wtf, I live there)
I agree with MobilePay 👍🏻 and thanks now i feel better about the lawn mower! lol 😆
I'm Danish but I have never seen a lift for shopping carts or shopping baskets as I think you actually meant. In which supermarkets do they have these?
I have seen it in SuperBrugsen 😊
alot of shops have them, after the get make over ...
Cargo bike!!!
Less calcium in Danish tap water than in French water?
She means less limestone (in French : calcaire)
what, dont you have enything in France ? :P
😅
cargo bikes
A little sidenote: imagine if Usa copied the Danish system and the Danish way of life and how good they all would have it.
They need to change their mindset. Our system wouldn't work in the USA. They are far from ready for it.
Christiania Bikes are great. Their riders not so much.
You could make a video about the lack of true intellectual conversations they seem to have on French television but are totally non-existent on Danish TV.
What do you mean ? 🤔😊
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Sorry, but that was a bit of a crazy wish. I asked you to compare Denmark Radio's P1 (their most serious talk radio) to some French top intellectual talk radio.
But that requires you understanding Danish and French equally well and that's not possible.
So my suggesting was stupid. Sorry.
@@Finnec123 maybe one day i will be able to! 😃😊
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark
Yes.
Without being an expert, I think learning the language is the key from which all else follows. 🗣️
Personally, I don't think I could do it (learning a new language, except English), but I would 𝘵𝘳𝘺 to do it for my kids' sake, and carry the burden without ever totally reaching the goal. But my kids will. 👶
And I look at 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗺 and think 'I could never do that; I'm not that kind of a person. I don't have the energy or ability. And besides she arrived here as a kid'. And that's all true.
I guess it's a personal thing really, and me, I'd leave it to the kids.
I'm from the South of Jutland (Als) and though living in Copenhagen for a long time I never learned the dialect.
Now I'm living in Mid Jutland where folks don't seem to have a dialect. They don't even say "𝘥𝘦𝘵 æ 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘳æ𝘭𝘴", which was disappointing. 😒🙂
What I'm saying is: Being a 1st generation immigrant can be hard, but do it for the kids. The 2nd generation will make it.
@@Finnec123 yes i absolutely agree with you 😊
Very beautiful sweet girl
The thing with getting a number is fairly new in Denmark.
No its not... ;-)
Danes are lazy, and this is why we have invented so many things to make life easier. Work smart, not hard. I am a Dane myself, and I actually never saw one of those crow kites, they must be pretty new. I am quite sure, though, that the main reason for having such kites is to prevent small birds from killing themselves by flying into the big glass windows.
It is funny to see that alot of foreigners love Denmark, and alot of danes run away from the country
I would say that applies to quite a few countries 😊 i feel the same about France 🤔😅
I can Imagine that 🙂. I live in Denmark and just to move out og the country - there is happent alot of bad things over the last 20 years, that make Denmark a very cold and heartless country
LOL! You keep calling your Boyfriend "My Partner" - Why ? I think there called Cargo bikes in English, and they are really smart. You can even get them in an E-version 👍. Mobilepay rules 😀 and it works in both the US and Europe. Conveyor Belt - really? The Country that has given so much to the World..., doesn't know the concept of a Conveyor Belt? Come on Margaux. Your "pulling our legs" 😉 ! Hope you all are doing well in Odense 😊 ? As always a good post! The one about "conveyor belts" blew my mind 😲😲 ! I mean. You can build the Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty....., ???
"Ladcykler" (Cargo bikes 😀 ). The trolley lift in supermarkets is far from everywhere :-( ! I hear that "MENU" has them in some of there shops. The robot lawn mover is just next step, after the robot vacuum cleaner ;-). And Yeah! Your partner is right!! The "Crow/Hawk kite" is all about keeping birds from sitting on our balcony's or "Sh...ing" on them. Apart from that, pigeons are really LOUD :-( ! Basically because there calling out for there mate, about finding a new home 😔
So here's a "fun fact". Pigeons will return to the balcony (if any), they were hatched. They will only build a nest in a corner of a balcony. If you deny them a corner, they will eventually not return. I use a peace of "French technology" and it has worked for me 👍😀👍. Four emptied bottles (one in each corner) of French Wine, filled with water (for weight). Haven't been disturbed by pigeons for years ;-) ! I often work nights and sleep in the day. Yeah. You can put up "pigeon spikes", but there ugly and you risk hurting yourself. There may be a bit of pigeon shit on your railing, but the rest of your balcony should me more or less safe.
Sorry but the water here in DK or anywhere for that matter is NOT clean! AT ALL! its a big lie.
troll
@@kknielsen30 det kan du sgu selv være 😆
Haha are France even part of the modern western world? 🤣
You make France, or the place you lived sound like a cave. Apart from cargo bikes, a norm in Netherlands and Denmark, I sincerely don't know where you lived in France not to see this ever. And tap water in France having an aftertaste, cmon.
Yup, Paris is definitely a cave 😆 loool
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark By what you said, you lived there in a catacombs or locked out basement out of touch with real world. If you did indeed lived in Paris, then 95% of you are saying about France and Paris especially is an outrageous lie. Everything you said that was different in Denmark except cargobike is a lie. I will not even touch on your lack of compassion towards the elderly people. You are a disgusting individual and for that I am unsubscribing. Lies and smearing of France I don't need to listen to. Disgusting
@@J4ckCr0w Just relax man, we all been to Paris and we all love France, but your tap water does NOT taste good
