I seem to forget it's actually CONNECTED.


We used to go to Tivoli every summer--- ice cream cones--- take the ferry from Helsingborg---


But what do we know about Denmark today? I hear it's being infested errrr.... "visited" by those who wish only peace...

Have they gutted their culture like Sweden has---- or---


What's the dif between Danes and Swedes?


There's just not much news that hits us coming out of Denmark--- I'm just curious


Legoland!!

The cookies are different.

Which culture do you prefer? (Danes not that well known for their films, as an example (oy- not like the Swedes are, but they have Bergman))

If Estonia had a richer native culture, it would be something like Denmark.

see? that wasn't hard was it? what an interesting answer!!

(IT'S A TRAP snyprrr, IT'S A TRAP- DON'T ANSWER!!)

So, if Denmark was a little more culturally debased, Jarvi would record more of their music?  what?... wait... huh?...

Lars von Trier.

Is he going for the Dreyer Award? Doesn't he have a new movie 'Nymphomaniac' with that little hottie in it? And yes, it's just about a teenage nympho- every Western European paedo's wet dream... can i dovetail this into a Dutch Thread too?? ???

What's the best Trier film you'd recommend? (must go check...)

The first thing that comes to mind for me when Denmark is mentioned is, believe it or not, Rued Langgaard and his huge top hat.

I am not obligated to think of the greatest first. Often the more original, distinctive or, maybe I should say, weird one gets to your head first.

I like Denmark because nothing newsworthy comes from Denmark.
