In Denmark, the official language is Danish. Even so, a majority of young people speak English fluently. It can be challenging trying to read signs and groceries, but I can navigate around this by either translating on my phone or asking people for help.
The Danish Krone (dkk or kr) ($1 = 6.40kr) is typically exchanged using debit and credit cards or electronically. A common method is MobilePay, kind of like PayPal but only accessible for Danish residents. It’s often used between people at flea and farmers markets when they don’t have physical cash.
One bottle of water = 10kr = $1.06
The best meal I had this week was at a Danish cafe. Here, I got brunch made up of two dishes and a drink: bread with smoked salmon and crayfish tail salad, chia seed pudding with muesli (a type of oat) and seabuckthorn (a yellow berry) and an ice tea with papaya and mango!
I typically listen to music from back home, like indie rock, indie pop, R&B and more, but I’ve started to listen to more Danish music. In Denmark, musical artists tend to either lean more towards producing Danish lyrics or English lyrics as they have their own pros and cons.
