Steve Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hmmm, not sure about that, I've always heard there was something rotten in Denmark. Actually, I've always had this weird desire to visit Copenhagen and see the country. Maybe one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I would encourage you to go, this is a really nice city. My Danish friends are really great people but they admit themselves that Denmark can be a lonely country if you go live there (at least at the begining) as Danish people have a very private life and getting close to them is really difficult. Still, I would certainly consider working there if not for the weather... Don't have any opinion regarding the survey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Yes, I have heard/read something like this before about Denmark. Is it a Viking thing? How much diversity is there in Denmark? I bet they have universal medical coverage - so no need to worry there. Surveys: I lived in this pathetic small former mill town in NA awhile back. Mills all closed. Town/city looked run down. Dull boring town. And not a pretty one either with the mills all boarded up along the river. But, the town/city next over was a college town. Famous college. The college in next town also had a medical school and famous hospital. The median income was skewed as some/many of the college professors and medical people lived in my town. The newspaper of my town - one day - had headline - basically stating that this town was rated best in country - Number 1. I just could not believe that anyone or institution could rate this town anywhere near Number 1. And the newspaper had a field day espousing the greatness of this dumpy former mill town. Well, I dug deeper. The survey was done by some college professor who had never actually visited the town nor visited the province nor visited the state. His conclusion - the survey results - came strictly from - (manipulated) STATISTICS. After that one, I am a little leary about surveys stating this town/city/country is the best. But, I too, would love to visit Denmark. My guess is that Danes are happy and that Denmark is a nice country - with or without some survey.

Torneyboy Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 The world is becoming a happier place overall, according to the survey, which has been conducted since 1981. Don't know about that one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
