I don't think I've suffered from culture shock as such. Luckily the UK and Denmark are similar in some ways. Of course there's aspects of home I miss, such as some of the food and people, but I seem to be settling well here. Read More

Hi, When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country. What is your favorite food in Denmark? What is the local speciality? Share with us the local tastes of Denmark and why not your best recipe. Thank ...

I would like to meetup with other fellow expats in Esbjerg, but I have not found so many but I know you are out there. :) We can meetup for drinks, sports etc and form our own Esbjerg International Group! Ryan

Safety in Denmark by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Denmark? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...
From the short time I've been in Denmark, I've felt very safe. I was floored by how people casually leave their bikes outside unsecured in my town. That's something you can't do in my hometown in the UK. It all seems a lot more ... Read More
