lets go!
So… we can do better? Still a few places to go before exceeding Kuwait…
This isn’t a surprise to anyone here. Our close knit friend groups and lack of gossip between strangers makes it really hard to start a new life here. It takes a lot of work to find friends.
Also, we are #45, not 47.
Altså, det ligner umiddelbart at Skandinavien generelt gør som vi altid gør og holder sammen.
Men egentlig undrer jeg mig da ikke over at Danmark ligger så lavt. Vi danskere er notorisk svære at komme ind på og det gør det da heller ikke nemmere at alt smøres ind i tykke lag af sarkasme og selvironi.
I mean, aren’t Nordics in general bad at socialising with strangers, like keeping distance to others at the bus stop?
Doesn’t surprise me the least that outsiders have a hard time getting into local communities
This is very interesting! I moved to Germany from the US last year (trying to escape Trump because I could feel he was going to ruin). It’s been pretty hard to settle here. I know Scandinavia was difficult, but thought Germany would be easier than Denmark. According to this list, it’s actually more difficult! Maybe because Germans don’t speak great English?
Anyway I’ve been to Denmark a few times and found Danes to be delightful.
Horrible news!
This means that people socialize with strangers, i believe this is a huge mistake and a slippery slope leading towards normalizing horrible behaviors like:
Speaking to strangers on the bus,
Neighbors interacting with you outside of emergencies,
Distant acquaintances cold calling you on the phone without texting first
People sitting next to you on public transport, when there’s other free seats with no neighbor,
And the worst one – the person in front of you starts a conversation with the cashier in the line at Bilka
Our 45. place is a rookie number
We need to pump these numbers up!
Jeg er dansk, min kone er fra Hong Kong. Vi har boet og arbejdet i en del forskellige lande, inkluderet USA, Schweiz, Singapore og Vietnam. Der er ingen tvivl om at Danmark er langt det sværeste land at falde til i, blandt de steder vi har boet. Selv for mig som pære dansk med familie og netværk i Danmark, var det et stort kulturchok at flytte hjem, efter 25 år i udlandet. Jeg kan levende forestille mig hvor svært det må være, for personer uden tilknytning til landet.
This isn’t news at all
Maybe is due to the fact that many English speaking immigrants dont learn Danish, expect everything to work the same as back home, and naively believe culture/values will be the same.
If expats/immigrants truly want to fit in there’s a need to learn the language and at least atune some of their cultural beliefs and values to those of their new host country.
Fedt
Jeg tænkte mest: hvem har lavet det her og hvorfor. Og så læser jeg det er international community, og vi kender alle de typer. Lad mig være, og det er dejligt med så lav en plads hvis det betyder færre trælse ekstroverte udlændinge.
