Inside The Happiest Place On Earth - 10 Shocking Things You've Never Heard Before!
We are lucky in Sweden to have so many nice neighbours! Norway, Finland and Denmark. What a luxury!
The worst thing about living in Denmark is that Sweden is so close to us. #RemoveØresundbroen #DenySwedesToDenmark #JävlaSvenska

it also luxury for us danes to come to sweden

Danebrog is from 1219. You could add, that the largest company in Europe is Danish (measured in value, Novo Nordic)
And the oldest living monarchy
@@thefubar3857That is not entirely true, even tho we would like to take that title as well. No Japan has that record.
And please don't forget Maersk Carlsberg, Grundfos, and thousands of other famous brands known worldwide.
after reading the danes' comments (am one myself), one could add that danes are among the absolute most zealous.
Is it a fact, tat Japan is a monarchy?@@oscarjrgensen190
Although I wasn't born in Denmark, I'm proud to be living here and to call myself a Dane.
We're happy to have you 😃
@@CountPenta exactly my words😊
How are you danish if you are not born there 😂😂😂 aint noway
@@jihadiijoe If you live there for more then 3+ years you're a dane... dont have to be born there as long as you follow the law and rules we don't have problems...
@@ExGoFX who made that rule thats not how it works 😂😂😂
We Indians should crave for our country India to be like Denmark,the Scandinavian country.Three cheers for Denmark.
Love from Denmark 😅❤
Sadly that will never happen.
There is no one single scandinavian country. There are 3 scandinavian countries.
Low from Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤
We do, in fact, complain about the weather A LOT.... We just go out into it anyway.... 🤣
Hehe complaining about stuff can almost be considered a national passtime here 😂
To be fair, our Weather is mid at best
Det er forår!
we have to
Bonus fact:
Lars Thiesgaard, a well-known danish voice actor and voice director for many Danish dubbed Disney movies, stated that the higher ups at Disney prefered the Danish dubbed versions over the original American dubs back in the 1990's.
As a Dane, I gladly pay my taxes. We get it back by not having to pay for an ambulance or going to the hospital. At the age of 9, I was hospitalized for 2 months with a lot of rehabilitation afterwards. Didn't cost my family anything.
We get pretty good infrastructure and do not pay for school, vocational or higher education.
What I like about being a Dane is the trust we have in each other and the government. The latter is (unfortunately) under pressure - especially due to mis- and desinformation, the lack of critical thinking skills due to bombardments of speedy information on the internet and the rise of chaos pilots becoming leaders around the world. That could potentially destroy what we value.
You can't take democracy for granted. It's fragile if we loose focus.
As a fellow dane i fully support what was said, As a newborn i was in and out of hospital for the first 3 years, my parents would have been financially ruined if they lived in a place like the US.
It's scary as F..., just the sheer amount new laws, their already passed, sindsygt, it's only just begun. I've read half of their law folketinget 23-24, sad, but it's not that dystopia'ish,. Vores fremtidige Danmark afhænger af os folket, hvis de prøver på at sælge Dannebrog, som sker mere og mere omkring os. Her på Bornholm, eller Energi Ø Bornholm, kæmpe joke. Men stadig har vi et fantastisk land, vores grundlov skal bevares og pilles ved. Nok om det, Nyder i jule sneen på "fastlandet"😊. Glædelig jul, til jer allesammen 🎅skulle hilse fra Krølebølle👋 bye bye
trust in the government, 😂😂😂😂
@@koikanalen Apparently, that's not to your liking. That's ok. I know I never have to worry about hospital bills or getting an education. Children can play in in the streets without the risk of getting abducted and my children do not go through shooter drills at school.
I value that kind of trust. If you don't, that's ok.
Can you spot the two obvious inaccurate facts in this video? 😉
This guy's attempt at Danish sounds like a language duel between a rubber ducky and a tongue-twister champion.
Wow, thank you for that mental image 😂
Yeah im guessing its an AI voice. Maybe also an AI script.
The flag, Dannebrog, is MUCH older than you narrate in this video. The common belief is that it has been the flag since 1219. Although that might not be a 100% historical fact, the name, DANNEBROG, is found in 1380. You have only focused on 'official' changes to the format, not the origin of the flag.
In the early 13th century, the Danish king Valdemar Sejr (Valdemar the Victorious) led his army on a crusade in present-day Estonia. During a The Battle of Lyndanisse or Lindanise (now Tallinn, Estonia) on June 15, 1219, the Danes were on the defensive when suddenly a red banner with a white cross fell from the sky. As a result, the luck changed, the Danish army won, and Denmark got its flag
@@sandermitt The king got his flag, it took many 100 years before that flag became the national flag.
@@sandermitt That's a myth, not historical fact.
The flag found and brought home most likely was a German Crusaders flag, as they fought close by, as also named in Malta, with a very similar Crusaders Flag now being used as theirs!
The original flag is kept in a now German Church, south of the Border and it of course looks very much different from the present used flags! But it is a nice and very convincing story!!!!

I'm a Dane..., but we are not the happiest country anymore, we're at number 2 spot..., Finland are the most happy people..., for the last 6 years....
"10 Shocking Things About DENMARK That You've Never Heard Before"? This is just about a list of the most well known Denmark facts in existence!
"Facts". There's a bunch of them that aren't half right, or even close to it
as someone whos lived in Denmark my whole life, I love hearing facts about my country
Born and live in Denmark. I like to find videos like this to try and see what other people see my homecountry for.
Adressing the title: "10 Shocking Things About DENMARK That You've Never Heard Before!"
Every single point in this video has been shown multible times on many videos from other channels, years ago...
Og de kalder Sjælland stadig for Zealand og Seeland...
Yeah instead he forgot to mention that Denmark has the world highest sea population (per capita) and also the world's highest CO2 Polution (per capita) including Maersk. Also Denmark is the country in the whole world which is worst in nature protection- with only 0,00001 percent wild nature left. So Denmark is a real shit country- full of pig shit
Som om ingen havde hørt om lego var fra danmark før altså, kuk kuk mester youtuber
Great video! We're hoping to visit Denmark this summer.
i hope u get to see more of Denmark than just a city... in the very North of Jutland, in Skagen, u can see 2 seas with different colours meet, but not mix, and stand with 1 foot in each... in Århus, 2nd largest city in Denmark, there's an open air museum, called Den Gamle By (The Old Town) with people and all... a little outside of the Capital Copenhagen, u can go to the oldest amusement park in the world, Bakken, that has a lot of charm to it, and so is the amusement park Tivoli, which is in the Capital, and is the 3rd oldest in the world...
We'd love to have you^^ Visit Vejle beautiful city, and take the bus(30 mins) to Legoland. I would HIGLY recommend using a day at LEGOhouse, It's really worth it.
Summer is the time to be here, hope you are lucky with the weather.
Do remember, get the hell out of Copenhagen as soon as you can.
@@pliashmuldba I have to ask why I live in Copenhagen and I love it so much each and every day
@@spyro257can't forget, well, the entirity of Billund
BTW as student you are entitled to appr. $1000 a month from the state so you won’t have to work while studying.
The good thing about Denmark is that as a pensioner you can still afford two cars, a sailboat in the harbor, a villa, and eat red steaks with red wine.
Fun fact: Denmark and Equatorial Guinea are the only two countries in the world where the capital is placed on an island even there is a great part of land attached to a continent.
And I am danish and worked in Equatorial Guinea. The Capital used to be on the mainland but due to risk of invation from Nigeria and Cameroon they moved the Capital to Bioko.
@@keeprocking1977 Det er meget sjovt at læse det. Der er ikke så mange Dansker ellers der kender til Ækvatorialguinea!
true.. kender vist heller ikke andre end dem jeg arbejdede med dernede dengang.
@@hassanalihusseini1717
Funny observation. But then, the continental part of E.Q., Rio Muni, is, I think, a very backward place, and the oil is around Bioko. Sad that the life-long president is another stereotype of African dictators, pocket most of the national income for his family, incl. his jetset son. Years ago, hosting the OAU meeting he bought a 100 black Mercedes to transport each of the other presidents the short distance from the airport to Malabo. While the ordinary people were scavenging the roadside.
Something that bites me abit is that this video is mainly focused in and about copenhagen like when he said "in Copenhagen you can drink water straight from the tab" I know its a minor detail but ofcourse you can drink tapwater everywhere in denmark.
It's funny when you consider the fact, that the rest of Denmark makes fun of Copenhagen for being reserve svenskere.
You could add, Copenhagen is not the only city in Denmark
Everything that is good in Denmark you also can find in Finland, Norway and Sweden. The difference is the nature.
We nordic European countries are old friends in one family.
Too much talk about Copenhagen. Copenhagen is the Capital of Denmark but most people lives on the main Island you call Jutland (in danish Jylland).
Fynen (in danish called Fyn) is the second largest island. The main city is Odense, were Hans Christian Andersen is born.
If you come to Denmark. Forget about Copenhagen. See the rest of our country.
Well, but 25% of the population lives in Copenhagen..
No, only about 40% live in Jutland
Jylland is not an island. It is the continental part of Denmark which shares border with Germany.
Actually Fyn is only the third largest Island. Sekund largest is Nørrejyske Ø
Du må være jyde.
I don't know about the rest of Europe, but at least in all Nordic countries you can drink the tap water. I have always done it here in Sweden, for instance.
About islands, if you want many of those, Sweden has the most of them in the world, I think there are 267570 of them here. That's a lot of islands to explore for a coffee break.
Sorry for bragging about Sweden, and I like Denmark too, although I've only been there a few couple of times.
You also have a lot of crime (as in a LOT) you talk backwards, and you don't own a continent which would make aforementioned islands in question look incredibly small in comparison. Even if you added twice or even three times the amount.
I don't like Sweden, but I will hand it to you Johnny, your landscapes are breathtaking.
@@Aberrantly I don't know what I wrote that was related to crime, but look at the numbers. It's a lot if you compare it with maybe Norway or something, but it's almost nothing compared to the US, for instance (even when population is taken into account, which it usually is).
The rest of what you wrote I didn't understand at all. I'm not sure why I would own a continent, so maybe I just don't understand the language well enough. I'm not a native English speaker, obviously.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 You didn't write (type, technically) anything that was related to crime per se, I just used it as an example of something that makes Sweden a little less great than Denmark (even if taking population differences into account)
As for owning a continent, that was just my way of bragging of how much bigger the Danish monarchy technically is compared to Sweden and all of its smaller islands.
My paternal Grandmother was swedish, and she lived in Elsinore (Denmark), so every time we spent a holiday with her at least a couple of Weeks twice a year, we often went on day trips to Helsingborg (Sweden) just across the strait (25 minuttes by ferry). I loved going to Sweden as a kid and a teen, and the landscapes in Sweden are more breathtaking than the Danish. We sometimes rented a cottage in Sweden for a week during summer time. I also liked that many decades before EU was even invented, Denmark, Sweden and Norway formed a union and we trusted each other to a degree that you didn't even had to bring your passport to cross the borders between those countries. It was also always possible for citizens from any of the three Scandinavian countries to settle down and live and/or work in one of the neighbouring countries and students of the Nordic univeristies could roam freely between Denmark, Sweden a d Norway having one of the best exchange student programs. I remember at some stage almost 40 percent of medicine students in Danish universitets were from Sweden.
I've always felt a strong bond to my fellow Scandinavian brothers and sisters, and love the fact that we for the most part understand each others languages. It has always during World championships like football or handball been a natural thing to cheer for one of the other Scandinavian countries' national teams if, for example, our own dropped out of the quarter or semi-finals.
@@AberrantlyWell, I guess we could argue back and forth like forever about what is best. 🤪
Just to be very clear, the ”bragging” part of what I wrote in my first comment was meant as a friendly joke between neighbours and the purpose wasn't to start a debate or anything like that. 👍
Once met a Norwegian at our 2nd highest "peak" called "Himmelbjerget". He was really upset that we called it "The heavens mountain" (directly translated) - and stated loudly and somewhat angrily that it was "just a flat road". Everyone there found it hilarious - since we really don't care what it's called. It's a nice place and a nice nature - and you can drink beer there so... It's PERFECT in our minds! LOL
haha thats a good one i have been there servel times an yes maybe is a flat road but your are never wrong aboudt the Beer hehe
Tell me only one place where you can’t drink beer 😂
@@HughLeDuc I can tell you plenty - but let's just go full tilt right off the bat: A mosque in Iran.
Anyway 😀 - the point is it's a very nice place to have a beer. Like actual "hygge". The Danish word which you can't really translate to English. It's a sort of version of "cozy" - however just - MORE!
@@Craider79 we speak of Denmark, though. Forget about Asia.
@@HughLeDuc The point I was making is that it's a really nice place be - and especially on a warm spring day it is absolutely beautiful and serene. Just a great day out having a walk up the "mountain" with friends/family. Everyone from Denmark was there to experience that - while the guy from Norway thought he was going on a mountain expedition! Not trying to say other places aren't nice or anything. I've never had a bad time there - and I've probably been there - or in that area at least 100 times.
The highest point in Denmark is the pylons supporting the Great Belt Bridge 254m (833ft)
The top of the Rø transmitter is 431.2 meters above sea level and is thus Denmark's highest fixed point
You have made me so happy to be born in denmark i love this video
You needed this video to be happy about being born here?
I live in Denmark, and i never knew that you cant drink water straight from the tap in a lot of other countries🤯
That's because this 'fact' is highly misleading. Most of Europe the water is drinkable straight from the tap. TGhe 'fact' as presented implies that Denmark is unusual. In this respect its just like the rest of Europe.
I hate to say it being born in Denmark and lived in Denmark all my life (now 74 years old): this is a fairy tale. It’s actually a little comical. Even Hans Christian Andersen, being a true master in writing a fairy tale, would not have written anything like this.
Altough Denmark is one of the happiest countries in the world (fallen in rank), it's also one of the countries where people take most anti-depressants per citizen.
That is like determining broken bones based on how many MRI scans a country does. According to those data Africans never break their legs
Yes and he forgot to mention that Denmark has the world highest sea population (per capita) and also the world's highest CO2 Polution (per capita) including Maersk. Also Denmark is the country in the whole world which is worst in nature protection- with only 0,00001 percent wild nature left. So Denmark is a real shit country- full of pig shit
Not to argue too much with that fact, but i imagine those rankings would look a LOT different if everywhere had Anti-depressants as readily avaliable and affortable as we have (with a doctors perscription ofc)
Fairly certain North Korea would top that list fairly quick then.
That’s why we are so happy lol
@@tomschmidt5022.. affordable?? ..
The visit to the doctor is free ( prepared by your tax) but you have to pay for you meds at the farmacy.. allot of elderly people and those who love on Denmarks famous welfare system, and only receives Moby from the state cant afford to buy there prescription medicines at the farmacy..
So the majority of the people i know how have a chronic deacise is not getting the right treatment... This cost lives- A simple illness as asthma is suddenly Deadly
I was just going to remark that the Dannebrog dates back to 1219, when according to legend it fell down from the sky during a battle. But several others have already made this comments, so I don't.
I am shocked, did it really fell down from the sky ?
@@user-dq1hq4of6o Yes. According to legend, the first ever copy of the red-white flag fell directly from the sky during a battle in Estonia 15 June 1219 between Christian Danes and pagan Estonians. It was a miracle, a sign from God that the Danes would be victorious.
Lego... L.E.G.O.
There have never ever been an S at the end of Lego. It's just Lego.
The Worldfamous LEGO brick is NOT a LEGO invention - it was developed by the English Company “Kiddicraft”. LEGO got the permission to also produce them, and started this in 1949 changing thesize of the bricks to fit the metric dyste. In 1981 LEGO bought the rights from Kiddycraft. The LEGO brick is identical to the Kiddycraft Brinck - even the colours, and boxes they were sold in were identical. LEGO never themselves published this truth about the origin of the brick..

Fun fact about Denmark and our Amusement Parks!
We have 2 out of the worlds 3 oldest Amusement Parks in Denmark!!!
Number one Bakken is from 1583 and number three is Tivoli from 1843!
By the way Austria have number two oldest Amusement Park named Vienna Prater from 1766.
Notable mentions:
- Denmark is one of the oldest countries and monarchies in the world - but also one of the biggest (as the Danes owns Greenland, which is bigger than the size of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom - combined)
- Denmark is one of the richest countries in the world (while also being one of the healthiest) that's right ladies, you'll have little issue finding your prince charming here)
- Danes tend to be very competitive, so Denmark is rich in sports and especially sports events.
- Denmark is known for being quote "home to the giants" as most Danes are relatively tall.
- Danes are unlike most other people that you'll find (and that's coming from someone that has traveled the world) as their way of acting is... Well, different. You can't always tell if they like or dislike you, and they're very good at being sarcastic (which obviously doesn't help either)
- Most Danes aren't into politics and the whole "social media" world, and will likely think low of you if you happen to be (provided that you tell them about it)
- Most Danes aren't very religious despite having churches, they mostly just keep them around to preserve history.
- Denmark is home to some of the world's finest restaurants, hereunder Noma, Alchemist, Geranium, Kadeau, and AOC.
Denmark does not own Greenland. Just ask the peoble in Greenland. Even Donald Trump knows it now
@@user-dq1hq4of6o "In the early 17th century, Dano-Norwegian explorers reached Greenland again. When Denmark and Norway separated in 1814, Greenland was transferred to the Danish crown, and was fully integrated in the Danish state in 1953 under the Constitution of Denmark, which made the people in Greenland citizens of Denmark."
@@user-dq1hq4of6o Denmark does in fact own Greenland, and the real reason why America hesitated with their offer, was (other than it being far lower than what Greenland is worth) the tragicomic fact that America is $1,7 trillion in debt.
Denmark and Greenland wants little to do with the laughing stock of the world, and can you really blame them?
@@Aberrantly Greenland is owned by the peoble of Greenland. Greenland is not a part of Denmark, they have their oven parliment and flag, but they share the monarcy whith Denmark. Just as England does not own Scotland
@@Aberrantly Several other things had happened between Denmark and Greenland. They are no longer an "amt" or "koloni". They got home rule, have their own ministers and flag,but in foreign affairs they are common with Denmark. You can compare it to the relation between England and Scotland

And as others point out dannebrog is much older than you tell.

It's very important to mention that Denmarks tax system is progressive, meaning your tax is decided according to how much you make, meaning you have a lower tax than many other countries if you earn minimum wage, while you'll have one of the highest if not the actual highest if you take home a huge paycheck.
Oh yeah, and when you turn 18 and go to school, you'll actually get paid for it.. It's called SU(Statens Uddannelsesstøtte/State Educational Support Grants).

13:30 Just in Copenhagen? I've never been or heard of anywhere in Denmark where you couldn't drink water from the tap.
I can assure you that complaining about the weather is very much a thing that Danes do.
And the only country in Europe that has a landboarder with Canada, more exciting then LEGO
Denmark is a great country. Us Danes will probably say different, but when you think about it, Denmark is wonderful. We have our economic problems. When we compare ourselves to other countries, we have secure and well founded system. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else ❤
I am extremly dispointet that Jutland (Jylland) is just not even mentioned as "The Big 3" as there is far more culture related and coastal life than eny where else in Denmark
Måske fordi det 'kun' er en halv-Ø.
Jep, han snakkede specifikt kun om øerne på det punkt… men ja jylland burde være ihvert fald omtalt
@@tomschmidt5022 Ja, selvfølgelig burde han det.
Part of the smugness of Danes too, half the population lives in the Greater Copenhagen Region and they have little knowledge of where most of their food comes from --> Jylland.
A mountain is defined by being 1000 m abow sea-level, so no mountains in Denmark, unless you count Greenland as Denmark....
If you choose to do trade school, it's 4.5 yr education and once you are done, you can build a BA ontop of it.

Yes we have clean water, but it's heavy because calcium from underground. We don't have any other minerals below our feet. Moreover the grand scale of farming is threaten the quality of water. A bit of conflict to solve.

Fact: we complain about everything, including the weather.
Amazing video. As a dane I have to make a correction though. The island you call Zealand or Seeland in the video is called "Sjælland" (Soul land if you want to directly translate it). Also Funen is called Fyn in danish. This might help someone out if you're planning a trip here :)
Also if you want to impress danish people. See if you can learn the pronounciation of our 3 extra letters (Æ, Ø and Å). Watching videos will help, as they don't sound like you'd expect.
Those are the international names, and it makes sense to use them in an English-language video. Your origin of Sjælland is not correct. Den Store Danske (Lex) "Navnet Sjælland optræder ca. 950 som Selund, af gammeldansk *sial 'fure' eller dyrebetegnelsen sæl og afledningsendelsen -und."
oh yea for the weather i hate rain and snow.. but, i don't mind it being cold or hot as long as it doesn't rain or snow xD
Its nice to see that this guy did a good amount of research.
Im a bit sad about the way he pronounced some names but its alright.
Good vid
As a dane i can say when it comes to mountains we ain’t got nothing. We have a place called “Himmelbjerget” or skymountain and its just a big Hill, but its a fun place to hike
Omg i didn't know other countries cant drink water from the tap.
Its just so natural in Denmark
0:24 bro thats the Faroe Islands 😂
0:24 that is not denmark
Might be from Faroe Island and therefore kinda part of DK
Correct, that is the Faroe Islands
Hmm Wikipedia have just been corrected. The Danish flag was instituted in 1117 after the battle of Vilnius. Potentially as a reverse knights templar standard. Not my opinion. But act 2 of "Dane Law".
I’m Danish and you are saying Evie rude Wong😂

@@lindeermig I USA får du intet. That is what we call social security
Bro i was born and raised in Denmark and i didn’t even know we had tha many Islands💀
Dannebrog(the Danish flag) have been in use for 800 years not just 400, nobody pays 50% tax on their income as in income tax , the average payed income tax is 34%, those who pay the highest rate only pay it on amounts over about 100.000 dollars earned, meaning they pay the lower rate on everything under 100.000 earned, that said with the vat and tax on a lot of things it does end up that high all included , it's just important to separate the two because a lot of people think the income tax is 50% and everything else is on top of that
I didn't know that Denmark was such a paradise to live in - and i've been born and raised in Demark and lived here for 51 yrs oh well
We have 13 active parties in politics :)
As a Dane this wasn't really "things I've never heard before"
This is a great video. I'm showing some African migrants that just landed in Italy right now. They should be arriving to Denmark after winter. They want to thank the Danish taxpayers for the opportunity to bring much needed diversity!
Water: It is in fact so clean that bottled water is a downgrade from our tap-water. A policy of no chemicals are allowed, no condemnations and constantly testing, makes our water so clean that it in fact creates problems for Danes when we travel outside Denmark. Even the slightest deviation from the absolute perfect can land us a bad stomach. :-)
Danish dyspepsia is more a reaction to flavorful ethnic food (compared to Danish blandness) than it is any amoebic tap water issues.
@@williamjones4716You had been 100% correct if you had said that in the 1980s, but today is it almost hard to find anything without spices. :-)
But our stomach is extremely untrained in just the slightest contamination of the water. Water from the US one of the types that most Danes gets surprised when they find out that it can put us down for days.
The only reason I despise Copenhagen (Twice as many bikes than cars-section) is basically because I have grown up in a small town and the nearest towns we have are nowhere near as packed as Copenhagen (Slagelse, Skælskør, Korsør) :-D
The cityfolk idiots in "Kongsby" don't realize how far spread apart things are in Jylland and Vendsyssel.
High taxes in Denmark and High VAT (moms) means we can get a public payed education, so just another way off paying....
.. making it available to everyone no dependent on your family’s wealth
I don’t think you can solely look at 1 thing we get for paying our high taxes. We gain more then free education plus we help people in our country so that we don’t end up like the US or other countries with big issues such as differences in economy in the households. U know poverty and stuff. Not being in dept and getting healthcare for free is a major bonus
As a Dane that has travelled all my life, i can proudly say, home is the best. Imean not disrespect, just my honest feeling. I love the Nature, food, people and experiences of other countries, but living in DK is the safest and most hyggeligt :-)
Come see for yourselves those who can❤
The DISNEY "castle" was inspired by NEUSCHWANSTEIN in GERMANY.
im danish and i can confirm all of this
From a dane - Don't forget that healthcare and scooling might be free of cost, but we pay high taxes (I love it, but don't forget...).
im proud to be born in denmark and my name is in denmark
The danish flag actually comes from the knights hospitaller. The legend goes that in Tallin 1219 the flag fell down from the sky and turned the tide for the danish army in an attack on Estonia.
Not only that some ferry's also makes it free if you travel with a bike instead of a car!
Things are changing.
Denmark is great
"why are they so okay with this"
i hate the 150% car tax and the countless bs rules that makes life hard
Funny how people with that opinion is more often than not not low earners and high recievers of public help.I bet you have been in more than one social progrm in your life
Well yeah, but not by choise
@@lukasjohansen8086 exactly what a person like you would say. Always thinking the reason why you fail at life is circumstances while everyone else is by choice.
Denmark is a boring (yet somewhat safe) country to live in and ill stay by that opinion. I am strongly assuming that you are danish because of your username.
wether ive had public help of any kind is completely unrelated to the 150% car tax. Its an extremely low amount that the goverment gets when someone chooses to buy a brand new car. Which is partly why i think its an dumb decision. Lets take a Look at germany with their "luxury" and good quailty cars. Why does germany have an autobahn with no speedlimit? (And hopefully continues to have it...) because their cars arent 150%+ along with 2-5x extra tax and pricing and other bs that you have to pay just to own a car. People in denmark buy old barely working outdated used cars because they are so much cheaper. (and keep in mind theres an incresing need for mechanics) And as you an i both know, the past is considered "too dangerous". @@nielslarsen1693
Dont get me too wrong on this, i think the taxes and free healthcare and some other things are amazing and hope this country wont change that. My problem is the rules and restrictions of everything. For example: If 18-20 year old daughter got invaded by robbers at her apartment; Then our country is telling our citizens to "Call the emergency service and hide"... Thats how u get urself killed or trumatized, Killing and or hurting the robber/invader will result in you breaking the law and risk being punished for... well, self-defence.
But anyways, most taxes i understand but some are just stupid and i quarentee you that many millions get used illegaly which would explain the high tax rates. Fixing this, such as removing real cash would result in lower taxes.
And yes i know its not this simple but we have a women in charge after all lmfao
TLDR;
Highly unnecessary tax rates.
Too many rules that simply makes life harder rather then safer/easier.
I'm a Dane. and 1. of all Denmark is the 2nd happiest country in the world Findland is 1st. and 2. I would not say we have mountains but hills since Møllehøj is a hill 3. Most of all Education is free not all but the ground school and gymnasium what we call it is free 4. Denmark is not in the top 10 of the most exporting food not even the top 20 it's not only in Cophenhagen that you can drink water from the tap you can do that in the whole of Denmark
Bring it I live here❤🤲
Im from denmark-
You forgot greenland :-) Part of Danmark.

@@kennethbjrgensen5684 And Bornholm
What kind of nonsense is he saying about us not complaining about the weather, we do that all the time🤣
We won't suffocate in pyroclastic flows anytime soon here in Denmark. And that's a good thing.
Here you have the right spelling: Jylland, Sjælland, Fyn and Bornholm.
0:59 some us pay 65% for taxes
Not only is education free but, if you're over 18 you get paid to study, SU, state education support
You can drink from the tap everywhere in Denmark, not only Copenhagen
Education after normal school years are not entirely free
Healthcare and education are NOT free. Danes pay one of the OECD´s largest tax-percentages, as high as over 50%
Cant forget Stevns Klint
Dont drink. From the tap. Let the water rest some hours In the glass ok❤
I am so Happy to born in Denmark since i could have been born in china
❤❤🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Im a proud dane!!
Dannebrog does actually not mean Danish cloth. It's partially a Frisian word meaning red-coloured cloth. Dannebrog is older than you say in the video. Originally it was a red triangular flag with a black raven (symbolizing Odin's two ravens). After Christianity came to the country and the Danes conquered Estonia in 1219 it seems the white cross of St. John was added instead over time.
