Berkeley Guide to Europe:
Denmark
By Jamie Davidson
Perched inconspicuously between the rest of Scandinavia and the Continent, with five million people spread among 500 islands, Denmark is a tiny but vital country with one of the friendliest populations in the world. Although most people know little about Denmark (other than pastries and Vikings), Danes certainly exhibit no resentment or inferiority complex. In fact, Danes cherish their relative anonymity among loud, obnoxious, and uncouth foreign tourists--it keeps their country hyggeligt (pronounced hoog-ly), which means something like "small and cozy" and has to do with such simple pleasures as drinking and chatting with lifelong friends. Still, the Danes have a distinct affinity for the English-speaking world, and it shows up in everything from their impeccable command of English to their music, fashion, and movie preferences.
