[Coming] Denmark (help)

Uhm, as you see I have a Danish flag, but I'm from Bulgaria. I currently live in Aalborg, which is in Nordjyland (~400km from Copenhagen), but I'm planning to move to Copenhagen after this semester to either KEA or CPH business.

I'll give you streight answers to your quetions:
- well from the time I've spent here it does rain, but I wouldn't say it's like England. What actually bothers me is the wind. Atm it's not cold, it's around 0*C, but the wind is making everything worse.

- Prices are high for people who don't work. Once you you work, they're okay, even cheap compared to salary/stock price ratio in Bulgaria/Romania.

- Well it is not calculated like that, but I just woke up and I'd say roughly it is around 40% yes.

- As I mentioned, hopefully I will


Don't worry, there're a lot of people from Romania, Bulgaria, so you're not going to be the only one. In my class (~35 people) 15 are Romanians, 12 or so are Bulgarians, rest are people from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary..

just some extra stuff
- Danish people have kronas, 1DKK = 0.13E
- Transportation (as well as other paid services is expensive as hell. It costs me more to fly from Aalborg to Copenhagen than from Copenhagen to Bulgaria).
- Danish language is hard as hell as well..

Hopefully that can help you a bit

Well yeah it's kinda hard to get a job if you're not studying Danish.

As transportation I meant overall - buses, trains, etc. Bikes are an option as well, but people them if you don't lock them. And you need to have papers for the bike itself (to prove it's yours and not stolen).

For the questions:
1. They're nice and very helping (talking from my experience). Everytime you go to the kommune (the municipality) they're trying to help you as fast as possible, everyone knows English - from the youngest to the oldest people.

2. Well the native scandinavian girls are like they're presented over the world - bright/white skin, blond hair, blue eyes :P

3. Jelous? Of what? This is something I haven't seen, tbh.


You also asked about money you need and I didn't answer you. Basically 4000 kronas shall be enough for your staying per month ~500E. I'm currently living on the center of Aalborg in a furnitured apartment (including all bills + internet) and I pay 2100DKK for the room. If your university is offering places they can be as low as 1500 if they're shared (I'm not in touch with Copenhagen's prices, but they're not that high compared to Aalborg from what I've heard).

For other utilities, My gym pass costs 130,- per month and I use roughly 70,- for food per day (can be less, I'm currently running on a diet so I buy more expensive stuff).

Hope that helps, if you need something else just ask, I guess I'm not the only one living in Denmark :D

Yeah, basically you don't live on the Balkans, everything is like it should :D It is clean, ye. Well they're full of people pretty much all the time (both pubs and restaurants), but they're expensive as @#!$. 20ml vodka is 5DKK which is 0.7 euro

Well not much stuff you can do without knowing Danish... cleaning, delivering.. you'll get lucky if you get to work at a restaurant or so..

Btw, I'll send you a PM and explain you there what about

Woh....good thing that I don't drink alcohol ^^ and I'm not a smoker, so only win.

What about fast food? Is it cheap?

I feel nikolaa already asked all your questions. But I've lived here all my life so ask away if you have anymore questions.

i would need a tl;dr then cause i cant be bothered to read those walls of text :)

In Scandinavia you eat kebab, not McShitnalds - if you're already going for fastfood.
