You know you are Danish when...

I thought this was extremely funny and true when I read this post by another exchange student.  I am now forwarding it on to you.  This is the real Danish way.

You know you are Danish when

... you drink more beer than any other beverages.

... you plan to have one of your friends hang out after school one week in advance.

... you say "tak" (thanks) after doing anything -- ANYthing

... you speak english when you are drunk

... you style your hair (guys) or spray-tan yourself until you're orange (girls/guys)

... you're going to be a doctor or a scientist as a backup career.

... you often ride a bike as your mode of daily transportation in lieu of a car.

... you're excellent at soccer even if you "don't play it."

... you tuck your pants into your socks.

... you go to church only on a few occasions because those occasions come with massive parties.

... you sleep with a pillow that has fewer feathers than a pigeon.

... you eat a bowl of Corn Flakes or grains for breakfast EVERY morning.

... you have a "summer house" less than an hour's drive away.

... you don't even know that your school has exchange students.

... you're working on "a big report for school" (They're always doing this... Always.)

... you look forward to the weekend because it'll give you more time to do homework.

... you drink coffee as a way to relax.

... you have an intricate understanding of American politics, even though you can't locate California.

... you shower in school.

... you hate "Nick og Jay" but listen to their music anyway.

... you have a weekend hangover that lasts all week.

This is the basic understanding of how Danes act, and what they say.  This does not always mean that they do homework on weekends or all the time, but it is what they would say if you asked to hang out the same day.  Most things are planned way in advance.
