I’ve never vacationed in Germany, mainly because my wife does not speak German. I do want to go, though, I have a feeling that there’s a lot of regional culture and food to discover if we just gave it a go.

I think it’s a power-thing. Some Americans follow the ‘customer is always right’ thinking and expect staff to be servile. But my experience in Europe is that when you interact with a waiter or a shop assistant you’re interacting with an equal who happens to be serving you at that moment, and who also expects a certain something from you.

I still remember a waiter who was very disappointed in me because I didn’t know which wine I wanted to have with my fish 😂 Sorry, Danes don’t know much about wine. Anyway, the only time I’ve encountered rude staff was in Belgium and only once or twice - and probably just because we seemed impatient.

That looks awful :D Also vaguely obscene

Hehe, I’ve been to Paris twice, and to Bordeaux, Montpellier, Hauts de France, and surrounding countryside as well. This year we’ll drive to Alsace-Lorraine and visit the Vosges. I’ve liked every visit 🙂

I mean, some people are rude, that’s normal. But overall we’ve been treated really well no matter where we’ve been.

I was in Bordeaux with my family for the world cup in 2018, it was a great experience even with thousands of people and us with two toddlers.

Sorry, this comes of as a love letter to France 😂 I promise, I also love visiting other parts of Europe!

Well, Danes are also famously direct, so I think it comes off as pretty normal to us. No need to waste too much time beating around the bush.

My favourite country to visit would be France, I like the food, I like the language, I like the people, I like the culture in general.

Many people claim the French are rude which is not my experience at all. Maybe because Danes are ruder? 😂

Au contraire, I’ve only been met with respect and professionalism when I’ve been to France.

You’re gonna run out of money before you run out of poor people

It’s already active in Denmark, we’ve been ill in my household since early December, one at the time. I think we’ve had Covid & the flu, just RS left for us I guess :D
