"I love the calmness of queueing in Denmark" + other observations
Episode description
Guki is originally from Georgia (the country, not the US state), and moved to Denmark for studies after growing up fascinated by Scandinavia.
This is a different type of episode to our usual ones, where we speak with people are learning about Danish culture after moving to Denmark.
These interviews, we feel, are a great way to learn practical advice from others adapting to Denmark, but also to get fresh perspectives on things that seem peculiar to outsiders.
Guki and Sam talk about a variety of different topics, including:
- Guki's experience growing up during conflicts in Georgia
- Similarities between Georgia and Denmark (rice pudding)
- Differences (approach to drinking; people volunteering in Denmark; how Danes queue)
- Advice for people new to Denmark
as well as how Guki's parents are still worried about her cycling.
