Really I did...But it was just to intense, with insest and all, even thought I had to read the English subtitles...I dind't finish it and erased it from the DVR. THe brother that was abusive to his wife really bothered me,and the cursing<br /> was too much. I enjoy the Swedish movies I've seen more.<br /><br /> Neither Benny or I drink much, He enjoys a beer or two but as he is diabetic, One is usually the limit, and no one in Denmark ever offered me a margarita, and I don't drink beer. They seemed fine with that.LJensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560857663891505238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-24543062738569451712009-08-18T09:24:07.988+02:002009-08-18T09:24:07.988+02:00My danish friends told me that danes are the's...My danish friends told me that danes are the'sit in a pub and drink type' and laughed how indians dance anywhere. One time a friend went with the danish guys to a club and saw a group of 10 dancing VERY weird like they were in painful spasms. She joked that they may be danes and was met with NO WAY, danes dont dance. Sure enough they turned out to be some danish teachers on a work trip!I could deal with shaking hands, it gives me time to register the face and names. My boys north copenhagen friends are all about hugging and 2 air kisses.I always forget their faces and their hair gets stuck to my lipgloss.His other non north copenhagen friends just hand me a beer, I remember thier names and faces.Junehttp://www.shetalkslikejune.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-25785222674802314342009-08-18T08:45:28.434+02:002009-08-18T08:45:28.434+02:00You are a credit to your demographic!

I h...You are a credit to your demographic! Kudos. <br /><br />I hear you on the handshaking. Over the years, I have tried every ploy imaginable to avoid it but there really is no way short of social suicide in this society. It is for this reason that I embrace swine flu season, for it presents a unique opportunity to refuse a handshake without causing too much offense.<br /><br />I know, I know. I'm sick in the head. ;)bad immigranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350771019807271095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-85568699529830682742009-08-17T20:10:25.647+02:002009-08-17T20:10:25.647+02:00it does sound pretty bearable indeed. there is a m...it does sound pretty bearable indeed. there is a movie called festen about inappropriate behaviour and birthday parties? i have to check this out.Paula https://www.blogger.com/profile/13365717701684045748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-43194629636319432062009-08-17T19:16:05.270+02:002009-08-17T19:16:05.270+02:00*lol*

Last time we went to such an event I just went "Hi everyone!" and waved and it was my non-Danish husband who pointed out that I was the only one doing that - and then he insisted I teach him correct etiquette at parties. So there we were, shaking hands and doing introductions much to my dismay. ;)Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899351920200519306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-49184973076068689792009-08-17T18:40:55.012+02:002009-08-17T18:40:55.012+02:00I didn't get the drunk text until the next day...I didn't get the drunk text until the next day, so no, you didn't wake me as I don't take my phone to the bedroom!<br /><br />I have to hand it to you, you lasted far longer at this event than I have ever lasted at any party - 4 hours is usually my breaking point, at which point I started hinting to my Dane that we need to find a polite way to excuse ourselves before I hurt someone.PiNG aka Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486002308919156913noreply@blogger.com
